Intro; away from the sun

If anyone bothers to head outside, there's a Luke leaning against a tree. He looks between being conscious and passing out though. There are small wounds scattered across his body and cuts in his clothes-- A hand twitches and if you look close enough, you can see through him to the tree at some points anyway. He breathes softly ad his eyes crack open. Even though he can't make out the images, he can feel sunlight. Isn't that a good sign?

"...Did.. Did it work?"

[ooc:^{Check out the journal for the information on this guy. Trying it out just to see where it goes. Feel free to ask questions?}]

[ Her head tilts to the side and she frowns, not at all happy that he's not taking it easy. ]

Hey, hey. Calm down, okay? We can perform all kinds of artes just fine and we're still as stable as we were back on Auldrant. I don't really get it myself, but maybe the lack of a fon belt is why we haven't disappeared.

Alright, he's calming down now. It's just a really big shock that he's being allowed to live again, even though he prepared himself for the worst. Breathing in and out, he looks over.

"O-Okay. I.. get it. Sorta." His gaze falls down.

[ Well now she's feeling pretty guilty about being so mean. The poor kid is new and lost, like she herself once was. Now trying to give him a small smile of reassurance, her hand comes up to brush the hair out of his eyes. ]

Sorry.. It's just you don't look too well. If you don't mind, can you tell me what's the last thing you remember?

That's.. actually a good question. What exactly can he remember? Moving back against the tree, he looks over to her and breathes through his nose. There was Eldrant, and Van, and Guy and...

"... Lorelei. I used the key and... I was being lowered and.. Asch.." He holds his head. After that, there's nothing he can see.

[ Dropping her hand to the ground, she gives him a slow nod and remains silent for a time, thinking. ]

...you did a good job, I'm sure. Everyone would be proud of you.

Well that's what he hopes anyway. There's a nod, and he looks around. "... So what else is there around here?" Oh, and even though he has a good idea of the other's name, he holds his hand out.

"I'm Luke."

Anything you could imagine can be found somewhere in this place. There's enough room for all of us, plenty of food, a massive library.. The works.

[ Now beaming, she takes his hand with a laugh. ] Same here.

He returns the smile. "That's amazing!" He's starting to feel better to, so he begins to stands up. Stretching his torso, he takes a look around.

"So you can do anything here?" Sounds like the general idea.

[ Pushing herself up to stand with him and dust her pants off, she gives him another nod. ] Whatever you like! I'm studying to learn how to use fonic artes myself.

Whoa, she can use fonic artes? Guy never really taught him how to use them so he usually kept those kinds of things to the others. His face widens with amazement.

"Really? What do you know?"

[ Oh dear. She only just recently took up the challenge of trying to use spells, and with having to study discreetly it's been a slow process. ..never mind the fact the book is generally far above her reading level. ]

Um, I don't.. really know how to use any yet. But I'm getting an idea of how the glyph for Energy Blast works.

"Well, I think that's still neat!" He keeps the smile on and tilts his head. Energy Blast is the one that.. Jade uses. Or that's what he can remember anyway.

"So how's that going then?" His hands are kept at his sides.

[ She bites her lip as she digs through a pants pocket, extracting an annoyingly thick book. ]

I think it's going rather well, though I bet Asch would tease me for how long it's taking to get the hang of the basics.

Oh wow. How'd she do that? He stares at the book and looks up at the mention of Asch.

"Hah.. Maybe.. Probably..?" There's a weak laugh but he straightens up again. "Well, it's not exactly like hyperresonance, right?"

Nope. That's what I'm counting on. [ Magic pants, that's how she does it. The amount of junk she totes around on her would shock most people. The laugh catches her attention and she meets his eyes, looking apologetic. ] ...I'm sorry, it just slipped out.

"Huh? N-No, it's fine, just..." How does he put it this way. His hands move in circles for a few moments and he shrugs. "I just didn't really know him that well, and then.... It's weird." Another shrug of the shoulders.

"Nothing to apologize for."

[ While part of her wants to hug him and try to give him some semblance of comfort, that would be more than a little awkward for having only met him a short time ago. She runs a hand through her hair, sighing. ]

You might not have known him that well, but he was still a part of you and it hurts to lose him. I know what it feels like.

"Ah..." In that small moment of doubt, he overlooked the fact that the other Luke had an Asch too. Looking up, he waves his hand. "I-I should be the one who's sorry now!"

"Really.. I completely disregarded your view... Sorry." He smiles, but it's small.

[ Blinking, her head leans to the side. What's he apologizing for? ]

Huh? Oh! No, it's okay! He's fine now. More mellow and still as smug as ever, but fine.

Oh he-- That's good. She has her Asch. That.. That really is good. Taking in a breath, he nods and smiles. "Oh, okay!" Watch as his attention falls to the book.

"Did you get that from the library? It's huge..." He reaches out to brush his fingers across the spine.

[ It's good to see him smiling more. She rotates the book around and holds it out for him to take if he wants. ] Yeah, and this is one of the smaller ones compared to some of the others that were there.

He's barely opened the book and already he's turning the pages. Some of the text is a bit older than what he was taught by Guy, but he can make out the main idea of each page. "This.. Wow!" He closes the door and looks at the cover.

"No wonder Guy doesn't let me try fonic artes, I might hurt someone!" There's a laugh.

[ Laughs right along with him, coming around to look over his shoulder. ] Yet he's willing to let us wield a sword! Where's the logic in that?

"That's true! We should ask him if we find him here!" This is probably the most fun he's had recently. Being stuck in a collapsed Eldrant doesn't exactly scream fun.

I know there are at least a few here; one of them is staying with us in our house. I'll try to ask him the next time I see him around. Knowing him, he wouldn't mind too much if we tried our hand at fonic artes.

Ah! [ Another thought comes to mind and she turns to point at the large building in the distance. She'd almost forgotten about that rather important detail. ] When you want to rest, you'll be able to find a room over there.

Only one person is allowed to keep her. X3

Looks like it. They can still be friends though, right?

Certainly~ She loves friends. <3

Yay~
