[He nods in return; that makes perfect sense to him.]

I didn't think anyone would be. [The dangers of it seemed so incredibly obvious, to him.] Not this soon, anyway.

[A last-ditch effort to get out of here alive, sure, he could see why people might grab desperately at it then. But anything else, even dire circumstances back home? It's not worth it. But he'd heard others didn't feel the same way, so he'd wondered if Ashlyn, too, was tempted.]

I don't know. Some people have circumstances so bad that I'm surprised they don't want to.

But—a gamble is a gamble.

[ she appreciates it. she's not above being touched that people are checking on her, but she doesn't like all the fuss. so we may simply vibe quietly again........ ]
