[ Thrilled beyond belief, I tell you. And apparently someone likes the older brother enough to roughhouse with him on a regular basis. ...that would be one way to break the midget dreck's brain; let her walk in on her brothers getting frisky. Fu fu fu. ]

Hmph. This could be a blessing in disguise. Up you go.

[ After practicing the fine art of replica handling for over a year, having a kid with perfectly justifiable fears latched onto him will be a cakewalk. Asch doesn't miss a beat in scooping the Fon Master Guardian up into his arms and adjusting his hold until she's securely resting against his chest. If he left one of Luke's friends outside he'd never hear the end of it, you know. ]

[You should be. It means you're close to the top on her hubby hunt! You know that's all kind of levels of not right. You're a horrible brother, Asch, though we already have an icon (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/98088527/23066335) picked out for the occasion. ~~Cough, go read the keywords. |D;;~~ Oh, and she'd use that to blackmail you both forever, by the way, after she hides in a hole for all of five years. You got your checkbooks handy, right~? ♥

Anise looks up at him and was about to frown a little, maybe even puff up her cheeks, but she's very suddenly, and easily, lifted up into the young man's arms, blinking. She stares up at him in confusion, but doesn't complain after a while, and just leans her head against his chest. Hm, warm... Thanks, Asch, you're not such a homicidal maniac after all, are you? Anise closes her heavy eyes and strings her fingers absently through the hair that hung down over his chest. No inhibitions when you're sleep deprived, you know.]

Mmm...

[ Somehow.. the prospect of marrying a girl more... uh.. headstrong than Natalia ~~and not to mention more devious~~ is not something we look forward to, though it's quite flattering, really. Thankfully even once we're of age, we have four years to escape. And the merciless teasing should come as no surprise. ~~BAHAHA that's so perfect. XDDb~~ You wrongly assume that such occurrences are hush hush to begin with. ♥ ]

Looking after idiots must be my punishment for holding a grudge...

[ Asch's cheeks shift color just a tad with that complaint, taking on a pinkish hue at the girl's preoccupation with his hair. Never will he understand why it is that it almost seems to attract peoples' interest. Crouching down to retrieve the pastry box he'd been carrying earlier, Asch does an about-face and starts heading back in the direction of a certain dreck's apartment; it's closer than either where he had been going or coming from. And the homicidal maniac bit is up for debate. ]

[Anise does love you Asch, but nothing more than just as a good friend and possible older sibling. She adores your money, though~ And you can never escape her, fuzzyhead. You've been tagged. Teasing she can live with, though seeing her two redheads going at it together might make her die inside. ...We're still selling them for twenty thousand gald a photo.

Anise flutters her eyes open to his voice, but only closes them again cuddles closer to him. She sleeps soundly for the most part, but every now and then the little Guardian will twitch and whine, and turn her head into Asch's clothes, mouthing things. We never said her sleep would be peaceful. She was coping with so many things already, and this just topped the cake of trauma and stress someone her age shouldn't have to endure.]

[ Thank Yulia and Rem and every other star for that. You make an excellent target for teasing without being spineless about it, and for that you have our respect. ...damn. Would we be able to get rid of you by surrendering our substantial inheritance to Kimlasca? It might be worth it. And breaking her little mind would be-- wait, selling photos? ...so screwed no matter what.

Once he's fairly certain Anise is asleep, Asch runs a hand over her head in a soothing motion. Nightmares and restless sleep is familiar territory for him. Hell, when he gives it a little more thought, they're a lot alike. Not that he'll ever admit as much out loud. Soon back to Luke's apartment, he's careful to slip inside in silence and seat them both on the chaise near the door. ]

[Fair warning she is a pro at trolling, Asch. Tease her and she'll tease right back. ...Or just nail you in the face, whichever crosses her mind first. But we're glad you actually take the time to tease~ Shows you're less of a stick-in-the-mud than we thought. And no, but we'll take the money anyway. ♥ After the initial shock, yes. The auction will be up on ebay in the same morning. Just an fyi.

The hand does wonders, and Anise calms down a little bit. She quiets a bit as well, but that doesn't stop a few tears from running down her cheeks. She really was sorry, and felt horrible for what she did. Ion and Arietta were bad enough, but her actual friends? That was too much. When they're inside and sitting, Anise shifts a little to curl up in his arms, fingers gripping his clothes tightly. What an unusual place to find comfort, but she'll take it right now.]

