First Blade - Video

[This is a very unhappy Guy on the network today. Anyone who knows him or the fon Fabre boys will know that he's been gone since their disappearance, trying to find them. They're his best friends (yes Asch even you). He can't just leave them out there. He's back in Union for now, needing to get more supplies.

There is a Lillipup barking somewhere off-screen.]

Still haven't found Asch or Luke. I checked the entire forest, or as deep into it as we could get right now, and I didn't see any sign of them. I'm really starting to get worried.

[Guy sighs]

Has anyone else heard anything from them?

Have you really been looking this whole time? [ The video was from Asch's room back at the manor. He and Luke been forced into bedrest (a.k.a. GROUNDED) until further notice. ]

Luke's such and idiot, wondering so far and dragging me along. [ Whatever feelings Asch might have had yesterday were back to his normal huffy bullshit today. ] We're back, don't worry about it.

Most of it, yeah. I was the only one who could, y'know.

[He makes a noise]

You could've said "no". You do it all the time.

Yes, well, my usual retaliation was meet with my mother bawling in my ear about Luke venturing out on his own. Cordelia was busy, Natalia was busy -- and you! Hump, could have gone with him.

[ Ugh, someone's grumpy... ] Why wouldn't you answer your damn warp-band? [ -And don't give him some bullshit response. ]

I have a job, Asch. I can't just up and go because Luke wants an adventure.

[And Guy is just patient as ever]

I need to upgrade or replace my Warp Band. I don't get good signal out in the forest.

Hump-! [ Like Asch doesn't have a job too, asshole. ] Typical excuse for someone who could care less.

[ Bitter could describe our 'older' Fabre rather well. ]

Hey, I just spent two months looking for both of you! It's not my fault my band is...not in the best shape. It's pretty cheap since I got it when we realized you two had run off. Couldn't be picky.

[ He grumbles, Asch should... seem more grateful but this bossy attitude is often how the elder twin keeps his defences up. It's harder with people he knows and has known for years... ]

.... I didn't run off, Luke did. [ Blaming Luke has always been easier... ] My mother wouldn't be able to handle losing her favorite son and I was the only one around to drag him home this time.

You know Madame Susanne doesn't play favorites--your dad gets on to her for spoiling both of you.

[Give it up Asch, this is the kid who basically raised you.]

[ Never ] Hump-- Oh, I'm sure.

Are we done here? I'm r e s t i n g. [ What a lovely tone Asch carries, you just want to talk to him for hours! Resting against his comfy bed pillow, he wasn't lying this time, he could use some sleep. ]

Look, when you've had to stand there awkwardly while Crimson and Susanne argue over what orders you're to be given regarding you two, you can tell me I'm wrong.

[Poor teenaged Guy had to deal with that a lot]

Do you need anything while I'm in town?

[ He's always taken what Guy had to say... respecting his opinion, respecting him --but Asch would never show it.

Stubborn like a bull--] No thank you. [ That awful snip in his voice. ]

-And stop worrying about me, go bother Luke.

I'm worried over both of you.
