Ash was probably still more pleased than she should have been by Richard's recent appearance on the train. Though really, it wasn't just the fact he was here so much as it was ... well, the rest of it. She'd also gotten around to introducing herself to Simon after her adventure in China with Kaylee, and while the train would never be her boat, there weren't too many complaints she could lodge.

Well, she could do without the plants, but as she'd heard some people saying, it could be worse. She'd had a couple of path-crossings with a few of them, but she hadn't gotten anything worse than a grassy wig.

Leaving Richard to nap -- well, sleep, really -- Ashley had made her way through the train to try to burn off some of her energy. She wasn't even sure how she had so much of it, but ... she did. She'd also happened to notice, on her way, that her name and Richard's were on the door of their room. She guessed that made it official as far as the train was concerned, and that suited her just fine.

Rifling through the cabinets, Ash stretched up on her tip-toes to peer into the top-most one above the counter. Spying a jar of peanut butter, she grinned and pulled it down before she continued to rummage through the rest of the middle kitchen to see what was worth putting together for a snack.
