Back from the Nexus

[re_ashleygraham]

*After the double disaster in the Nexus, Ashley finds herself being escorted home by Leon. It's a short trip, thanks to the Nexus portals(tm), and they are back in Washington in no time. She certainly does NOT want her parents to see her in her current state, so they will have to be cautious about getting inside. Her mother is usually asleep by

*Luckily, the White House is a very huge place, and the President is a busy man, so they don't have much to worry about. With Leon's knowledge of the security detail, it was easy for him to avoid most of the secret service agents. The few agents they did pass didn't get too good a look at Ashley, and if they did, they knew to keep their mouths shut.

Weaving around the place, Leon led Ashley to a place where they could sit and talk for a while: the kitchen. This time of night it was usually abandoned, and Leon was getting a little hungry. No need to go into this talk on an empty stomach. When they arrive, he pointed to the empty chairs at the table*

Have a seat. I'm going to grab something. Want anything?

*She feels rather like a student being sent to the principal's office. Going over to the table, she pulls out a chair and plunks herself down, crossing her arms over her chest.*

Just a glass of water will be fine. I should be the one serving you, though.

*Leon grinned and shook his head* Nah. I'm the hired help here, remember?

*He pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge, along with a bottle of soda, then grabbed a bag of chips and a couple of glasses, and brought them to the table. He put everything down, and sat across from Ashley*

So... care to tell me how that whole fight got started?

*Sighing, she grabs the water bottle and the glass to pour herself some. After taking a drink, she sets the glass down and curls her fingers around it. Ashley is quite content to stare at a spot on the table, rather than up at her companion.*

I was angry because...because I would have liked to have been told sooner than today about y-you and her. Admittedly, it's not like it's really my business, but...considering how I feel...about you...sooner would have been better, and maybe we could have avoided this. I certainly didn't go into the Nexus looking to get into a fight with her, I just wanted the truth.

*Her fingers tighten around the glass, knowing that she's probably blushing and hoping Leon isn't going to hate her forever.*
