[Closed]
Date & Time: July 11th, afternoon
Location: Unit 103
Characters: Emil Castagnier, Aster
Summary: Face twin meets face stealer, awkwardness ensues.
Warnings: Mention of murder and excess of blond teenage boys.
[Nearly a week of hiding out at Kaneis's place, and Emil still hasn't figured out a good time to do anything. He's been watching Aster through the tablet, trying to figure out what he knows - and it's not much, from what he's seen Aster say. It's not as though Emil deserves better, but the fact that Aster doesn't seem to remember anything about their meeting in the Ginnungagap makes everything even worse.
How could you tell anyone you'd killed them without a thought? Let alone taking their form for your own purposes? In all this time spent rarely straying from the room (impromptu hat adventures aside) he's thought of a thousand things he could say to Aster, but not a single one that Emil could go out and say right now without ruining everything for Aster - Aster, who Richter cared so much for and who seems like such a good person now that Emil has seen more of him. Everything he's seen says that Aster deserves far more than he got; Emil deserves the exact opposite. He can't just destroy all that...or so Emil tells himself.
And so five and a half days of thinking himself in circles later, Emil's sitting around in Kaneis's room when he hears a knock at the door. He's a little bit curious, but figuring that the caller must be a friend of one of the (permanent) occupants here he elects to stay where he is. Less awkward questions that way, right?]

[He's leaving now. Emil feels relieved for that himself, because he feels like he needs a little space right now and he can't even imagine what Aster must be feeling right now.
Still, he feels like he should say something more after all of this.]
This isn't where I normally live. My room is across the hall from here, if you ever need it.
[He knows it's not new to Aster (he'd seen Asbel mention it on the network, which was frustrating but not entirely unforeseen given that the only person he'd talked to about this was Kaneis) but it feels better to say it himself - like an offer, if and only if Aster wants to take it up.]
no subject
Thank you. I will be sure to keep your offer in mind.
[He doubts Emil will take him up if he offers the same in return, but he wants his lookalike to be aware that his offer to keep the lines of communication open was genuine.]
My room is 910, though you may have better luck finding me in the library.
[That's about the best they can do right now.]
Take care, Emil.
no subject
Yeah. You, too.
