[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.]

You can't save a damn thing if you're not willing to also see yourself through to the end. No matter the outcome.

...

[frowns] Hm. I probably shouldn't have said that before, though...

I will find a way to ensure she survives. It's her life that matters most now.

..no, you probably should not have.

[eyes him] I mean about what I found. About... well, I guess it'd be "the future" from your standpoint. Things like that.. telling that never turns out well.

Does that really make any difference if none of us are able to return to Auldrant? What if she had died from you not mentioning what you know? I can scarcely believe you could live with that.

Hm.

[takes something from his pocket, closing his eyes while clenching his hand around it; after a bit, it begins to glow, and he tosses it in Asch's direction] Her fonon levels are low, right? It's not much, but that might give some extra time.

[ Catches it with a nod in his direction, rolling it in his palm before turning it over and looking. ] I will take every extra second I can get. Should the need arise, I have a couple of ideas to keep her from disappearing.

... [nods slightly]

...thanks for your help.

[shakes his head, smiling slightly] Don't thank me.

[ Scoffs to himself. ] There is no reason for me not to.

[shakes his head] There's no reason to.

[ Crosses his arms and glares. ] Shut up and accept my thanks, you idiot replica.

Sorry, there's no one named "you stupid replica" here.

...you are infuriating and not amusing.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Would you prefer if I acted a bit more like you, then? Too serious for my own good with a permanent scowl?

I've already proven that my scowl isn't permanent, dreck. And yes, you could stand to take things more seriously.

I'm serious enough when I need to be. There's no reason to be like that all the time, though.

Hmph. I have never understood your casual attitude towards everything.

It's better than thinking the worst's going to happen. I mean, I used to think that... but, I guess you could say Guy knocked some sense back into me back then.

Someone had to do it. It might as well have been your servant and babysitter.

Best. Friend. Not a servant or a babysitter. And it's too bad he didn't punch you in the face...

Your best friend was your servant. There is no getting around that fact. Had he tried to punch me, he would not have lived very long.

He's not my servant. [Luke will not budge on this point.]

[ And neither will Asch. ] Last I heard, Guy Cecil was a servant to house Fabre. More specifically, to you.

Last I checked, the truth about him all came out way before we even lowered the land, and after we did that, he started living in Grand Chokmah again.
