[Early in the morning, Asch is by the section of trees close to the river outside House 5, standing in the snow in just his uniform, holding the Key of Lorelei. He seems fixated on whatever it is he's doing, namely holding the Key tip-down into the snow, both hands on the end of the hilt, eyes closed as he focuses. Every few moments you might catch a slight glow around him, little more than a flicker before it fades.

Talk, harass, troll, lurk? He's open for bothering, though he won't like it. |D]

[.......M-maybe.

Also- goddammit, Natalia.]

...You're from past Eldrant, aren't you.

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ Well. ]

It had been five months since, before I arrived here.

[dissonates]

Then you should know what happened to the replica after I died.

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ ...Well, this makes the 'Asch is inside you, he accepted you' belief a little awkward. ]

Luke. He created a second-order hyperresonance.

[dissonates]

[Yeah maybe she shouldn't say that.]

How do you think he got that power?

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ There's realization dawning. ]

But you're alive here...

[dissonates]

That doesn't change anything. When I died, my hyperresonance went to him.

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

Is that what you were doing? You were trying to use your hyperresonance?

[dissonates]

...There's no point in that. When something like that is gone, no amount of trying will get it back.

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ Unfortunately, she can't really... argue that. ]

Then what were you doing?

[dissonates]

[Smart girl.]

There's a spirit of healing here, Nala. Out here in the elements, I wanted to see if there were any similarities between her and the seventh fonon.

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ If that's what he wanted to know, he could have just come ask her. ]

I don't believe so. The only thing they seem to have in common is their ability to heal.

[dissonates]

[He's been here a lot longer than her. It would've been embarrassing.]

Even so, it was worth a try. It's possible that the spirit is this world's equivalent.

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ That darn manly pride. ]

That does seem to be the case. Once I was able to contact her, my healing artes strengthened.

[dissonates]

[Or just Asch's pride in general, really. It's practically his downfall.]

You've already contacted her? [Somehow he missed this, yup.]

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

A short while ago.

[ She is not going to admit that it took her a week and a half, simply because she didn't know what she was supposed to be doing initially. ]

[dissonates]

...That's not surprising. [And pretty impressive, regardless, considering how long he's been in Luceti and that his control over the curative magic is so limited.] That spirit's... eager. It's unpredictable sometimes.

[His little stint of being possessed by her awhile back gave him enough time to ponder her, that's for sure.]

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

[ Well, he's not a 'studied healer' like she is. ]

She does seem easier to contact than any of the other spirits. [ Unfortunately, as she had wanted to boost her archery artes the same way she had her healing artes. ] Though I'm not certain what you mean by 'unpredictable'.

[dissonates]

[True enough.]

She is. But she's flighty. [Read: she's friendly and makes him feel awkward. |D]

[belovedoujo.livejournal.com]

Flighty?

[ Oh, you. ]

[dissonates]

[Asch makes a vague sound of confirmation, not offering anything else to explain it.]
