Ashlyn simply gave the two boys who asked about actually fighting the Cruxi a calm, but obviously disapproving look before turning back to the Spartans and Lorenzo, ignoring any further conversation from the two. Obviously, the way she had spoken about liking the idea of practical experience had been a bit misunderstood. While she wanted to burn the bastards for what they did to her family and home, they didn't have the experience or training right now to go toe to toe with them. She understood that and wasn't about to go rushing off into battle unless it was to save someone. Oh well, no sense in trying to correct herself now. They had bigger concerns and the Spartans pretty much covered everything she could say on the matter. In a much less...friendly manner. Was everyone in this facility that...impersonal? No wonder Humanity was losing if its higher ups were so...apathetic, towards each other.

The mood of the other children here wasn't helping much either. The quiet one who seemed as though she didn't want to speak seemed especially problematic. She was cute, to be sure, but seemed to lack confidence. Poor girl. This situation must not be something she was used too. She was especially concerned about what she said about no-one out there believing they were alive. While true, that was a rather...grim, outlook. True, that if Isabel woke, then she would be told she was dead. But she didn't have to worry about her twin sister if that happened. She was a strong one, even if she had a head full of bricks and liked getting in trouble a bit too much. To be honest though, she was more than a little hesitant about what was happening herself. If the Cruxi were attacking in force, then they knew about the facility and had prepared an assault beforehand. That meant, they potentially knew about the Frameworks and whatever they were doing here. She was beginning to regret talking to her father about military tactics and such. Sometimes, ignorance was bliss, as they say. Still, she wasn't going to let her worry show to the others. Confidence was half the battle, after all.

[b]"Very well then, let us be off. No sense in standing around until the Cruxi are here to destroy us."[/b] She calmly replied, her earlier smirk being replaced with a calm, somewhat cold and confident smile. Judging from the announcement just made, that was going to be a very real possibility. With that, she left the room, following the Doctor and others.
