"No...I don't mind," Blake replies, watching him curiously. "Do you mind if I ask why you're doing this for me?"

Ashley looked up. "Your brother is worried, but before you make any assumptions, that isn't the only reason."

"Then what are the others...?" Blake asked quietly, intrigued.

"You just seem alone," Ashley said at last, seemingly groping for suitable words.

Blake dropped her gaze. "But I'm not...I have my brother...."

"I know," Ashley said with a nod. "I guess I wanted to see if there was anything else I could do to help, as well. I will be evicted from the ship as soon as we dock somewhere. I suppose you also remind me a little of my ex-wife, and my old friend... Sometimes they would both just..." Ashley sighed. "They each had their own comforts - Antonio would want to fight it out, and Elizabeth enjoyed music; said it helped her relax, especially when pirate activity in Dalian spiked."

Blake sighed. "Oh."
She didn't know what else to say, so she remained staring at her hands.

Ashley smiled benignly, but didn't say anything. "If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know, all right?" He told her. "Anything."

ooc: Did he give her her tea yet? Or is she supposed to take it herself?
bic: Blake looked at him again, this time with guarded hazel eyes. "You hardly know me. Why...are you offering?"

ooc;; He gave it to her, sorry.
bic;; "Is it such an anomaly?" Ashley asked with curiosity. He sighed. "Not everyone has an ulterior motive."

ooc: No worries, just wanted to make sure.
bic: "I-I'm sorry...it's all I'm used to nowadays. Especially when no one else will visit me because they fear the Captain..." Blake brought her cup to her lips, sipping her tea lightly. It had been so long since she had had any.

ooc;; ^^
bic;; "It's nothing to be sorry for; I can hardly fault you," came the reply. "As far as I see it, I have no real reason to fear the Captain just yet," Ashley said simply. "And even then... He is only a man."

Blake grit her teeth. "A lying, cheating, pillaging, conniving, son of a bitch." She shot Ashley an apologetic look. "Forgive the cursing. I just don't know how else to see him anymore."

Ashley looked amused. "Cursing is not something I'm new to; the fact that I rarely use such language myself doesn't mean I haven't heard others use it regularly." His tone was fond, as if he was teasing someone, though whoever it was clearly wasn't there at the time. "Your viewpoint is understandable."

"Ah, well, that's good to know..." Blake murmured, looking down at her hands once more. She studied the tea in her cup, which was now situated on her lap.
