[It's not all that unusual to see Asch walking around alone, mostly avoiding people. It is, however, probably unusual to see him walking around without his standard >\ expression, not to mention a red and gold jacket.

It's probably also unusual to see him looking over his shoulder so often almost like he's trying to make sure something isn't there.

Peculiar much?]

Hm? Finish your question.

[choushindou]

[slowly covers his mouth, looking down] Why did you... do that...?

[obsidianmotion]

The reason is simple: because I wanted to. [ Pry too much, Luke and you might incur his wrath. ]

[choushindou]

Oh... [frowns, looking away] I just... I never understand when... people do that to me...

[obsidianmotion]

...some use it as a way to show affection.

[choushindou]

[nods slightly] Not sure if it really felt like that...

[obsidianmotion]

[ Smirks, trailing a hand over Luke's exposed stomach. ] It wasn't intended to.

[choushindou]

[shakes his head] I meant, with them...

[obsidianmotion]

[ Interesting. ] With who?

[choushindou]

It was... well, they were both Asch...

[obsidianmotion]

Ah, another replica who is at the beck and call of originals.

[choushindou]

[blinks] Wh-what...?

[obsidianmotion]

If it was not affection you felt for them or they for you, then they must be using you. [ Putting doubts into his head? Who, Asch? Never~ ]

[choushindou]

...

[obsidianmotion]

Isn't that why he left you alive?

[choushindou]

Asch never did anything like that to me.

[obsidianmotion]

[ Sigh. ] To use you, replica.

[choushindou]

[seems to honestly consider this for a few moments] I... I guess. But, that's different...

[obsidianmotion]

...I'm not even certain as to why we're discussing this. With a replica, no less.

[choushindou]

I'm just trying to understand... there's so many things that I really don't know, and... and, how can I be any help to him at all if I'm like that?

[obsidianmotion]

If you were to clarify on what you are attempting to understand, finding the answer would be easier.

[choushindou]

[damnit, there's his creepy smile again] Just anything. They never bothered to really enforce my learning. Guess they didn't see a point, since I was just supposed to be shipped off to die, anyway.

[obsidianmotion]

[ That fatalistic attitude of his is damn annoying. Or perhaps it has to do with his smile. ] And Luke fon Fabre did die, according you. That alone should have taught you a good deal.

[choushindou]

Not enough. I barely know anything about the world... just pieces. I'm still a burden, like this.

But, I guess, if there's one thing I really wanted to know the answer to... it's something that even Asch wouldn't be able to tell me. We'd have to ask Fath-... we'd have to ask Duke Fabre. He's the only one with that answer...

[obsidianmotion]

Learning about Auldrant is simple business with so many who can teach you here. If you don't wish to be a burden, you should start learning things that will be of help to your original.

...what is this one thing you desire to know so badly?
