[After this, because it's too good an opportunity to pass up.]

Natalia, I need to talk to you!

[dissonates]

Everything's fine.

[OOZING MISERY.]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Don't lie.

[dissonates]

[.......Goddamn that mindlink FOREVER.]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

You going to be okay?

[Locked]

[dissonates]

....I don't know.

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I take it things didn't really go well.

[Locked]

[dissonates]

Not at all. She's probably as upset as you were when you found out.

[And that wasn't exactly the most thrilling time for them all, either.]

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I can't really blame her, I know how she feels.

[Locked]

[dissonates]

[Asch doesn't really know what to say to that. It had been hard enough at the time.]

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, it's not really something any of us expected.

Just give her time, though. That's all you can do.

[Locked]

[dissonates]

I know. It's just frustrating.

[He hasn't seen her in so long, and to have it spoiled by something like this? He's feeling miserable because it all.]

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Asch.

Anything.... I can do to help?

[Locked]

[dissonates]

It's fine. I just need to get over it. I'm not the one who's hurting, after all.

[He's not one to ask for favours, but if you have any suggestions...]

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I don't think that's true. You're hurting too, just not in the same way.

I'll try talking to Natalia later, okay?

[Locked]

[dissonates]

You don't have to if you don't want to. [There may or may not be a slight plea for help in there.]

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

I don't mind doing it. I'll just give her a little time to get herself together though.

In the meantime... want to go somewhere? Get out of the house for a while?

[Locked]

[dissonates]

[He almost refuses. Almost.

...But.]

...Yeah. I need to get out of here.

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Good. You pick where we go.

[Locked]

[dissonates]

[Oh snap, was that a command?]

Let's go to the lake. I don't care which one.

[Locked]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll meet you outside.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Either way, it worked; Asch is heading outside in a matter of moments.]

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Ready to go?

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch glances sidelong at him and nods, turning to go.]

I hope you didn't have plans for today.

[Action]

[wingedreplica.livejournal.com]

Nah, I didn't. Don't worry.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He is, actually. And he can probably notice how it's gradually affecting how tense Asch is. For once the replica is calming him down.]
