[ It appears someone has set up some training dummies on a certain couple's lawn. Who would do a thing like that? Why, Asch would, that's who. It would appear his intentions are to get some training in; far be it from him to let his fighting skills get rusty.

This means he is in plain sight of anyone who happens to have come out this way. Just be careful about sneaking up on him or anything like that. Why? Because apparently Asch doesn't practice with wooden swords; he's using a recently sharpened blade.

This said, he probably won't actually stab anyone even if they don't announce their presence. But he might come close to it.

Hey, it's not his fault he's not expecting any visitors. ]

[ He's Luke and Anise's princess, too, because they're the ones who have to go save him. ]

Oh, I know you can. But that doesn't mean I want you to.

[fononfailure]

[ Ion: Auldrant's sugar-sweet princess that is always in another castle. ]

Bu-- Why not?! [ If Luke wasn't flustered before, Asch's little comment made certain she was now. ]

[scionofhispower]

You look good like this. [ He grins before ducking his head down to steal a quick kiss. ] Besides, I like having you in my arms, remember?

[fononfailure]

[ Flailing about while his hand is injured doesn't seem like the wisest idea, so instead she presses the side of her face against his chest. ] Next time you claim to be unromantic, I'm throwing those words back at you. Kinda wish I could carry you sometimes, though.

[scionofhispower]

Tch. It's because you look so helpless in my arms, replica.

[fononfailure]

...that just makes it sound more like you have dreams of being my knight in shining armor.

[scionofhispower]

No, it just means I like seeing you squirm.

[fononfailure]

... Why am I not surprised. [ She crosses both arms over her front with a slight wince and huffs at him. ] What are you going to do when I get used to your teasing and stop being a source of entertainment?

[scionofhispower]

I'll find a new way to tease you, of course.

[fononfailure]

Good luck with that. From here on out, I'm not going to let anything you say bother me!

[scionofhispower]

I doubt that, princess.

[fononfailure]

Wh-- Who're you calling princess?! [ ...yeah, that was short-lived. ]

[scionofhispower]

Hmm, I wonder. Who's the magnet for trouble here...

[fononfailure]

Do I look like a damn princess to you? Besides, lately the only trouble that's been around me has been named "Asch".

[scionofhispower]

I could leave again if my presence is such a problem for you.

[fononfailure]

--No! All I meant is that we... well, you tease me, I get upset. I missed it... And you.

[scionofhispower]

Hmmm.

[fononfailure]

Really. I hardly ever left the house once you'd gone.

[scionofhispower]

Hmm. [ Well, he gets her inside and sets her down on the couch before going to look for some supplies to treat and bandage her wound. ]

[fononfailure]

[ Someone is more dependent on their original than she realizes or would like to admit. In the meantime she tugs up her bloodied shirt to get a better assessment on the cut other than, "damn that stings". ]

[scionofhispower]

[ Asch comes back in, watching her for a few moments before coming to kneel beside the couch. ] Stop that.

[fononfailure]

It's not that bad. My clothes are probably in worse shape. [ She tilts her head a little at him being on the floor, then reaches for a bandage. ]

[scionofhispower]

[ He stops her before shifting just a bit closer so he can treat it for her. ]

[fononfailure]

...you better not feel bad about this, Asch.

[scionofhispower]

I don't. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let it get infected. [ He may or may not be insulting your ability to dress your own wounds, Luke. ]
