Asch groaned, sitting up. Where was he? Ah, right. Chesedonia. Inn. There was screaming. Not the fear kind. The kind the dreck Replica...no. It was the Replica.
"Grrh. I am not dealing with this. This is supposed to be a vacation." He closed his eyes and concentrated.
"REPLICA! What the HELL is going on out there?! I'm trying to enjoy a nice, quiet, REPLICA-FREE VACATION! Why the hell are you all yelling out there?!"
"Argh! ASSHOLE! What are you even doing here? And we're in the middle-"
"You know what? I don't fucking care. Just take your damn fight outside the city before I come out and bash you in the head."
"Sure, whatever you want, asshole. Would it kill you to ask? Or not rip my head open for a change?"

"What was it this time?" Luke was sitting on the ground, his back against Guy's legs. Apparently he'd fallen down. "It was almost like your old fits, back when Lorelei was trying to talk to you before all this started."
"Apparently we woke His Highness up. Don't ask me why he's here. Apparently some sort of vacation. Instead of being a normal person and yelling at us…"
"He decided to rip your fon slots open again. He could at least yell at us normally. How bad is it this time?" Tear helped him up, concern plain on her face.
"Feels like he just shoved a knife into my head. Can you do anything about it?"
"I can tell you to stop shaking your head like that. It's not going to do anything to help. It just makes more pressure."
"What?"
"It's gonna make your head worse."
"GAH! Anise! Don't do that!"
"Ow...can we all stop yelling now?"
There was a clang and a high ringing noise, and then a thud as Luke hit the ground five feet from where he was standing.
"Yes. Can we all stop the yelling now? Some people are trying to sleep!" Asch held the Sword of Lorelei level, pointed in the direction of Luke's crumpled form.
Luke sat up, his head tilted oddly, hands over his ears.
""YEAH, HIT ME IN THE DAMN HEAD WITH A GIANT FUCKING TUNING FORK! NOW I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE MIGRAINE!"
Asch shoved a piece of paper into Luke's face, speaking to the rest of the group. "Well, I did tell you to stop. My exact words were "before I come out and bash you in the head.".
"I CAN'T READ IT! IT'S BLURRY!"
The ex-God General just shook his head, turning back to the inn and walking away. "Just...get him out of here. Before I bash another ringing tuning fork into someone else's head. I'm going back to sleep. Are we still going for dinner tonight, Natalia? Okay. See you."
Back at the Albiore, Natalia finally broke through her haze, blushing even more. "He was…" she broke into mutters.
"What was that, Princess?" Jade was smirking, obviously amused at what he heard.
"He was...still in his nightshirt…"
"You know, I hadn't noticed." Tear started blushing as well.
"Well, he was rather angry. I didn't notice either." Guy turned back to helping Luke up the stairs.
The rest of the group blinked, stunned. Then Jade started laughing.
Almost everyone else joined in, Natalia still blushing.
