[ 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. ]

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

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?

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

That means a lot to me.

[engel]

[ Returns the smile, discreetly taking her hand. ]

Every word is true.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what I did.

[engel]

You were yourself and you showed me that a replica isn't someone, or something, to be despised.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I could do that...

[engel]

You're capable of doing much more than you give yourself credit for.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Hearing that from you really makes me believe it.

[engel]

Then I'll be sure to remind you of it when you start degrading yourself.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I'll work on not doing that so often. I promise.

[engel]

I'd appreciate it. There's only so many times I can say the same thing before getting annoyed.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I'm on it.

[engel]

Heh. Good. Being angry at you takes up energy that could be better spent in other ways.

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[engel]

Indeed. [ Smiiiiirk. ]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh.

[engel]

I don't know about you, but I prefer not wasting my energies on fighting senseless battles. We know I would win anyway.
