    Summary

    Emmy is already outside waiting for him. “I’d heard you were discharged,” she says, in lieu of explanation. “Need a helping hand?”

    Hershel cracks a smile despite himself. “Now, Emmy, jokes at another’s expense are quite rude. How long have you been sitting on that one for, incidentally?”

    “Since about twenty minutes after I got the news,” she says, smiling. “How long are you supposed to be off work and healing? Incidentally.”

    “Emmy,” he says reproachfully.

    (Or: Hershel gets hurt - badly - in the explosion on Ambrosia. It takes a while to get used to.)

    Summary

    Luke doesn’t feel very gentlemanly as he marches through the tables to where Descole is standing close to the door of the cafe, alone and just ready to leave, and taps him on the shoulder.

    …Okay, it’s less of a tap and more of an annoyed whack - in Luke’s defence, he did mean for it to be a tap, but there’s something about having his mum locked in a cellar for months that makes him entirely less sympathetic.

    “You,” Luke hisses at him.

    “Luke Triton,” Descole sneers back.

    or: seven years post-AL, luke confronts descole in a cafe, invites himself into his home, and gets some well-needed closure.

    Summary

    It becomes quite difficult to remain gentlemanly when you’ve been convinced your apprentice is dead.

    Indeed, Professor Hershel Layton has encountered many inexplicable things in his life, seemingly magical and often mysterious things. Labyrinthia had been no different. A town shrouded in mystery, a truly remarkable place that he’d been eager to unravel. Until a few hours ago that is.

    The scene he’d encountered upon entering the Alchemist’s workshop had turned his blood to ice, the immortalized sight of Luke standing protectively in front of Ms. Fey, yet an unmistakably frightened look in his eyes. He didn’t want to believe what he was seeing.
