[How ironic that Porky would say something like that to him. Lucas will withdraw his hand the whole way, tucking the yo-yo back within his pocket. If Porky can feel that way about his most treasured possession . . . Well. No. It wasn't comparable. He wasn't obligated to return that feeling in kind. But he knew, of course, that the sentiments were true, had come to understand this within the first few months of Porky's arrival here.
That didn't mean, of course, that he had entirely been able to stop it from eating away.
Lucas does not notice Porky's expression. He's got a complicated one of his own working its way through all of the internal conflict that he's feeling at the moment. At the moment, predominantly . . . it is pity.]
