[Staff-bearing Luke is out and about. Or at least out, since he's not doing much in the way of wandering about. Instead, he's kind of sitting almost precariously on a tree branch, leaning back against the trunk with his eyes closed, his staff held across his stomach.

Oh, this can't end well.]

I never said that. But having someone else on hand who's had first-hand experience with what she's going through, as well as who has worked with healing artes as much as I have for the past ten years... even you would have to see where that could be an asset.

... [ Damn you. THIS ISN'T ABOUT LOGIC. ] Fine. If she approves, you may offer your assistance.

...

And Asch. Whatever happened, no matter how bad it is, or was... Well. When you're that important to someone, there's always forgiveness. Talk to her.

...mind your own damn business. Last time I tried to talk to her, she stormed off.

So? Find some way to prove to her that she has no reason to. Prove what she means to you. I'm sure you can.

She has every reason to. So butt out. [ Getting a little too close to home. ]

Do you love her?

That's none of your concern.

Then I'll take that as a yes. If you love her, then show her.

Hmph. She'll likely shove her fist into my jaw again.

Nothing worth having is easy.

[ Glances at him, lips quirking up. ] It was quite easy the first time.

[makes a face] Not what I meant.

Of course not. You're as pure and innocent as a child.

Sorry, you must be confusing me with some other Luke.

None that I'm familiar with.

"Pure and innocent," huh... Asch would definitely disagree there...

Perhaps not your body, but your heart must be close to it.

Huh? Why would you say that?

After all you've been through and having a second chance; you're using that again to help others.

...Auldrant's the way it is because of us. I can't just leave it like that. [Let's completely neglect the fact that you're hellbent on saving people here, too, Luke. Sure.]

What choice did you have? Allow Van to carry out his insane plan? Or allowing the miasma to cover everything? [ Of course. Asch doesn't even feel like pushing that one. ]

There could have been some other way. [closes his eyes, sighing] If we'd had more time, maybe...

Well you didn't. You did what had to be done and you save those you could.

... [nods slightly] But that's what makes this time even more important. Fixing what went wrong, saving them for real... I mean... that's what I want to make of my life. That's the purpose I've found for myself, I guess.