Mm...

[ooc; MECHANIC WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT HE DOES NOT FREQUENTLY FLY ANYWHERE THANK YOU--]

[OOC: Air Asch - We treat drecks right~ ;D ♥]

[ ooc; Engel: You'll love the way he flies. |D ]

[ He figures it fair payback for her teaming up with Jade against him, plus he has the advantage of being able to hold her at a distance. Midget dreck~ ...there won't be any auctions if we lock you up and throw away the key.

The whole comforting shing-ding isn't a job he's familiar with, so Asch is grateful the girl is asleep for the time being. Knowing their track record, he'd say the wrong thing and upset her further. Which in turn might lead to more pain for him. Not very pleasant. Asch leans back so Anise won't have to be sitting upright. With any luck, the the home's resident will return before she wakes. ]

[That was epic and will stay in her memories forever. ~~You still need to say it, you jerk.~~ ...Please, stop temping the mun to draw things, and change my username to that. That'd be just dandy. ...You realize she'd just have Tokunaga break the door down, right? THE TRUTH CANNOT BE SILENCED.

He's doing a well enough job, though, and Anise appreciates it. Especially the whole "not maiming" her thing. She shifts around, opening her eyes and rubbing at them. She glances around lazily, and recognizes the place. Wasn't this--? ...

Anise makes a soft noise and wraps her arms around Asch's shoulders, careful of his wings. She hides her face against his hair and clothes, shivering. This was the Luke she hurt's home. Was he okay? Asch obviously knew him - why else would he take her here? - so he must be really mad deep down. Anise began to shake, and increased her grip on his clothes. Guilt sets in heavily, and she bites her lip to keep from crying, but that never works. Just ignore any moisture on your clothes, Engel. She'll be fine, really.]

[ That's preferable to her telling the tale to anyone and everyone who will listen. ~~Not for all the rappigs in Malkuth.~~ Bahaha~ Miss mun knows she wants to~ And it's an awesome name! ...and he can't even take Tokunaga away; he's not that heartless.

Aw, Anise... He never meant to leave her with such a horrible impression of him that she would think he'd want her dead for actions outside her control. And as per usual, her reaction to finding them in Luke's place confuses the daylights out of him. Shouldn't she be relieved? Happy? Anise gets a ginger pat on her head. ]

Oi. What're you crying for now?

[First rule about dear_mun. You don't talk about dear_mun. 8|b ~~Psh, you're not gar enough to say it anyway.~~ No. No she doesn't. And no it isn't, get out. ...Aw, Asch, you're so sweet~ Like a venomous reptile. ♥

Well, there was that one time ~~at band camp~~ where you used Fang Blade on her after she teased you and Natalia on your cooking skills. Plus, the title doesn't help. Nor does your bad attitude and bear!face. Anise curls up against him, crying and shaking her head. Just let her have her episode, she hadn't had one in a while, and she needed to get this out of her system a little.]

[ That fourth wall is so not retractable. 8| ~~We know not what gar is, so does gay count?~~ Yes, yes~ Given in to the will of the redheads~ L-LOL. Aschzilla strikes again!

Hey, that could have been a much stronger arte you know! And he can't being who he is, which is like being a sour gummy bear forced to suck on its' own tongue all the time. Considering he doesn't know what else to do, leaving her be is about all he can think of, aside from petting her. ]

...no wonder.

[~~We're not surprised you don't know what gar is, Asch, you could never be it. Gay works, though.~~ Luckily the mun isn't willing to spend money on a namechange, and happens to like this one, so stfu. ...Oh, god, please don't ever mention that again.

Yes, we do, and are glad you love us enough not to have used a stronger one~ You're so nice, Asch! ...Sour gummy bear, that's kind of adorable.Is that why he makes that face all the time? Anise will calm down eventually. She a soldier, darn it, and not some little baby. And this is Asch for hell's sake! She can't just break down in front of him, what would he think of her? Anise sniffles, coughs - ow, my throat - and wipes her face clean of her tears. She doesn't completely let him go, still kind of petting and playing with the ends of his hair and leaning her forehead against his shoulder, but she's not sobbing anymore.

After a while, Anise will write one word onto his back with her finger. "Sorry." She does also give him a sideways glance at his words, confused. What did he mean by that?]

