Cooter nodded again, glancing to the little boy who stood cowering behind Luke's legs like someone was going to jump out and bite him. He remembered when he'd first met Luke...Luke was a lot like that too. He wasn't always so confident interacting with people, that came with time when he got used to being in Hazzard. Stood to reason Luke would find and bond with a kid just like him...what puzzled Cooter was exactly why Luke was at the orphanage in the first place.

"So why was ya at the orphanage..."

Luke shrugged. "They needed help," said the dark-haired Duke. "I volunteered," he finished, laying his hand comfortingly on Zac's arm, but letting him stay behind his legs until he was at ease enough to venture out on his own.

Luke too, could remember vividly his first days in Hazzard. He had not been much younger than Zac when his parents were killed, and though he had his aunt and uncle, Daisy and the baby Bo, he had, for a long time, felt scared meeting new people,shy but also frightened...frightened that the more people he allowed into his life, the more people would leave him later on. Truth be told, he still struggled with that sometimes.

Cooter nodded, sensing something deeper but not about to go pressing Luke for more personal information. He knew if it was important Luke would eventually tell him, if not he was content not knowing. He had to admit though, something had changed in Luke...he seemed calmer, more at peace than recently. His eyes didnt look so down, they looked interested once again, looked like he had a plan for moving forwards where recently he had looked lost and like he had no idea what to do...and Cooter knew from experience that that was something Luke hated and tended to resolve quickly.

"Mighty nice of ya buddyroe...he looks like a great kid..."

Zac heard the compliment, peeking out just a little from behind Luke's legs but not making a move to actually be seen.

Luke nodded in agreement. "He is a great kid, Cooter... really great. He hasn't been into Hazzard too often, so we's just looking around..." He didn't mention how Zac had been waiting at the window for his folks. Zac hadn't mentioned them since they left and Luke wanted to keep his mind off his troubles, if only for a little while.
