Ashil held his scowl, for a moment inwardly proud he'd made her frown so quickly. That was a particularly villainous feat. Right? Ugh, no, of course it wasn't. He was reaching for anything by then, after his blundering failure, and when she actually repeated her question he lost every ounce of devious intent. Slouching a bit, he put his hands up in a mock defense and shook his head. Future god of chaos and the unmaking of reality, and he was being asked to take a nap. It was a rough day.

"Yeah, no I...the thing with- look just..." he stumbled for words for a few moments, more irritated with himself than embarrassed. At length, he gave up, lowering his head and his voice again to keep the conversation strictly between them. He'd suffered enough losses to his dignity thus far. "Sorry. Just...concerned, I get it, but wrong person. Thanks, though, anyway." 

That was it, he was just too worn out to put the effort into being rude to her. One instance of humanity wouldn't destroy his future villainy, and it was too early to be punishing ignorance. He hadn't built up his reputation enough, he'd get to work on that, then he wouldn't have to worry about these sorts of things anymore. 

He turned back around, a tad awkward in his actions. Was that how people broke off conversations? It didn't really matter, it's what he'd done, and it would do the job just fine. To sell it, he leaned his head against the window, as if he would be going to sleep, though he had no real intention of doing so. Instead, he'd wait out the rest of the trip, and think.
