[Asch is sitting back in a chair, drumming his fingers. He looks like he wants to say something, and starts a couple of times, before he finally lets out a sigh.]

...it's not a good time to be working for the police department right now.

[After a moment he straightens, looking directly at the NV.]I'm looking to move out of my current residence

[ His disquieted appearance on the video alone tells Caster that something is wrong. His first comments serves to brings the reported deaths of those traitorous cops to mind, but she doesn't know for certain whether that event was the leading precursor. ]

[ This time, she doesn't try to tease or jest with him as she speaks with just a hint of softness. ] I think I know a place or two. Would you like me to show you?

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

[ Caster briefly sent him a sidelong glance, gauging his reaction. ]

Oh, now, won't being all by yourself get lonely?

[Action]

[not_the_dreck]

[Asch made a face at the question, before letting out a sigh.]

I'm used to it.

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

[ It wasn't an unexpected response, but at the same time, Caster noticed that he hadn't said he enjoyed being alone either. A smile softly played across her lips, nearly like she meant her next line as a tease. ]

Hmm...I wouldn't mind moving in with you. [ Yet, she continued at calm length, seemingly serious in her offer: ] I know where almost everything is, and it wasn't too difficult for me to maintain, when I was there.

[Action]

[not_the_dreck]

[He raised an eyebrow at that, not sure what to make of her teasing.]

...I hardly know you, and the same with you in regards to me.

[And he rather keep it that way.]

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

Oh? Are you worried I'm going to poison your food?

[ She chuckled softly with amusement. After all, she didn't exactly favor poison as her preferred killing technique. ]

[Action]

[not_the_dreck]

Hmph; after going through hell to get me cured, I doubt you'd do anything that moronic.

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

Hmm...so, then, it must be me. Are you worried I'll disappear, too? How sweet of you.

[ Once more, the pleasant, even curve of her voice made it difficult to tell whether she being facetious or not. ]

[Action]

[not_the_dreck]

[Asch let out an awkward noise at that, looking away.]

Don't be ridiculous. Like I said, I barely know you.

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

Oh, now I'm hurt. [ Nonetheless, her smile remained, amusement faintly threaded through her voice. ] You rather not get to know me, even though I already know so much about you.

[Action]

[not_the_dreck]

Ha! You don't know as much about me as you think.

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

[ Caster briefly rested her chin on the back of her curved fingers. ]

Let's see...you're strong-willed to the point of being ill-natured, but you're well-intentioned and cute when you're sleeping. What else is there to know?

[Action]

[not_the_dreck]

[...Asch felt bony fingers crawling up his spine.]

...you were watching me while I slept?

[Action]

[boundbytreason]

[ Caster chuckled softly. ]

Oh, now you're getting ahead of yourself. I have to check on you some time when you were sick, you know?
