[follow the trail of blood to a new Asch. follow and realize this Asch is probably very close to death. he's beaten up, his limbs hanging awkwardly, and his breathing sounds odd. he's whispering something, but it's pretty garbled given his mouth is swollen and he seems to be missing a few teeth]

I need to get away. I need to kill him. I- [bolts up] Mother!

[Braces his shoulders to prevent further movement] Asch, calm down! What are you talking about?!

Van isn't here. If you were in Auldrant before now, there's nothing you can do about it now.

Let go of me!

[Stern but not entirely unyielding] Will you calm down if I do?

[shifts, trying to punch him]

[Well shit, Guy has to let go to dodge that, even if it wasn't the original's full power] Asch, what the hell do you think you can accomplish in that condition?!

[obviously not much, because he's badly winded at that movement]

[Sighs and scratches at the back of his head. He knew this was going to be difficult, but he's not going to give up now] If you really want to leave, you're at least going to have to relax and let your body rest a little. You're killing yourself like this.

[He's reluctant to touch Asch this time around, if just to avoid the original inflicting pain on himself; but he doesn't know how to aid him otherwise]

Can't let... him... Mother... [panting, shaking]

Damn it, Asch, you need to calm down!

...What happened to your mother?

I got away. He'll go after her, revenge for trying to kill him. I have-

[Guy still doesn't know where this Asch is from or if he's even been in this world long... But if Van was alive in his world, it meant he was in a timeline before the blonde's]

Van wouldn't try to kill your mother, Asch! It would blow his cover and ruin his plans.

I already found out. I got away. His cover is blown, you idiot.

[Sighs once more] Well just because you know doesn't mean the rest of the world does. Van wouldn't bring attention to himself by openly hurting a member of the Kimlascan Royal family. But [shrugs] it's not like I know the situation in your world, so lay off a bit, will ya?

[scoffs] You're such an idiot.

Well I must've done something right if I kept you alive.

[makes an annoyed sound]

So, now that we've clarified that I'm a capable idiot... is there anything I can get for you?

... [struggles to get up again. he's going to keep doing this until he passes out]

[Pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. Asch wouldn't give up until he was writhing on the floor, of that he was sure. Damn stubbornness] You can try all you want, Asch, but even if you make it on your feet, I'm putting you right back in there.

[glares at him]

[Grins, a stern and promising look in his eyes]

[grumbles, hand still hovering where his sword should be]

I'm not going to force you to rest, but I am going to recommend it.

... [coughs, spitting at him]
