[ On her way back to her and Asch's room, Luke happened across a little Asch (unspokengrief) and is now carrying him along with her. The poor thing is quiet and still other than his shaking, even with her attempts to calm him by petting his hair. ]

I wonder if they all were like this initially..

[he's clinging a bit now that she's walking with him, and watching where they're going, a bit dazed]

[fononfailure]

It's alright, Asch. We're going somewhere safe.

[unspokengrief]

...why...?

[fononfailure]

So no one can hurt you. I know the pain you've been through. I don't want you to feel that anymore.

[unspokengrief]

I deserve it...

[fononfailure]

No, you don't. Mother would be sad to hear you saying such things..

[unspokengrief]

No she wouldn't... she hurt me too...

[fononfailure]

...how did Mother hurt you..?

[unspokengrief]

...She replaced me...

[fononfailure]

*hugs him tightly.* They didn't know, Asch.

[unspokengrief]

...That doesn't make it hurt less... [doesn't even react to the hug]

[fononfailure]

...I know. I'll help you with that pain.

[unspokengrief]

...How?

[fononfailure]

*smiles at him, brushing some of his hair back.* If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here to listen. Or if you want a hug, or even just someone near so you aren't alone.

[unspokengrief]

...I'm not supposed to talk about it...

[fononfailure]

I know that's what he said, but it would really be best if you did. Maybe I can tell you about the things he told me I wasn't supposed to talk about.
