</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca watched as the other hunters took Seth aside and began working over his wound -or wounds if there were more. He moved to the side of the room so as not to be in the way. Looking over to Aries, he frowned as he thought about what he was about to say. With a soft sigh, Luca jumped right in. "What do you think of Seth? I mean... letting him come with us? He wants to get better as a hunter and... well, I <i>could</i> do it, but..." His words trailed off and he crossed his arms. <br/>
<br/>
Leaning against the wall, Luca's gaze fell to the floor and he glared at it. "Last time I was with anyone, I lost all of them. You're the first I've had with me in a very long time. And I've enjoyed every moment of it. But I don't know if I should let Seth come with us. I draw in more vampires than anyone on the planet. There's no way he would be safe. Hell, even you. You're not safe and I don't like that fact. I know you're immortal and all, but watching you get hurt is... it's really hard to get through."<br/>
<br/>
Luca looked up to where Seth was seated, his shirt removed and the wound exposed. "I don't know, Aries. Having someone I could call a friend with me would be nice. I miss that. But I'm also afraid of it. Because of what I could lose at the same time."</span>
