Ash stared blankly as Capella approached the stranger who, just to note, made no comments of any kind yet. That in itself was enough to frighten Ash, but now was not the time to be afraid. He still was, but that didn't mean he was supposed to be. [color=f7941d]"Toas-Inferno! likes everyone, it's a tactic to get them comfortable enough and let their guard down!"[/color] He begun bluffing again, but dropped the act soon enough. It was clearly not working. [color=f7941d]"Eh, forget it."[/color] He squinted as the stranger flashed something in front of them. [color=f7941d]"Ash... Ashton Griffith? Griffon. Fire department. Oh..."[/color] Ash said it out loud, mostly so his companion would understand what was going on as well.

That made him feel stupid.

Stupid enough to scratch his head and try to hide the plank behind the back, in an almost utterly childish goofy manner, dropping it to the floor as quietly as possible. 

[color=f7941d]"Oh... This is unfortunate. I- errr... I apologize? I thought for show you are here to rob or kill us. And you being in a fire department still doesn't mean I'm letting you off the hook! That's a good cover for a serial killer. I think I've seen an episode of Criminal Minds with a similar premise... huh."[/color] he let out a strained laugh as he sighed out. Sure, he overreacted but he wasn't all that to blame. The stranger did give out a bit of a red flag vibe before. If only he said something, that would surely put Ash's heart at ease.

He glared daggers towards Capella's back as his companion called him an idiot. Well, he was. But that was not the point. [color=f7941d]"So Ash? Well, I'm Ash."[/color]
