003 Strike [Written/Action for Shepherds]
[WRITTEN]
what does strength mean to you? and how does a person become stronger?
[ACTION]
[Asbel sits quietly on one of the crates abovedeck. It's not really clear if he's in some sort of "time out" or if he's here for his own reasons, but what's plain is he doesn't have any intention of moving. A few hours have passed, and he hasn't so much as gotten up to stretch or even gotten up to his usual antics. Instead, the eleven-year-old appears to be thinking hard about something.]
[He said he wanted to become a knight someday; he still does. But what does being a knight really mean? How can he serve a king and protect a whole country full of people when he can't even protect his friends or his own little brother from danger?]

action;
[he was mostly hiding out with weiss during all that, he didn't want to get in anyone's way.]
action;
A whole bunch of people on the Shepherd were affected back then and we couldn't do anything. So we had to keep them locked or tied up or whatever so they wouldn't hurt anyone else on board.
It was...pretty awful. I can't stop thinking about it.
action;
[jaune frowns.]
But uh- that's in the past now, right?
action;
[He clenches his fists tight.]
My heart's never pounded like that before. And I keep remembering how angry Hubert looked back then. I wonder how many times he's been mad at me and just not said anything.
I guess I never realized how much I actually count on him being around. [He laughs once, but it's not a very good laugh.] Usually he's the one all scared and following me places. But when my brother and the others disappeared, I-- I really didn't know what to do.
