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?}]

Notice how he's leaning back and lowering his head in an attempt to stifle his laughter. Since it's going not so well he offers a smile and shrugs his shoulder. "I probably wouldn't know what to do if it was me, everything work out though?"

[ She's laughing right along with him, leg kicking against her seat in an attempt to redirect her amusement. ] You probably would've stood there gawking at the people who stopped to gawk at you. Oh yeah, gave everyone including Asch an eyeful.

His face drops at the mention of the last part and he's red. Still laughing though at the image of how Asch would react that that. "Geeze, that's.. wow!"

No kidding! He's such a tease. [ It kind of dawns on her that's one embarrassing memory to recall around another version of herself, who'd she only just met, and she buries her face into her arms with a bark of laughter. ]

Luke only nods- he doesn't know this one's Asch so he really can't say for himself. He'll just take her word for it and smile, waiting for her laughter to stop. His legs swing back and forth for a few moments then looks up.

[ It took her a good minute or so to get herself under control, but once she does she straightens up and fidgets, smoothing her coat subconsciously. ] L-let's see... Is there anything else you'd like to know about?

"Um... Your world? I know it sounds silly but since everything and everyone is different from I know, I'd like to see what's the same-- I think it'd be neat." A hand goes behind his head.

It doesn't sound silly to me. It makes a lot of sense, really. I don't know when you're from, but on my Auldrant Lorelei has been freed, so fonic artes have gotten weaker over the years.

He nods, leaning forward. "Well, like I said, I just released Lorelei. I think." The hand stays.

[ Nods, resting her head in a hand. ] That's right, you did. From what we heard, everyone is doing just fine. Guy's gone back to Grand Chokmah but travels around with Natalia sometimes, doing a great job at helping the rest of the replicas be accepted.

He nods. That sounds definitely like something Guy would do. Either that or the latter. Which..

"I think the Guy in my world would run errands for the emperor mostly-- I'm not quite sure since I haven't... seen anyone yet." He tilts his head.

Guy probably is Peony's errand boy mostly, but that's the gist of the news we heard from when Asch was going from place to place. I never actually... [ Trails off as she runs a hand through her hair, her gaze falling to the floor. ]

Huh? She stopped. Tilting his head, the fingers move from his thighs to his knees, holding onto the fabric. "... Yeah?"

...I never saw them after Eldrant. We didn't go home before ending up here. [ That's the part that always stings and weighs on her conscience; she couldn't keep her promise. ]

... Oh. Well, at least that's what one thing he can relate to. Somehow. "I.. I don't even think I released Lorelei. I told you-- the last thing I remember was falling down after turning the key..." It was either because Eldrant was already collapsing, or.. He was going to see Lorelei. Then it hits him.

What if it didn't work for his world? Keeping his fear down his throat, he shakes his head. "Don't.. Don't worry-- this world can't keep you here forever."

[ Gives him a slightly forced smile. It would be genuine if it weren't for the subject they're discussing. ] If you turned the Key, then Lorelei should have been freed. You shouldn't worry. He couldn't still be trapped with Van being dead.

...I don't know if I want to go back to Auldrant. [ Her grip on the couch tightens for a moment before pulling herself to her feet and stretching a few different ways. ]

"You like it here more?" Staring now. He's trying to get his mind off the subject.

In some ways I do and in others I don't. This place gives us almost everything we need. It's fairly safe. And while I miss everyone, I don't think I can bring myself to see them again. [ Shoves her hands into her pockets as she paces around the room. ]

He doesn't want or mean to pry, but unfortunately when curiosity gets this one, it does. He fidgets for a few moments, wondering whether it'd be okay to ask or not. He stretches his own legs as she paces, then slumps.

[ On her next pass by him she notices him slouching and stops by his seat. Running her mouth again. No wonder she comes off as annoying. ] Sorry, I get carried away sometimes. That's one thing I haven't been able to learn.

"N-No, it's not that..." A shake of the head and he breathes in, softly. "I just... Why can't you face them again?" He looks to the side, unknowing his mouth has decided to speak for him again.

He looks up. "Guy... Was able to face me, even after everything he did. He took care of me.. and.. when.. I did really stupid things, he still thought he did worse, but.. because he was there, I was able to face everyone I thought was... against me." He smiles, a hand going to the top of his head.

"I mean-- Even if things happen and people change.. Why wouldn't you be able to face your friends again?" He talks too much when he gets started; don't let him continue.

...I haven't seen anyone I know from my world besides Asch in over four years. [ Explaining her fear is always the hard part about meeting people. She turns with her back to him, leaning against his chair. ]

The last time my friends saw me, I was seventeen and a guy. But that Luke died at Eldrant. I'm not the same person anymore. [ Her gaze drops to her hands where she's playing with something on the left one. ] A lot has happened in that time, people here are counting on me. Not to mention I don't know if they'll accept the choices we made since then. Father especially...

[ Makes her way towards the stairs leading upward, gesturing with a hand for him to follow. ]

He gets up and starts to follow, tilting his head. "... But..." He tries to think of something to say, something to comfort her or.. convince her otherwise. Maybe something.

"But... That shouldn't matter. Girl, guy-- even if that's true that shouldn't matter! You're still Luke Fon Fabre. And.. though I can't relate.." Hands fall to his sides and he takes in a breath.

"Is... it that important to you if they accept or not? Didn't you make these choices because you wanted to?"

You can probably understand a lot more than most. They'll be expecting the person they knew. I'm not that person...! I'm more than a defective replica than I was then. [ Stops at the top of the stairs and shakes her head, voice dropping as she waits for him to catch up. ] On most of them, yes, I did. But I.. I don't want to hurt mother, or any of them.

As she stops he's caught in the middle of the stairs, looking up at her. Taking a few more steps up he stays a few below her level and listens. "Why would you want to hurt your mom?" Notice he refers to hers only-- he didn't know Susanne long enough.

"Of course you don't mean to hurt people, but it.. sometimes you do... It's not your fault though." He looks down to his feet. "And the damage's not permanent." At least in her world.

He walks past her and glances through the hall. ".. There's.. a lot of rooms."
