[Action]

[After rescuing Nephry from a sudden splashdown at the lake, Asch is understandably soaked. The return to the village had dried him off somewhat, but nothing felt better than a fresh change of clothes, so he was about to head in to do just that when the bushes by the door suddenly threw up a campfire.

...Wait, what?

A bit of frenzied digging around and a well-placed Icicle Rain later, Asch heads into the house with a little orange cheagle clinging to his head, one looking rather irritated while the other cheerily "mieu mieu"'s every other step. Someone should probably get it away from him before he explodes. Or gets set on fire. Whatever comes first.]

[That's because Luke's never heard him actually laugh before, so it kind of is. 8| But now we're taking a step back into awkward territory.]

... It was just nice to hear you laugh, I guess.

[Well it's not like anyone else gets to hear it, either; typically all people get is a stifled noise or a particularly twisty smirk. The cheagle just surprised him before he could cover it up.

So now he's stuck in a room with a replica showing some enthusiasm for this turn of events. How to react?

...

By pretending it never happened, of course! Back to the soup he goes.]

What are you going to do with it?

[That's fine with Luke, as he's sure Asch would just get annoyed if he pushed it.]

The cheagle? [He holds up a leaf, making Star jump for it to eat it.] Keep it, maybe. He wants to stay, so why not?

[So the house can be a home to yet another annoying result of replication technology? Lovely.]

If you want to keep it, then it's your responsibility.
