ADR's Grand Opening Mingle Post!

[solerika]

Welcome, inhabitants and visitors! Whether you are familiar with this land or just getting acquainted, your friendly neighborhood nexus might give off the impression of having shifted recently. Fallen limbs here, a few tipped chairs there. Nothing to worry about!

And why should you fret when there's a party going on? The sudden appearance of streamers and balloons and buffet tables loaded down with delectable goodies might be a touch disconcerting for some, but there they are! Just waiting for you to dig in and have a good time! There can't be any harm in kicking back to relax for a while, right?

Right...?

[The touch against his hair makes Luke smile, and he nods as he shifts to get himself down.]

Yes, Asch. [It's a lot warmer in here, so he doesn't need to be against Asch that much. Once he gets himself on the floor, he holds Asch's hand - it's become routine by now - while he looks around, just staring at all the things in the store. It's pretty tempting to run off and hide somewhere just for the fun of it, but he said he'd be good! Plus he wants candy. Candy is awesome.]

[A brief and very small smile graces Asch's features as he looks down at Luke, then to their joined hands. The kid's come a long way, and he's rather well behaved as well. Asch would be lying if he said he wasn't proud of the little kid, and pat his head gently. He mumbles a gruff "good" under his breath, then began walking around the store, making a swift trail through the aisles to get to the children's clothes. This was a lot like their first time together, Asch recalls, and he sighs. It's almost been a full year now since he "adopted" the boy. Heh...would he have done so in the past? Certainly not. But it was good that he did, and Asch wouldn't give up Luke to anyone now.]

Luke, come here, please.

[Asch had released Luke to look through some clothes, and was holding a few over one arm. Long pants, a new coat, socks, and boots. Hopefull the things here were free, or at least Cheap. If not, Asch may have to get a job soon... His reserve of gald he kept from Auldrant was wearing dangerously thin.]

Do you like this? Try them on.

[In the short amount of time that he let go of Luke to look at clothes, Luke managed to watch what he was doing, get bored, and wander a few feet away to immerse himself in a rack of clothes nearby. Thankfully, it's stupidly easy to see him, seeing how his legs are sticking out, but it's fun to be in here!

...

Still.

Asch told him to come here. Even said please.

...

So, Luke pushes the clothes apart as if he was parting the river of Egypt or something, and he smiles almost sheepishly. He toddles over to the clothes Asch is holding, and he can't help grinning. They're white and gold, his favorite colors.]

I like them! [He takes the clothes, though he pauses and looks around with confusion. Was he going to try them on right here?]

[Sigh, drecks...little drecks especially. But at least Luke came when he was called, so Asch just gives him a brief smile and a pat on the head. He was a good kid, when he was taught correctly and not spoiled. When Luke takes the clothes and looks around, though, Asch mimics and spots a changing room a few aisles down. He takes Luke's arm gently, tugging him once before indicating the direction they should go.]

This way. You can change there.

[And he will help, of course.]
