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]

[She blinks again, tilting hr head. Miyabi may be pretty young for her species, and definitely naive, but she's not stupid. And she can tell there's something bothering him just as much as with her. Carefully, she inquires.]

...Are you sure? You look kind of upset. Is something wrong?

[dissonates]

[Wha- oh, it's you. :|] ...Caine.

[He scoffs faintly, averting his eyes. She could just check the journal later and see for herself, so may as well get it over with.]

Someone I know was sent home. That's all.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

That's right. [You look upset, boyo. So he's going to politely nod at that one too before settling in near him]

[dissonates]

[Asch keeps walking, though he doesn't protest Horatio coming closer.] Is there something you want?

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[Might as well walk with the guy] I... [...] I was wondering if you might be looking for something.

[She's not usually the type to pry. Not all the time, at least. She goes silent after he speaks and bows her head sadly. She doesn't know the feeling, but can only imagine. What would she do if Ammy was sent home? She didn't want to think about it.]

...I'm sorry. But at least they're home now, right? Is there anything I can do?

[dissonates]

[If you insist.] I'm not looking for anything.

That... seems to beg the question as to what you're going here]

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[Shades off] But that- [...] that's your business, isn't it?

[Action]

[dissonates]

There's nothing anyone can do. Why do you think I'm all the way out here?

zero dammit read your own tags 8|

[dissonates]

You're right, it is.

Natalia... she was someone close to you, right?

If you mean the word repeating that's canon. If you mean the extra bracket, sorry.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. [Heh.] Do you mind if I walk with you for a while?

that's not what I was confused about 8|

[dissonates]

You can do whatever you want.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

...Yeah. [How close, he's not about to divulge.]

[Okay, even for someone who's used to facing demons and monsters left and right back home, which could probably make anyone else cry for the rest of their lives, that face alone is enough to make the poor girl flinch. She's just trying to help, Asch, god.

There's a long pause before she stands up on his palm and gathers herself a little, twitching her wings.]

I'm sorry...I only wanted to help. I can't do anything about your friend, but I can lend and ear, or at least give you some company.

[ffffff poor girl indeed. He feels kind of bad now. Marginally. Cue him looking away.]

....S... stop it. Stop looking like that.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[...that could've gone better.]

Asch, come on. Please?

[dissonates]

[....Grumble.]

You want to talk, so talk.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Not over these.

[dissonates]

Then it'll have to wait.

[You'll have to fight for it, Guy, sorry.]

[The Malnosso? Is this about the love event?]

They're still just as strong. But... some things in this world can control the strongest things out there. It's... so unfair, I know.

[She'll just shut her eyes and lean her head against the touch. Really, all she does is listen. But sometimes, that's all you have to do.]

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[Maybe, maybe not.]

...That's why I hate this world.
