...It's too quiet outside. When is that stupid holiday again? Whatever's going on needs to end.

[Private to Natalia]

Natalia... can we talk?

[He's nervous about talking to either of them, but- shortly after that entry is out of the way, Asch will be leaving his room to look for Guy and, if she says yes, Natalia, too. Unfortunately as soon as he leaves his room, his clothes are suddenly changed to this. Let's see how long it takes for him to notice. |D]

Yeah yeah ... [light sigh] Even if they did do something like that, though, they'd probably still pick whichever ones that'd be the most annoying. Or one that nobody would care about or understand.

You didn't like it?

[Not that, you know, Emil has any memories of it to know whether he liked it or not.]

I will be fine, though it may take a little time. You and Guy are still dear friends of mine... and I will not let this ruin that.

...Probably. [That is a damn good point there.]

... Well, who knows? Maybe one day, they'll choose a nicer one for us and actually let us enjoy it -- just to throw us off.

[Ah, Natalia. You're too good, you know. He glances awkwardly to the side with a slight nod.]

I'm... glad to hear it, then.

I am sorry if I have made things difficult for you, Asch.

Why would I? It's for kids.

That's probably more optimism than I can handle.

Difficult for me? [Uh, wow. Definitely didn't expect that.] Natalia, I'm fine.

All right, that's good then.

[She's doing it on purpose. So evil.

There is something he needs to say, though- and while it takes him a moment to choke it out, he manages.]

...Thanks... for understanding.

There's no need to thank me.

You could've handled it a lot worse.

Hmm, no, I think I win on that one. But then, I'm small and cute to begin with.

[Ammo what ammo. She denies everything.]

Then maybe you shouldn't have waited a week to accuse me of avoiding you, because I don't know what you're talking about.

[Guy removes himself from Asch's space and goes back to practicing.]

...It's because I told you I might be sick again, isn't it?

[It's a shot in the dark, but the timing works. It's painful to consider, but... is that really how it is?]

Is this your answer?

That's one contest I'm not going to cry over losing.

I don't avoid people because I find out they're dying. [He just gets pissed when they lie to him about it.] You really think I'm that lousy?

Maybe not. But apparently you do avoid people if you're not the first one to know. Or is your behaviour around me suddenly changing just a coincidence?

Contrary to popular belief, I don't have to share everything that goes through my head with you. If you want to believe I'm that petty, you go right ahead.

[Back to practicing.]

[Asch snarls at that, charging forward and shoving Guy back against a tree, eyes flashing with frustrated anger.]

Then why the hell do you expect that of me!?

[Guy takes the assault rather well, grunting when he hits the tree and tightening his fingers around the hilt of his katana so he doesn't drop it.

He lifts his chin and glares down at Asch.]

I don't need you to share everything that goes through your head because you come out here and scream it at me whether or not I even ask for it. I don't expect anything out of you Asch; I don't ask anything of you. The only thing I've ever asked of you is to look after me, but if I'd known you were sick I wouldn't have even bothered doing that.

[Asch is nearly trembling now, his grip not faltering for a second.]

I don't get you. I don't get you at all! Why does it have to be conditional for you!? You'll accept my help, but only if I'm healthy? What kind of one-sided bullshit is that!?

It's not a condition, it's common courtesy. You don't ask a sick person to look after you.

[Guy tugs a bit at Asch's grip.]

If you're done being unreasonable I'd like you to let me go.
