...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]

I'm surprised you can handle any at all.

No it's not-- who says amusement parks are just for kids?

[He's eighteen and he still likes them, hush.]

They're used to it.

You're a complete jerk. [But Guy still isn't letting go.]

And you should be used to that. Let go. [Tugging again.]

No. There's no point in you running off to sulk somewhere. Besides, what if something happens while you're gone?

Then I'll deal with it like always. [Asch turns his head to glare at Guy.] I'm not running off to sulk, I'm trying to get away from you.

[What a mean girl, letting Asch have that completely wrong misconception of her. |D]

Hmph. [That better not have been sarcasm.]

...I wouldn't have expected that from you. You're still a princess at heart, even in this. [He says it rather matter-of-factly.]

[No, he's like four or something :| Totally still a kid.]

Everyone knows that. They're designed around the whole concept of kids having fun.

[Guy starts, then releases Asch's pack and purses his lips, turning away.]

[...Hey.]

Just because I don't share an opinion doesn't mean I can't handle it.

[Good, he finally caved. Asch adjusts the bag and begins to walk away again.]

But why can't adults have fun too? Why do you have to stop having fun when you grow up?

[Details, details.]

[Asch gets as far as the main road before Guy runs after him again, this time circling around into his path to stop him instead of grabbing his pack.]

Don't go. Please.

[Asch's eyes narrow slightly at the second interruption - not as angry as before, but critical, as if he's expecting more from this than before.] Why?

You're asking the wrong person, Emil. [People who get forced to grow up don't exactly have a good concept of what fun is, after all.]

...I'm nasty to you. I know.

[Guy takes Asch's wrist, though not with a very firm grip.]

I'm sorry. I'll cut it out.

Asch... I'm sorry.

[THAT'S DEPRESSING, ASCH. You really remind him of Richter sometimes, especially now.]

You've said that before. [Asch doesn't resist his grip, though his eyes drift back and forth between their hands and eyes, like he isn't sure what to do yet.] And then whenever something happens, I'm the one who gets the backlash. Is that what being honest means to you?

[Actually...

No. Now's not the time.]

I'm sorry.

I told you before- you apologize too much. Something like that isn't going to bother me, so cut it out.

But when was the last time you did anything just for fun?

[Hypocrite alert? Oh yes.]

[Asch scowls again, pulling his hand away and taking another step forward as if to pass Guy- but he stops. Doesn't Guy deserve another chance?]

Well, yes. That won't change no matter where I am.

...Is it still because of me? Because of who I am?
