[If you should happen to pass by the north bridge closest to the plaza, you might notice a redhead sitting by the riverside, legs folded, with the Key of Lorelei propped up against his shoulder instead of his usual sword. He doesn't look particularly angry or angsty or brooding, just... lost in thought. He's had a lot to consider with Natalia's kidnapping and Luke's lost memories. Among other things.

At some point or other, though, he does make a comment for the journal:]

Is it ever... too late to regret something? Or to apologize?

How do you make up for something that can't be taken back...?

[Asch snorts faintly, tightening his grip on the sword.]

He doesn't want my help. It's not my responsibility.

...You tried, and that's what matters. Whatever reason Luke may have, you're the reason we know this was partially his choice. [Brb kind of ignoring your >( over this.]

My assumption is that he did it in an attempt to withhold information from the Malnosso, but I may be giving him too much credit.

[Asch is just bitching because he's impatient.]

He was protecting himself. [The flicker he'd felt when Luke violently forced him away, the wall he'd met, told him that much.] I don't know what they did to him, but it was enough to force him into a corner like this.

[Looks away from him, fiddling with some piece of her clothing.]

In the end, he can only grow from it.

[Shifting awkwardly. These little heart-to-hearts with Tear of all people still weird him out.]

I don't see how forgetting who you are and who you know can benefit anyone.

[They weird her out a little bit, too, no worries. She smiles just a little.]

It's currently of no benefit, but from what I can tell, Luke has gotten to be quite skilled at taking experience in stride. [Also known as, Tear is ignoring the fact that she's kind of worried about him and being srs bsns.]

I haven't seen any evidence of that. [He has, somewhat, but like hell he's going to admit that.]

[Shrugs her shoulders just barely.]

If he's done it to himself he'll need to face the consequences. If he refuses help then it's not our place to meddle.

[Asch snorts at that.]

I'm not meddling. He can do whatever the hell he wants!
