[Sitting off on a large rock somewhere near his home is... an apparently reclusive Asch. He looks pretty quiet and content, maybe even - surprisingly - serene, just sitting there with his eyes closed.

...

Well.

We can't have that, now, can we?]

It clears the mind, gives you a better focus for the things around you.

I can focus just fine on my own.

There is always room for improvement.

I don't need to improve.

That sounds familiar...

...Whatever. I still don't have to.

You should go teach your son how to instead.

I never said that you have to. Just suggested. And if it's something that he'd like to learn, I always have time to teach him.

...Even if he doesn't want to learn, you need to teach him anyway. That way he can actually protect himself.

...

...And I doubt he would mind spending time with you, anyway.

...

[reaches over and places a hand on his head] Something tells me you wouldn't mind that much, either.

[Asch jerks away, eyes wide.]

Don't touch me!

...Asch...

...Just don't touch me... Anything else is alright.

...

Sit down. Talk to me.

...Okay. [He quickly sits, not looking at Asch.]

...Did you want to talk about what happened? Or, about something else?

...I don't care. Whatever you want.

Right now, let's just focus on whichever would make you most comfortable.

...I really don't have a preference. I'll do whatever you want.

That's not how this works.

...Then how does it work...?

I'm not going to push you, kid.

It's not pushing me. I talked to Luke already. I really just don't care what we talk about.

...

What happened?
