[Natalia looks around herself cautiously and adjusts her quiver strap. Only moments before she had been following behind Luke and the others as they made their way through the desert, and now they have all seemingly left her! Luke... wouldn't abandon her, would he? Certainly not after he had promised! ...Unless perhaps in his eagerness to join up with Dorian General Grants her very presence had somehow escaped his mind. However, that's not something she wishes to dwell upon for very long.]

Luke...? Luke! Just what is the meaning of this! Did you not agree to let me accompany you? I demand that you return immediately!

[No, no... this is silly; demands never work with him. Natalia takes a deep breath and starts forward. She can't prove him right about not belonging outside the castle. She must simply have gotten herself turned around; she'll catch up to them on her own. Definitely.]

Don't compare me to that idiot.

[There's certainly a redhead in the direction she's demanding at, but it's certainly not a Luke.

And he's glaring at the insult. For as she would soon learn; he considers being called "Luke" a very bad insult.] Just what's your problem Natalia? Did you confuse us for a moment and actually speak about what you really wanted? Because you're not leaving here any sooner than I am.

yay

I...! [Natalia blinks suddenly, completely caught off-guard. She was certain Luke had been there only a moment before. Now she finds herself facing down that man. The one who kidnapped Fon Master Ion. The one who bears an eerie resemblance to Luke. She hesitates, and it's only after a moment that she manages to straighten up and regain some of her dignity.]

You're Asch the Bloody, are you not? One of the Six God-Generals who serve the Order of Lorelei.

[Cautiously, because very little of that made any sense to her. Why should he be speaking to her in that way?]

What business do you have with me?

[Asch stares a moment. She's either developed amnesia, or the time thing he'd been told about. He's not pleased about this, and can't keep it to himself since she has no idea where they are. His expression drifts from angry to calm. Only she would ever get something like that.]

That's right. [a beat] I don't have any, I guess. You don't know where you are, do you?

[raisedroyal]

[It's a rather drastic change, and one Natalia can't help noticing. It's also impossible to mistake his dislike of Luke. It was clearly present back at the factory as well. Curious.]

[Curiouser still that he has no need of her. Thankfully this admission rules out the possibility of Asch being her kidnapper. Even still, she's not entirely sure she can trust him.]

Oh? That isn't how it sounded to me at all. But in answer to your question, I know that our current location isn't where I was only moments ago.

What do you know of this phenomenon? I believe you mentioned something about being unable to leave.
