probaby just after the Meropide raid | action

[Ash didn't go too far into the prison, feeling weirdly exhausted, so he didn't know about the files in the main office.

At least not until later, when Pat hands him his.]

Shit. They got one on you?

[infezione]

Well, they did. I just went ahead and set mine on fire after seeing Ardyn burn his.

[switchaxe]

Yeah? Didja read it first?

[He can't resist. He starts to flip through his, curious.]

[infezione]

... Yeah. Just a lot of confirming what I already knew. Easy to keep in line, great asset if they could ensure my loyalty, temper's a pain in the ass... Wanting me to be a living bioweapon.

[switchaxe]

Tch.

[Ash comes across the summary of his powers and personality.

And feels sick. He reads it out loud, almost like he's hoping it'll be fake if he does.]

"Possessor a risk. Possible candidate for Meropide should he be lost to the possession."

[infezione]

... Fuck.

[Because really, what else is there to say about that. He leans against Ash a little.]

[switchaxe]

Fuck them. You got a light?

[Ash doesn't have any sort of fire manipulation or manifestation.]

I'd feed it to Mira but I don't wanna give her indigestion. An' Orthie's sleeping.

[He grabs for his backpack, tugging it over and pulling out a lighter.

(Don't ask where he got it.)

Yes, he does have fire conjuration, but Ash needs the catharsis of doing it himself.]

[switchaxe]

Thanks.

[Pat's not wrong. Ash moves away just a bit and lights the corner of the file, just holding it as it burns. He's immune. He's fine.]

We're goin' whenever Albarea says we're takin' the fight to them, yeah?

[infezione]

They couldn't keep me away if they tried. And frankly, I assume it's the same for you.

[Idly, he's hoping that "whenever" is next month.]

[switchaxe]

If he tries to tell me to stay behind, I'll sick Mira on him.

[So. Yeah.]

Can't wait.

[infezione]

Me neither. And if it turns out to be next month, all the better.

[Their powers will be at their best next month, after all.]

[switchaxe]

Yeah.

[He sighs as the folder burns to ash.]

...let's get lunch after this.

[infezione]

[...

He goes over and takes Ash's hand, silently intertwining their fingers and squeezing.]

That place we went to for your birthday last year? I'm paying.

[switchaxe]

Hell yeah.
