[One of the newest arrivals finds himself laying face first on the cool forest floor, groaning. His body ached all over, but Dist was sure that came with being shot at by a monstrous replica. One that he himself had unleashed. Ugh, what an idiot he was, to let himself grow so desperate and crazed and release that thing, only to have it kill him in the end. That had broke much more than just a few ribs. ...Well, at least it's not raining.

The white haired man musters up all the strength he has remaining and pushes himself up into a kneeling position. He removes his broken glasses and 'tsks' at them. Useless... The glass was broken. Damn that...that impostor! Dist winces and massages his chest. Most of the pain was fading there, but, oddly, his back hurt the most.

Before inspecting why - he just tacked it on to being dead - he cranes his head up and looks around at the trees around him, scowling.]

Tsk, this isn't exactly what I had envisioned of Hell. Fire and brimstone and all that... Agh, damn this pai--[Dist hisses and recoils his hand quickly as it passes over his shoulder and brushed up against his wings. His eyes widen and a bitter smirk spreads on his lips as he looks over his shoulder and spies his wings.] Well, now. This certainly is a surprise. Someone's idea of a joke, perhaps, if even Hell won't take me.

[Dist waves his hand dismissively.] Merely following orders. You know how that ogre Van gets. Then do it for the second reason. The sooner I can get into town and find proper attire and housing, then sooner I can be rid of your atrocious company.

If you're that offended by my presence, I'd be fine with just leaving you here to fend for yourself.

[But whatever; he's turning away to head back to town anyway, so if Dist wants to follow, he can go for it.]

Well, I suppose you're better than Jade, at the very least.

[Because Dist wouldn't be Dist without mentioning Jade at least once. And he'll also be following after you now, Asch, whether you like it or not. At least he's not saying anything else, though. For now.]

[Is that supposed to make him feel better? Anyone would be better than the Necromancer.

Asch is going to indulge himself in the silence, however, and try to ignore the footsteps behind him. The less Dist has to say, the better.]

[That's...yeah, that's actually true. Hm.

Dist never was one for prolonged silences, and just knowing Asch is here, and not exactly sure what point in time he was taken from, Dist has to make sure of one thing.]

...How are you feeling, Asch?

[Oh yeah, like Asch is really going to tell Dist that he's having sporadic heart attacks 8|]

I'm fine. What do you care?

[GOD, blame a guy for trying to be remotely nice and/or concerned, Asch. Dist scowls and glares hard at the young man's back as they walk. Ugh, the sooner he gets his suit back, and some shoes the better.]

Just hoping you don't suddenly fall over dead and I have you haul your sorry carcass into town, boy! In fact, I think I'd just leave it here to rot.

[LOOK HE DOESN'T TRUST YOU OKAY. Even your well-wishing can be troublesome. No matter what Anise says.]

Do I look like I'm going to fall over dead? [Look, see, he's the picture of perfect health. Ha, take that.]

[WITH GOOD REASON! Hey, leave the loli out of this, we're still not sure what the hell to call their relationship other than "wtf'.]

Would you like me to answer that honestly, Asch~?

[Stop trying to sexualize a thirteen year old, Dist, that's gross. :|]

If your answer is anything but "no", then you're obviously delusional.

[vhjcjcd--NO.]

Hahaha! Then I suppose you want me to lie? Tsk, tsk~ But all right. You look as surly and affronted as usual, which means you must be in perfect health!

[ :|

Asch glances back at him with a scathing glare, steps pausing.]

If you're going to make fun of me, I'm not going to help you.

And just as friendly, I see.

[Your glare does nothing to intimidate him, Asch, he's had to put up with it for seven years in the Order, but Dist will oblige to the young man's request. He stops his mocking and walks along silently. He has questions, but he really doesn't want to talk to Asch more than he has to.Are we there, yet? :|]

[OH THANK GOD HE FINALLY SHUT UP. Within a few minutes, Asch leads him through a part in the trees, gesturing to the village up ahead.] There- this is the main plaza. [Now be happy and leave him alone. He doesn't need your annoying health check.]
