"Lucas..." John sighed hard, he knew this day would come.
"Why do you think that you can't do it?"
Lucas pondered for a few seconds and just replied with another question.
"Why can't we take it like this? You are good at leadership, you should pursue it to make things much better and I... I will think of something."
"You know this right? That you're better at this leadership thing than me?"
"What?" Lucas didn't know why the man said that, he was clearly not up for it.
"I observed all the times you were there for your people. In that dimension, those orders that you gave? It made us coordinate better and survive. If you think I am good at leadership, you are probably right."
Lucas looked at John who was smiling, the moonlight was falling on his beard makings some white beard hair glimmer.
