Isamu is startled by this admission on Ashley's part. He shakes his head, "no Ashley I have not noticed anything. You think it took me as a host," he says, an eyebrow raised and some concern in his voice.
"I do not think it is in me, however if it is not, where is it. Do you think it could have gone into someone in the housE?"

Ashley took a step back and stared him in the face," You know you could at least hide it a little if it disgusts you so much." She shook her head. "And it would take alot more than casual contact for it to be even considered."
She turned and started walking towards the food court at a brisk pace. " I'm going for a snack."

Isamu grabs Ashley's hand and pulls her back to him. He doesn't care if they are in the middle of a crowd. He says, "It does not disgust me Ashley. If it had would I want to marry you? I am only concerned because we do not know what effect the loss of one will have on you, and we do not know what one is capable of on its own. We also do not know what would happen to someone should they one choose to join with them. Ashley, I have told you I love you, every part of you. You have lived with them for so long, you have a relationship with them. You can control them. Someone else may not be able to. You have a strength none of us possesses. That inner strength that allows you to work with your symbiotes is beautiful and amazing."

Ashley blushed in embarrassment. She stared at the floor," Sorry. I mistook what you meant the way you reacted. I'm okay, really, and if without one keeps me human, I'm glad to be short one. But the others aren't concerned, so I'm not either. It's just that it never happened before."

Isamu takes her hand and brings it to his lips kissing the back of her fingers, "I love you Ashley. I can tell you are concerned. We needed a vacation, perhaps your symbiote needed one as well," he says with a smile obviously trying to ease the tension.
"Whatever it decides to do, I know we will be able to handle it, because we are together," he adds while looking into her eyes, "now you said you wanted ice cream?"

Ashley chuckled," I wish it was that easy. Sure, ice cream sounds... ," she glanced at the boarding list, ," but we better take it with us. We're boarding soon."

Isamu says, "will they allow us to do that? I thought we could not take things on the plane," he asks confused as they walk looking for an ice cream place. What flavor do you want?"

Ashley smiled again, amused at Isamu's concern," We have enough time for that. You worry about me too much. I'll just have chocolate, my stomach is feeling a little queasy. Must be my nerves starting already, I figured it would be fine until we got to Honalulu."

Isamu pulls Ashley close, and allows his hand to wrap around her waist as they walk. "Are you nervous about the flight, or about the homecoming," he asks as they walk.
"I have not flown much. When I was very young, and then not again until I flew to Miami to start school. I did not know then that I would find the love of my life," he says as he gives her a squeeze.

"Everything. The flight, meeting my parents, my missing symbiote, what's going on with Trevor, all of it. It's what women do, Isamu, it's part of the package." Ashley replied as she sunk into the squeeze, as they walked towards the flight counter. " That's the advantage you men have, you don't worry near as much as we do."

Isamu raises an eye brow, "I do not think the being male or female determines what level of worry one possess. I do believe it is more easily accepted for women to show their worry than for a man though. Society expects men to show that they are calm and collected and handling any circumstance, when in reality they may be reeling inside with worry a fret," he says as they walk.
He pauses and then thinking that maybe he is leading her to know how much worries he has, he adds, "then again, depending on position and type of employment someone possesses determines too how much worry is acceptable for them to show. For instance if the pilot of our plane whether man or woman, exhibited any trepidation about the flight we are about to take, how many passengers do you think would actually board?"

"That's not helping."Ashley replied, shaking her head. She stopped and sniffed the air with a smile.
They had reached the food court

Isamu tries to think of how he can help her feel better. He thought his reasoning was a sound logical way of looking at things. He realized too, now was not the time to admit he too held so many of the same worries she did. "As I understand it, this is a very long flight, perhaps we can use some time to work on our breathing and meditation techniques. While a centered chi will not immediately relieve us of any worries, it should help us better handle any situations that arise."
As they walk through the food court he says, "perhaps you should just get a large one, and I will share some from yours, I am not feeling very hungry."

Ashley nodded, and headed off to one of the vendors. She returned a few minutes later with a dish with two spoons sticking out of it, with four different colour scoops of ice cream. Ashley offered a spoon, " I told her to suprise me. Never had chocolate and orange pineapple together before."
After a mouthful that produced a slight smile, she continued towards the baggage checks, which they got through without issue, then to the boarding area. The icecream had just been finished when the boarding call came for their first flight, to San Francisco. At the counter, the airline attendant at the counter gave them both odd looks when Ashley used her team's government badge for ID, but Ashley gave a comforting " we're on vacation" to set the attendant at ease.
Aboard the plane and seated into their oversized first class seat, once buckled Ashley lay her head on Isamu's shoulder and intertwined her fingers with his. " I still can't beleive we're doing this," she said lowly.

Isamu used his passport to board the flight although he had his team ID with him.
When they board and Ashley cuddles up to him he leans his head against hers. "which part is not believable," he asks her.
