[It was now a few days after her conversation with her brother, but even now she was still feeling downcast. She had to find out the truth, and the only way she thought was to seek out Asch, after all her brother refused to provide her with the answers she sought. Taking a hold of her staff she feels more determined and now she sets out of her room to look for Asch, or an Asch.]

[ooc: She is going to be walking around the dressing room anyone is free to stop and say hi.]

Tear.

[She stops when she hears her name being called. She tries not to look so tense in front of Jade.] Hello, colonel. I see you are well.

Are you?

I’m fine thank you. I am only taking a walk.

[She looks at Jade more carefully now. Did Jade know? She had her suspicions about Asch and Luke, surely Jade suspected the same.]

[And he did. Nothing was more obvious to him of all people.]

A walk. I see. May I take a guess, to what's on your mind?

[She doesn’t answer his question instead she simply states the following.]

I saw my brother, and spoke with him.

It was bound to happen. I should of known.

Curious, isn't it?

I just want to know the truth.

…I don’t know what to believe anymore.

Oh, believe it. This is reality, Tear. Unfortunately.

The truth isn't that far from what you're speculating.

Then there is nothing else to do. I must end this before it gets out of hand.

[She has composed herself. There was no way around it, her brother had to die or at the very least she had to try and stop him.]

Tear, as far as the situation with Luke is...what is done is done.

But as for General Grants; you don't know what he is planning. Just... [He pauses, he knew that she will do what she wants.] Be aware.

I understand that completely.

I know. I intend to find out and deal with it immediatly.

Is there no way I can talk you out of pursuing him for the moment?

This is my responsibility, colonel.

[She doesn't plan to give up now. She just needed to confirm a few things with Asch and she would then pursue her brother.]

Don't be so selfish, Tear. This isn't just about your personal vendetta.

It's nothing of the sort. I fear that whatever my brother is planning will put the lives of those on Auldrant in danger.

I've gathered that much myself...but I know better then to pre-maturely pursue it. You and I are both aware of this.

Do you know what I am getting at, Tear?

I was aware of the danger and of the possible outcome of this. I don't expect you to understand.

This is something I must do.

What is your probability of failure? Hm?

[She remains silent for a moment.]

I think we both know what it is. If only he had not intervened, this would be over with.

Aaand...What is the probability to get that kind of advantage again?

It's not likely. I am sure he would remain vigilant in a place like this. Specially if he has no support from his generals.

Where is your utility to settle this?

Although, he is alone.

He may be alone, but he would not go down easily. Am I making a mistake. [The question is for herself. She is reconsidering now, because as long as they were not on Auldrant the people there would be safe. Without further information she had no reason to believe he would harm anyone here.]

... ...
[He just watches her. He notices her train of thought, or rather, irrationality when it comes to her brother. He just waits for her to make reason with herself.]
