( Besides, all things considered, it is a rather beautiful sword ). ]
Of course. Someone has to enforce the quarantine, if anything. [ Not that it helps much — the streets are mostly deserted anyway. ] Though the captain has gotten more lax on the hours we are required to work, compared to the beginning.
... It has become rather hectic. How are you holding up?

[Asher perks up at that, curious.
In hindsight, it seems that law enforcement is just doing it's job and containing the infection. But something about his phone call with the mayor struck him as bizarre. It's not as though he hasn't had his fair share of speaking to political figures; his childhood was full of dinners with judges and senators and the like. There is selfishness, a desire to protect one's own rights and well being, but this?
This was bizarre.]
Does anything about the Captain's behavior seem weird to you, at all?
[look at him ignoring that second question smh]
no subject
Nothing. ] Not in particular. He seems more... defeated, than anything. [ A perfectly acceptable behavior, at least in Lucina's eyes, at the wake of an apocalypse. ] There aren't many things for us to do when most are already staying indoors.
Aside from hoping that the virus is contained... [ But jury's out on how successful that would be. ]
no subject
So, there's no foul play at that level. A relief, in a way.]
Daaaang, good to know the po-po's not in on this shit!
Then I'd really be freakin' out.
[She hands off the glass to him and he winces, as if something is amiss.]
Aren't you?
[Freaking out, he means.
Oddly enough, Lucina seems suprisingly centered.]
no subject
She thinks of the state she's landed herself in, the nature of the city separating her from the people she cares about. Her friends slowly losing their minds to the effects of the virus, and the others that also have to watch the people they care about become zombies.
But allowing herself to be overcome with emotions won't help, not when there's a long list of things to do and not enough time to fix it all. ]
I don't see how ... that would help. [ The police aren't here to save the timeline, they are. ] I am relieved that we do not have another force to fight against, however.

[Asher takes another sip of water, inhaling sharply.
Panicking is not the productive thing to do. Thankfully, he hasn't let himself panic, not just yet.
Well, not too often.]
You're right.
[Should he say what he's been thinking?
Lucina seems fine, but fine is almost never Good.]
But if you're not spooked, then...
What are you feelin' right now?
no subject
Mostly because there's no good way to word what Lucina's feeling when thinking about it isn't natural for her. There's the anxiety that coils deep within her gut, and the impatience to do something to fix all these, but she doesn't like to think of them as feelings, more as to do lists that will get resolved with time. ]
... Anxious for the mission to succeed, first and foremost. [ Because the mission needs to succeed, above all else — they don't have any other option. ] Though, it may take a while before we get to that state. [ A pause, then— ] Why do you ask?
no subject
[He stops here, unsure of what to say.
Usually he lets his mouth run, but as of late, he's been trying to be better about it.
He has never really seen her feel anything all that strongly, other than anger, and that's always been directed towards something or someone. Save for the slight bit of animosity she exhibits towards Achilles, Lucina isn't the emotional sort. That being said, not everyone is.]
Uuhhh, nevermind.
no subject
But his dismissal worries her, because it's unlike Asher to do so. ] What is it, Asher?
