A Memory

Serefina had felt like her heart was in her throat since she heard the familiar name on a fellow fighter’s lips. The group had been gossiping about recently auctioned contracts, and while Serefina had mostly abstained, she’d frozen when she heard mention of Asher. She hadn’t thought it was possible to see anyone from her past again. Anyone she had come across, she had assumed dead. It was easier that way. Besides, they had known each other so long ago that she was sure it had to be someone else who went by the same name.

But her curiosity wouldn’t die down. She wasn’t sure why she felt the need to confirm that this wasn’t the Asher she had known, but she did. If she could just put the issue to rest, she could move on and keep believing that the past was nothing but a distant memory.

Serefina stopped in her tracks. There he was. He looked older, she noticed, but then again so did she. She’d only been fifteen the last time she’d seen him. Suddenly, she panicked. Would he even recognize her? The thought of having a friend, a real friend, from her past had blinded her to the possibility that he might not know who she was. “Asher -” she spoke before she could talk herself out of it, reaching out her hand to try and grab at his sleeve and stop him from walking away. “Asher Gallowglass? Is that you?” @dragonasher

@falsefatale​  LIKED for a small starter / ASHER FORRESTER

“I wouldn’t exactly call it wise for a lady to be wandering by herself,” Asher comments, keeping himself from making the rookie mistake of approaching too close too soon. “Unless you’re expecting company to arrive shortly — need any help?”

The Knight

♞ - physically pick my muse up and carry them

“You don’t have to carry me, really,” Iona’s protests were weak at best, more a matter of propriety than any actual desire to walk. Her ankle still throbbed, she’d tripped and turned it the wrong way, and she  was having difficulty walking when Asher found her. While she could still fly, it was always frowned upon to fly very far in the city, so she’d appreciated the offer to help her. She’d been surprised when that offer included picking her up entirely, although not unpleasantly so. He was strong, and she was comfortable being carried. “But... just where are we going?”

Against All Odds

There wasn’t enough time in the world to prepare Serefina for seeing Asher a second time in just a few days. When she arrived at the estate of his contract owner, she almost wished she had told him to wait a few days before they saw each other once again. Her emotions were still a mess and making sense of all the thoughts racing through her head nearly impossible. Still, as much as part of her wanted distance to figure out what exactly she was feeling, a stronger, louder part of her needed answers.

Which is why she had shown up and was now strolling along the grounds of the fancy property. She was trying very hard to keep her lips pressed together just to keep herself from commenting on it all. “You must be happy here,” she commented, despite her efforts. “It seems rather luxurious compared to the other places you could have ended up.” @dragonasher​​

@warsraging didn’t really asked for ASHER FORRESTER twice, but oh well

“So... how is it like?” He finally dares asking rather quietly, after being silent for a while. The stop is getting longer than what he usually allows them to be, their destiny so much closer in the horizon that Asher thinks that is what’s paralyzing him. Why exactly he isn’t sure, but he’s willing to ask whatever question he can think of to drag the moment a bit more. “Being up there, with the rest of the stars. Does it ever get... lonely, or boring?”

@warsraging liked for ASHER FORRESTER.

“I have a feeling you can’t get me out of your head, but also you have that look on your face, so I’m gonna take a risk here and say you’re mad at me — is that so?”

Asher gnawed on his lip as he walked through the unfamiliar courtyard, the campus map in his hands. It was obvious that he was lost. Astrid wasn't answering her phone - she was likely sleeping - and the online map didn't help much, either. He was going to have to ask someone. He tapped the shoulder of the nearest person, a skeptical look on his face.
