"Take me!" Lucian's voice is loud and bright and it actually scares himself for a few moments. It doesn't matter, though--his hand grabs onto Dane's arms, squeezing his upper shoulder. He's far too excited than he should be.

"I've always wanted to go--I've been so curious, so--and and with you there, by my side, since you're so experienced..."

Lucian seems to have his mind made up, still holding Dane tightly.

"With you, I could--we could--do anything! And that includes seeing that there are other people like me, like--like us, and Mary, that we're not alone!"
