Characters: Open to all
Location: Clinic
Rating: Gen...?
Time: November 17 onwards
Description: Death City has survived to see another day, although not all of its residents came out of it unscathed. List of relevant links to the event here.

The patients had been moved carefully back to the clinic that morning, after the scouts had come back to report that all the kishin eggs had left the perimeter of Death City. Shibusen's hallways and classrooms were not adequate as facilities for medical activity, after all.

There had been a slight shortage of space in the beginning, but with a good amount of the patients being discharged before the day was over, the clinic was coming to some semblance of a peaceful place once again. The thin 'walls' and curtains between the rooms were all that kept the patients separated from each other, but so far, no fights had broken out. Thank Shinigami for that, eh?

[ooc: Just indicate the general date and time on your thread headers. Any day/time is fine, as long as it's from November 17 onwards.]

She was definitely the kind of person to do that, yes. But she's also not in the habit of lying to friends, so unless she starts saying things like "I will be fine" or "don't worry about me" she was probably okay.

She noticed that, and it's comforting to see.

"I'm glad." Then, "Who's Asch?"

That was kind of what Luke figured, and why he wasn't going to press the issue.

"Asch? He is my original... I did mention that to you before, didn't I?" He looks a little confused, more because he can't remember if he told her about being a copy or not.

Aqua thought about it for a moment.

"...I don't think so."

"Oh... well, I'm actually... I was made as a copy of Asch. He was originally Luke, but when I was made I was returned from a kidnapping instead of him, I was called Luke and raised. Since I was a copy I didn't have the memories of the original Luke, so I had to be taught everything new. That was seven years ago." Luke explained, trying not to get too much in there, but still let her know the important things; he trusted her and didn't feel afraid of telling her the truth.

"But anyway, he is here and I've been keeping an eye on him, that is why I'm around."

"That must have been difficult for you." it was never easy to deal with memory loss, she knew that much as someone whose friend had suffered the same.

She was, naturally, curious about the concept of someone being a copy of another...but she wasn't about to pry into that anymore than she needed to.

"So you and Asch are from the same world?"

"The hardest part of it all was learning the truth... but in a way it helped things... seems to be putting everything in place." He gave her a smile to tell her he was telling the truth, it really wasn't that bad at all.

"Same world, yes, but from different times, he is from later than I am."

She'll take his word on it, then.

"Later..." she leaned back, remembering the boy who didn't even come up to her waist, who was now just as tall as her, "BREW really likes to make these things complicated, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, but... I think I may have been worse off here if Asch had been from my time, or hadn't been here. He told me that Guy, my friend that I feel so bad about not trusting and was so hurt by losing, that he won't stay mad at me. He even gave me something to work towards; the me in his time has been able to get Asch to see him as an equal... and I want that too, so I have something to work hard towards." He smiled at her brightly. "I think in a way it tries to see that everyone has something to aim for or work hard to see taken care of."

His smile was a little infectious.

"...that's wonderful."

"What about you Aqua? What makes you work hard?"

She fell silent for a moment.

That was...a question she hadn't considered in a while. Before the Mark of Mastery exam she definitely would have told him, "To achieve the dream my friends and I shared." But she's already reached it, hadn't she? And afterwards...afterwards she'd lost everything. What did she have to fight for any more?

"I want to keep the promise I made to my friends." There was a faraway look in her eyes that had nothing to do with fatigue, "I want to be strong enough to keep them safe."

"That's a wonderful goal." He smiles at her softly. "I learned how important friends really were when I lost mine..."

"But they're not lost forever. You said so, right? You can still get them back."

"Yeah, I guess I just miss them a lot right now. I kind of feel like I need them around, they are always the ones who know what to do when something happens."

"...friends are like that." She managed to smile a little.

"I hope to making things right again soon..." He smiles at her.

"You can do it."

She blinks sleepily, then reaches up to rub at her eyes. It seemed she still needed to rest.

"Thanks Aqua."

He notices her action and smiles softly. "You should probably get some more rest, I'll leave you so you can sleep."

"...sorry."

"Don't be sorry... just get some rest and feel better."

He looks like he is ready to leave, but pauses for a moment, his cheeks reddening a little before he gives her a quick kiss on the cheek and runs out, his face now bright red.

"I will."

She was too tired to catch the way he stopped before leaving, and she just missed his blush...but she definitely noticed the kiss.

Her face flushed red, and for a moment the ability to string together any kind of words together into something coherent was lost to her. In fact, she was even having trouble stringing together any kind of coherent thought...because, what?
