[ It's been a while since he watched any soap operas, but yeah, he knew what they were. He's into other kinds of old TV shows and movies more, but he can still enjoy an old soap opera every so often. Why not, right? ]
Ah— especially when they seem hopeless. [ He smiled and tilted his head. ] Hope is the last one to go, after all. And as long as you have hope, it'll never be really gone.
[ It didn't seem right to him that a child wouldn't be hopeful. Lucy should be hopeful, and there had to be something wrong with the place she came from that it could make her feel so hopeless when she was so young. Hope wasn't something he could just willingly give her, but he could still try to help her see it, and find it even in the smallest of things.
He nodded at her surprise, giving her a moment to process that bit of information. He didn't get into a lot of detail, but this was still the first time he told anyone about his childhood or Frank while in the Quarantine. Granted, there was Bones, but he already knew about it well before they both came here. ]
Well... not all step-parents. I guess I just wasn't very lucky. [ He shrugged. There was a time when this conversation would be more emotional and heated on his end, but he'd worked past it now. He didn't hold that grudge so close to his chest, and he certainly had no feelings whatsoever left for the man. He'd been gone from his life for a long time, anyway. ]
I'm glad to hear that. [ His smile softened, growing a little wider as he nodded. ] And I'd like that very much, too.
