Ashburn
______________

Ash blushed when Eric came so close, biting his lip and trying to ignore Eric's strong build. He thought about what he'd said. Of course there was merit to his point, after all it didn't seem like anything in the room was flickering or behaving weird in any other way. Not to mention the noise was as loud as a diesel engine in his ear now that Eric was so close. He enjoyed being so close to Eric, somehow it just felt right.

As he thought he focused on the sound, trying to isolate its tones. Ash held his breath as he began to decode some of its qualities. It seemed as if the noise was attached to something, like a cable that led from his head. Tentatively he opened his mind a little, curiosity being as strong as it was. The sound seemed to grow quieter as he allowed more of the cable into his head. As if the noise was focusing into something understandable. 

"I think you're right" Ash said shakily, as the connection became more apparent. Unbeknownst to Ash however the connection was allowing Eric access to his feelings right now. His nervousness at Eric being so close, his excitement at the same, the romantic feelings he was starting to develop, mixed in with a cesspool of emotions from his transformation, all beginning to go across the thin connection. Along with the fact Ash had been holding his breath to long and his lungs were crying out for air, with Ash to preoccupied in this puzzle to notice.
