[ 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. ]

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

...

You aren't Luke?

[shakes his head] No.

...Oh. I see.

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

Now I'm too embarrassed to ask.

Oh? [tilts his head again]

Y-yes, um... I apologize.

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

...Who are you, then?

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

I promise!

Lorelei.

... [ just stares at him, her face going very red. ]

What's wrong? Is this really such a strange concept?

I... I never thought...

I'm sorry for not realizing it was you!

Ion, please don't apologize. There's no reason why you should. [offers her a small smile]

[ tries to smile back. ] A-all right.

Now... We should keep looking for Asch. I'm sure he'll be happy to know that you are concerned about him.

Right! Um... Deeper into the forest we go, I guess.

You're not scared, are you?

...A little, maybe. To save Asch, it doesn't matter!

You're brave Ion. [sounds mildly amused] I hope we'll find him.

Thank you for offering your help, really...

No problem. After all... It's an Asch. I can't let anything happen to him.
