[Van has one arm bandaged as tightly as one hand would allow, as he attempts to cast a healing arte. Then he frowns, the arte doing little good.]

I suppose broken bones are beyond my ability to heal. To think I would be so foolish a second time...

[gives him a weary smile, turning slightly to the side to better hide his injury]

Ah, of course. Have you not seen me before?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

Sir, I have promised I can do my job.

[allthatdies]

Your job?

...Forgive me, my memory hasn't been the best. What job was that?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

That is not amusing. I... I will collect [LITERALLY BLINKS OUT OF EXISTENCE FOR THE NEXT WORDS] I promise.

[simply stares at him for a moment]

...Asch?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

Sir?

[allthatdies]

Are you, well?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[allthatdies]

...I see.

You're certain there wasn't anything you wanted from me?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

... are you not here to check up on me?

[allthatdies]

No. I'm not here for that.

... [walks over to him]

[allthatdies]

...What is it?

[holds out his hand]

[allthatdies]

[looks at his hand for a moment, hesitating; then he takes it with his good hand]

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

[hand goes straight through] I see.

[allthatdies]

...It can't be.

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

So you aren't him.

[allthatdies]

What are you?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

I can't say.

[allthatdies]

Do you not know?

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

I am aware. However, I cannot tell you.

[allthatdies]

...I understand.

[blesschild.livejournal.com]

... in fact, I shouldn't have even been here. I wonder what is going on.

[allthatdies]

You must have been brought in from your world. I'm afraid there isn't much sense behind it.
