[Hey, that's the voice of a familiar red head! But where is he? Not to your left. Not to your right. Not in front or behind. Try looking up!]
[...yeah, this crossover brat likes to hover. Just to prove he can.]
[Luke's lounging in the air like he's floating around in a pool, letting the breeze blow him wherever. He's got a massively huge book on his lap, which is threatening to topple off, considering how he's twisted around trying to peer down at Guy through his bone-rimmed glasses.]
