As Luka lays down in his bed, he stares up at the ceiling almost all night long. Anxiety for Jacob's arrival the next day was wearing heavily on his shoulders.
In the morning, Luka climbs out of bed and heads to the kitchen to set up Snow's breakfast so he can break the news to his leopard gently.
Setting everything up on the plate for Snow, Luka carries it over to the table with a smile. "Good morning. I'm glad to see you're sitting at the table this time."
Luka takes a small breath, trying to gather his nerves for the tough conversation he is about to have. "There's something I want to talk to you about. It's going to bring on some changes, but I want you to know that no matter what you are always going to be safe here okay?"
"I know, but it's going to be okay. You are still going to have your own room to sleep in whenever you want and I will always be here to protect you." Luka smiles, trying to keep Snow calm.
Luka frowns and holds up his hands in a placating manner. "I promise, nothing is going to change for you. I just...I believe in second chances. How can I expect you to give humans a second chance if I can't even give Jacob one?"
Luka sighs and looks down. "I know it's hard to understand, but I just...I don't want to give up so easily on someone." He looks up at Snow and smiles softly. "I'll make him shower so he smells better."
