[ it's weird to hear him laugh like that, like everything is back to normal like nothing ever happened, and for a moment it's actually kind of nice. it's not something she'd ever thought she'd feel around luke again, but the sudden familiarity of it all is enough for her to elbow him in the ribs without it being violent. she'd forgotten how much of a playful little shit he could be before he went and became the world's biggest douchebag. ]
No you're not.
[ she rolls her eyes at him, but there's a hint of a smile there, too. she just hopes there's no one around to see any of this, because it probably looks really weird. luke castellan and clarisse la rue walking down the street arm in arm and... smiling at one another. it's best that she doesn't think about it, or she might flip out again, and that didn't end so well last time. it's not even really that she's trying to avoid hurting his feelings, she's trying to avoid getting hers hurt. she has enough guilt to deal with already, she doesn't need it from some petty arguments. ]
