[Luke's expression turns crestfallen, until it slowly morphs into confusion. Asch isn't looking at him, so who...?
Luke glances behind him, and... ah. He sees now. Guy caught up with him, and now...
... Dammit. Why did he have to follow him? Why did Asch have to feel like he was being blamed for this? It's not like Luke wanted this. If anything, he'd rather be the one isolated like this than Asch.
He frowns down at the ground for a moment, then reaches out both hands to hold Asch's shoulders.]
I'm sorry. [It's directed at both Guy and Asch.] But I will count on it. You're my friend, Asch. I'm not giving up on you or leaving you alone for anything.
[action!!] YEAH, JERK
