[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.]

[Luke scoffs and pushes Emil back, turning away and crossing his arms.] Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't. [He can't say he's surprised.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm really sorry.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He scoffs, shaking his head.] Why should you care how I feel? I'm not them.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I...!!

[Ratatosk, y u do this. With a sudden sharp cry, Emil drops back down to his knees, clutching at his head.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Luke glances back sharply, eyes widening.] Emil!?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Sorry Luke, his brain is currently rebooting. He doesn't exactly hear you.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He'll wait it out, then, because he's not sure of just what's going on.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Eventually this whatever-it-was seems to pass and Emil sits up somewhat, still looking a bit pale.]

...

[Action]

[dissonates]

...What was that?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I don't know, m-maybe I still have that cold from last week. But I'm okay now.

[Action]

[dissonates]

That wasn't a cold.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

It was just a headache.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[This is the face of doubt, Emil.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I'll be fine, really. See?

[Standing up now to prove it.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

...If you say so.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Anyway, um, I should probably go now...

[Action]

[dissonates]

...I'll see you later, Emil. [Better to get this awkward conversation over with.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, I'll see you later, um...

[Damn, what does he call him now?]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He'll take a wild guess at that.] ...It's Luke. I'm still Luke.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[He nods.]

Luke. I'll see you later, then. Come on, Sial!

[The chimera comes over to follow Emil back to the house as he leaves.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He doubts that, but it doesn't stop him from watching Emil leave before heading off on his way.]
