Ashe looked to Ryder in concern. He just looked so tired. She was worried about how pushing him may affect him. When Isabel took Ryder from her Ashe looed to him worriedly but didn’t say anything, simply shaking her head when Blake offered her a shoulder to lean on too. She could be strong for now whilst Ryder needed her to. She could ignore her own exhaustion for just a little longer. She turned to look back at the fire and then back to the others. They couldn’t waste this opportunity, nor think they were allowed to slack because of it.

“I don’t know where we could hide in the capitol.” She said softly to Isabel. “That’s Alex’s city. He knows it better than we do.” It was her Alex was after. It would be easy to turn herself over to him and let the others escape. But that would be instantly breaking the promise she’d made to herself and to Ryder. They were strongest when they were together. She always felt so much stronger when he was there than any time she was on her own. Shaking her head quickly Ashe knew she needed to stay positive.

“The slums.” She eventually said as they entered the city. “Alex will be expecting us to head to a doctors or to one of our friends. I don’t think he’ll think to look for us in there.” She turned down a street and began leading Isabel, Ryder and Blake into the darker, seedier parts of the city. Beggars looked up at them, but didn’t move, didn’t say anything. “I’m not too sure where to from here.” Ashe eventually said uncertainly as she looked around and then back to Isabel and Ryder. She just didn’t know. She was used to Ryder making decisions about things like this. She’d even take Isabel telling her what to do right now, as long as she had some kind of direction. She just felt so lost right now.
