oncedriven: (could no one ever dry up the spring)

Asch just sighs. "Yes, that's generally the baseline of things any being with a living heart should be doing."

Honestly. That said, the number of flesh eaters he knows who take care of their bodies effectively is really only like two: Malik, and Jade (bullied into doing it by Malik).

Thankfully, Yuri does give him the data, and... Wow, okay, that's sure a thing. "Point in the Aegis column," he says, "you're offputting slightly more ether than Jade is with a shitty synchronization rate." Jade was a powerful blade with an appallingly well-synced driver, but it's all ice; Yuri's output is much better balanced - another sign of an Aegis - so it's not as obvious until actually crunching the numbers, but there it is.

The next words are more of a statement than a question, a foregone conclusion that Asch is just seeking confirmation on. "That wasn't your own driver's heart, was it." It might have been a driver's, it's not ether-dead the way someone who hasn't been exposed to blades might be (flesh eaters are changed by the organs they put in, but the organs themselves don't change much), but it sure has hell isn't in a 'natural' resonance loop.
