Summer is on the horizon, do tell, do you have any plans for June? With that question in mind, let's talk to some reviewers.
Seventh Sunset: Ah! Hey! Thank you, present tense has been a habit of mine lately, not many people use it so I decided, "Hey. It sounds weird but I can get the hang of it." Fortunately, I did, and I have much fun using it. And thanks, I do try to keep everyone in character!
Imagine Worlds: It is quite rare, it's such a shame too, the father-daughter dynamic is personally one of the cutest social relationships I've ever seen.
Seventh Sunset: Most accurate you've ever read? That's a new one. Thanks! And yes, it was a UF reference.
The Mocking J: Thanks! A little thinking and character observation was all that I did.
It's always a pleasure to receive a review, so why not sending in your thoughts today?

"Luke my boy, reading about great achievements can serve as motivation for you to do the same."
The day begins much like any other, rather slow. Since it is the weekend, Luke isn't expected to be anywhere near a school, and for that, he can happy.
Layton offers a silent agreement to that fact as the two sit in the dining room eating breakfast. The professor himself makes busy work by toiling around with a small sliding puzzle as he sips his tea, a bit of a bore at first glance, but truly a challenge of frustrating proportions under that layer. Meanwhile, Luke takes mild pleasure in reading the funnies.
Even Layton finds that the puzzle is no easy gig, and unfortunately discovers himself to be in a place where moving the miniature statue to the other side of puzzle just seems like a pipe dream never to come true.
"My word..." he mumbles. Eventually, he gives up, deciding to put-off the puzzle before it gets to him. But as the saying goes, no puzzle is to be left unsolved.
Layton promises to return to it when he has the time.
"Oh wow! Professor, take a look at this!" Luke suddenly announces out of the blue. Curious, Layton puts down his tea and gives the boy a smile, "Hm? What seems to be so engaging, my boy?"
Luke puts down the newspaper for the professor to read, albeit upside-down, "See? Eccentric world-famous French archaeologist museum lecturer Doctor Jean-Pierre Lautrec discovers hidden treasure of the Bourbon Dynasty!"
Layton quietly gasps at the headline, not because of the details provided, but because of who discovered them. He wasn't sure if it was just the mind playing tricks on him, but he was pretty sure that the name sounded familiar.
In the end, Layton fails to find a connection between him and the name, and resorts to simply taking another sip of tea.
"Well then, good for him." he concludes.
