[And then someone had the misfortune of pulling the shower curtain back.

Thankfully Luke was still fully clothed; he liked to get the shower going and at the right temperature before getting ready for it. Even though it was around noon, Luke still had bedhead, and he looked as if he had just woken up.

Perhaps that's why it takes Luke a second or two longer than it should to process that there's someone in the shower. And even longer to realize just who it is that's in the shower, garbed in New Feather clothes and looking just as confused as he did when he first arrived.

That didn't stop Luke's eyes to go as wide as possible, for all the sleep to leave him as his body worked on automatic: he bolted backwards, not taking into account that he had locked the door, and ended up slamming against it and hurting his wings and fumbling his hand against the doorknob to try and unlock it as he stared at the sight in front of him, something like fear and rage and hope and happiness blossoming in his chest.

His master was here

[The replica. That could be a bad sign. Not that that failure was particularly dangerous, but it tended to travel with people that were. He would very much like his sword right now.

Although... It seemed they were equally surprised by current events. And that was just the advantage he needed. ...That and a little Kimlascan stupidity.]

Luke. [Soothing voice, soothing voice...] Don't act like you've seen a ghost.

[Generally, noises in the apartment don't catch his attention much anymore- with an active pair of animals around the place (neither of which seem to get along very well) and Luke adding to the company (so very talkative) he's learned to ignore it for the most part. But he knows to keep his ears open for certain things, particularly the mention of certain people. Especially when it comes time for the arrival of New Feathers.

So when he hears Luke shout Master, Asch abandons his lunch preparation in favour of grabbing his sword and charging for the bathroom. He'd heard the door lock, but that doesn't mean much to him; his shoulder is hunched in just the right way to break the lock open. Van. Van could be here. No locks could possibly keep him away from this.

Unfortunately he doesn't expect the door to open just as he reaches it, so he enters the bathroom with a snarl of "MOVE, YOU STUPID-" - which is all the time he has for words before he crashes right into his very startled replica, sending them both tumbling to the floor in a pile

[Very startled indeed; Luke had expected to run out and call for Asch, not to feel his original crash into his back and make them both sprawl out on the floor. There's not much Luke can do from there - with Asch on top of him and himself dazed from what just happened, all he can do is wince and wait for the world to fling back into place. At least he's trying to get back up, with his hands braced against the floor as if he'll spring back up and rush out to grab his own sword once his senses return.

Yes, Van, these are your students.]
