[Luke hated it that his meeting with his brother had gone so sour after not seeing him for so long. He knew it was stupid to think that Asch would magically like him and accept him as a brother, but...the hope was still there. He supposed things like that wouldn't happen on their own, and that he was to make an effort as well. For now, Luke stands there thoughtfully, playing with what seems a locket, the only thing his mother could give him before the attack.]

...Asch. I have something for you.

[Anyone can come in and bother him though.]

It should be fine as long as you have an owner, right? Not like they can take you away from it, if you're being helpful.

...I don't have an owner anymore.

No?

Guy is...gone. I don't know where he went. [ looks down at her feet ] My previouys master must have a new model by now, so I am no longer under anyone's care.

I see. Is it crucial for you to have a "master"?

Yes. I would have to go back to-- [ stops beginning to shake ] I don't want to go back there.

Come on...Stop that. I already told you nothing was going to happen to you here.

And if you really desperate to have a master, I could be one.

They, they always find you. Y-you can hide but they always find you... [ desperately trying not to shake ]

...You would have to spend time with me, then.

Spend time with you...Like, how much. And doing what?

I am required to be with you at all times. I would do whatever you commanded me to do. I am built to serve.

...Oh boy.

But I can command you to go away for a while, right? [Trying to find a loophole here]

I, I guess so... [ totally hurt ] I must do whatever it is you command.

Sounds fun. I get my own slave now.

[ resists the urge to object at being called a slave ] ...Is there anything I can do for you now, master? Your wish is my command.

Well, for starters, don't call me "Master". Luke is fine, since I'm not gonna really treat you like a slave.

As you wish, Luke. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Nope. Just drop the formalities and we'll be fine.

...Is that it?

Yeah, just act as you would normally. As long as you don't try to kill me or Guy, that is.

[Fiddles around with the locket, gazing down at it and thinking]

.... [ not used to this at all ] ....Should I clean your room?

[ watches him play with the locket ] That is...important to you?

...Actually, I haven't even found myself a place to live here yet. I've been busy just wandering around.

And yeah...very important. It's a locket that belonged to my mother, though I can't get it open. Actually, I haven't even tried...I'm too scared that I'll break it or something.

...Are you hungry?

Perhaps I could help? I have tools. And, I promise to be very gentle.

A little bit?

I don't think tools will be necessary...all you gotta do is open it gently. Again, I'm just too scared of messing up, it's the only thing I have from her.

Would you like anything to eat?

[ holds out her hand ] I can open it, if you wish. I promise I will not break it.

Maybe...later [Distracted at her suggestion]

[...Tiny precious locket in the hands of a murdersome robot. Luke can't help but feel uneasy, but he reluctantly gives it to her] I will destroy you myself if you break it, got it?
