[It shouldn't take long for Luke to recognize his location- he's home, after all, or what appears to be home. It's the courtyard of the manor in Baticul, the scent of Pere's flowers around them, birds chirping, the gentle flow of the water surrounding the central area where Luke is standing. It's mostly quiet, but certainly not abandoned; off to the side the gardener is hard at work, digging through the soil and planting new buds for the spring, chatting amiably with Guy - a much younger Guy, an age at which Luke had first met him, actually. In the corner, shaded by an overhang, are the duke and his wife, talking quietly and drinking tea.
And off to the side, by his room, is a table scattered with books, a pitcher of water, and a couple of glasses. And seated at that table is Natalia, about 11 or 12, and Asch.

No, not Asch. The original Luke fon Fabre.
And he looks happy.]
