Summary
The blond had come over to Hershel’s flat for the evening for dinner. Brenda was out with a friend, and Luke was staying with his aunt for a weekend out. The professor had no plans, and Clark had never much liked spending time alone.
They’d had more than a bit of wine, something cheap from the store that Hershel’s friend had picked up from the store to complement dinner. Clark had apologized for the lesser quality, but Hershel had only responded that he wasn’t exactly a wine connoisseur. He didn’t mind in the slightest.

Summary
She likes Luke. He’s a sweet boy, a gentle one - even manages to use the London public transport all on his own, just to get to Gressenheller - and a lot of the university seem to think he’s their youngest student. Yet when she looks back at him on the sofa, she frowns. In the time it’s taken her to boil the water and brew the tea, Luke has fallen soundly asleep where he’d been waiting.
It’s odd. Every time she’s seen him since their investigation in Misthallery and the start of his and Professor Layton’s budding friendship (apprenticeship, sorry) he’s been a little different. A little subdued, a little quieter. A lot more sleepy. She never remembered him being so sleepy…
or: luke is acting a little differently after they solve the mystery of the spectre. emmy is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Summary
Arianna’s never been trick-or-treating before.
She’s been ill on and off all her life, and her father could never see the benefits of letting her run around in the cold after dark. Arianna herself didn’t mind too much - she always got tired after walking for too long anyway, and besides, she still managed to consume a very fair number of sweets from Aunt Taffy’s. So she didn’t feel like she was missing out on a lot. Why go out in the cold scavenging for sweets when you could simply buy them and enjoy them in the warm and comfort of your own home?

Summary
“I was out late with family last night, for your information.”
Emmy had this all prepared, had come up with it long before even meeting with Uncle Leon over the weekend.
He wanted her by his side during the mission, and she wouldn’t refuse even if she could. Time was precious with him, even if he barely spoke beyond barking orders or correcting her as needed. All she had to do was stand by his side, basking in their closeness. Emmeline would be allowed to stand by him, close enough to touch if she wanted to.
How unfortunate that it didn’t go exactly as planned.

Or: Emmy has pretty much the worst weekend out ever -

Summary
“Do you have dreams?”
Well, Hershel wasn’t anticipating this. Most of their topics ranged from Hershel’s work to Luke’s animal friends, but they rarely got into details this way. Hershel considered himself a man of science. Dreams were mere things to be brushed away with the light in the morning, not to be thought of.
———
Or: Luke has been having nightmares about the specter, and Hershel does his best to reassure. -

Summary
Upon meeting the son of his old friend Clark for the first time in years, Hershel Layton notes several things about him: he’s solemn, precocious, smartly dressed…
And awfully plump.
The professor knows he really shouldn’t be as fixated on that last one as much as he is.
