[ somewhere wandering outside is female!ion. worry is plainly etched on her face, her staff clutched closely to her chest. the path she's following leads straight into the woods past the point she's pacing back and forth in front of, the occasional glance thrown back at where everyone seems to live. she's obviously unsure whether to set foot in the dark woods alone. ]

Oh, Asch. Where have you gone?

[ someone's become very concerned about unspokengrief. ]

[ walks alongside him. ] When I must.

Then I'll fight, should the need arise. [studies Ion] You don't look like you would be able to handle a lot of hits.

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

[ her face goes a little red. ] While that may be true, I still would want to help.

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

[gives her another small smile] I won't stop you. But please, try not to get too close to the monsters. Will that be alright with you?

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

Yes... That won't be too difficult.

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

You have my gratitude. [keeps walking, pausing when he thinks that he might have heard a noise or a voice]

[ follows closely alongside him, trying not to run into him whenever he pauses. she's carefully looking around, more interested in finding what she's looking for than being scared of the forest itself. ]

How long have you been here Fon Master? [is trying to start a conversation]

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

About a month. It isn't that bad, really... You may call me Ion, by the way.

What about you?

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

...I shall call you that, if you want me to. [nods to himself]

A few days ago. I've never seen such a confusing place before.

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

Thank you. [ gives him a smile. ]

That is very true... It takes some getting used to. I had a lot of confusion over my gender, at first...

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. [returns the smile]

...you're a boy? [not really sure, just guessing]

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

I-I'm a girl, actually...

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

I apologize. The Ion that Luke knew was male so...

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

...

You aren't Luke?

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head] No.

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

...Oh. I see.

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

And before you ask: No, I'm not Asch either.

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

Now I'm too embarrassed to ask.

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

Oh? [tilts his head again]

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

Y-yes, um... I apologize.

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

You don't have to Ion. There's nothing to forgive.

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

...Who are you, then?

[seventhkey.livejournal.com]

...You will have to promise me that you won't tell anyone, even if they pry. Can you do that?

[beholdher.livejournal.com]

I promise!
