The return to the village had dried him off somewhat, but nothing felt better than a fresh change of clothes, so he was about to head in to do just that when the bushes by the door suddenly threw up a campfire

[Luke's first reaction to the cheerful little chirps is to sag his shoulders and stare with annoyance ahead of him.]

Why do you have to be so-

[And then he realizes.]

... Mieu?

[He gets up from the couch and rushes to the noise to see... an orange cheagle? And an angry cockatiel?]

... Star?

[Asch lifts his head at Luke's voice, glowering at him.] If it's yours, then get it the hell off of me already!

It's not mine. [But he'll still reach to lift the cheagle off of Asch's head and hold him in his hands. No attaching to his head for you, Star.]

Where'd you find him?

...Oh. Whoops.]

Who threw this at me? Who the hell threw this at me!? Get out here!

[ratatosk_knight]

[And there will be silence greeting him, but the core will just glow softly in response. Hi there Asch.]

[Asch glares down at the core for a moment, gripping it tightly in irritation.

Then he grumbles, turns, and pitches it away from the house about as far as he can throw it. Good riddance, stupid rock.]
