The first time Lucien saw Tento his heart moved, hence why he frowned, because he felt too comfortable with a stranger —as if both of them knew each other for a long time.
Over the past year, the feeling got deeper to the point of him smiling towards Tento (chapter 25). However, when that vision occurred, he saw Ten coming out from one of the graves, and he felt a subtle mixture of fury and sadness.
Unable to control the foreign emotions, Lucien gave up, inciting him to talk to a stranger. Upon chatting, nevertheless, he felt something attempting to take over the nerves around his mouth; the words coming weren't what he usually says.
This led him to ask about Tento's brother since he is the only one who could do that if he has the birthmark.
Although shocked by Ten's revelation about the birthmark, Lucien didn't ponder much as he had to attend the voice that came to his thoughts.
"Brother, can I borrow your body?"
Lucien had over a dozen questions to this gallant person, but decided to ask in thought, 'How many questions of mine are you going to answer?'
—Lucy felt like he had inherited Shinji's crazy mind, making him somewhat embarrassed.
Oblivious, the voice replies shamelessly, "If we meet in person, I'll answer you to the best of my abilities."
"Fine, you can have it." Lucien agreed.
He was depressed and needed to calm his thoughts before he does anything. Furthermore, He knows better than anyone the importance of his mental well-being.
***
Unknown to Tento that his bastard of a brother had taken control of Lucy's body, he ponders something, giving Lucien a skeptical glance filled with emotions.
"How did you know my brother has a birthmark on his left wrist? Someone with a rotten mouth like him could never associate with someone like you. Also, if you did know each other, you would have noticed long ago."
Lucien's gaze turns to Tsukino regaining her composure.
"You might not know this, but everyone with the birthmark is one person in the end. If someone has a close relation to one of us, they're related to of us; we feel the same emotions towards that person, because of that one person related to them."
"Oh…"
Ten nods, taking his gaze to Tsukino.
"So, this is why Scholar-san gives her a gaze filled with affection. At one point, I thought he had a crush on her. Tsk, tsk, I pity the person among you guys who has such a rotten taste for women... he needs some carrots to open his eyes, and milk to develop his brain cells."
Tsukino's face twisted in fury, but she kept her peace.
Meanwhile, the person possessing Lucien hides a laugh —he knew the moron too well. Clearing his thought, he gives Tento a saturnine gaze that made him flinch.
"Didn't your brother leave you something to protect yourself with? Why are you in such a pathetic state, did something happen to it? Why—?"
"Shut up!"
Ten roared in fury, pausing his brother's barrage of questions.
"You don't understand anything about my brother! He became a Tama-Artist at the age of eight with a Tama that can creature any mechanic object he thinks of!
"I also wanted to be like him: cool and everything! I wanted to be a Tama-Artist too, but look at me now, a pitiful mortal who gets bullied by others!"
Lucy's gaze didn't soften:
"You indeed get bullied. I can't believe some muscle heads think they can bully my brother and get away with it. Tell me Ten, where are those hooligans? I need to beat manners into their skulls. They won't get away with this."
Tento's rage died. He couldn't believe what Lucy was telling him; it had been a while since he had heard those cliché words.
His gaze sharpening in skepticism, he looks Lucy straight into the eyes.
"Why do you sound like my brother? Did he possess you?"
Lucien's body flinches, moving his embarrassed face to look at the sky.
"What do you mean, I sound like your brother? I never met the awesome man before. Also, someone with a strong mind like me could never allow myself to be possessed."
Ten nodded, removing his gaze from Lucy. Inclining his back on a tree trunk, a nostalgic shadows looms over his face.
"You're right, there is no way you would be like that foulmouthed piece of crap."
Tento's brother frowns, clenching Lucien's fist. Why would his (fucking) younger brother say that to the kindest person in the world, if not the universe?
"There is no need to say such offensive words. He is your elder brother after all."
Ten chuckles lightly.
"That idiot is always picking up fights with people. When he was gone a lot of people came to beat me up to take revenge for what he had done."
Lucien face became solemn. The person behind him felt guilty of his past actions, and just rested on the tree.
Ten's gaze sank into the sand, bitterly smiling.
"He is much different from you."
"Me?"
"You kill all your opponents, unlike my brother who spared people, your approach is better. I do wish to be like you, do that no one will mess with me. People came to my brother every day for revenge, but he spared them after a few slaps. You, however, are different, you crush them, sending a message to others to not provoke you, or they might end up dead.
"There is nothing good as a bad reputation to scare people!"
Lucien furrows his brows —even the owner of the body. How can Tento be this twisted after a few years of living alone —only the big brother should be twisted? Taking a deep breath, the brother suggests:
"You shouldn't look up to such people."
"It's you, though."
"Forget I said anything."
A moment of silence descends between the two. After a few minutes Lucy places his hand on Ten's head
In his real body, he tried to appear as civilized as possible to not blow his cover.
"You should eat a lot, you're not a stickm..." He pauses slightly, and corrects his mistake, "I mean, this skinny. Also, use what I..." He pauses again, "... your brother gave you. There is a reason he left it with you.
"Although you got the hang of it too early in life, don't mind much about hurting people. An age which the First Tama-Artist talked about shall come, be patient, okay?"
Unconditionally a tear left Ten's eyelid.
"You like the First Tama-Artist?"
"Who wouldn't? He is a legend. From rags to greatness. From idiot to smart ass. Sometimes, I ask myself what would he do in certain situations?"
Ten laughs.
"My brother also says the same."
"Yeah."
Lucy let's go of his Ten's messy hair.
"Your brother is a complicated man. He is also part of the reason why you didn't become a Tama-Artist.
"Do you hate him?"
Ten grins viciously.
"Why would I hate a piece of crap like him? I want to beat the shit of him."
The brother laughs. Why would this (bitch ass) brother of his beat someone as ceremonious as him?
"All I can tell you now is that certain entities are watching over those with that birthmark."
The message was meant for Lucy and Tsukino who was now coming toward them.
***
Inside Lucien's mind.
'Why didn't you possess Tsukino?'
Tento's brother chuckles mischievously.
"If I possess a girl, I would look at things I don't have. Also, I can only possess you and your big brother. He is one of 'us'."
Lucien knew who 'us' were, but never expected to hear that he has a big brother.
Ten's brother answers the question he was about to come up with.
"You'll meet him sooner; he has been searching for you. I doubt you will get along with him though, he is mischievous. To put it simply he is a crazy-smart-idiot.
"See you around."

Back at the White Room.
"You've grown Tento, you shithead"
The black-eyed young man grins, looking at the ceiling. After a minute, an army of palm sized, gray fighter jets project out of thin air.
"Time to break out motherfuckers!"
—Why am I yelling?
