Of course the man dodged her leaping attack, she had expected it from the beginning. But it looked like Leon had picked up on her plan, because there a blue glow from behind her that she recognized. The man who fought so much like she did tried to attack her again, but was thrown back by a shot from Leon's transformed weapon. Now he was starting to look hurt. Ashe knew she could keep this up and if all went well, she could pull that mask off his corpse. A pang of grief rose up on her chest as she thought of the face that could be behind that mask, and for just a moment she hesitated, not wanting to kill him.
That hesitation was just enough for the man to apparently receive new orders and disappear into shadow. Ashe growled under her breath, feeling frustrated both at the fact that her opponent had just gotten away, and that she didn't get to see under that mask. Her posture didn't relax until after she heard confirmation from Cid that the enemy was all fleeing. Ashe didn't feel any joy in this victory, because it wasn't a victory. The enemy wasn't dead, they'd be back.
It was as she was sheathing her weapon that Leon began to speak to her. The warrior woman was pleasantly surprised that Leon was going to allow her to go to Disney Castle as well. Normally she wasn't invited. She was an outsider, even if she had been here for a year. It was nice to know that she had finally gotten the broody man's trust, just like he had earned hers. "Right." She responded, only the slightest amount of strain in her voice from her injury. The wound concerned her slightly, but not enough to pass up an opportunity to finally meet the Queen that she now risked her life for.
Together, Ashe and Leon started heading to the Second District to meet up with the others. As the adrenaline from the fight began to wear off, the pain began to worsen, but still Ashe endured silently. If not for the lack of color in her face, or her slightly uneven breathing, one may think that she didn't feel it at all. "You know more than I do about other worlds. What are the chances that there's another world out there that trains their warriors in the exact same way as my own?" Ashe suddenly asked.
