[He'll probably reach Thancred's actual room first, though it doesn't look like Lynne is in right now from the lack of response.
We'll say Urianger's stepped away, leaving the door to be tentatively opened by a familiar and freshly cleaned (if not slightly askew) mop of white hair, dressed down in more casual, foreign clothing than what he'd been wearing the last few days. Something thrown together from the clothing store, it looks like. Someone found blue jeans, good for him.
He blinks as he sees who it is.]
Ludger?
[There's a slight fog to it, as though the man's only just woken up. But he rolls his shoulders a little with a clear of his throat.]
... I'm afraid Urianger's stepped away for now, but he should be back at some point. What's all this for?
[they're both too busy being nosy or busy to ever be home rip in pieces /j]
...
No, It's alright. I might have dozed a bit, yes, but Urianger would likely have my ear for a bell or two if I was too stubborn to accept a meal hand-delivered. He'd welcome the interruption.
...Your kindness is appreciated, Ludger. Thank you.
Only if you'll let me be a proper gentleman and hold the door. [At least he's in a good enough way to still be joking. And yes, he'll hold the door open. Nothing crazy here in the common area, outside the fact that there's a blanket half-draped against a corner of the couch, disheveled in the way that betrays recent use.]
The landing there next to the icebox should be fine. If the plates will fit overtop and conserve the heat, then that might work best.
[ in both benign and not so benign ways. but Ludger moves on, considering the whole. Lobelia issue. ]
... I hate to be a devil's advocate, but it is possible he's being honest and wrong at the same time. Besides, do we really need to trust him to work with him?
Working with him isn't the concern I have. He's been no stranger to voicing a desire for cooperation. I just don't trust his personal motives for doing so.
[Perhaps unfairly, but tonight is not a night for him to challenge that directly.]
...What was most familiar about it to you? During the whole situation.
[ regardless of what Lobelia actually wants out of this, currently they're all at square one, with basically nothing to go on. they can't afford to be picky at this point. ]
Oh... the hands kind of reminded me of one of my friend Elize's artes - Negative Gate, I think. But it doesn't have that kind of effect. [ ... ] The rest of it was... a little like when I find divergence catalysts. But again - completely different effect.
[He exhales slowly, but doesn't respond to the question. That should be answer enough. Sorry, Ludger. He knows the answer is "no". It doesn't change how he feels.]
A spell of sorts, I take it. Though I'm not familiar with the second - a "divergence catalyst"?
[ sometimes you just have to work with people you can't stand... it's the circle of capitalism (no)
Ludger considers the question. ]
It's basically something or someone that's changed the course of history. They're the heart of alternate dimensions - if you find one, they transform their hosts. If you destroy one, they sort of... scatter and fade.

LUDGER HELP

teehee
Ludger takes in Thancred's demeanor with a tilt of his head, before smiling apologetically. ]
Sorry, did I wake you? It seemed like things were kind of rough on you both back there, so I made food for you guys.
[ ... ]
If you've already eaten, the sandwiches will keep, but you'll need to reheat the soup.

Don't worry about it, it's the least I could do.
[ he shifts his weight, offering the tray ]
Mind if I set this down?

1/2
I'll put them on the counter and cover them.
[ sir your British ]
2/2
Seriously though, are you doing okay? You seemed pretty rattled by what happened to Giyuu.

[Except he knows that's not what Ludger is after. So he gives it a second, dropping to a seat at the edge of the couch.]
Just some unpleasant reminders, otherwise.
Lobelia said it's nothing magical. I've just not decided whether I trust the man at his word or not.
