Ash listened as Chaos explained that he had, in fact expected unreasonable. Oh, come on, when had Abaven ever not eventually keeled over to an Imperialis's demands? When Chaos finished explaining why he thought it might be unreasonable, Ash nodded, "Okay, maybe unreasonable, but definitely a lot more interesting."

Oh, then Chaos had to go get all serious. Look, it wasn't that Ashmedai couldn't be serious, he just didn't like to be. It ruined his mood, obviously. He agreed with everything that Chaos was explaining, but for him, it with without saying. Still, he did his best to mirror his brother's mood. He straightened his posture and dropped his smile. Fine, serious Ashmedai activated. Whatever.

Then the girl showed up, as acknowledged by Chaos. "Yup, that's her," Ash said, his more mischievous smile ebbing back onto his maw. He saw the others approach, but other than a brief up-down glance for each of them, Ash ignored them. Nosy bastards.

Aaaand Rhyme and the girl walked off for a little chat. Ashmedai sighed and eyed Chaos from the side. He didn't say anything in mixed company, but he didn't have a lot of hope that this wasn't going to end up being an all-out brawl in the end. He was ready for it, though. And if he thought about it enough, he'd start getting all excited about it.
