[001] Rebirth

[Sure, there is always a plethora of Lukes walking about this place, but there's probably no Luke that looks as disgruntled at this one. Truth is, he's terrified of being here, in a strange place...but really, all he can express is anger] G-guy! Stop hiding! it's not funny anymore!

[The last time I posted here was more than a year ago, and memory's frail. So. Consider this a reset of both character and Mun. Hello, everyone. Name's Kie. Nice to meet ya'll. o/]

[Even with the approaching winter months, Asch still dutifully walked to the library, checking out books and taking them back to the inn where he stayed. On his way back, nose stuck in one particular text, a glint of red catches his eye, though he doesn't think much of it. Probably just the replica.

Then the child's voice reached his ears, and Asch actually looked up. ...He should walk away. A sick feeling fills every inch of him, and he can instantly remember jumping the high walls of the manor after being thrown out on the street by the guards. And then seeing the replica, coddled by his mother and the maids, kissed and fretted over when he fell...and Natalia, reaching out to him, smiling.

It was...his fault. His. This child took everything from him. Asch should have let him suffer, let him wander the streets like he did, fighting off monsters just to get home, only to be rejected and replaced. He should let him suffer.

Yet he just stands there, looks visibly conflicted, unable to look away. Asch was on the edge of a decision, and heavily, he approached the small child.]

[... Well. Mini-Luke. How... Cute. And... Ironic.

There are a lot of painful memories that swan to the surface of his mind at the sight of this tiny Replica. From both Asch and Luke. The pain Asch had felt, watching this very same child replace him, take everything Asch had worked so hard for and smash it to bits, take his identity, his family, his future and not not even know what he was doing by just existing.

And Luke remembered the pointed looks, the disdain in the servent's eyes as they looked at him, seeing only a boy who trying to run from the world by forgetting [the coward] the pain, the way they had looked at him and never seen Luke, only Asch the one they were just waiting for Luke to turn into one day, once he got his memories back, and didn't even realize they were looking at a totally different person. And how it had hurt....

Asuke quickly shook his head to stop remembering and walked over to tiny Luke.]

...

Guy! [Luke screams, looking a little panicked now] I don't want to play anymore! Come out!

[Luke ignored all of that inner struggle, worried only in finding out his caretaker, and feel some semblance of comfort. He hugged his rappig doll tightly to himself, starting to whimper as he kept calling his name]

[Inwardly, Asuke flailed a little.]

Hey... Hey, calm down.

[Asuke uses his most calming voice, hoping the kid wouldn't start screaming or something.]

[Don't look now, Luke, but another redhead is marching your way. Ignore the fact that he looks frighteningly similar to your daddy for a second, too, because Asch will stop in front of the kid, half looming over him.

What was he doing? Why was he doing it? This kid wasn't his responsibility - he shouldn't care about the dreck that took everything from him. But...perhaps because he half knew Luke wasn't entirely responsible--]

Hey. Are you lost?

[Tiny Luke! Have another tiny wandering around, clutching a littler Tokunaga to herself. She hears his bitchfit and stares a little.]

You're s'pposed to look for people in hide and seek, right? Why are you so mad?

[There's a bitty Fon Master standing a little ways behind a nearby tree. Angry Little Luke is kind of scary.]

[But a Fon Master had to be brave, right? ...right!]

Are you... looking for someone?

[Luke whips around when he hears that voice, looking quite...surprised to see another boy there. Last he remembered, he was in his manor, and there were no kids in the manor except him]

…Yeah?

I don't want to play anymore! This game is stupid! [He screams, looking half panicked. Of course, he likes playing, but he isn't too keen on the idea of his caretaker vanishing, or him ending up in a place he didn't know. Also, it's only now dawning on him that...there is something that he doesn't know talking to him, and not only that, it seems like a kid just like him.]

…

[As if he really could ignore that. You do look like dad, except...you look, like...a little more...]

[…]

[If he knew the word "Dainty", he'd use it. You don't look quite as big and scary as his father does, but he sees the similarity. If he's confused, it's only normal]

[You can't expect Luke to calm down when Guy is gone, he's in a place that he doesn't know, and to add insult to injury, now there is a strange person talking to him. Your soothing voice does nothing to calm him.]

[He answered! ...now what.]

Oh. [Blank stare. What would a Fon Master do next? They never really covered talking to other kids.] ...I'm sorry.

[Anise's thought process is something like this...]

[New kid!]

[... Noisy new kid.]

[... Noisy, bratty new kid.]

Booo, you're being loud. Games are s'pposed t'be fun.

[The baby dreck is staring at me, what is this. 8|; Asch stares right back at the tiny Luke, awkwardly, blinking twice. Finally, after a moment, he crouches down to make himself look less intimidating.]

Can you speak?

[Can you hear? ~~Are you defective?~~]

Yeah. [He says quietly. ~~No, he's not defective, alright?~~]

[Luke's thought process is:

[Oh, look. A kid]

[Oh. Look. It's...kid]

[Wait, Why is there even a ki-]

Well, this one isn't!

["Now what" was a very good question, actually. And was this kid apologizing? What for? Luke hums, not sure how to keep the conversation going]

[Oh, hey, the baby dreck can speak. Asch blinks at Luke then stands up. Why was he even doing this?! Ugh, he'd probably regret it one day... But whatever, might as well finish what he started.]

Good. Are you lost? You were calling for someone before.

[Okay, he already knows he was a bit of a brat at this age. Now, how to get him to listen at least?]

You were looking for someone, right? It's not very safe to look on your own, so do you want me to help you look?

[After all there has to be one Guy around here who would know what to do with him, and this way Asuke can keep an eye on Luke.]

[Stare, stare, stare... maybe he should offer to help? The Fon Master helps people after all! Right? ...right!]

Do you want help looking for the person you're looking for?
