Ash Maidenhair
Ash had been put up for the job of going with Ember to break out the prisoner, he was thrilled for the opportunity to finally prove he was more than Astoria's sidekick but he still couldn't shake the bad feeling he was getting in general. Astoria was pulling away from him and he wasn't angry with her for it, he always truly thought that she needed more people in her life, she was far too sheltered and never allowed herself to be open with people besides him and a few of their friends from home. What he was upset about was that whatever was going on, she was hiding it from him. They told each other everything! Well... he now knew that even wasn't true due to the situation with Fern. Maybe she wasn't the person he thought she was... that was what was hurting the most. Ember questioned him and he looked over at her with a sheepish smile, "Ah am I that transparent? Hah-no. It's okay, I don't really want to talk to Astoria about it until this is all over... I think it's all just too much in general. I'm just feeling a little lost is all, sometimes you really think you know something or someone and it's not right. Then when that goes to shit your brain has to recover, ya know?" Ash was thankful for someone to actually ask and care but honestly he really didn't know how to word his worry.
The others started the distraction and soon he and Ember were off to the cell that housed the prisoner. The man was out cold but seemed to be breathing and was slowly becoming responsive. He took a chance to check in on the others and across the camp he could vaguely see Asher and Astoria. They were close together, standing face to face and the way she was looking at him made something click. That was what she meant when she said a spark. That right there, that look that he had never seen her make in his life. Ash felt an anger rise in his throat but before it was able to take over, thankfully Ember spoke up.
"Right, I'm sure it can." Ash had let himself get distracted and lost sight of the goal right in front of him. He outstreched his hand and some roots moved from the tree they had been hiding behind and into the lock, growing and twisting until the thing shattered and they were able to yank open the cell door. Ash leaned down and shook the man awake. It took a few moments but they were able to get him up and tell him to run back to the town, he was thankful and ran without looking back. Ash stood and gave Ember a thumbs up. "Now let's join the others yeah?"
