And you can stop talking like you know what happened while I was with the Order. "A few"? You don't have even the slightest idea what it was like! [It's more of a reprimand than an argument, really. Asch glares back sharply, eyes narrowing.] So, just how long have you been waiting to say that?

Fonic artes are Jade's area of expertise, not mine. But if you're going to show me those notes, I suggest you explain what happened.
...And whatever you're hiding, while you're at it. Otherwise I can't guarantee a complete absence of tyrannical acts. You didn't want me going inside earlier, yet you had to hurry off to finish something. What's that about?
