[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.]

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

[engel]

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

[hymnotic]

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

[engel]

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

[hymnotic]

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

[engel]

...you are infuriating and not amusing.

[hymnotic]

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?

[engel]

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

[hymnotic]

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

[engel]

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

[hymnotic]

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.

[engel]

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

[hymnotic]

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

[engel]

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.

[hymnotic]

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

[engel]

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

[hymnotic]

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.

[engel]

Did he? I was not aware he had left you to take up his position as a noble of his own.

[hymnotic]

[yeah, he's gonna be a poutypants now] That's why that month was so boring...

[engel]

[ Snorts, reaching out to ruffle his hair. ] You made it boring for yourself.

[hymnotic]

It's not my fault everyone was gone...

[engel]

Was it not around then that you were permitted to leave?
