[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]

If Jade were my only source of information about fonons I would be quite unfortunate, and very misinformed.

...I can understand why you might hate him.

[dissonates]

...I don't hate him. [Though by all rights he really should.]

[silversnowfall]

Then you are part of a very small group of people.

[dissonates]

Hmph. [Asch shrugs carelessly, wiping snow off the end of the Key before it freezes over.] Hating him would be pointless. You don't hate the creator of a sword that kills someone you care about.

[silversnowfall]

Some do. ...And I believe your situation is different.

[dissonates]

Maybe it is. But either way, he's not responsible for it.

[silversnowfall]

Mm.

...Have you been here for a long time?

[dissonates]

About a year and a half now.

[silversnowfall]

...That's so long.

[dissonates]

Not as long as some.

[silversnowfall]

...What...point in time did you come from?

[dissonates]

...Eldrant. [More or less. He'd been sent home, but she doesn't need all the details.]

[silversnowfall]

I see.

[later than him, then. She knows what happens to him but tries not to let it show in her face]

[dissonates]

Why are you asking me that? [Little does she know it's already happened, he's just skipping out on the details.]

[silversnowfall]

I've asked everyone from Auldrant that. I just like to know.

[dissonates]

[Asch makes a vague sound of dismissal, going quiet for a moment, then glances back at her.] And you?

[silversnowfall]

...I am...I was...it's been a couple of years. Since Eldrant.

[dissonates]

...I see. [In that case, Asch turns away again.] I already know my own fate, you don't have to hide anything.

[silversnowfall]

I wasn't going to. [she has no idea why he's being so angry with her] I wouldn't bring it up, either, without knowing your preference on discussing it first.

[dissonates]

[Clearly she doesn't know Asch well enough. It doesn't help that he's in a lousy mood.] ...Forget it, then.

[silversnowfall]

All right.

[you seem to be making an awful lot of assumptions about what she's going to say, Asch. Are you like this with others?]

[dissonates]

[Most people, yep. And in typical Asch fashion, he doesn't speak unless spoken to.]

[silversnowfall]

I'm sorry for taking up your time.

[dissonates]

It doesn't matter, you were just talking.

[silversnowfall]

It matters if you were doing something important.
