[Asch didn't understand... Luke knew he didn't, too. He's probably babbling... If Guy were here, he'd get it even if Luke was trembling and unable to speak properly.

I wish Guy was here. That thought is also unwilling, and also pops up at the worst of times. Luke wills that thought away. Asch was here... Asch was here and doing his best to talk to Luke despite him looking as pathetic as the insults Asch would bite him with. He even curled his hand a little...

Now that that's off of Luke's chest, he's starting to calm down a little. He still cries quietly, but he finally does loosen his hold and pull back enough to sit on his heels, looking down at the floor and wiping the back of his arm across his face - only to wince when he comes across a gash.]

S-Sorry. I should go - sh-shower now.

[Asch gives Luke a quiet glance for a moment, lips tightly pursed, then lifts a hand, eyes closing. A faint glow appears around them, magic flowing, and shortly after, Luke should feel a healing sensation. It doesn't last long - Asch is already tired - but it ought to leave the injuries pretty well closed over.]

...Don't bleed all over the floor. [His voice is quiet, a mixture of weariness and exasperation. He's not a dad, he's not a nursemaid, he's not your friend.

He's just... doing this for now. Because someone has to.

That's all.]

[Luke makes a soft noise of confusion and surprise once he sees the glow and feels that healing sensation. The gashes become cuts, the bruises disappear - the one covering his face and neck lessens, anyway, to his jawbone instead. He just feels... much better. No longer as miserable, anyway, like everything hurt.

He looks up at Asch as the magic fades, hears that tone in his voice. Yeah... he thinks he gets it, no matter how much it hurts to think it. But still... Asch stepped up when someone had to. He could have pushed him away and told him to shower again... but he didn't. He was there when Luke needed him.

It's enough.

For the first time in days, Luke smiles. It's just slightly pathetic - he smiles more on one side than the other thanks to the ache in his cheek and how down he's still feeling, and it wavers a little, but it's still there.]

... Right. Thanks.

[As he slowly gets to his feet, his right knee shakes a little, and he has to pause in his ascent before he straightens and heads back to the restroom, trying to hide how he favors his left leg.]

[He doesn't hide it well, but then again, Luke has never been good at hiding anything, really. Even without their link, it's obvious.

...Stupid replica.

He's done all he can for now, though- maybe all he can do, period. So once Luke disappears from view, Asch heads for his own room, shutting the door and aiming to flop right on the bed. He'll need a good rest after the last few days, even if he has a feeling neither of them will get one tonight.]
