[Asch is in the kitchen yet again, this time holding a bag of ice up to his cheek and eye, face blank as he does so]

...Alright. [takes it and starts spreading the icing]

[scionofhispower]

[helps him to get it nice and smooth so that they have a very perfectly presentable cake... and even sets some dollops of icing evenly spaced along the edge to place whole strawberries on]

[looks over it when they're done] ...It looks really good.

[scionofhispower]

Of course it does.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[scionofhispower]

We made it together, after all.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...You think I'm really that good?

[scionofhispower]

Of course.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I'm glad.

[scionofhispower]

And you know what else?

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

What?

[scionofhispower]

You'll get better.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

Really?

[scionofhispower]

Yeah.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I want to be really good at everything.

[scionofhispower]

You will be, as long as you keep wanting to be.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Good. I want to be able to help people. And make sure no one ever gets hurt like me. And be a good brother.

[scionofhispower]

[smiles] Then you'll definitely be able to.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Do you think I'll really be a good brother?

[scionofhispower]

I know you will.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[scionofhispower]

Really.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...How do you be a brother?

[scionofhispower]

Mostly, you just have to be yourself and spend time together. Play games with each other once he's old enough... that kind of thing.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

...I think I can do that.
