[Voice / Action]

I'm looking for an experienced weapon-based fighter who's not afraid to risk their life in a spar. I prefer swordsmen, but what I need right now is someone who can attack from a distance, dodge effectively, and defend themselves.

I won't lie and say it isn't dangerous. Don't offer if you're afraid of getting hurt.

...That's it.

[Go go awkward! And since Asch is just itching to get out of the house - awkward home situation is awkward - he'll be spending most of the afternoon/evening in the bar, practicing his drink mixes and trying to get a better feel for bartending. He's feeling just as socially clumsy as ever but a recent confidence boosting has him sort of... cheerful. Well, his version of cheerful, which is more or less just >:| with less > but hey. Baby steps. He's up for bothering and might actually be decently talkative. ....Just don't hold your breath.]

[Hi Asch hi! Your most favorite pigtailed loli is bounding into Good Spirits right about now. She should probably take note that the staff here does rotating shifts and Guy isn't tending the bar like she expects him to.]

[Favourite, what. Asch lifts his head as she shows up, brows furrowing as he recognizes her right away. Wonderful, he needed another troll in his life right now.]

[Well do you know any other pigtailed lolis? No? I didn't think so. ~~or do you--~~]

[Anise looks around for a moment, before going right up to Asch at the bar with a sigh.]

I guess Guy isn't here.

[Wow, Anise, could you be any more obvious that you'd rather have someone else tonight 8|]

He's back at the house, if you want to see him that badly.

I was wondering if he and Dist were done with Tokunaga. That's all.

[You get a skeptical look for that one, bb.]

They're fontech freaks, and they haven't had much to play with for months. I doubt you'll get it back anytime soon.

[Another sigh.]

That's true... Well, if it makes them happy, I guess.

If you're that bothered by it, go talk to Guy. [And don't sit here complaining to him.]

Boo, I'm not bothered! [Just impatient.] And Guy promised that they wouldn't do anything too weird to Tokunaga, so.

[But they're taking so long. :(]

[...I-is he supposed to care. |D]

So why are you here?

[Yes, gdit.]

[And she's here because she really misses her doll, but she's not about to admit that to him. Even if she already kind of did.]

Um. Maybe I wanted a drink?

Then order already.

[Geez, Anise, you're weird.]

[She makes a face at him, just because she can, before propping her elbows up top on the counter.]

I'll have coffee with the chocolate and caramel, then! With extra whipped cream~ [Protip: give her decaf.]

This is supposed to be a bar, not a diner. Aren't you a little young for coffee?

[He'll probably think of it in a minute; for the moment, he just goes to boil the kettle anyway.]

Hey, Guy's the one who recommended it to me! And besides, what else can you even get me, huh? [And not even asking how old he thinks she is, anymore, pfft.]

[Teenagers just shouldn't drink coffee, they get too wired 8| While he waits on the kettle, though, he gets together the rest of the ingredients and gets to making the cream.]

Kids are supposed to drink milk or something.

Oh, I do drink milk! Every morning.

[...] I'm not a little kid, though!

Hm. [He's not really prepared to argue over something he cares so little about, so he just focuses on the order instead. ...Oh hey, decaf under the counter. Let's use that, shall we |D;]

[It's not like she can taste the difference. Or that she's even had real coffee before, so.]

[Still, awkward pauses are horrible, so Anise will just keep talking, here!]

So, um, Ion and Luke and the Colonel and Natalia came back! And Ion actually remembers being here! Isn't that weird, Asch?

[Well thanks, Anise, he really wanted to talk to you B| Asch looks uncomfortable again, though he does his best to conceal it. No sense in revealing too much.]

It's unusual. [And kind of unfortunate, though it saves time in explanations.]
