Natalia's gone back.

[And he's... not sure how he even feels about that, especially since it's the second time now. He's not the sort to broadcast his feelings on the matter anyway, so he'll leave it at that.]

[Locked to Dist - 75% Unhackable]

If you've prepared everything you need, it's about time we meet.

[Asch won't be around the house much

Comments

[You may find a familiar face at the Battle Dome when you get there Asch. Tear has decided to take advantage of the simulations to not only keep her skills up to par, but to relieve herself of the frustrations of the past few weeks. Natalia leaving just happened to be the too much for now.]

[mirrorbirth]

[Asch is in something of a somber mood, having just finished up with Dist, and the cheagle with him doesn't look any happier. He does notice one of the simulators in use, though, so for a good distraction he heads up to the viewing level to watch.

...Huh, he hadn't expected it to be Tear.]

[seleniahymn]

[The simulations go on for a little while longer, Tear carefully planning out Fonic Hymns against the last series of wolves coming toward her and using physical force when needed. It isn't until she is done and notices the flash of red out of the corner of her eye that she realizes there's someone watching her.

Staring right at you now, Asch. What do?]

[mirrorbirth]

[Stare right back for a moment... and then turn around and start walking down the steps. Maybe if he's lucky he'll get out of the building before she decides to try talking with him >_>]

[seleniahymn]

[Asch, your luck is never that good. Any other day she would have left you alone, but today isn't like any other day, and from what she knows of Luke, you're very likely moping about.

So she is following you, yes. :|a]

[mirrorbirth]

[DAMMIT and he'd been so hopeful. He turns back as he hears her, eyes narrowed.]

What do you want?

[...His chances of looking even vaguely menacing (pathetic as they may be) are kind of undermined by the fact that he has a cheagle clinging to his shoulder.]

[seleniahymn]

[... You're lucky she notices Star just now, so she's snatching that cheagle from you whether you like it or not. Even though her expression doesn't soften much.]

... I've been looking for him.

[mirrorbirth]

[...That is not what he expected to happen.]

Looking for who, the cheagle?

[seleniahymn]

Yes, and the rest of you as well. [It's rather easy to notice when no one else home, not even the cheagle.]

[mirrorbirth]

Well, you've found me. Good for you. And I'll ask again- what?

[He's clearly not overflowing with patience today. Less so than usual.]

[seleniahymn]

Is it wrong to express some concern? [You may be 'used to it,' but Natalia is the first person she was close to to have left Luceti.]

[mirrorbirth]

I don't need your sympathy. [Or anyone else's.]

[seleniahymn]

Sympathy and concern are not always the same thing.

[mirrorbirth]

I don't need any concern, either. I'm fine. It doesn't bother me.

[seleniahymn]

If you say so. [...] Are you here to release frustrations, then?

[mirrorbirth]

I'm here to take care of my own business. [God, so nosy, Tear.]
