Natalia's gone.

[It's early morning; between Natalia's sudden disappearance and Guy's little event-related affair this past week, Asch is officially in a shit mood right now, and has entered that oh-so pleasant "leave me the hell alone" mentality that he's so fond of. Thus, he's left the house and wandered off to walk along the river along the western side of the village, heading for nowhere in particular - his only goal is to get out.

If you're willing to handle his bitchery, feel free to strike up a conversation or meet him en route. He's armed but for once not dangerous, just moody. |D]

As if you know any more...

[She'll apologize for getting stuff in your hair later, Asch. Right now, that little Poncle's taking out her anger on a particularly large branch. She leaps right at it, sword raised above her head, but misses her footing on a bit of wet snow and squeaks as she tumbles down from the tree she was in.]

Ah--!

[Voice]

[dissonates]

Now I know you're an idiot.

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Well, whatever.

[He'll prove you wrong when the time is right.]

You can just keep moping over that woman then. I don't really care.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

To hell with you.

[Shutting the journal now.]

[Voice]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Honestly?

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Oh for god's sake. Asch steps forward, hands lifting to catch her before she can hit the ground.]

[Voice]

[dissonates]

....Tch.

[That should make it pretty clear.]

[Harharhar. And Ammy can understand that. Lots of people hate this place. She tilts her head patiently. Why does he hate it so?]

[Voice]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[That little noise is almost like him telling the whole situation to her, only not.]

You're right... feeling the way you do.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[Yeah he's no good at this whole communication thing.]

Am I? How does feeling anything ever help?

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He ruffles her fur, then slumps against the closest tree, sitting in the half-melted snow with a mumble.]

Why do they do it? Scientists, doctors, scholars... they toy with our lives when they see something different, or special.

It proves that we're human.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

It also proves that humans are weak.

[Ammy won't move forward just yet. She just stays standing and watching, listening. Unfortunately... That's what happens when anyone views themselves as superior to others and don't value other lives.]

To feel emotion is weak?

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Asch doesn't expect much of her; he's really just ranting quietly to himself. He does hunch over a little, grimacing.]

You're lucky. Animals don't do this to each other.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

To let it hurt you is weak.

[Action]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[That's what she's here for! And... eh heh. He really thinks that, huh? Well. That's all right. She'll finally go in to lay down beside him and lay her head in his lap.]

[Voice]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

They can be painful, yes... But it's not as if we just let it hurt us. Emotions are powerful things. To feel the strength of them doesn't determine whether you're weak or not... It's how you walk on afterward.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[With a grateful mumble - or at least a noise that could probably be interpreted as such - he goes back to stroking her fur. She really is good with this stuff.]

[Voice]

[dissonates]

Emotions aren't powerful if they're so easily manipulated by others.

[She lands rather unceremoniously on his hands, groaning and rubbing her head after she removes her cap. She huffs, dusting the little garment off.]

Bah, stupid tree! You'd think I'd have a little more experience battling in a snowy environment, what with living almost a century in Kamui! Tch... I swear it's all that stu--[Oh, hey, there's a person holding her. Miyabi blinks, then stares up at Asch, startled to see him.] Oh! Master Asch! You're on your feet now; are you feeling better?

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He lifts a brow down at her, not really sure what he's supposed to do now.]

What? I'm fine.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[Easy, he makes his way over with his hands on his hips a little (just... absently, not accusatory like) and then-] Nice to see you again, Asch.
