[ Remaining idle has never been one of Asch's strong points at any time in his life, so it should come as no surprise that he would find a way to spend his spare time doing something productive. As of late you might have seen the winged original bustling about hither and tither, to and fro, and even yonder as he transported -- among other things -- a great many boxes, several types of food, and a boatload of furniture. All this was being taken in the direction of a city located near the ocean's shoreline, to an outdoor cafe that would give a hole in the wall a bad name.

Only one small (if tasty-smelling) box remains to be taken from the apartments to said cafe. You're free to catch him anywhere along the way, with his hair neatly braided and sporting a spotless, ruffle-free apron. Mock at your own risk, drecks. ]

[ Plucks the writing implement out of his hand upon spotting it and sets right to jotting down various notes in a fluid, if hasty, scrawl. ] Without them to act as a binding material it could theoretically be possible...

[Looks from Asch to the notepad and back a few times, eventually folding and laying on his stomach, closing his eyes over.]

[ Continues writing for another minute or so, then abruptly runs a finger over one of Luke's injuries, noting the reaction on paper. ] Responds to outside stimulus...

[Flinches and is very suddenly awake and a few inches away, puffed and not even entirely conscious, it seems.] ... [After a few seconds he relaxes and sits with a somewhat hangdog expresison.] You're picking on me, I swear.

[ Hardly seems to notice the replica scurrying away from his touch, what with him flipping between pages. Both eyebrows quirk up several beats after Luke's statement, though it could've been coincidence, as his response comes even further after that in a faraway sort of tone. ] ...why would I pick on you?

[Grumbles and lays on his stomach again, though staying far enough away from Asch to be out of reach.]

[ Pauses in his work to glance over, tapping pen against paper. ] ...that can't be comfortable. Are you not able to sleep on your backside since those injuries appeared?

[Mumbles at the floor.] I usually sleep on my side or my stomach anyway, but I can if they're not acting up or being agitated by prodding fingers.

[ Scoots over to sit beside him again and pet lower on his back. ] Then try not to let people touch them.

[Smacks his head against the floor a little.] I was, you were the one that kept poking at them.

I only did so once, you know. [ Sets the paper and pen aside, drawing Luke up into his lap for a kiss. ]

[Grumbles, but allows this.] Twice.

Don't exaggerate. [ Returns to burying his face against him. ]

'm not. [Frowns.]

You are so. [ Not that he sounds bothered by it. ]

You were just too busy taking notes on me. [Grunts a little, moving to get up.] ...need painkillers.

I wasn't taking notes on you. Just your new addition. [ Offers him a hand for support and moves to follow. ] I have gels.

Which are unfortunately a part of me, so you were taking notes on-- [Fumbles and crashes back to his knees with a startled cry. His back sort of pulsates ominously at the sudden shift, but the wings stay put. This just results in Luke doubling over in pain.] Things are fucking hypersensitive.

That doesn't mean I'm treating you li-- Luke--! [ Grabs onto his upper arm tightly in a failed rescue attempt, ending up back down on the ground beside him. ] To what, though? The manner in which they react doesn't seem to be consistent...

My heart rate, it feels like. If I fall or I move away from something too fast, they... pulse the way they like to. That once, when I fell from the roof... They kind of tore their way out of my skin. [Laughs dryly.] Given how jumpy I am, you can see why this is an issue.

[ Stares, then thunks his head against a shoulder. ] Just bloody wonderful. You would get a pair that is in tune with the one part of you that is more busy than your mouth. So the obvious solution is to not allow you to get worked up.

Hell of a lot easier said than done. I'm in a constant state of neurotic; you know that. I've just gotten better at containing it.

[ Pushes his cheek in, then pulls it out, leaving Luke looking hilariously silly. ] Perhaps you ought to reconsider my offer of keeping you in a nice, quiet room away from that which you fear.

Ah-- hey-- Ow! [Makes a face which just makes the cheek-pulling even sillier.] I hhollrr you, I rike hhy hhorrihhurre hhonnghhirres. [...translation; "I told you, I like my solitude sometimes".]

[ Okay, he can't help snorting thanks to the combined expression. ] Then you can have your own private room. Preferably with a padlock. [ Latches onto the other cheek, grinning. This is fun. ]
