[Voice / Action]

Natalia's gone back.

[And he's... not sure how he even feels about that, especially since it's the second time now. He's not the sort to broadcast his feelings on the matter anyway, so he'll leave it at that.]

[Locked to Dist - 75% Unhackable]

If you've prepared everything you need, it's about time we meet.

[Asch won't be around the house much today; he'll probably be home late. His main haunts today will be the Battle Dome, the library, (maybe a quick bite to eat in the plaza |D) and finally Good Spirits to ~~sulk~~ read a book in a tucked-away corner of the bar. ...Though the amount of reading may decrease depending on what he's drinking over the course of the evening...

Oddly enough, Star the cheagle will be tagging along with him over the course of the day.]

[Patience is a virtue, Asch. 8|

Thankfully. Dist doesn't take longer than about twenty minutes and he's back looking a bit hopeful. Pleased, even, if only just a little bit. Once back, he looks Asch over to make sure he was awake enough to listen. Satisfied he was, Dist begins to explain his findings.]

I'm pleased to say, Asch, that the rate of your fonons' separation is dramatically slower than I had first anticipated. It's not exact, but I estimate that you'll have quite a few years to live, if you can withstand the constant pain of your dissonance. In light of the aforementioned, I'd like to check up on you routinely, to make absolutely certain that the rate of deterioration does not increase somehow.

I can also try to give you something to numb the constant pain, but don't count too much on that, I'm not a pharmacist.

[Years? Asch blinks at that, genuinely surprised. Not just one or something, but quite a few. It's a strange thing to imagine, especially when he'd felt his body already falling apart in Eldrant, only moments before he'd been brought to Luceti... is it this place? Because of Luceti itself? Or had his previous death given him some sort of extra time? The whole thing is baffling, and while he's not entirely sure he can even trust Dist or his research, an untrustworthy answer (an optimistic one, at that) is better than just... not knowing.

Belately he recalls that Dist had mentioned painkillers, and he nods slightly after some hesitation. He's doing his best to conceal it, but he'll probably be in shock for a while.

HIS MIND, SHE IS BLOWN.]

...Can you estimate what'll happen to my replica?

[Looking up from what he had recorded from going over Asch's blood work (to make sure everything was correct), Dist gave Asch a searching glance. It was very peculiar to hear Asch wondering about his replica in any sense, especially the replica's well being, but he'd remark about that some other time. It didn't have any relevancy to what they were discussing now, after all.]

Not without something to work with... I can't do anything with nothing, you see, especially since I've been forbidden to involve anyone but you, Asch. ...Though, if you can get me a sample - blood, hair, whatever - I can do my best to analyze it and give you whatever information I come up with.

[Rrrm. Back to that again, huh. Asch glances away for a moment, then nods.]

I'll bring you something. You can use that.

Very well. Whenever you acquire it, inform me immediately. [He pauses for a brief second, thinking to himself with a low hum.] And I'd like to schedule another meeting with you sometime in the future as well. Any time you're available, Asch? Or in a few months, perhaps?

Just tell me when you want me to come back, and I'll be here. You're the scientist.

Well, the moment you get a sample from your replica, deliver it to me and I'll get back to you like I said. As for you yourself...two months should be good enough time.

[Asch nods, sliding off the bed and bending his arm a few times to see how it feels. Decent enough, it seems; he hadn't wanted to lose feeling or let what Dist was doing make him ill.]

Is that all?

Yes, that should be all.

[He heads over toward the exit, opening the door there and motioning for Asch to promptly get out. 8| There's only so much Dist can stand of the jerk.]

[Asch isn't about to linger- Dist is the last person in the world he'd want to just "hang out" with. He retrieves Star - first by trying to coax the animal away from the lettuce, then just picking him up, ignoring the surprised yelp - and heads out the door ~~to go do battle with his stupid replica and get that blood sample~~.]
