It boiled Ashe's blood just thinking about giving in to this place. Something inside her got riled up just seeing his expression shift when he discussed his resignation to this places' hold.
Leaning in across the table, angry for him, "You were a goddamn king, and you let this place just roll you over like that?" Ashe had always been one for rebellion, as far back as she could remember. This place had her completely unnerved and totally unsettled. She shook her head and continued.
"I get we don't have much choice about many things here, but that..," she downed her drink while she mumbled to herself, "I ain't nobody's toy."
She wasn't angry at him, not in the least. Ashe's aggression was steadily building from the lack of control she now had and the bottled up feelings she was now quite defiantly refusing to address. Embarrassed, she ordered another drink as the alcohol was barely hitting it just yet.
