Ascot felt what Serenity was feeling, and he was glad that she empathized with him well enough to keep him hidden. So he said as he received the new coordinates, "Sure. Do I drive the Mech myself, or do you take have Ashbringer taken via drone?"

A reminder that he was still a kid and didn't know everything. Nevertheless, once Ashbringer was being shipped to Serenity's private dock, Ascot bowed to Serenity and said, "Thank you - As I said before, I didn't expect to receive such kindness." A pause, "And it is kindness - People don't usually treat me this well."

Ascot knew this was merely basic human decency, that this was not special and giving a price for basic human decency was a bad thing. But after he had been so emotionally deprived, he couldn't help himself. After all which had happened to him, he couldn't help but point out that it had become rare for him to receive kindness. The young man then said,  "I'm not blind, I'm going to have to move to another residential area after this, right? For safety reasons."

Then his stomach rumbled, "I haven't eaten yet. Mind if we get food afterwards?"

It was only in the seconds after that Ascot had noticed that he had given Serenity his secrets, opened up to her, and she didn't actually judge him except as a safety risk. And it was only if he was the latter that she would banish him. And right now, she even empathized, [i]sympathized[/i], with his quest for justice. He had been using his last secret, his psionic hyper-empathy, to read her emotions and even pick up a few stray thoughts. This was unintentional, but he also knew that he might still be judged if he revealed that power. So he wouldn't give away this last secret.
