Ashi raked her eyes over Shaldag, that giant Ogrunu who worked not only as the man who had put her in this useless position, but a father figure, and also one of her two saviors. Now, he looked like the only thing keeping him standing were the drugs consistently being pumped into him and the fact that those that he'd worked to save were currently fine (or, at least, as fine as they could be) and were going to make sure he made it. “It might be a good thing though, considering I wouldn't be able to help carry him...We only need him on his feet long enough to make it to the ship.” She bit her lip feeling her body once again lifted. She hoped that they wouldn't waste time getting to the pools. As it was, if they got found she wouldn't be able to help in the slightest save by maybe making herself not seen.
Tearing her eyes away from her agonized friend, Ashi then turned her attention to the woman that was carrying her, also taking a huge whiff of the air that almost smelled nice, at least in comparison. “Rosalind, the pilot, she uh... looked really tired the last time I saw her. I doubt they've taken off just yet...Let's just...hold out hope. There's more of a chance that they're here than that they aren't. Do you have a dataslate? I could ping one of them.” Her eyes, against her will, drifted back to Shaldag, now just a broken shell of a man, but one who was fighting for his life nonetheless. From there, she followed his eyes to the small cowboy hat, now sitting discarded alongside clothing that she recognized from earlier.
Something between a gasp and a sob escaped her throat, realizing what it was. She never had the chance to get close to Toka, but having met her earlier, she'd been hoping to have a friend and a kind face to get to know in the gang. She could tell just from the little bit that they'd known each other that the two of them would have gotten along famously, and now she was dead. What could even kill her? She'd thought Toka was untouchable, being a person of the stars. Apparently the Edensians knew a way.
It was then that something akin to anger and sorrow bubbled up in her gut. Why were the Edensians here anyway? Why were they at the club? The fucking Edensians weren't even after her. They were after the terrorist. She didn't see a single Daoweian in those tunnels. They were all Edensian. And they killed Toka. The most innocent person in that entire building, save for maybe Ashi herself. But even Ashi was looking to incite a war. They'd killed the one bit of true good that was in the entire gang.
For no reason.
And Ashi was angry about it. But she could do nothing. Not in the state she was in.
