[Action / Written]

[dissonates]

[It's been almost a week since 'Luke' returned from his kidnapping, and over the past few days he's been trying to get used to his new... living arrangements. His mind is still something of a jumble, but despite that he's out and about, really exploring the village instead of wandering aimlessly from the mountains. More than likely, he'll be lurking close to the houses of people he knew, as either Luke or Asch, though he's too antsy to knock or say hello. He's also carting around the Key of Lorelei, the sword Asch had before.

As he walks, he'll be randomly jotting down a seemingly randomized set of numbers. Though some might find it familiar:]

3.14159265358979322946...

[...Yeah, he's definitely still a bit scatterbrained. Bother hiiiiim.]

Lucky. [He makes a faint noise at that, difficult to decipher, though it's pretty cynical.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Luke...?

[What is wrong with you, BFF. :(]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He's not entirely your BFF :c]

...Just forget it. You wouldn't understand.

[Actually he'd probably understand better than anyone, to some extent, but like hell he'd acknowledge that.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

...

Um, if you need anything, I can...

[Emil knows quite well what it's like to not be the only one in your head, yes.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

Just what do you think you can do for me?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I thought I could... m-maybe bring Sial over, or go for a walk with you, or...

[Action]

[dissonates]

Sial? [Somewhat unfamiliar name, ho hummm...]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

My chimera.

[Action]

[dissonates]

You have a- [...Oh, right, he has a chimera. Luke must've met it.] ...You can bring him if you want.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

O-okay. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you again.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He nods, shifting from foot to foot and gesturing.] I'll wait here, then.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I'll be right back.

[He heads back inside, returning a few moments later with the little fuzzbutt in tow. Sial stops when he spots Lusch and tilts his head curiously.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch is eyeing the little fuzzball right back.] ...Hi, Sial.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[And Sial... kind of flattens his ears and hisses a bit. Emil is mortified.]

S-Sial, what are you doing? It's just Luke, you've met him before!

[Action]

[dissonates]

[lol I didn't notice the name fail there

He takes a step back at that, eyes widening.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with him. Maybe he's still upset about me being gone all of last week.

[Action]

[dissonates]

Or he doesn't know me. [This is starting to make him really uncomfortable.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Huh?

Re: [Action]

[dissonates]

...Nothing.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe I should put him back inside...

[Action]

[dissonates]

Do it. Get him out of here.

[He turns away abruptly. With that sort of reception it's not even worth trying.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Luke...

[Action]

[dissonates]

Dammit, Emil, stop looking like that...! [You haven't talked to him in months and to have it end up like this...]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry, I just... I don't even know anymore!

[Action]

[dissonates]

....

[He falls silent at that. Just what is he supposed to say? Nothing he says helps.]
