[An easy question, with only a handful of reasons for why it was being asked. Sizing him up, perhaps?
With how much Asch has visibly aged, Guy would be surprised if someone hadn't spilled about what had gone on in Auldrant by now. The redhead might be brash and snippy, but he wasn't entirely stupid. He listened. It was likely he at least caught on, if he really was from a timeline before him.
It's an "if". Might as well break that. But he still keeps it to the basics.]
The Planet Storm stopped not too long ago. There were plans underway from both Malkuth and Kimlasca to infiltrate Eldrant, but no major actions had started. Not yet, anyway.
Pretty sure that's where you were headed, too.
[Although he hadn't shown his face since their final conversation. He'd made it clear that Eldrant would be a final stand, in a sense - for him, for Luke, and for their sense of identities. Or, well, Asch's sense of identity. Luke had pleaded enough for Guy to feel the kid had already separated himself from Asch a while ago, in theory.
Leaving it to blows didn't sit well with Guy, but he at least acknowledged that it was important. Asch wouldn't have declared his motivations otherwise. It was an act that could stir some change, and hopefully settle the mess that Asch's sense of self had become.
Now the question is... which Asch is he speaking to? The one before, or the one after?]
