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]

[...

SQUISHYYYY

She realized that Asch and Luke managed to separate from Squishfuzzle, but she never got to see him. Even though Asch looks angry and upset, Ammy's still happy to see him. She tones down the happy look on her face, though, just for him.]

[Asch glances sidelong at her, pausing in his step just long enough to look. After a moment he shakes his head and averts his eyes, continuing onward. He definitely doesn't want to play.]

[Well hey, she doesn't wanna play either. She falls in step behind him, watching to see if he's going anywhere in particular.]

[He's not, really, just walking down the trail along the river. He doesn't miss the fact that she's following, and he doesn't look back, but he doesn't tell her to leave, either.]

[Then she'll keep on following! The sun is rising, there's a fine mist over the river, and the birds are singing, even though it is a little cold. It kind of contrasts Asch's behavior, unless his soul is cold like the snow.

Her footsteps are quiet as she follows, only making light crunching noises in the slushy snow. She won't make another sound, either, unless Asch wants her to.]

[He's more neutral than cold or even fiery; he's angry, but with nothing to take said anger out on he's just letting it stew quietly for a while. He's moving at a steady pace, though, as if he's got a goal in mind, though he seems to be headed nowhere in particular.

...Why her? Why now?]

[Following, following... Eventually, she speeds up a bit to nudge her nose against his hand. She doesn't want to play, just "talk".]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[His eyes shift down to look at her when he feels the nudge, scoffing softly before actually speaking.] Save yourself the trouble and leave me alone.

[Nudges again. Now you tell Momma Amaterasu what's going on.]

[Grumble grumble. You're just lucky that no one else is around.] ...Natalia was sent home.

[Mun is unsure if they've met but Ammy's certainly heard of her, whether through Asch or just word of mouth or the fact that Ammy pretty much watches over everyone. And that... explains a lot. She lets out a low whine and lowers her head.]

[Even Asch doesn't know if they've met, he's just being stupidly vague as usual He shrugs, attempting to look disinterested.] It doesn't matter. She's better off back there, where she's needed.

[Oh, you and your noble self. It's okay to miss someone, you know, even if you know they're in a safer place.

She nudges him again, although she keeps her nose against his hand. It matters. And it's okay to feel that way.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[More like stupid self, but you've always been generous, Ammy. He hesitates, then scuffs his fingers through her fur. It's not supposed to be okay for him to feel that way.]

Natalia?

[Long pause.]

Oh yes, I did speak with her once.

Natalia's gone...?

Asch... I'm sorry.

[Asch might notice, as he walks, a spot underneath of the tress seems to be raining little bits and pieces of leaves and twigs. The branches above are also shaking a little. If he actually takes the time to look, he'll notice a small little object, a reddish light hopping around furious, cutting up leaves left and right.

Miyabi's not is a very pleasant mood either - one guess as to why - but at least she's distracting herself with some innocent swordplay.]

If...I ever...see that...two-bit...demon again--!! [Feel free to get her attention, they could both use the distraction, I'd assume.]

[Well okay, that last part is stupid. B| But she's gonna lean into that, enough to rest the side of her head against his leg.]

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Okay this is going to be bad.]

...hey. Um.



Can we talk...?

[Although Stella has been occupied with Senel (you know, making up and all. Yeah.), there's been enough of a break for her to open her journal and flip it around, wondering how everyone else is taking the end of the experiment. And that voice... Stella's never met Natalia, but with the way Asch said it, she sounds like an important friend.]

Asch...

[dissonates]

[It takes a moment of uncomfortable scratching, but eventually Asch surrenders and crouches down beside her to pet her properly. She shouldn't have to endure his foul mood when she's just trying to help.]

Is that supposed to impress me?
