[This wasn't right, not at all. Asch had never actually been to the Radiation Gate before this, but he was pretty damn sure it wasn't supposed to look like this. Instead of the ancient structure he had been expecting, he now saw... a strange, large building, with a small village surrounding it. It didn't look like anything he had ever seen on Auldrant, but there was no other explanation for it. The Albiore was nowhere to be seen, though; there's no way it could have been flown away so quickly, and Asch knew (hoped) that he wouldn't be left alone like that...

And so he set off, investigating this strange new location, looking even angrier than usual. He would very much like to get out of here, or at least get an explanation, so any help would be greatly appreciated.]

(ooc; just to warn you, this asch is au, but that's all i'll say about that for now. also, this is my first time playing a canon-ish asch, so let me know how i'm doing!)

[It's good that he doesn't know she's thinking about him being adorable, as he wouldn't appreciate it at all. As it is he just watches as he's handed the baby, attempting to do all that she says perfectly. He stays silent as he just looks down at Aidan.]

[ There aren't very many Asches that would appreciate being thought of as cute or some other similar term, which is why she rarely mentions the thought. Hooking both thumb into her pants pockets, she beams at him, proud of how well he's doing. ]

See? He's comfortable with you.

He probably thinks I'm his father. [He smiles at him, though, happy that the baby doesn't seem to mind him.]

I dunno... You two might look alike, but I think there's a big difference in how you hold yourselves.

...He can't recognize me as his brother, though. I'm too different from how I was then... He must just be used to seeing lots of Asches around. [Runs his finger lightly over Aidan's cheek; this is really the first time he's seen a baby, so the whole experience is new to him.]

Then that's something he'll have to learn. It won't be good if he can't even pick out his own brother in a crowd. [ She eases herself down to sit on the floor with her arms and chin resting on the edge of the chair to watch them both. ]

You're still a good brother.

[Hearing her say that surprises him and he looks up at her, confused.]

...I'm a good brother? You really think that?

The best anyone could ask for. I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it was true.

You might want to wait until I've been here a bit longer before you say something like that... You don't want to be disappointed. [He goes back to fussing with the baby, stroking his hair.]

Unless you plan on intentionally being a dweeb around him, I don't think I will be disappointed. [ Sorry, Asch, but she can't help petting your hair too. ]

How did you know that's what I was planning to do? [He leans into the touch, laughing quietly. He actually doesn't mind his hair being played with, so he doesn't have any objections to her doing that as long as she likes.]

Oh, just a guess based on how certain other individuals I know behave. [ That actually surprises her a little, though it's not unwelcome to have the chance to mother him in some manner. ]

Let me guess- all of them are Asches. [He's pretty relaxed now, just letting himself enjoy this.]

That's right. You all have similar traits when it comes to being devious.

I'd certainly hope so, since even you replicas share lots of those traits.

Who? Us innocent little Lukes? You must be mistaking us for some cranky originals.

You're the worst of them all. My replica might have been pathetically annoying, but he wasn't anywhere near as devious as you.

Don't I know it. That would be because my Asch is the biggest bastard I've ever met.

He can't be. He was too nice for that...

That's what makes him a wonderful father. You don't get to see him when he isn't nice.

...I would have still liked him just as much. [He blushes even more and distracts himself by playing with the baby again.]

[ She blinks at the obvious tint to his face. What's he so embarrassed about? ] There's no reason for you not to. He'd never be rough with children.

I know that! It's just weird, that's all... I guess I'll just have to meet him all over again.

Come to think of it, I think the only person he's ever been rough with is me... But yeah, you can't very well go without knowing your own father.

...That's going to be weird to get used to, too.
