[Asch swallows hard, feeling yet another wave of unease. He can hear and feel Van's proximity to him, and with them so close, the other man will probably notice the state of his eyes- the faded look of them, the way they never seem able to focus on anything. He's obviously already worked through what's happened. His tone of voice is difficult to read, but Asch seriously doubts that he's happy about this discovery.
...Ha... and he'd wondered if Van was going to gloat, after his apparent "betrayal". After everything that had happened, and his former master had still expected them to work together to recreate the world? He'd still chosen to come here, to this house, knowing Asch could still be living here?
He's not sure what to think about that. Back in Auldrant he'd had very little contact with the man after that meeting, and it's been several long years since then. It isn't nearly as fresh in his mind.
With all of that in mind, though... why is he helping?]
...It's not as if I'd planned on hiding it.
[Though he's not sure he would have mentioned it, had the penalty for his demise been less obvious.]
