[I'm confused whether you were learning forging or philosophy?]
Astaroth chuckled as soon as they were out of the forge. However, Ashton wasn't laughing. Every word that came out of Vulcan's mouth was a lesson. As someone who went through all that shit to make a few cackling flames, Ashton knew Vulcan's words were more than a simple lesson.
Someone like Astaroth wouldn't realise the weight those words held. Nor did Ashton want to waste his time making Astaroth realise what he was missing out on. So, rather than correcting him and wasting his time, Ashton decided to get some sleep.
Being a tribrid wasn't easy. Ashton had to take care of nutrition for each of his genes, and he also needed to fulfil even the minuscle demands.
That's why although he wasn't required to sleep, he still wanted to rest his eyes for a couple of hours to give his mind a chance to relax and unwind. Especially after the time, he spent in the forge.
