Ashton rolled his eyes, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Fortunately, I did, Anna, and I had some last-minute training to finish."
Otiga laughed, suggestively shaking her hands in a to-and-fro motion. "Training, huh? Is that what you're calling it these days?"
Ashton shook his head, his eyes narrowing. "You know I'm not interested in that kind of thing, Otiga. I'm here to do a job, nothing more."
"Right, right," Otiga said, still smirking. "Just remember, Ashton, all work and no play makes for a dull life."
Ashton opened his mouth to reply, but Kass called out to them before he could say anything. "The ship is ready to go, guys. We should get moving if we want to make it to our destination in time."
Anna nodded, her expression serious. "Right. Everyone get on board. Let's get this show on the road."
