Night 48: M21-30 Hallway

Mar 22, 2010 07:06

Shinji was worried. He'd been waiting for a while - Kaworu still hadn't arrived. He didn't know why and as always his insecurities had begun to flare up. Maybe he'd changed his mind. Maybe he didn't really want to see Shinji. Maybe he'd simply been hallucinating the whole thing. Shinji glanced down the darkened hallway, flashlight dangling from his ( Read more... )

[from here]He stepped into the new hall and didn't waste anytime looking for the number that Asch gave him. He knew that unless Asch moved faster than him-it was possible, but not terribly likely-he would have to have crossed paths with Luke in order to get out of the room. He felt good about this; Asch would be in there. Frustrated, but definitely in there, and they would talk about what happened. It was possible it could even be done before Guy arrived, so his best friend wouldn't have to deal with speaking to Asch ( ... )

All the same, he stepped outside of Asch's room, and waited for Guy. It didn't seem like whoever was sleeping stirred at all, so Luke had a feeling he wouldn't even know that someone visited. Really, it was probably best that way.

Even though the room Guy was looking for was most of the way down the hall, he was only about halfway there when he realized that Luke was standing outside what had to be M22. That seemed strange. If Asch were around, they'd either both be out here or both be inside. Unless Asch had actually locked his door to get Luke to leave him alone? Could the doors even lock from the inside?

There was no point in speculating, though. Frowning to himself, Guy adjusted everything he was carrying (flashlight and the sack of metal in one hand, short sword in the other) and picked up the pace so that he could reach Luke that much faster. He was curious now.

"What happened?" he asked once he was in earshot of his friend. "Did you not get here in time?" Guy found that hard to believe, but you never really knew with Asch.

With how determined Luke could be when it came to Asch, he knew there was no chance he got there while the other slipped out. He doubted Asch sensed him coming and hid. It wasn't like him to use tactics like that. Even when he followed him around Auldrant on that chase, which he admitted was probably pretty stupid now, Asch didn't use tactics to steer Luke in any other direction. And usually, he made time to yell at his replica for being stupid. No, it didn't seem like it could be any plainer. Asch wasn't in his room because Asch was gone-or taken, but that didn't seem like the kind of thing a roommate could just sleep through.

"That's not it," he replied, looking somewhat crestfallen. Asch's death had been reversed by this place-twice. And now that he was gone, it meant that he was either alive somewhere or ... Luke wasn't certain. Dead wasn't an option. If he was dead, Luke would know. This place didn't break their connection to that degree, and he remembered what happened before. Asch wouldn't have much strength to give, but ( ... )

The second that Luke spoke up and Guy saw that look on his face, he was pretty certain that Asch was gone. He was used to reading Luke like a book, even when his friend wasn't being totally obvious about it. It made him feel bad for mentally badmouthing the God-General just a few moments earlier, but at the same time he knew that chances were Asch wasn't actually dead. Or was he? He had died back on Eldrant, but that all seemed to have been called into question at this point ( ... )

Luke wouldn't have pushed it, anyway. He straightened up as best as he usually did and paid attention to Guy. They'd have a shot at getting an actual weapon, huh? It seemed like a nice thing to have, especially after how he felt about abandoning the Key of Lorelei again. That still remained as the one thing he wished he was able to keep from the night before. Not those thoughts, not those memories, but the Key itself. Then again, being able to contradict those thoughts now was a good thing. Maybe, under that light, it was a good thing he didn't lose them ( ... )

Luckily, Luke was aware of Guy's issues with Asch, which meant that he'd decided to leave the subject at that. Guy appreciated it, and he also chose not to say anything. This was about as certain as they could be of Asch's disappearance, but what could really be said about it? These things happened, and it was probably for the best that Luke got used to the idea sooner rather than later. Even if Asch had vanished, that didn't mean he was gone for good, which was probably why Luke seemed to be taking it relatively well. With the link that the two had, Luke would probably knew if Asch had actually died ( ... )
