[ After losing his previous uniform to an unknown person or persons, Engel had taken to scouring every room he encountered in hopes of find another. His efforts had proven fruitless until today, and all that had been left to be done was add holes for his wings. ]

There.

[...and then he shuffles in really quickly and clings to his leg]

[engel]

Oof! [ the little guy doesn't have all that much force behind him, but he did have surprise on his side. plus Asch had been trying to get that damned tabard to sit properly. ] Whoa, what's wrong?

[onwingsofflame]

[nope, he's just gonna cling and maybe sniffle a little]

[engel]

[ leave it to a Luke to not want to explain anything. ] ... [ siiiiiigh. ]

[onwingsofflame]

[snifflesniffle] I wanna go home... I want Big Brother to come get me and I wanna go home, and I don't wanna see no more scary people...

[engel]

[ rests a hand on his head with a frown. ] There's going to be scary people where ever you go.

[onwingsofflame]

B-but Big Brother would protect me if I was home... a-and there's no scary bad people back home like here... h-here's got really, really scary bad people...

[engel]

Dealing with things that make you afraid is part of life, Luke. You're a strong kid but perhaps you should learn to defend yourself so you won't have to be as afraid.

[onwingsofflame]

But Big Brother protects me...

[engel]

You need to rely on yourself as well.

[onwingsofflame]

But I wanna stay with Big Brother forever and ever...

[engel]

Did I say you have to leave him?

[onwingsofflame]

B-but... but he'd protect me if I stay with him...

[engel]

I doubt you want to make him work all the time.

[onwingsofflame]

[:<] I like when Big Brother protects me...<.small>

[engel]

...well, come on, kid. [ pats his head. ] You can't stay out on your own.

[onwingsofflame]

'Cause the bad people who put blood on food will come back if I'm alone...?

[engel]

Blood on your food? Damn monsters. You won't be on your own. If you wish, you may stay near me until your brother comes.

[onwingsofflame]

[clings a little closer] You're nice like Big Brother. And you feel like Big Brother...

[engel]

[ rests a hand protectively on his back. ] That's right... Your brother has some kind of wings also, does he not?

[onwingsofflame]

Uh-huh. Me and Big Brother both have wings...

[engel]

Yet yours are not always visible.

[onwingsofflame]

Nuh-uh... I can only make 'em if Big Brother's here... Big Brother said it's, um... Lorelei's something...

[engel]

A power granted to you by Lorelei.. Interesting. In complete contrast to our own predicament.
