[It's morning, and Asch is paying a visit to the smithy to look into getting his Maestro sword sharpened; it's been a while, and you can only do so much without giving it a proper filing. While he's there waiting for his request to be processed - or waiting for a free spot in the workshop to do it himself if necessary - he browses around the store

[That someone specific is at House 5 and is -predictably- cleaning. He loves these clothes washing/drying machines so much that maybe if they didn't need them so badly he'd be dismantling them.

Anyway they make work a lot easier and he's humming as he folds clothes like a good housewife when Asch arrives.]

[Yeah, Asch expected that much- Guy's always doing chores one way or another. It doesn't take him long to track Guy down, rapping his knuckles on the doorframe to get his attention.]

[Guy glances up, pausing in mid-fold of one of Luke's shirts. He's a little surprised to see Asch voluntarily seeking him out; though he's come home Asch has generally been avoiding Guy, not that he could blame him for it.]

Asch, hey. Did you need-... [Guy trails off when he catches sight of the sword in Asch's hands, fingers clenching around the shirt.]

[Asch doesn't bother commenting or responding, understanding what Guy's probably feeling as soon as the other man halted. Instead, he lifts the sword to offer it out. No sense in stating the obvious.]

[there is a small child playing in the snow that Asch passes. Sitting in a cleared area is her doll. But she stops her snow-sculpting and looks up at him, blinking at the way he walks and the expression on his face. Is he going to kick one of her little snow people? There isn't enough to make a big one, and they're sort of in the way...]

[...What. Does he look like some kind of monster, Nephry 8| Asch halts when he spots her and the little decorations she has going on, peering at her and trying to figure out why she looks so familiar. He doesn't usually pay much attention to the kids in the village, so it's weirding him out that his mind is trying to put a name to the face. Well, whatever. Ignoring that, he instead starts looking for a reasonable path through the little snow things. The last thing he wants to do is make her cry or something, then he'd have to find someone to deal with her and ugh.]

[look at that tall grumpy man.]

If you come around this way I made a path, sir.

[If Asch could read minds he'd be tickled that someone found him tall.

...well alright it might make his lip twitch or something. He does nod and step forward, keeping an eye on the little snowmen.]

Why are you making these in the middle of the path? Someone's going to crush them.
