Asch.

[does he need to explain any further

god where is his other outfit]

I'll clean this mess up when I get back from the showers, alright? Just... give me a few.

[vigilantics]

[



she's just going to wander away and then come back to

drop a blanket completely over him. shhhh. ]

[menially]

[






well she gets about an arm's length away and he's just yeeting himself about three feet back with a sharp inhale]


Iiiii, a-ah---- n-no, no, sorry, Steph. Too close.

[vigilantics]

[ that

was a reaction. ]

My bad.

[menially]

Thanks...

[thank god the other two girls in here have seen this already, RIP]

It's not your fault. Sorry about that. I can't really control it sometimes.

[vigilantics]

It's cool.

Take the blanket though.

[menially]

Right, right. [taking!

ugh the lake sure smells like lake]

Couldn't he pick a fight somewhere that wasn't infested with a monster right now???

[vigilantics]

Apparently not.

At least it didn't throw you? Probably. Did it throw you?

[menially]

Damn, you caught me. Between you and me, I'm really good at hiding about fifty broken bones.

[No, Steph, it didn't throw him.]

[vigilantics]

It could have been a gentle toss.

[recrypt]

I feel like we shouldn't ask, but...

[ seriously what is up between the two of them ]

[menially]

He got ticked off and pushed me into the lake. Not much more to it then that, unfortunately.

[simple, yet so many questions remain]

[recrypt]

... It feels like any progress he might or might not have made in the mansion has vanished. Has he always been so high strung and quick tempered?

[ why is asch so intent on making people like. dislike him. he's not even at risk of being scapegoated again (yet). ]

[menially]

He sure has. Stubborn beyond a fault, on top of that.

As much of a jerk as he can be, I'd take everything he says with a lot of salt. It's not like he's entirely stupid, but that temper gets in the way of his logic a little too often.

[recrypt]

I think we've noticed... but what's the saying again? Even a broken clock can be right twice a day?

[ too bad asch uses one of those two times to be the trial clock, ring ring ]

[menially]

Hahah.... it's true. I'm sure you guys had a good dose of that at the mansion.

He's not a bad person. More like a complicated one. I think he doesn't always have a good grasp on what exactly he's feeling, and he's not the type to go talking to people about things like that. So he's a lot more prone to just spitting out whatever he thinks is right in the moment.

Maybe it's easier for him to deal with the repercussions than to hesitate.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[HEAVY SIGH.]

Why does he insist upon acting this way... [seriously, asch??] ...are you injured? Or simply waterlogged?

[menially]

He's always been like this, unfortunately. [Angry and stupid.] Pretty sure the only thing hurt is my ego, Flayn, don't worry.

I'll need to head over to the showers. This is the third time I've gotten soaked through like this since the start of the week, so honestly? I'm surprised I haven't caught something.

[fishingforcompliments]

...perhaps you ought to warm up by the bonfire? It may help.

[menially]

Not a bad idea, though I'm not sure I'm a big fan of smelling like the lake. [let him get Clean]

Would you like to come keep me company once I'm back, though?

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh... certainly, if you would like.

[menially]

It's a date, then. [guy dont say it like that]

I'll meet you out by the fire in just a little bit, alright?

[fishingforcompliments]

...a date?

[hm. actually. flayn's expression falls.]

I am sorry. I cannot go on any dates tonight!

[menially]

Wh-- [Oh. Pffffftsdfksjd.] Ahahahah, Flayn, Flayn, I'm joking...!

If you really don't want to, that's fine. I wasn't being serious.

[fishingforcompliments]

Sitting outside by the fire with you is fine.

...as long as you were joking and it is truly not a date!
