Baited Breath

Early in the morning, Ashemdai set out to the border. He sat and waited, though Sparrow didn't take long getting there. She greeted him, using his full name, then saying it was also kind of a goodbye. Ashemdai nodded, "You can call me Ash, you know." he said, standing. He moved closer to Sparrow, almost passing her. When they were shoulder-to-shoulder, Ashmedai commented quietly, "I'll give them a chance." He pressed into Sparrow slightly, "You be safe, okay?" He added, walking a small distance away and turning back, "I'll see you around, I hope." He didn't really want her to leave, but he also knew she had to. Besides, he didn't even know her that well, he just felt like he wanted to.
