After Story
Luke: Are you done for the day? It seems like I'm finally getting a chance to spend time with you.
Intimate Interaction
You: (The new Pharaoh is still young, and there are a lot of things that need the temple's support...)
You: (Recently, this place is inundated with guests from morning to night. It's hard to find a chance to talk to Luke.)
(if repeated)
You: (I've just dispatched all the maids, so there's no need to worry about being disturbed for the time being.)
You: Luke, have you worn that mask lately?
Luke: To avoid having my face seen by others, I occasionally wear it when going out... but in front of you, there's no need for that.
You: Yeah. It's hard to see your expression with the mask on, so it's better without it.
(if repeated)
You: (I hope that one day Luke won't have to wear that mask any longer, and can openly walk in the streets.)
You: (Legends say that it is the possession of the gods, which has the effect of preventing calamities and diseases. A symbol of the reincarnation of life, rebirth, and eternity.)
Luke: You're staring at my chest. Curious about this pendant?
You: A little bit... I remember you didn't believe in these things. Why are you still wearing an amulet?
Luke: I'm not wearing it for protection or blessing. It's actually something used in prayers for the deceased. I just wear it all the time since I got used to it.
Luke: But there's no longer any use for it now. Maybe it's better if I take it off...
You: Eh? Don't take it off... I think it looks quite good even as a simple accessory. You should continue wearing it.
Luke: Really? Since you like how it looks on me, I guess it can stay.
(if repeated)
You: (I also hope that this amulet will bless Luke.)
Falafels...
You: How strange. The taste of these falafels are different from the ones I tried before. These taste quite unique...
Luke: I guess there's no hiding things from you. I snuck into the kitchen and made it when nobody was there.
Luke: After all, in my current situation, it is not very convenient to buy things from the bazaar anymore. It would be a problem if my identity was revealed.
You: Is that so...
You: (Previously, I had announced to the public that Luke had died in prison. Although he escaped from his punishment, his freedom is now limited.)
Luke: What's up? Are the falafels not to your liking?
You: Not at all! The're good! I just thought that your current life might be boring for you...
You: If you want, we can temporarily live outside the capital. That way, you won't have to walk on eggshells every day.
Luke: That's definitely not something I want. Because... I think my current life is actually pretty good. It's not boring at all.
You: Really?
Luke: Yeah. I'm telling you the truth. If no one knows I'm alive, then I can avoid some of the unnecessary social interaction. I see it as a plus in my books.
Luke: Moreover, you'll always be thinking of me, just like you are doing right now, because I'm all alone.
Luke: No matter where you are and who you are talking to, as long as you always remember that I am waiting for you. That alone is enough to satisfy me.
You: Luke, you shouldn't be satisfied that easily...
You: Even if we went somewhere else and you didn't need to live so reclusively, I'd still be thinking about you.
Luke: Then, when the time comes... I will hold my chin up high and tell everyone that you belong to me. I'll chase away anyone that dares disturbs us.
You: Pfft! That's pretty childish of you, Luke.
Luke: I have tolerated things for such a long time now, I think I can be forgiven for being slightly selfish.
Luke: Also, after the burden is lifted from my shoulders, I want for you to be more childish and true to yourself when in front of me, okay?
You: Okay... I'll give it a try.
