[Voice / Action]

[There's a shuffling noise for a moment, and a muttered phrase too faint to decipher. Finally, 'Luke' speaks up, his tone serious and surprisingly calm:]

Residents of Luceti who originally came from Auldrant, and any strong healers with a deep connection to the spirit Nala who are willing to help- please respond to this. It's very important.

[Luke can be found by the river near House 5, hidden in a copse of trees, kneeling in the snow. He's pretty serious business right now.]

[ooc note: For the record, myself and

wingedreplica will be taking turns handling the threads in this, so don't be alarmed if someone else replies ;) Sorry if this seems confusing, it's all part of the plan~]

[He slipped -stumbled- on a patch of melting snow, but caught himself with a hand to the ground and ran. Faster. Faster, Guy, damn it, move-!

He rounded the corner and came upon the house- Luke was nearby the river, he had to make it to him on time. Had to support him- he needed Luke, needed Luke, and he knew that no matter what form he took that Luke needed him too. The red hair was a familiar and comforting sight and Guy stumbled upon the scene breathless and sweaty; his full tilt slowed to a jog and then a walk before he stopped a few feet away, gasping for breath.

Luke was doing it.

So Guy summoned what air he could and cupped his hands around his mouth.] Luke! Give it all you've got!

[Luke's head lifts at that, his eyes snapping wide, and the fonons waver for a moment as his focus shifts. He glances back, staring in shock.] Guy...

[He's there. He's actually there... and with that knowledge, and his confidence renewed, he turns back to what he's doing, giving it another push. It resists at first, but after a moment a form starts to appear underneath the robe. Within moments, there's a body lying beneath it in the snow, short red hair making it fairly obvious who it is.

And as it forms, fonons are traveling from Luke's body into the new one, and the long red hair of the original starts to grow darker as the flare of hyperresonance flickers, and he sways in place, mumbling.]

It's working...

[Guy had always been a little wary of hyperresonance -who wouldn't be, after seeing what it could do- but the sway of Luke's stance makes him throw his caution to the wayside and come up right beside him. He's not sure if he should touch him, but Guy holds out an arm behind him as if to catch him should he fall.]

Are you sure about this? [His voice is nothing more than a murmur, his eyes searching to meet Luke's.]

[Luke glances back at Guy again, meeting his gaze for one long moment before he smiles, shaking his head.] Doesn't matter- it's better this way. Everyone will be happy... [He grimaces slightly - it's hard, separating half of yourself from your own body - but he pushes his uncertainty aside and just keeps smiling, voice lowering to a murmur.] Thanks... for everything.

[One last burst of fonons- one last flare of severing hyperresonance, and it all flows into the newly formed body.

Into Luke.

And Asch slumps against Guy, hand dropping to his side.]

Nn..

[Guy's breath was caught- he didn't think he'd breathed properly since he arrived, but now more than ever he was aware of his vision swimming.

So when the cape on the ground moved, Guy sucked in a gasp as if he'd been drowning. The other man in his arms -was it Asch? Did it work?- was balanced on his lap, and Guy stripped off his jacket and pillowed it on the ground, gently laying Asch atop it, against his side before leaning forward to draw the cloth away from his face.]

Luke...?

Luke... [Guy summons up a shaky smile and reaches forward to brush a hand down his cheek.] Hey. How're you feeling?

[How's Asch.

Asch. It was Asch, it really was Asch, Asch and Luke-!

Guy brought himself back to the conversation with another shaky grin, and after checking Asch's breathing and pulse, put his hands back to Luke's face.] He's fine for now. But I think we need to get you inside first; somehow I don't think this little cape is going to protect you from the cold for very long.

I figured, [Guy chuckles. He maneuvers Asch to lay on the ground -his head pillowed on Guy's jacket- before he moves over to Luke. It's going to be tough to lift dead weight right up from the ground like that, so after a bit of struggling Guy manages to tuck the coat around Luke and heft him up into his arms.]

Whoa- there we go. You sure your body didn't get made a little chunkier than usual, Luke? [It's an empty jab, something to fill the silence so that Guy doesn't start clinging and embarrassing himself.]

If it is... it's not my fault.

I won't argue that. [It takes some careful maneuvering, but Guy manages to turn the door handle without dropping Luke and nudges it open with his knee, heading for Luke's room.]

But... thanks... for doing this.

C'mon Luke, you don't have to thank me for something like this. [Guy carries Luke to his room and settles him on his bed, pulling the covers over him. Guy's not sure if Luke will have the strength to dress himself, but he needs to get Asch inside before he tries anyway.] I'll be right back in a second, okay? Hang on.

Sure.

[And Guy will head out to collect Asch and get him situated, too.]

[Meanwhile, Asch has woken up as well, and has been puzzling over why the hell he's lying alone in the snow. :|b When Guy returns he'll find Asch attempting to sit up.]

[And Guy is immediately at his side, slipping an arm beneath his shoulders.] Hey hey, take it easy.

[Asch starts a little at his touch, eyes widening and staring over at Guy as if finding it hard to believe he's actually there.]

Hi. [Guy offers a crooked smile.] Welcome back.

[Asch blinks slowly, reaching out a hand to place it on Guy's chest experimentally. Feels real enough, sounds real enough...]

We'd better get you inside. [Without waiting to even see if Asch was capable of standing, Guy slips his arms beneath his shoulders and his legs, hefting him up with a grunt.]

Guy- Guy, hold on- [He stops himself before he can continue, though, reaching up to grip Guy's shoulder. He probably can't walk anyway, and...

And maybe he's still just stunned by the fact that he's back.]
