[For once, the cheerful smile that normally adorns Aster's face is nowhere to be seen. Might be because he was recently killed, by the same person or it might be because he's currently leaning back in a chair, foot pressed against a nearby table with an open notebook covering his face. He is sans lab coat today. It's laying over the table and his

[speak of the devil--

Richter walks onto the plane, muttering quietly to himself. He'd just spent what felt like trying to press the Centurions for information about Ratatosk that he didn't already know to no avail. The other Centurions quickly drowned out (ha) anything that Aqua had to say. Clearly, they weren't keen on letting someone who had been trying to kill their master know anymore than absolutely necessary but whenever Tenebrae got involved in these sorts of things... It just spiraled into such an unnecessary headache that Richter had given up and returned to the plane's library to do some research on his own.

He stalks right past Aster initially, so caught up in his own thoughts and trying to get the sound of the Centurions' bickering out of his head. He's gone for a good few minutes before picking up on someone using magic in the library- Wait, when did Aster get here?]

... I think I prefer you sitting on the floor to you sitting on top of the bookshelves.

[but he's not looking at Aster, he's looking around

[Given the situation, Aster doesn't notice Richter's presence either. It's only when he talks that he tears his gaze away from his uninjured arm and up to his friend.

Did he do the first aid?

No, that was definitely his own doing. Richter gets a blank stare from Aster before he points at his own arm.]

That...

[Here it comes.]

[ainsophaured]

Richter, do you see this?

[Suddenly, excitement! He's eagerly standing up to show you his arm. Fascinating, isn't it? All his energy was saved up for this one moment it seems.]

Wow, incredible! Here, let me see you. Do you have an injury?

[Wait, then the smile wanes. His bff shouldn't be hurt at all.]

You shouldn't have an injury, but in case you do, I need to experiment!

O-oh... o//////o

[enduringwinter]

What? [Richter's completely taken aback because, whoa suddenly excited Aster in his face? He doesn't even-]

What's incredible?

[The half-elf is plainly confused by the blond's antics] Aster, slow down. What do you mean 'experiment'? I'm not hurt.

[except he was and despite his original plan of going back to the Ginnungagap to recover and gather information, Richter managed to do precisely none of those. There are a few cuts on his arms from the fight earlier and he has a limp but other than that plus all the older, more or less healed injuries Richter was in tiptop shape]
