“I know we didn’t get on right from the start, but I meant it when I said I’ve got your back now. Ever since that fight with Arthur... I’ve known damn well that you’d protect me and and my guys just like I’d protect yours. We’ve got a deal sure, but I think you know what I mean.”
Ash knows he’s going on a tangent with this but he wants to make a point. He doesn’t trust people easily, and while this most definitely isn’t on a personal level in the way it is with his guys, Eiji, Shorter, so on and so forth, it’s enough to have any of his trust at all. Holding out his hand, Ash gives a little head tilt, “I know you’re not a big fan of white guys-- trust me, I heard enough about that in the beginning, but you know we’ve got you if you need us.”
