Tear's here now as well. With more of the replica's group showing up, among other people from Auldrant, I can't help but worry about--

...no, they wouldn't bring her here.

About time the weather improved. Guy, Luke- when there's less mud on the ground, I need some exercise.

Mm, yeah. Like your father and Belkend, but a little more hands-on than that.

[Guy swings his leg a bit.] I don't remember a lot; it was so long ago, and I was so little. I remember going out to sea with my family a few times, and I remember when my mother taught me how to swim. I remember Van singing to me, and he and Mary playing with me while Father met with the officials that would come every so often. Just little tidbits here and there.

[Asch is quiet for a moment, considering his words. Then he lies back to rest more comfortably beside him, reaching out to sift a hand through his hair.] If things had been different - if we'd kept the peace between Kimlasca and Malkuth - Father and I might've been some of the officials who visited Hod.

I'd be a very, very different person if things hadn't turned out the way they had, Asch. And so would you, probably.

[That one takes more consideration.] ...Yeah. I'd... be like him.

[Wipe that emo off your face, boy.] And I'd be a pampered crybaby.

[Pffffft okay that worked, Asch is laughing now.] I'd say I would be an asshole, but it's a little redundant.

So we probably wouldn't have gotten along. At all.

I'd have tormented you endlessly.

Oh, definitely. And I've have told on you to my father.

You're lucky I'd be a nobleman, or I'd have beaten you up for that.

You'd have challenged me to a duel.

I wonder if our fathers would have allowed it.

If I was as pathetic as I was when I was small, my father probably would have. He wouldn't stand for a Gardios to be a whiner.

You were really that bad? It's hard to imagine.

I cried a lot; I was very spoiled. I was the only male heir to the Gardios name, after all, and I suppose Father might have had something to do with it. It was mostly Mother and Mary, though.

Mother was like that with me sometimes, when she wasn't ill. She thought I was the only child she'd ever have, so she wanted to give me everything. Father scolded her for it, but he always let her do it.

Mothers love their sons. That's not a nobility thing.

I know that. The good mothers, anyway.

Mm, the good ones. [Guy closes his eyes.]

[Asch glances over at him, lips pursing, and strokes his hair again.]

...I'm sorry.

It's easier than it was. [Guy smiles, though he doesn't open his eyes.]

I remember when I first started forgetting their faces. That was the worst. But...I don't know, I guess it's not that sad now. Better to keep them in my heart than in my mind's eye, you know?

[Asch wishes he were more of a natural cuddler - maybe he'd be of more use if he was. Still, wishful thinking is pointless, and Guy seems content enough, so he'll keep up the hair-stroking for now.]

Maybe that's part of why you grew up so different than I did. I obsessed over it, the memories I had with them, how they used to smile and be with me and not the replica... I couldn't stand to imagine them with anyone but me. I'm still selfish like that.

No, we're different because of a lot of other things, not because you were selfish or because I was bitter and hateful. It can't be summed up like that.

I said that was part of it, Guy. I know it's not that simple.

I still don't think that's it. [Guy glances over at him.] ...but I don't feel like going into it. It's pointless to dwell on these things, and it'll just make us depressed.
