Ashton dropped his hand to his own chest, fingering the pendant at his neck and unintentionally noticing his own heart's rapid beat. It was funny, how one's body did those things and he never really realized it until he paid attention.
Then Dias' radio sounded; Ashton jumped a little bit in surprise. He hadn't brought it with him, assuming Mr. Radio wouldn't be using it again, considering he was dead and all. Jill sounded like a pretty nice lady! Oh, there was still hope! Even if she wasn't as cool and collected as Jack was, she was still very nice-sounding. He hoped to meet her someday.
"Ahhh, looks like we'll be having radio duty in the future after all," he said cheerfully. Everything seemed to be coming up roses!
..Until that man appeared out of the corner of his eye, and Ashton immediately took a flustered step back as Dias spoke. It wasn't as if he didn't want to seem close to Dias, but.. if this little non-arrangement between the two of them became common knowledge, who knew what other kinds of rumors would circulate around about them!? "Oh! Ah!"
Face a deep red, Ashton nodded a greeting to Edgeworth, then looked up at Dias. "Right. Um.. Let's meet tomorrow. Breakfast? ..Please?" The younger swordsman smiled hopefully - and then, without waiting for an answer, he skittered back on down the hallway, disappearing back into room M12.
