[The fonic link is a rather convenient tool, that much is for sure; with it, Asch can tell where Luke is in case he needs to avoid his replica- and, alternatively, whoever he's with. And in this case, it's Guy. Ever since Guy's arrival earlier this month, Asch has been mysteriously absent from the apartment he'd shared with Luke, and tonight, with Luke and Guy both out and about for the evening, he's come to a decision.
He's leaving- for good. Once the apartment is empty, he'll venture there himself, clear out his room, and leave it vacant for them to find later on. Or not find. Maybe they won't notice. Maybe they won't care.
Guy won't. He's fairly certain of that. And that- ...it doesn't bother him. He won't let it bother him.
Tsuae is displeased upon his return, of course, and Star has the nerve to try and set him on fire, but his mind is made up. Within a few hours he's packed up and ready to go. It's actually kind of sad, how few possessions he's managed to acquire over the last few years in Luceti. It'll probably only take a few trips to get it to his new place.
...Once he figures where that new place is.
People can run into him while he's in the process of moving if they so desire, though there are a couple people that, in particular, he needs to be speaking with. The area is mainly community building 2, by the way.]

...Well it's not like he ever told her.
Lips pursing, he glances away, considering his words carefully. There's no way to explain this without revealing the absolute truth, so... why bother beating around the bush?]
He was my servant. As a kid, I always thought of him as my friend. Someone I could trust and depend on. [Someone I could love.] He's Luke's best friend, too. That's why they're living together now.
[That's why Luke brought him home.]
...My father murdered his entire family.
[And that's why it isn't home anymore.]
[Action]
I'm...I'm sorry. [Haha, what else could she even say?] I-I know it's not much, but if you ever need anything at all, I'll be more than willing to help you, Asch. I...I don't think it's right, that you had to leave, but wherever you stay now, I'd like to at least be able to be there when you need me. ...If that's all right.
[Action]
Right now, though, it's just irritating. And it isn't right that he had to leave, either. But Luke had made that decision, and he's... probably better off for it. They both are. They'll be happier with each other, without him. They've both probably already smiled more often than they ever could with him around.
He really isn't meant to have a home. A family. Not like that.]
You shouldn't try to visit me. It could be dangerous, if someone sees you.
[Cryptic as it is, he doesn't really know how to explain that warning. But he just can't leave it at that, he knows.]
...I'll still be around.
[Action]
Dangerous? It'd be dangerous if she visited? Why? Where was Asch even going, to warrant that kind of response? Would he be safe? All kinds of thoughts and worries buzz angrily in her mind, and Miyabi knits her eyebrows together, sighing and leaning her cheek into one hand.]
...All right, but if it's dangerous, then I want you to be careful, too, okay? That's all I'm asking right now.
[Action]
[It's an easy response, since it had been his plan all along. No more picking fights, no more antagonizing Van. This is espionage. He won't get anywhere or gather any information by causing trouble.
And at least he's going where he's welcome.]
[Action]
Good... So long as you stay safe, Asch, I'm glad. But, if I can't see you, just know you can visit or talk to me any time, if you need it, okay?
[She smiles. If there wasn't a table between them, she may have even hugged Asch, too, but alas.]
[Action]
[Maybe he should just set aside a single day for this kind of thing. An official "Stop People From Worrying" Day. Get it all done at once.
...Is that getting too nitpicky? He's still not sure what the hell to do with this whole having-friends business.]
[Action]
If that's what it takes.
[Action]
[And now she's laughing at him... how unpromising. Then again, with how difficult it is to wrestle him out to any kind of socializing, maybe some kind of schedule might actually get him to try. Who knows.
Idly he pokes at his food, toying with a hunk of chicken before he takes a bite. ...Well at least the food is as good as ever.]
Not making any promises. ...The cherry blossom grove is a decent spot to sketch, though.
[Another bone? Take it as you will.]
