"A man who tries to do the Lord's work is still a good man deep down," Lucas said, though he didn't truly believe his words. Most likely it was one of Father Frollo's sayings. "An interesting history of your staff, Miss Kane. It certainly explains the power and energy I feel from it at the moment."<br/><br/>He tilted his head when he heard the story, dimly recalling what a body thief was during his lessons and studies under the Vatican. "Nasty piece of work, body thieves are," he commented, making a face when he remembered one part of information he did remember.<br/><br/>Apparently, stealing the body could be... painful for the person. Easy for the invader but painful for the victim. Very painful. If those illustrations in his old study books were right... "Generally soulless, if I recall correctly. May I ask why he was after your staff and not the other items your family possibly have?"<br/><br/>He set his jaw when he heard the rest of the story, looking angry at the destruction one man made against an entire family for one item. "And you wish to find him to exact revenge or pay him equal in his deeds then? I can understand that, Miss Kane. Very much."<br/><br/>"Now, before I help," he said, frowning a bit. "I need to ask first the task you ask of me to do. It is the reason why I am here. While I love to help, I am still human. A human with needs. And one of them is curiosity of knowledge. Especially anything considering Caroline Richardson."
