[Action/Accidental Voice?]

[dissonates]

[Asch is in the wooded area in front of house 5, close to the crossroads but facing away, working through his techniques and practicing his fonic artes. He's been pretty irate since his conversation with Natalia, and after Jacob's sacrifice and his discussion with Guy, he's more focused than before, but he's still not in the best of moods.

His journal is open on a rock nearby in case something else happens or he's needed for something; feel free to a) see him, b) hear him shouting out random attacks, c) troll, or d) ignore entirely. |Db]

[He don't know what you're talking about.o/]

Indeed. I was just passing by and I noticed you shouting training. I apologize for mistaking you for Luke. [See? He can totally be civil.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

That was pretty good. [Guy pulls himself to his feet, sliding the sheath back in his belt and the katana into place with a satisfying click.]

[dissonates]

[uh-huh.]

Apology accepted.

[Sort of. At least, he's not completely irate about it.]

[dissonates]

[Asch nods slowly, brushing back his disheveled hair and pushing off the tree.] ...I feel a little better.

[dissonates]

I just said I wasn't.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I knew you would. You're one of those barbarians that feel better after swinging their club around a few times.

[dissonates]

I-I am not! I can be just as reasonable as you!

[Now he's holding out a hand.]

It's good to finally meet you in person. I've heard a lot about you.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. [Guy dusts himself off.]

[dissonates]

[Asch just gives him a disgruntled look. He is a noble at heart, dammit, he's just spirited, 8|]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I'm kidding. [Guy says it all with a smile, though; Asch, you should really learn to tell when Guy's kidding and when he's not, you silly cockatiel.]

[Asch gives him a wary look, unmoving for a moment, then finally reaches out to shake his hand. He's still undecided about the man himself, but as the emperor, it's better to be diplomatic for now.]

What is it that you know?

[Or rather, what he's been told. Lies and rumours can be stirred up by a name like 'Asch the Bloody' no matter where you go.]

[dissonates]

[.....Right, right. The irritation fizzles, leaving Asch feeling embarrassed for not having recognized it again. Well, improvement doesn't appear overnight, right? He shifts a bit uncomfortably, not really sure of what to do now.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Guy'll solve that little problem.] I'm gonna head inside. Are you hungry?

[dissonates]

[You and your problem solving, Guy |D Asch is relieved.] ...Yeah. I'll come, too.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I'll make us some seafood.

[dissonates]

[Let's try this again.] You'll make me sick.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Fine fine, chicken. [He'll just make seafood for himself, then.]

[dissonates]

I don't mind when we mix it together. [Someone was teasing a little.]

[Good things, bad things, what does it matter when you're supposed to be dead? Luckily, Peony devoured everything in the guide and is prepared for something like this.]

I've kept my eye on the God Generals for a while now. I know you're different from the others.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

You're a liar. You'll pick out all the seafood bits and make a disgusting mess on your plate.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch turns away a bit, feigning disinterest.]

You were watching our movements?

[dissonates]

[PUFFING UP.] W-well it's better than making you eat chicken all the time, isn't it?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Marginally. [Guy grins as he starts for the house.]

I'm the emperor of Malkuth. What else did you expect?
