[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.]

[She would know him anywhere, and yet the sight does give her pause. It's Asch - she knows that it's some form of Asch, but he's much more gentle, much more relaxed than she has ever seen him. And his clothing...

If she's being honest, she wonders for a moment if this is some alternate version of him - the way there was more than one Luke, more than one version of herself. But she can't quite shake the feeling that she knows him.]

...you're dressed up today.

[Well, if he says he doesn't know her, at least she can just claim it's a case of mistaken identity. That's easy enough to believe around here.]

[Nope, that's not Luke--because this is Luke. Said redhead is walking along, when suddenly...

...he comes to an abrupt stop and glances to the side, eyes landing on the yellow-eyed (wait... yellow-eyed...?) Asch look-a-like. Green eyes narrow, as the replica's head tilts to the side. Actually, almost everything is a tad bit... off. The hair is different, clothes are definitely different, and he seems... Oh, Lorelei, did he just smile at that person...?

Okay, that's it. This is a dream--or a hallucination--or something.

Cautiously, he approaches the Asch imposter, eyes narrowed suspiciously.]
