The apartment they walked into felt crowded, for all that it only contained two more people. Problem was, with the exception of Elias, these were now people with connections that travelled like currents, and the emotion in here had an intenseness she'd been unprepared for. She decided pretty quickly that she'd rather be sitting down if the room was going to be so fractious. Careful not to brush against anyone -- it wasn't a huge place -- she slipped far enough into the room to sag against the arm of the couch. She rubbed at her temples, as though she had a headache, and looked at the woman who had offered her a place to stay.
Nox hadn't been exaggerating the weapons. Asha never been around someone who could feel what she was feeling, which at the moment encompassed a healthy and open curiosity edged with something both weary and cautious as she adapted her consciousness to the new dynamics around her. And maybe even a little fear of the woman in front of her. Because. Swords. Asha didn't feel an immediate sense of trust, as she realised she'd assumed she would because of their sameness. And somewhere distant she thought she could sense that Aria wasn't exactly thrilled with the favour.
"Nox says we're called Sentients,"
she blurted. Before anything else slipped that she didn't want to know. And maybe to calm the surge of protectiveness emanating from Lucas as he squared up to Nox. If they started fighting she thought she might faint.
