[Having been here for more than a month is starting to take a toll on Asch. Normally he has no problem staying calm and collected, provided that no one actually touches him or gets too close. But going this long without any real direction or anything to keep him grounded has proven difficult, and tonight is no exception. By this point he has gotten used to his dreams; although they aren't usually happy ones, he has no trouble distancing himself from the memories they so cruelly show off. Tonight, though, he has had an incredibly difficult time with it.

Which explains why, despite the fact that it's the middle of the night, he can be seen quietly leaving

fononfailure and

scionofhispower's house, to go on a walk. He is very obviously distracted, yet at the same time he's very jumpy. As he's currently looking for some sort of distraction, he has no issues with talking to just about anyone who can keep him occupied.]

...You seem like him. Acting friendly and casual but not letting anyone know what's actually on your mind. [He reaches out to take a blueberry after a moment.]

[At this, he's a bit surprised.]

... Really... [He glanced away from the other, trying not to smile. To himself:] ... This place really is incredible...

[He gives him a few of the blueberries. He has plenty, after all.]

Unless you think that description is wrong. It seems pretty accurate for all the Jades I've met, though, including the one on my version of Auldrant.

I'm sure it is. Well, except for the part about "acting." I am friendly and casual.

[Mm, just a few more blueberries... These were fresh, too.]

...Right. You're also old and frail, though, if I believe everything you say.

[And he coughs, though it seems faked.] Right you are... Ah, my sciatica's acting up again... [He holds his hip as if in pain.]

...You'd better not expect me to believe that.

Would you be so kind as to carry me back to the inn...? I don't think I can walk in my condition...

I doubt I could, even if I wanted to. You're heavy.

Oh, not so heavy that it would be a problem for you, surely.

... But if you insist. [He stands up quite easily. This coming from the man who can push and pull crates with one hand...]

Heavy enough that I don't want to try.

...Are you going back?

[He glanced down to the other before turning around, smile creeping up on his face.] ... Do you not want me to go...?

...I don't want to be alone. [He looks away, fidgeting with his hands.]

[... It appeared a Luke was still a Luke. He moved to sit back next to him.]

Is there anything on your mind that you would like to talk about...? [He was in an oddly good mood to be consoling Asch.]

...Most of the things I need to talk about aren't anything I want others to hear. None of them are good.

Well, now... I suspect that if they were good, you wouldn't be wandering around in the middle of the night, unable to sleep.

[He sighed.] I'm not one to pry, however. [And so he just opts for being silent.]

...I don't need to talk about my dreams. I've dealt with them fine for the last seven years.

This last month has been hard, that's all.

[He figured it was nightmares. Though curiosity was killing him, he'd prefer not to ask.]

Hm...? This place seems rather peaceful. How could it be "hard?"

...Guy isn't here. He keeps me sane.

[Now he's wondering just how different this Asch's experiences are...]

Guy, mm? Well, that answers two of my questions...

...What questions are those?

If Guy was indeed here, and if you were a completely different Asch than the one I know.

Your Guy might be here, though. I know I've seen some before.

...There aren't many Asches like me. I seem to surprise most people.

I doubt that, but...

... Mm. I can say the same. I seem to shock most people.

You seem normal to me. As normal as any Jade, at least.