[ ~~You're such a cruel mistress to us.~~ P-pffff. How could you not like

aschzilla? He's so cute!

We certainly have plenty of arcane artes that would've done the trick nicely. ...either that or he swallowed a sour bug, if Jade's theory is to be believed. Anise might be a soldier yet she's herself first -- a young girl that should be back home learning the family trade or such, at least in Asch's mind. Though his opinion of her hasn't changed much. She's still more mature than certain replicas who shall remain nameless.

He squirms on the seat, trying to ignore her fascination with his hair. It reminds him of when Natalia used to try new hairstyles on him... As for what his previous statement was referring to, Asch isn't about to say. ]

Stop apologizing. It doesn't change anything and is a waste of time.

[~~Because you're one of our favorite Asches ever. ♥~~ Lord, I didn't know whether to laugh, headdesk, or cry when I saw that account. No lie.

Meanie. See if you ever get any cake from her again - maybe an egg thrown at your face when she feels better - boo. Maybe both!! He is such an unlucky fellow, after all. What...family trade? Oh, you mean being poor as dirt, living in the slums, and begging for gald on the streets? And don't forget chasing off the people who abuse her mama and papa for not paying them back. Yes, that seems a very wonderful family trade to take over indeed. Anise learned her fonic artes for a reason.

When she feels better, she may ask if she can at least braid it. The fascination is not unwarranted, it's pretty. And well taken care of~ Oh, you sneaky, sneaky cockatiel, you. Anise will just pout and pull back to look at his face finally. She sighs, then prods his chest once, writing on it a second after. "Thanks." And a heart, of course. This is Anise.]

[ ~~//// Keep complimenting Engel and he'll have to go into hiding until his face returns to its normal color.~~ How about all of the above?

He can make his own cake, thanks, and if she's lucky he might even present her with some of his own brand of baked goods. ...speaking of which, he reaches over to pull the box he'd been carrying closer. What could be there~? And Asch, while familiar with Arietta's history, doesn't know much about Anise. They'll have to sit and talk sometime instead of trading insults.

Braiding without frilly bows would be acceptable. It might even earn Anise a secret about her feathered brother. Hee. The poke makes him jump a little and stare owlishly at the writing before he catches the message. ]

...welcome.

[~~He might get lost in his hair if he does that.~~ That's about right, yes.

You cannot beat Anise's culinary skills, Fea--wait what? Gift? Baked goods~?! She's also pretty darn hungry, pastries would be awesome right about now. Anise glances at the box curiously, pointing at it. What's in there, huh? Maybe one day they will, though good luck. Anise isn't very open about telling people how miserably poor she was before becoming a Fon Master Guardian. Though knowing a little of Asch's history...she might indulge him. Maybe.

But frilly bows are awesome! ...Fine, maybe a dark blue one or green - to match those pretty eyes. Oh? Is it something ~~else~~ she can blackmail you with, dearest brother? Anise blinks when her jumps, and snickers then leans against him again. You really are a nice guy deep down, Asch. She's still eying that box, though, and her stomach gives a loud growl as if on cue. Anise puts both her hands over it, looking sheepish.]

[ ~~Who knew Asches were self-camouflaging?~~ Glad you approve. ♥

If by 'culinary skills' you mean having a strange penchant for tossing strawberries and beef into everything, then yes, there's no way he can possibly top that. And do not doubt our methodology, Miss Strawberry Shortshit.

...it'd have to be a more masculine bow, okay? Nothing with lace. Nice and sleek and elegant. And no, it's not blackmail material. Too much so anyways. Besides that, Asch offers her first pickings from the box containing various types of muffins and cookies and such. Strawberry shortcake included. ]

This will have to do until the replica gets back.

[~~Now if only Luke could learn that, he'd be so much more efficient in battle.~~ /cough

She does not put beef and strawberries into everything, boo. Anise has been cooking a lot and is always refining her skills, you know. It's still the best way to catch a husband. Maybe she'll cook you up some chicken on day if you ask nicely~ ...Oh. Oh, you are getting an egg thrown at you when I have her cooking next time. D<

Oh, don't worry, Asch. Anise would never do anything to hurt your noble pride and masculinity. ♥ Hm, well, we'll see how it plays out, Anise would at least like to learn more about the sourpuss, ~~and so would I. |Da~~ and it'd be a perfect opportunity for them to do some quality bonding that doesn't involve screaming, yelling, swords, and throwing eggs and other various food products. For now, though, Anise will stare inside the box with her mouth gaping open. My god, those looked so good. Did you make all those, Asch?! She stares up at him with that questioning look, then reaches for the shortcake, plucking it up delicately and beginning to eat.

