DARK ROMANTICA | JOINING

[LUCERNE.]

— Lucerne and Death were well acquainted but had never been friends. After all, he'd seen what death left behind, ghastly images etched in the back of his mind until the day he would eventually meet Death face to face. Often so insensitive to most signs of death, the loss of his brother had been significant to Lucerne; when he discovered the body, it took him a while to actually recognize what had been left of his brother. As a doctor, he was used to death. Used to blood adorning peoples' skin. He only had one last person whose death would kill him. Anyone else meant little to Lucerne anymore.

In many ways, that was a good thing. Shut off emotion to enhance logic.

And so, as a bloodstained woman called out that she was looking to join, all Lucerne could do was approach calmly, unaffected by the blood across her features. Of the members in the Badlands, he was one of the lesser threatening-looking ones. Though tall, he was limber. Though aloof, he was passive. He was unarmed, as he always was - in his mind it was better to be killed than to end the life of another. All he could do was hope his smart mouth could keep him alive, but there was only so much that talking could so.

He stopped several feet away, piercing blue gaze peering over sharply before he nodded towards her face. "Your blood?" Of course he'd ask such a thing, eyes flitting across her features. It was in his morals to try treat any injuries, regardless of whether he knew the person or not. After all, it was not out of the kindness of his heart but more so the fact that he could prove to himself and others that he was skilled and intelligent. A low self-esteem could do that to a person. But, she was not injured. A brief once over could tell him that. She'd killed something. He stopped to peer around, checking if any other Badlanders were on their way, before speaking once more, monotonous and low, "I am not the one to choose whether or not you may join - that is for Catalyst to decide. They ought to be here soon. I can imagine they'd be welcoming, unless you choose to kill one of us like you did to whoever's blood that is."
