The comment of nothing being free had Ashton laughing loud and boisterous as he gave the other a good smack on the back. "I can't argue with that, though sometimes if you play your cards right it becomes a beneficial exchange." He added with a purr tracking the way that Dimitri was looking for some treats. "I'm just looking forward to Father's new request as he wanted the new General to spend some time with the others to build some connection. I hope you know you're first on the list for Kane to tag along with you." he added with a wicked grin able to see the way that Dimitri bristled against this.<br/><br/>"What in the world did you do to catch his attention anyways? He's not one to usually poke and prod." Ashton had spent a decent amount of time with Kane and had been his mentor early on so the little cat and mouse game was surprising for the demon had been so stand offish when the first met and so not interested in politics that he actively fled Hell whenever he could.