Holy shit. This was awesome. Anise hums and a large happy smile spreads on her face as her stomach cries tears of joy. She polishes the cake off rather fast, and gives Asch a lighter hug and rubs her face against his chest. Marry me~]

Mmmh~! ♥

[ ~~The dreck, efficient in battle? You really did hit your head hard.~~

So close to damn near every dish that she might as well be garnishing the miso soup with it. Asch could argue that point on husband-catching, but he doesn't want to get hit. ...save the time and just hit him with the cooked chicken? |D

Good damn thing ~~because when either one goes out the window is when he turns celibate and you lose him for husband material~~. We wish you the best of luck prying information out of Engel, Anise. He's hardly told Mechanic much of anything and you-- well, you don't know about them yet but perhaps you will soon. Fufu~ B) Try not to drool on him, please. Asch answers the look with a nod and shake of the box, encouraging her to choose a treat.

Heh. It makes him happy to know that all the time he spent in the Dark Wings' company didn't go to waste. Though their sense of fashion was lacking... And hey, don't go getting frisky now, kiddo. ... Uh, no can do! He's not of age yet! ]

If you need a napkin, all you have to do is ask.

[~~I do recall he beat you at least once, you know...~~

Well, we're sorry your tastes are the same as hers, Asch. She likes what she likes, but does follow all recipes as they need be and does pretty damn well at whatever she's making. She'd hit you anyway. ...The mental image of that was hilarious. |Da

~~NO, NOT MY FREE PORN!! ...I-I mean, husband. Yes, husband.~~ The same can be said about you, Asch. Anise hasn't told anyone out right how she used to live, not even Jade. That's perhaps a secret she'll carry to the grave, unless she trusts you not to look down on her. Oh, sounds fun~ We look forward to learning more about you, Engel, dear. Anise pulls back and puffs up her cheeks like a fish - poke them, and she'll get so mad at you... Can you just hear the "boo!" in that look? You truly are blessed with a silent Anise for a little while, Asch, get used to the sweet, blissful quiet.]

...!

[ ~~...that was nothing but a fluke.~~

Hey now, we never said anything about the food she makes not being delicious and well prepared. Only that her love of a certain fruit and meat is quite outlandish. ...you know you want to see them get into a food fight. |Db

~~After all the action he's gotten in the past year, Engel might shrivel up and die from sudden withdrawal. The physical affection is something he never had much of.~~ ...why can I just see them playing poker or such to weasel information out of one another, possibly with Jade trumping them both? Though Asch wouldn't think ill of her for coming from a lower class family. It's that kind of divide he had hoped to put an end to as ruler of Kimlasca.

Just this once he'll resist the urge to prod those puffer cheeks, not that it'll stop him from floofing her bangs. ]

So feisty for one who looks like something the liger dragged in.

[~~No, just lots of Free Running.~~

Kinda like you and your replica's taste for poultry? Yes, Anise knows about that, and plans to use it on occasion for favors. And it will happen. It's too epic not to happen.

~~Engel, you nympho. ...Baww, you had to go there, jerk. ;__; Anise will be sure to give him cuddles from now on. More than she already does, shush.~~ Does even know how to play Poker? Anise sure as hell doesn't, but she's a brat and would likely cheat. Jade would whoop them both, still, yes. You'd make a really good ruler, Asch, if things hadn't ended so badly. You are a good person under all that grumpiness.

Smart boy, she would have bitten you. The floof of her bangs, however, makes her whine and duck out from under him, glaring and sticking out her tongue. She then reaches forward with two fingers and gives his forehead a good flick. With your bangs pushed back like that, it's almost inviting her to.]

...~♥

[Oh, and she'll be leaping out of his reach after that, of course.]

...you can have one of the non-feathered ones. <<;

I'm not picky. |Db

That works. I have plenty to spare. |Db

You hoarder. :\

Yet this is the only one that gets any mileage. :|a

Mechanic must get a lot of frequent flyer miles for riding him so much, oho. |D~
