Unlike some others, Luke isn't morally or fundamentally opposed to sand, but he does tend to be wary of it and the way it always manages to get under his synthskin and into his prosthetic. Is it dangerous or ill-advised to head away from the beach and towards the swamp? Probably, but there do seem to be other people there and swamps aren't so bad. He's had plenty of good times in a swamp.

Plenty of leeches, too.

"Hey, pal?"


Luke is always happy to help out where and when he can - tying knots, offering some tinkering, promising never ever to cook but being willing to fix the stove. (Seriously, do not let him near your food. He'll either eat it, overspice it, or both.)

He's far from home, but this is novel and no one recognizes him - both things conspire to put him in a great mood. Maybe he tries to drag your character into helping out or offers a bit of food that he'd earned as payment:

- "Here, hold this for a moment, I just need to..." as he wriggles under something to adjust a knob or rivet.

- "Try this! I dunno what it is, but it's good." Or maybe, "Try this, it smells awful but tastes like...uh, something? Something good, but not good?"
