[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Once again Emil is out wandering around the village, although this time he's got his chimera Sial at his heels. Sial is carrying a small stick in his mouth, and every so often he'll run over to Emil and nudge at the boy's leg until Emil reaches down to take the stick and toss it halfheartedly for Sial to fetch. There's clearly something on his mind at the moment if his downcast expression is any indication.

If you happen to pass the pair, Sial might come bother you to see if you'll throw the stick for him.]

[OOC: Phonetagging for the rest of the afternoon, I just wanted to get this up before the event.]

[oh boy. Sheena crouches down and motions to Sial first, taking the stick and tossing it pretty far before looking up at Emil]

What's up this time?

[knightofratatosk]

Huh? Nothing, it's just... [Deflection tactic go!] ... they just kidnapped Yuri.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I heard. He'll be back.

[her eyes narrow at him. Look, she's got all her vision back and even without it Emil reads like a kids' book most of the time]

Don't lie to me.

[knightofratatosk]

... I'm still worried about Luke and Asch.

[Which is true; he's concerned about what effect that whole being-merged-and-separated thing has had on them. He's also concerned about what it means for him and Ratatosk.]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah? What happened with them?

[knightofratatosk]

You didn't know? The Malnosso kidnapped them both and then...

[He pauses.]

Um, you know about what Luke is, right?

[corrinesbell]

They kidnapped me too. [you derp. Sheena will toss the stick for Sial again and then stand up - it's weird talking up at Emil]

I know some stuff. Depends on how much you know.

[knightofratatosk]

About him being a replica.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, what about it? What'd they do?

[she is eternally sorry for playing you this way]

[knightofratatosk]

They... they turned him and Asch into one person. Something about "fonons;" I don't really understand how it works, but Luke and Asch both disappeared and became... someone else. It's like he was both of them and neither of them at the same time. I didn't like it at all...

[corrinesbell]

So you're worried 'cause they're stuck as one person?

Can the Malnosso do that?

[knightofratatosk]

[He shakes his head.]

That's just it-- they're not one person anymore. But I'm worried that it might have... I don't know, done something bad to them.

[corrinesbell]

How'd they get split apart again?

[knightofratatosk]

Luke did something with fonons, I think. I don't know exactly what happened.

[corrinesbell]

So you're worried that something bad's gonna happen from all this? ...Yeah, well, I'd be worried too.

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. And I don't know if there's anything anyone can do.

[corrinesbell]

So then worrying about it must be helping you somehow, huh?

[knightofratatosk]

N-no, but--

[corrinesbell]

Hey, don't yell at me. It's not doing you any good and you just said there's nothing you think you can do.

[knightofratatosk]

... but I'm still worried. They're my friends.

[corrinesbell]

Of course you're worried. But if you sit around and just worry that's not gonna help anything.

[knightofratatosk]

I tried, but Asch didn't want me helping him.
