"Ah..." Astra nods slightly in understanding, but then shakes her head, speaking softly, "It won't be safe. Youre a target, and they will expect you to return as much as they expect you to be here now...but I understand you will need to get your things. You will be protected."

She returns her gaze to Bane before turning to Dante, "Didn't I hear you muttering about protecting someone? You can stay here Dante...and send anyone you want in your stead, if you insist." She looks at her friend and advisor with amusement for his want to follow, and understanding as well. She may be more comfortable with him around, but she was not a child that still needed to cling to him. 

She looks down and reach to pet Beta and give him ear scratchies, before looking back up at Ash, "I suppose so, he says that you called him here. Subconciously, at least. But I have been enjoying his company, and his insights."
