[Asch closes the journal when Luke approaches. The look greeting him is anything but friendly; he wants to rip his replica apart six ways to Remday, and it shows. If a tiny part of him is happy to see his replica okay, he's long since denied it. He doesn't want to give Luke any indication that latching on is a good thing. Because, as well-meaning and sweet as Luke is, Asch just can't stand him most of the time.
But if they're stuck on a ship together, then he's going to have to do it. Whether Tear and Luke did this for his own well-being or not doesn't matter in the long run. All that matters is getting home, if that's even possible.]
That's it? You helped someone kidnap me and that's all you can say?
[... Okay. Okay, try again. As much as Luke is a little snot, he won against Asch and he has no excuse not to acknowledge him anymore.
Nope. Still mad. He reaches out to grab Luke by the collar, much like olden times.]
You're always saying we should work together, that we should join forces, but you never give me a choice. If you're not forcing your job on me because you think you can't do it, you're dragging me somewhere against my will!
[It's the same as when he tricked Asch into seeing Suzanne and Duke Fabre. Asch doesn't like being manipulated, but somehow Luke manages to do it because he's sneaky and thinks he knows better than Asch does. GOD!!!!!!!!
... Yeah, they have their differences.
He lets go, feeling hot and embarrassed. Yeah, that's the problem-- Luke making decisions for him, even after he took everything. Asch's independence means a lot to him.]
