[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.]

So what are they?

Knights of the Order of Lorelei. Religious soldiers.

Ohh...! That's very impressive. It's always nice to meet another soldier. Ah, but as you can see, I'm an archer. My name is Rebecca, by the way.

...Asch. [He glances over at her bow, trying not to be obvious about the fact that he's probably more interested in her combat skills than herself as a person. It's just how he is.]

[She notices, and she holds it out. It's just a normal steel bow from her world.] I've been using a bow since I was little...I had to hunt game to help feed my family.

So you're a hunter. [That's a bit different than long-range combat soldiers, but-] Can you fight with it as well?

Yes, I can. ...About two years ago, I became a soldier. I'm not formally trained, but...I've a very good eye, and I served my country well.

Hm. Good. [Slight approval here. Everyone should know how to defend themselves in battle, regardless of whether they're fighting for their country or whatever.]

[Of course, she can't tell that he's thinking that...so she's a little confused.] Hmm? What's good?

It's good that you can defend yourself. [He figured it'd be obvious.]

Oh, of course. My archery really helped during the battle a few weeks ago. At least, I like to think so.

You mean the fight outside the barrier? [Hello, curiosity piqued. He wants more info on that unpleasant business.]

Yes, that one. I was one of the volunteers.

Tell me about it. [He's oh so polite.]

[B| She notices.] Well...what do you want to know?

Anything you can tell me. The place you were sent, the enemies you faced, those you worked with. Any particular details that stick out in your mind.

[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.]

[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.]

Did you agree to fight, too?

No. It's not my war yet- they have nothing I want.

Oh, I see. I just...I wanted to be there, so my friends could count on me. I didn't ask for anything.

None of my allies were going. [And he's hoping they never will. The wars of other people don't interest him.]

Oh...I understand. [Well, she's just going to adjust her quiver a bit. Asch is kind of scary.] W-well, it was really nice meeting you, but I should probably be heading off. I have some things I need to take care of.

[Asch shrugs dismissively, turning back to what he's doing. I'M SO SORRY REBECCA ;_; HE'D BE NICE IF HE KNEW HOW. Honest.] I appreciate the information you shared.
