Khiraen raised and trained him and was there through every moment with him. He feels prepared to face anything thanks to Khiraen's guidance and also supported to pursue wants while his life is his own. Sure there are plenty of times he's beyond gotten on Khiraen's nerves but he's always been welcomed and encouraged to be the best version of himself possible.

It's cliche to think they met at a college party in NoLa - fresh bloods, wide eyed and steering away from the pulsing bundle of bodies on the dance floor. They got to talking over a few beers in hallways, kitchen, and balcony. This lead to texting which lead to dates which lead into trying to see if it could be more. Things always felt a little mellow but Lucas had no problem with slow until three months in, one Wednesday night during final season, Roxanne appeared - an honest mess - with a confession that she was actually gay. It took minimal time to wrap his head around it until it all fell into place and now they're better friends than they were ever lovers.

Lucas shared some classes with Laith, whose geokinesis had magical properties he found difficult to grasp. It was Lucas who made the first move, sitting next to him for a group project that brought them together all too quickly. This started late night texts and sneaking around the property to meet for dates to anywhere that was open and nearby. They were together from late sophomore year to mid senior year, when Laith started to get involved in drama Lucas couldn't really keep up. It lead to fights which lead to a realization they had started to become different people.
Ruby attended the same cooking and sewing classes as Lucas throughout middle school. At first they were friends, she would help him when he fumbleded clumsily through certain things that would usually only make him fumble more. Evenetually, his confidence spilled out of him like it would somedays and he asked her out. A few more formal dates turned into hanging out which turned into a relationship that lasted well into freshman year of highschool. It's then they started to grow apart until Ruby ended things, sweetly and warmly but for the best.
