[001] Rebirth

[royalbitchfit]

[Sure, there is always a plethora of Lukes walking about this place, but there's probably no Luke that looks as disgruntled at this one. Truth is, he's terrified of being here, in a strange place...but really, all he can express is anger] G-guy! Stop hiding! it's not funny anymore!

Hi, Kie. |D I-I might be crazy slow, since I'm on hiatus like...everywhere.

[Even with the approaching winter months, Asch still dutifully walked to the library, checking out books and taking them back to the inn where he stayed. On his way back, nose stuck in one particular text, a glint of red catches his eye, though he doesn't think much of it. Probably just the replica.

Then the child's voice reached his ears, and Asch actually looked up. ...He should walk away. A sick feeling fills every inch of him, and he can instantly remember jumping the high walls of the manor after being thrown out on the street by the guards. And then seeing the replica, coddled by his mother and the maids, kissed and fretted over when he fell...and Natalia, reaching out to him, smiling.

It was...his fault. His. This child took everything from him. Asch should have let him suffer, let him wander the streets like he did, fighting off monsters just to get home, only to be rejected and replaced. He should let him suffer.Yet he just stands there, looks visibly conflicted, unable to look away. Asch was on the edge of a decision, and

Quite alright; I understand c:

[royalbitchfit]

Guy! [Luke screams, looking a little panicked now] I don't want to play anymore! Come out!

Thank yoooou ;A;

[ashen_knight]

[Don't look now, Luke, but another redhead is marching your way. Ignore the fact that he looks frighteningly similar to your daddy for a second, too, because Asch will stop in front of the kid, half looming over him.

What was he doing? Why was he doing it? This kid wasn't his responsibility - he shouldn't care about the dreck that took everything from him. But...perhaps because he half knew Luke wasn't entirely responsible--]

Hey. Are you lost?

I'm also epically slow >> Ay, school.

[royalbitchfit]

[As if he really could ignore that. You do look like dad, except...you look, like...a little more...]

[…]

[If he knew the word "Dainty", he'd use it. You don't look quite as big and scary as his father does, but he sees the similarity. If he's confused, it's only normal]

[royalbitchfit]

[Luke ignored all of that inner struggle, worried only in finding out his caretaker, and feel some semblance of comfort. He hugged his rappig doll tightly to himself, starting to whimper as he kept calling his name]

[royalbitchfit]

[You can't expect Luke to calm down when Guy is gone, he's in a place that he doesn't know, and to add insult to injury, now there is a strange person talking to him. Your soothing voice does nothing to calm him.]

[lilguardian]

[Tiny Luke! Have another tiny wandering around, clutching a littler Tokunaga to herself. She hears his bitchfit and stares a little.]

You're s'pposed to look for people in hide and seek, right? Why are you so mad?

[royalbitchfit]

I don't want to play anymore! This game is stupid! [He screams, looking half panicked. Of course, he likes playing, but he isn't too keen on the idea of his caretaker vanishing, or him ending up in a place he didn't know. Also, it's only now dawning on him that...there is something that he doesn't know talking to him, and not only that, it seems like a kid just like him.]

…

[lilguardian]

[Anise's thought process is something like this...]

[New kid!]

[... Noisy new kid.]

[... Noisy, bratty new kid.]

Booo, you're being loud. Games are s'pposed t'be fun.

[royalbitchfit]

[Luke's thought process is:

[Oh, look. A kid]

[Oh. Look. It's...kid]

[Wait, Why is there even a ki-]

Well, this one isn't!

/little dudes all up in this thread

[lilfonmaster]

[There's a bitty Fon Master standing a little ways behind a nearby tree. Angry Little Luke is kind of scary.]

[But a Fon Master had to be brave, right? ...right!]

Are you... looking for someone?

[royalbitchfit]

[Luke whips around when he hears that voice, looking quite...surprised to see another boy there. Last he remembered, he was in his manor, and there were no kids in the manor except him]

…Yeah?

[lilfonmaster]

[He answered! ...now what.]

Oh. [Blank stare. What would a Fon Master do next? They never really covered talking to other kids.] ...I'm sorry.

[royalbitchfit]

["Now what" was a very good question, actually. And was this kid apologizing? What for? Luke hums, not sure how to keep the conversation going]
