(Starling) “Just so you know, that could’ve gone a lot worse.”
[Prompt]
Asher grit his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut in an attempt to block out the pain. Starling's comment, however, had his eyes snapping open.
"Aye?! I could'a gotten shot in both me ass-cheeks!?"

“What is wrong with you?”
[Prompt]
Asher squinted in disbelief at the trader before rolling his eyes and leveling her with an exaggerated smile coated in sarcasm.
"We ain't got enough time in the world fer that conversation."

(Starling) “There’s stew in the pot if you’re hungry.”
[Prompt]
"Thanks, darling," he said, grabbing a bowl from where they were kept and making his way towards the pot as if it was second nature to him. Which, by now, it almost was. Being in charge of Jay's wellbeing seemed to have domesticated the man just enough to be invited to dinner more often than not.
"Where's the salty lass? She have too much Cram and get stuck in the pot again?"

[Prompt]
"If yer wantin' me to pretend to be yer lil' dog, Matty, yer gonna have to be nicer to me first," Asher replied with a sly smile, yet he planted his ass in a chair nonetheless.
"Don't be upset if I go wanderin' if ya take too long."

“ let me talk to them first.”
[Prompt]
Asher let out a sigh and looked towards the sky as if searching for strength to get him out of this situation. Regardless, he motioned for Willa to continue on ahead of him.
"Go on, then."

[Prompt]
"Right, but ye love me so much ye agreed to it anyway," he taunted, grinning widely at the man's exasperated expression. "It's why our relationship is so strong, Grace."

(Matthew) “Wait, you two know each other?”
[Prompt]
“Aye, we’ve been acquainted before,” he replied and offered a nod in greeting to the one-eyed marksman who was passing by. He got a nod in return, and once Boyd was out of earshot, Asher shook his head and let an exaggerated shiver travel through his body.
“Gives me the creeps.”

[Prompt]
“Because yer the love of me life, Gladys,” came the reply, drenched in heavy sarcasm. Taking the opportunity to pass by the man, Asher added, “and yeh walk too damn slow.”

(Starling) “You okay? You were kind of a mess last night.”
[Prompt]
“All in a day’s hard work,” Asher replied, eyes closed shut as he sipped from a piping hot mug of jet black coffee.

(Slim) “I’m… just… trying to wrap my brain around this.”
[Prompt]
Asher glanced over at the young man, brows furrowed. He didn’t think there was much to understand, but Slim also struck Asher as a little sheltered at times.
“Alright, well... if yeh got questions, ask away.”

(Starling) “He’s got no reason to lie.”
[Prompt]
"Everyone’s got reasons to lie,” Asher scoffed in response, shaking his head at her naivety. Something about the man struck Asher the wrong way, though he couldn’t put his finger on exactly what.
“I’m just sayin’ -- I don’t trust ‘em.”

“Who are they?”
[Prompt]
“Some trader, I guess,” he said with a shrug, motioning towards the door. “Said they got books from yeh not too long ago and wanted to see if yeh had anything new or if yeh wanted to see what they had found or something. He didn’t have a gun on me, so I figured he’s a nice enough lad. Weird, though.”

(Grant) “I’m working on it!”
[Prompt]
“Work faster, Gertrude!” the scavver snapped, kicking a feral that had managed to scramble up to their position. The feral took out two more snarling ferals as it rolled backwards and Asher pulled out his gun to take aim and try to prevent anymore from reaching them.
“Much faster!”

(Starling) “He’s saying you can shove it.“
[Prompt]
“Oh, I’m sure Gilbert would love for me to shove somethin’ up his arse,” he replied with a roll of his eyes and a shake of his. “Too bad for him, I ain’t interested... and I don’t even got standards, so you know it’s drivin’ him wild.”
