The meeting

[tansytansey]

As Mort grabbed Ashes' wrist, she reacted from instinct. Her hip moved forward to meet her elbow and her weight shifted to the foot beneath it. Her other foot swung around behind her other foot, and she opened the palm of her hand wide and tilted it back. It was such a quick and subtle movement, that the Crimeboss probably didn't even notice, and if he did he probably mistook it for nothing more than a startled reaction. But the instincts ingrained in her head from childhood had made her automatically react and move into a vantage point to fight back. Ashes stopped herself before she took the next step, though. She remembered that it was Morty that had grabbed her, and although he was a ruthless bastard, he wouldn't hurt one of his Rogues for no good reason. She almost felt stupid for reacting that way.

Ashes stared at the bracelet as Morty slid it over Ashes' hand and onto her wrist before releasing it and poking her belly. She winced slightly as he did, too busy gazing at the bracelet to retaliate. When Mort continued by and left her staring at the small trinket, there was a slight movement beneath Ashes' shirt. She could feel the fur brush against her skin as the Gaian Wildlife animal peeked its' head out from her shoulder. It had been hiding beneath her clothes ever since Faraday had come in to wait for Mort. That man scared her little pet just as much as he creeped out Ashes. Ashes stroked the top of the small, feline-like Gaian animals' head with to fingers as it began to purr.

"We really gotta get off this dump and back to Alcatraz." Ashes said soothingly to the beast.
