[A presence, but no voice? Sounds like the Luceti spirits, in a way.
Asch is hesitant at first, reluctant to take the sword, uncertain of what it'll do with its master watching. And then he realizes how stupid that uncertainty is and accepts it, lifting it to get a better look at it.]

[Miyabi tries not to laugh at his hesitance, but she can't smother the smile on her face. Once Sumomo's in Asch's grip, that same pulse reverberates very softly against Asch's palm, and the sword's hilt feels warm. Miyabi watches, her eyes following Asch's hand then down the entire length of the blade, almost as if she was...looking for something. Searching with her eyes for a sign only she could see.
She smiles, leans back, then her brows furrow together.]
...She says that you're very strong, and brave. ...She also says you know what you're doing. Holding a sword, I mean. [Again, her brows furrow together, and she frowns outright.] ...Can I have her back?
[Miyabi reaches out for her sword, looking somewhat troubled.]
[July 30th, Action]mirrorbirthAugust 11 2011, 15:40:14 UTC
[He offers the sword back out to her, but that expression would be impossible to miss. It didn't sound like she was deceiving him, but that reaction she has now...]
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 15 2011, 03:02:33 UTC
[The instant Miyabi's hand closes around her sword, she squeezes her eyes shut. She considers lying, but it's far, far too late for that. Plus, she'd just be a hypocrite if she lied to Asch's face right now. Sighing, Miyabi meets Asch's eyes for a second before she has to look away.]
She says...you're strong, and brave, and though she trusts you, she won't let you use her completely...because there's blood on your hands. B-But you're a soldier--eh, well, you were. [She fidgets, nervously.] And you did just heal my wounds, too, s-so...!
[July 30th, Action]mirrorbirthAugust 15 2011, 17:28:11 UTC
[....Ah. That. He glances off to the side, his expression somewhat distant, though not exactly insulted by the observation. She's not wrong, after all.]
She's right. I've killed a lot of people- enough that they called me Asch the Bloody.
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 16 2011, 02:05:22 UTC
Asch the Bloody...
[Miyabi doesn't know what to think about that. She doesn't like that title, and she frownsat the thought of Asch, covered in blood, killing people. yes, he was a soldier, and that's what soldiers do, but...but she just can't see something like that happening. Asch may be scary and mean sometimes, but she still considered him a brother.]
Mm, if that's true, I...I don't like that. But I also can't believe it, because I see you differently. You wouldn't just kill anyone without thinking first, would you? I think that's what makes the difference. You're not a bad person, Asch, and your title from back home doesn't matter to me. You don't mind that I'm barely bigger than a button, right? Things like that shouldn't matter so long as the person inside is good.
[She smiles, and taps the tips of Sumomo's brush on Asch's nose, resulting in a black spot.] So don't make such a serious face, or I'll paint you a new one.
[July 30th, Action]mirrorbirthAugust 16 2011, 05:52:04 UTC
[Asch blinks, jerking back, and rubs at the spot on his nose, which probably just makes it worse. Dammit.]
Wh-what!? I only made it because you were...!
[Some sword says he's covered in blood, what the heck kind of face is he supposed to make? Let's just... ignore what she said right now, because he lacks the social grace to accept those comments.]
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 16 2011, 22:49:00 UTC
[Definitely makes it worse. Miyabi laughs both at his blackened face as well as his stuttering and blush. Yes, she sees it quite clearly. So cute, Asch. |D This is much better...she likes to joke and laugh much more than having to worry about what Sumomo said, even if it is on the back of her mind.]
Eh, you don't want me to paint you, big brother? I'm insulted. [She laughs again, then moves around Asch to the mirror, frowning as she notices the huge spot of red and smaller, oddly placed drops of blood on her dress. Ugh, and only now does she feel how wet and sticky is feels, bleh.] ...Can I ask you another favor?
[July 30th, Action]mirrorbirthAugust 16 2011, 23:25:47 UTC
[Did... she just call him 'big brother'? He's stunned by the surrealism of that for a moment before her last question clicks, and he grabs a towel to try and fix that splotch on his face again, stubbornly.]
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 17 2011, 02:52:05 UTC
[Lucky for Asch, Miyabi's attention was on the stain of her dress, so she doesn't see his stunned expression. Otherwise, she'd question it, then probably feel too embarrassed to ask. Well...even more embarrassed.]
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 19 2011, 01:29:18 UTC
[Aahaha, I win. |D She snickers at that wonderful reaction, which soon becomes smothered laughter, but she does as she's told, heading out of the room and towards...the hall. A second later, she pops her head back in.]
Which one is the bathroom?
[Miyabi's never actually been in Asch and Luke's apartment before...]
[July 30th, Action]mirrorbirthAugust 19 2011, 15:49:43 UTC
Down the hall- the smaller door right beside the living room.
[It's pretty easy to find, so he goes back to sifting around for a shirt to give to her. Luke's room is the one beside the washroom, since it's good to have some space between them.]
[July 30th, Action]chiisaichouAugust 20 2011, 02:55:41 UTC
Thank you, Asch.
[She smiles, and makes her way to the room Asch indicated, humming lightly and inspecting her dress. Ugh, it completely bled through the white under-section, too! Man...maybe she can wash it out in the bathroom, after she soaks her wounds. Miyabi grumbles softly, and opens the door wide, then stops and stares. Why? Because she is now staring at this.
These are the times when Miyabi actually really likes the Malnosso.]

Uhm...could I borrow a shirt? Please?

It'd be too big for you. You'd look ridiculous.
[Though it isn't a no.]

Would you rather I just take off my clothes and sit here?
[That may be a threat.]

No! Just- dammit, go to the washroom and take a bath or something, you'll just get it covered in blood! I'll bring you a shirt.
[He points to the door. OUT. Before you start dripping.]
