[ What the fuck. Luke comes from such a complicated place. ] Okay... what's the Big House? Don't remember that from mythology. [ He thinks about Luke chaperoning kids around the city... it's not really an image he would have expected from him. ] From Virginia. Kinda far from where you're at. We can pretend I managed a trip up to the big city.

[ Let him pretend he's been to New York. When Luke calls him out, he frowns and tenses. ] It... was just a surprise, alright? I've never heard that from a guy before. [ Or anyone. But he's not going to admit that. Anyway, he's still examining Luke's face closely like it's a mystery he has to solve. ] Sinuses? But being punched in the face usually clears those out pretty well. Maybe you have blood stuck in there.
