[Even those who know Asch and Luke well might get a bit confused seeing this redhead wandering around. The slightly darker hair is a clue, tied back in a loose ponytail, and the clothes are little better. That's not something Luke would wear, right?
And yet he doesn't carry himself like Asch at all; there's something gentle about this boy that the God-General lacks. Asch is a blade just under the water, waiting to strike those who don't pay enough attention. This boy is a gentle stream, quiet but steady, nearly impossible to dam up.
The boy who might have been Luke looks at you with bright yellow eyes and a gentle smile.]

[A small laugh, then, and that at least is very unlike Asch. He's smiling, gratefully, although it's not directed at Luke.]
You don't have to look so worried. I've already been talked out of following through on it.
[He turns his head to look at Luke, briefly, before going off to stare into space.]
Someone cared enough to want me to live. For myself, not what I could do for him. I can't shame him by ignoring it.
lol it's okay
Yeah, he's pretty sure there's no way this is even Asch...
His curiosity is piqued, though, on who the mentioned "him" is. When he speaks, it's in a more softened tone.]
Who?
just out of nowhere tags
[His expression turns more towards its usual kind of sour - his fists tighten at his sides.]
Someone I can't repay. Someone I didn't even have the courage to call friend.
[He sounds more like his usual self, there, although his voice is more regret than anger, instead of the reverse that might be expected.]
they're always fun!
Then, he attempts a smile.]
When someone really cares, ...they don't need you to repay them. People do things for those they care about, simply because they want to. Not so the other person will have to do something in return.
no subject
[There's the sound of someone approaching in the distance.]
It's something other people get to experience. I've never been in a position where people didn't want something from me before.
