Ashlyn: ["So you're planning a way out?"]

The girl sat cross-legged in her bed. The purely-white room almost drove her insane at that point thanks to its blandness and what little color the place had. However, the walkie talkie strapped to her clothes brought her some comfort, especially with the voice from the other side. She heard the sound of many things, occasional thumps, clicking like that of something being set up, a pen clicking, and then scribbling.

On the other side of the line, Y/N looked through the scope and towards the building that Ashlyn was being held in. He scribbled on a map of the city an escape route, doodling about different lines in different colors, with a few words and directions here and there. By his side was a gun mounted to a tripod, aiming at the ready in case anything tried to surprise him at the window. At the girl's question, he hums.

Y/N (through walkie-talkie): ["Yeah. The facility is kinda far from the city so that is proving a bit difficult but... It's coming along"] He continued to scribble and doodle away, also tracing a digital map on his cellphone ["There's many different routes, but the majority are... Less than optimal"]

Ashlyn: ["And you're planning to come and scout around the place during the night, yeah?"] At her question, she heard him hum in affirmation once again ["Sounds dangerous. Are you sure about it?"]

Y/N (through walkie-talkie): ["My wounds are practically non-existent at this point. I'm doing mostly fine... I initially planned to camp around the facility, but with a forest so thick it would prove difficult to hold my position against the Phantoms"] The girl softly hummed in acknowledgement — At one point not even the walls of the bus graveyard were safe, so his fear checks out ["But if it's just for an hour or two I can definitely hold my ground and see about a plan"]

Ashlyn: ["Again, just be careful about it... It's already a major advantage and relief to know we have someone on the outside"] The girl comments with a bit of a lighter tone, also feeling her muscles a lot more relaxed than they were a few hours back ["Speaking of, you're said you're staying at a hotel nearby, right? Is it any safe?"]

Y/N (through walkie-talkie): ["My brother put his men here to watch over me under the guise they are tourists... I don't trust him, not one bit, but he's the only option we have"] Y/N commented with his voice growing a bit more serious at the mention of his kin, something that did not go unnoticed by Ashlyn ["That and it should be fine if we stay out of his way. At the end of the day, he's got Elio in there, so..."]

Ashlyn: ["It still surprised me a lot when I saw him, even through the makeup he was using. But far from me to complain"] She smirks while leaning against the wall, her eyes closing for a moment ["... He's very capable. I can see why you like him"]

Y/N (through walkie-talkie): ["Elio is the closest thing I had to a family for the longest time... Until you bunch came along and here we are now"] He comments while letting out a small chuckle, one that Ashlyn replied with one of her own ["He kept me safe during a lot of times. Trained me, too... And also kept me from being taken"] His tone getting a bit darker did not go unnoticed ["Even though he had to... Yeah..."]
