.. Heh, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? [ Not that she'd lie about it either way, but this is just an easier way of confirming it right now. It's true, she's been running around all day, helping out as many people as she can.. but even if she's hurt (there's a few bruises and scrapes on her body, a slightly bigger one of the latter category on her cheek) or tired, she doesn't want to give up just yet. ]

Don't worry though, I'm okay.

[fortitudo]

[Lucas walks over to her, his gaze hardened and he's definitely not looking as.... soft as he usually is. He's worried about everyone, and of course he'll run around and assist in any way possible.]

You're hurt. [he frowns.]

[integrous]

Only a little bit. And it doesn't really hurt.

[ There's a slight smile at it. Honestly, despite the seriousness of the situation, Asahi is trying to keep some spirit up, some positive feelings she can try to spread to others. Especially since Lucas looks so different from always, she's not sure if she likes it yet.. ]

[fortitudo]

[Really, he's only like this when it calls for it, when the situation is stressful and requires careful and slow thought processes to come to the best possible outcome.

Still.... Lucas lets out a heavy sigh, smiling a little nervously at her.]

If you say so, I'm worried you're pushing yourself too hard though.

[....But the moe comes back now.]

[integrous]

[ It's a slight relief to see the moe cracking through. It means that he's okay despite everything, that it's not like this war is really changing him or anything.. so she pats him on the back - too hard, as usually. SORRY, LUCAS, SHE STILL DOESN'T KNOW.. ]

I'm fine! If I can still walk around and breathe, then I'm just fine! [ your standards, asahi. ] I have to keep working hard to protect the people I care for, right?

[fortitudo]

[he's gotten used to the smacks....]

That's good, that's what I like about you Asahi.

[integrous]

[ she's just.. helping him build strength.. that's clearly it!! ]

... Huh? [ LUCAAAS STOP SUDDENLY SAYING MOE THINGS, IT FLUSTERS HER!! ] Ah.. w-well, I'm glad! We're friends, after all, they're supposed to like some things about each other..!

[fortitudo]

I don't think there's anything I dislike about you.

[AND HE'S STILL SINGLE LADIES! COME AND GET THIS MOE RIGHT NOW FOR A LOW LOW PRICE.]

[integrous]

[ DON'T BRING UP SHIPPING ADS IN OUR TAGS RUDE. ]

.. Then you're wrong though. [ She has to honestly admit that, even if it's somewhat awkwardly.. ] There's some stuff you should dislike, but.. I guess it's fine like this too.

[fortitudo]

Oh.... well I just haven't found anything I dislike yet then.

[Derp.

He goes back over to Torterra.]

[integrous]

[ The littlest derp. ]

... You've been staying together with your Pokémon all this time? [ AT LEAST IT'S NOT FREAKING DARKRAI!! ]

[fortitudo]

Yeah, I have been. Torterra had been keeping a close eye on me.

[And he hasn't let Darkrai out, don't worry.]

[integrous]

[ Good, she would freak out.. ]

Heh, it means the two of you are protecting each other.. that's good! [ a smile. ] You shouldn't be alone during a time like this! [ yup, she's being a hypocrite again - although this time she doesn't even consciously realise it. ]

[fortitudo]

And what about you? Are you alone?

[ B| ]

[integrous]

[ DARNIT LUCAS!! ]

Huh? .. Well, this isn't really about me, is it?

[fortitudo]

[....]

Asahi, I'll ask you again- are you alone?

[integrous]

[ .. ugh, when he presses like that her own honesty streak won't let her get away from having to answer, so.. ]

I'm.. not really alone, right? I have all my friends counting on me, so.. that's exactly why I have to try my best and help as many people as possible..!

[fortitudo]

But you're alone while going to all of them...

[He frowns a bit.]

Take it from me, you can't help everyone on your own- it's okay to ask for help.

[integrous]

I'm not the one who needs any help. I'm fine, I'm just helping others out. [ Her hands nervously fumble with the jacket. ] I can't ask for help when I'm the one giving it, right..?

[fortitudo]

[....]

Okay, I'll help you.

[integrous]

.. Huh?

W.. wait, Lucas, I don't need help with anything right now! [ And she's being honest - it's Asahi, after all - but she still looks.. well, pretty surprised. ]

[fortitudo]

I don't want to leave you alone, how about that?

[IT'S TRUE.]

[integrous]

[ UWOOORGHH!! She can't go against it when he puts it like that, it'd make turning that down more awkward.. so she can't help but glace off awkwardly for a moment before she seems to calm down - enough to be able to properly answer. ]

.. If you really want to, then.. it's not like I can stop you.

[fortitudo]

[he gets up on Torterra.]

Good, that way I won't be alone either.

[Auugh Torterra grunts at that.]

...Well, with another person.

[integrous]

Yeah, we can stick together for now. [ She has other people to check up on later, but.. for now it's fine, isn't it? ]

As long as Torterra doesn't mind.
