11 Ringy-Dingy [accidental video post]

[The PCD turns on to show Asuna sitting on one of the lower limbs of a large tree near Whipstaff. It is early evening and a soft breeze is rustling the colorful leaves around Asuna. She is obviously lost in thought- not bothered by the chill in the night air. She has found some warmer clothing at last and is now sporting blue jeans, a t-shirt, and ( Read more... )

[...so here comes Negi, bundled in a heavy button-up long coat, similar to the one Asuna is used to him wearing, complete with a dark red and gold scarf.]

...Asuna-san, it's a little chilly to be climbing trees, isn't it?

[[OOC: Awwww!]]

[Asuna jumps a little as she is pulled out of her own thoughts and back into reality. She scowls briefly before she realizes who it was who called out to her- when she does a smile creeps across her face.]

Hey, Negi.

[ooc: It's the cutest thing :D]

[He returns the smile with one of his own, a fairly big one.]

What are you doing up there?

[[OOC: It really is!]]

[She shrugs.]

I like the view- the leaves and stuff. It's pretty.

[He puts his hands into his pockets, looking up at the sky, littered with still emerging stars.]

I would take you up into the air for a better view, but Al told me that I shouldn't fly very high for a while.

But...this place seems to be on-par with Wales as far as Autumn goes. The leaves are very pretty!

[She chuckles a little.]

You're grounded, hmm? What did you do to yourself this time?

[She reached down and offered a hand.]

Can you manage being hauled up here?

N-no, it's not that, it's just a safety issue!

But yes, I think I can. It's not very high up.

[He reaches up to take her hand, putting a foot on the trunk of the tree to help himself up.]

Safety?

[She pulls him up fairly easy. He's not all that big still and she's strong for being only fourteen. She waits for him to settle in (making sure he isn't going to fall or something) before looking up at the sky.]

Is there something about flying high here that could hurt ya?

[He makes sure he's not going to fall himself, leaning against the trunk of the tree and looking up at the sky as well.]

Mm, no, I've done it here before. Just, with Envy...he doesn't know what I look like, so I don't want to attract attention to myself. He could use my face to trick Al and hurt him.

Really? Jeez, I hadn't even thought about that. [Insert momentary panic...] Envy has seen me... on the PCD back when I was trying to help him with his PCD.

[She mentally kicks herself over and over- how could she have been so stupid?]

Asuna-san, how could you--

[Oh, right, this Asuna was new. She didn't know. Mental facepalm.]

...i-it's okay. Um. As long as he doesn't associate you with Al...

I... mentioned something about Ed to him. That I knew him.

[Her heart is sinking fast...]

I'm sorry. I didn't tell him anything about Whipstaff.

[Okay, real facepalm this time.]

U-um...did he get your name?

If...if it comes down to it, I can change your age with an illusion spell. I learned it for just this reason.

[She sighs.] Yes, he knows my name but he only thinks I know of Ed from the network. I got the feeling from him as soon as I mentioned Ed that he... changed so I just commented I would have to use the insult he gave me if I ever saw Ed on the network again.

[In all fairness- she gave Envy her name before Al warned people about him.]

I don't think I'm anyone Envy thinks he can use to hurt Ed or anyone else.

He's a shapeshifter, Asuna-san. You would be surprised. But at least we can ask you to use your Artifact as proof that it's really you. Al said that abilities can't be copied.

If he doesn't think that you're associated with them, just that you know them...maybe it will be okay. I've already accidentally let on that I'm close to Al, though.

[He pulls out his PCD, queueing up a conversation completely in audio, letting Asuna listen.]

[Asuna listens to the audio before saying anything else. When it is done playing she looks at Negi, her expression one of compassion.]

Negi... It's natural to miss someone when they're gone. It's not selfish. As for your father...

[She sighs, looking up into the branches above.]

You've been looking for him all your life. Remember how you told me his Pactio card was still valid? How could that be if he was dead?

[She puts an arm around Negi's shoulders and gives him a gentle squeeze.]

In some ways you've grown up a lot from the Negi I knew but in other ways... you're still a little runt.
