Eddy didnt look at Luke as he paged through the sketches. It wasnt new for him, the monsters. They were something of an old favorite for Eddy, familiar friends. He's always enjoyed creating creatures of the night, and had he gone just a slightly different route he might have ended up doing special effects for movies.<br/><br/>But that didnt happen. And it wasnt worth it to ponder what could have been.<i>This is your reality now, Eddy. <br/>
</i><br/>Luke thought them beautiful and that loosened something Eddy. Just enough for him to quirk a smile back.<br/><br/>"You went to school?" Eddy asked carefully. He had been under the impression that Luke hadnt with the way he had spoken about it that day, drunk and sullen.<br/><br/>But apparently he had. Perhaps for the wrong thing, or he hadnt managed to finish. It had definitely been a sore spot though and maybe Eddy shouldn't have asked.
