[ From one of the many hallways comes the sound of a hollow object smacking into something. Repeatedly. Turns out Asch is strolling along, bouncing a ping pong ball off his forehead, of all things, looking more than a little agitated with something or someone. ]

[ NSFW! ]

Comments

[engel]

You're worth a lot to them and to me.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Thank you...

[engel]

[ Tips her head up, pressing his lips to her forehead. ]

You're much more tolerable when you aren't crying..

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I know... I hate crying like this.

[engel]

[ Chuckles against her skin. ]

Don't you start keeping your emotions in.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I might start if this doesn't stop.

[engel]

You do that and I'm going to sit you both down and have a nice, long chat.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Both?

[engel]

[ Nods. ] You and the other Luke.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Which one?

[engel]

...short-haired, has been to Earth but came from Auldrant, looks like he's been through the wringer too many times.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Oh! I know who you mean!

[engel]

[ Nods. ] I meant to tell you sooner that he is staying with us now.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

He is? Oh, good.

[engel]

...you don't mind?

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

No, I'm kind of glad he's got a place to stay. I like having him around.

[engel]

[ His lips quirk up into a smile. ] Good. Like you, he needs someone to keep an eye on him.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I can take care of myself.

[engel]

That doesn't mean you can't benefit from having a babysitter.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Are you that babysitter?

[engel]

It seems we all babysit each other.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true. I try to take care of people if I can.

[engel]

I'm well aware of that. You have a habit of rubbing off on those around you.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I do...?

[engel]

Do you think I managed to change on my own after seven years of hating you?
