[Voice / Action]

I need to speak with one of the Malnosso.

[Today, Asch is all over the place. First to the plaza, to check the item bazaar for a few things; next, to the north edge of the village, above the houses, his favourite spot to ~~blow shit up~~ practice his fonic artes; finally, to the opposite edge, sword practice against the targets inside the barracks. He's gotten so restless since Luke's disappearance and he needs to stay on the move to avoid going crazy.

Feel free to bother him at any of those locations or even en route; he could use some socializing.]

You don't know that. You're just making assumptions because you're scared.

I do know that. Why else would people like Richter and Tenebrae and Horatio and Luke all get sent home?

[Arumat knows right away that Asch is there, but since the other doesn't seem intent on bothering him, he's going to continue with his training for a few moments and just ignore the kid. If Asch wants to say anything, he can.

... such social fail, you two.]

...Emil, I want you to do something for me.

[Stop being retarded for one- wait he can't say that, damn. It's strange; despite how frustrating Emil is being, Asch feels oddly calm. Maybe it's because he understands- he's been there.]

List all the people who you either consider friends or who you know care about you.

[He thinks for a moment. What counts as a friend? Just talking to someone? He talks to a lot of people, but he's not sure he would consider all of them friends, more like acquaintances.]

Um... you, Doctor McCoy, Yuri, Raven, Judith, Colette, Sheena, Zelos, Genis, Regal, Raine, Buffy, Fina, Minato, Vyse, Stahn...

...That's very helpful.

[Insert a standard-quality explanation here. She remembers a lot about the terrain and the enemies, mainly because she had never seen anything like either before.]

[Social fail, indeed- once he's gauged Arumat's range and a few of his techniques, Asch chooses a spot a safe distance away and draws his sword, beginning to work on his own techniques, laying waste to one of the training dummies.]

It's meant to be.

[Asch just leans back and crosses his arms, giving Emil a look. Are you paying attention to what you're saying, Emil?]

But they could all be sent home too, and I might never see them again.

...you don't think it's interesting?

[Yeah, totally not impressive.

...but...if he could use a smaller sword... Well, the broadswords weren't exactly a strain to use, but they were heavier. If he could use something lighter, he might get a lot faster, and Cloud knows he's decently speedy. He heads over to the weapons rack to check out the lighter swords.]

And they might stay here for a year, two, more than that. Just how long are you going to push them away?

[This face. He's pretty sure that he can't lie that well.]

Oh.

...well I guess that's understandable. [SADLY MAKES COFFEE.]

[Asch blinks at that, surprised; he hadn't expected Cloud to actually concede on the issue. Is he actually going to try something more reasonable?]

[....Okay, that's just pitiful. Let's throw him a bone.] Have you taken it apart yet?

[Maybe it's time to stop living as a legacy and start living as Cloud.

Cloud hesitates though; guh. It's one thing to make a decision like that and another to voice it to a person that's just so...disagreeable. But it's obvious he knows what he's doing...

Cloud selects a blade -it's probably obvious he didn't put a lot of thought into what kind it was- and half-turns to speak over his shoulder -because he can't FACE him, obviously.] ...will you teach me how to use this?

Oh Score, no. I wouldn't do something like that.

I got another one from the store and took that one apart.

[Asch listens quietly, nodding every now and then. So that's what happened...]

That's helpful. [And he's grateful, even if he doesn't say as much.]

[....Yeah, that is funny.] I shouldn't be surprised.

My next endeavor is an electric can opener! After I figure out how to put the coffee maker back together.

[Asch pauses at that; the most he remembers from Cloud is the attitude, how obnoxious he'd been about the whole Zack fiasco. His first instinct is to just say to hell with it- he's not the only one who knows how to use a regular-sized broadsword. People who are less likely to explode.

....Hm.]

Will you listen to me if I try?
