[The trouble is that he probably won't even tell him. When Luke makes plans, really makes plans and commits to them, he acts alone. In a case like a murder, he'd tell Adam because he trusts him and that was the deal they'd made. Nobody ever said anything about other things like this. He can hope the awful hope that someone else dies, someone else gets the blame...but the vulnerables list unsettles him. Adrien and Marinette are just kids...Dorian is one who makes sense during the heat of trials, and he likes Judar enough that death doesn't make sense yet. That would leave Minako and Arumat, and while he doesn't care much about Minako, he's more worried of what Arumat would do to somebody than Arumat himself.
Just little things to think of when he's alone, really. Adam's explanations are enough to confirm what Luke had initially come to the conclusion of on his own. It was something to do with his family, something that made his environment unsafe and he immediately hates it. But he also knows Adam's proud and would probably react negatively if Luke said anything, so the conversation remains on track.]
By accepting help from other people, it means losing any leverage you had in accomplishments you made. Yeah. I get it. [It's not the same, but...] Doesn't matter if I'm the best swordsman Camp Half-Blood's seen in 300 years. People still treated me like I was something fragile when I came back. You make an achievement and then...what? That's it, it's over. Enjoy the rest of your life. How can you accomplish more when you don't find it yourself?
[Maybe he's projecting a tiny bit, but he can understand enough.] Let me ask you something then. Taking him to court. That was your idea? [He's assuming it's his father solely based on cues he's picked up.]
