Really, with the way the man's looking at Sulen, they should be leaving, but... He's smooth enough to be former Andan, and as much as Ashari thinks this could be good for Sulen, there's never such a thing as being too careful. Not to mention that Imsayed is rather attractive, though the deciding factor really is the liquor.
"Glasses would be lovely," they say instead of the hundred other things passing through their head. They take a swig out of the flask before passing it back to Imsayed. It's not poisoned, or at least not quick-acting, and Ashari generally prides themself in being able to sense the ones that take longer to kick in. Either way, there's very little that Imsayed could gain from killing them now, while they're traveling.
Ashari sprawls out and keeps their body posture open. They're not leaning on Sulen anymore, but theyre still very close. "And I'm afraid us being here isn't much of a story. Sulen came through first, on purpose. I fell in a little later, on accident. We knew each other before, and miraculously ended up on the same mission. It's pure luck, I suppose.."
...They might need to stop attributing so many things to luck. At least part of them being placed with Sulen consisted of a quiet and intense monologue to their friend's supervisor in the rebellion, listing Ashari's experience, qualifications, ability to work well with Sulen, and twenty ways to kill someone with a hairpin (Ashari knew more, but they were trying to keep it brief). It probably wasn't what has gotten either of them this particular mission, but it had resulted in a change in quarters (to those next door to Sulen's) during their nebulous waiting period there, and quite possibly a concerned report to the higher ups.
