Icicle Rain, which has been used on him several times by Redheads.
A female voice. So far, he's only known one person that has this combination, and he's met them here. Throwing on a grin, the Emperor of Malkuth strolls up, behind the Asch and clears his throat.]
Beautiful, where've you been all my life? [No, that deathwish still hasn't gone away.]
[There was only one emperor that he had met here. Which led to a... strange... encounter that had to do with drinking and taking off their clothes. And don't think that Asch forgot about that. On the contrary, he still remembers what he could from that day, and the blade from his sword is now directly aimed toward Peony.
However, there isn't that usual irritation, but a slight smile and laugh that follows.]
What can I say? I'm just lucky. [Being a martial artist helps too, a little. Along with good looks, charm, a way with words, and an ego that'll crush any opposition flat just out of principle.]
You're still the best-looking thing here I see. Must be working yourself to the bone. [Peony returns the smile, and shrugs after a moment.] How've you been?
[The blade drops to Asch's side. Likely due to the soft spot he had for this particular Emperor. He did, however, want to beat his face in for the usual flirting. If only because it made him quite flustered and not sure how to react to them.]
You're far too kind. [The tone of his voice definitely did not match his words.] I've been fine, I guess.
[He shrugs, it's a good question, but everything seems jumbled together. Surely he's been training too, but, well, he's been trying to get home, but no matter how many Jades the man has met; all had the same answer. There wasn't a way home.]
Oh, I've been great. Missin' you. [he grinned] How's training?
[Asch is two seconds away from punching that grin off his face, it's not even funny. Though, after many, many years of practicing manners and how to communicate to nobles and ... Well, Peony, he holds back the urge and just smiles faintly.]
How nice of you to miss me. [He missed you too but HEY] Fine, I guess. Same as any other day of training.
[A shrug, and the sword is stabbed into the grass.] Perhaps you would like to be a training dummy?
[Said Emperor strikes a pose; getting into the fighting spirit.] Well, what's the most questionable think I can ask you to do? I think that's a good start~
[Oh ho ho, now things are starting to look a bit interesting. Asch always wanted a moving practice dummy to fire off icicles at. This would prove to be fun.] I won't lose to someone like you. So think of whatever you want.
[WAIT WAIT. Asch stops dead in his tracks, and gives him the utmost look of disdain. The urge to punch him was rising, once again, because, surely he wasn't serious? ... Hopefully?]
Unless you're that four-eyes dressed up as the Emperor, then no. [Asch shrugs, and both mentally, and physically prepares.] You can have the head-start. I feel generous today.
[Asch was old, but Asch was still very skilled in the art of dodging. Especially with a move like that, he simply jumped back and shot a smile toward the Emperor. Almost mockingly, but it was definitely a smile from hanging out with Jade for far too long.]
Sir, you make me feel bad for fighting with a sword. Should I make this fair?

[Though, considering it's Asch, Peony raises feels the need to add on to this question.] Besides a scar?

[Asch laughs, and the blade goes straight toward the Emperor once more. Smirking, and ready to strike.] What do you want your award to be?

[Taking a few steps back, Peony grins.]
Another night tonight then, now, whenever the lady is ready~ [He definitely intended to win if for no other reason than to mess with Asch.]

You're joking, right?

You'll find out if I win~ Since you said there's no chance I would, right?

[With her permission, Peony dashes forward, dropping low to sweep her legs out from under her. He does need to see exactly what he's dealing with.]
