Ashlyn smiled at Wade and then Irene.  She tilted her head a bit "Hmm music... you need a distraction from our lovely company?"  she grinned impishly.  It was a tease and something to break the slight uncomfortable feeling for anyone involved.  She kissed Emiko's cheek before moving into the living room and bringing in a portable stereo.  The other stereo was way too large for her to move.<br/><br/>"If you wish to stay in the kitchen, then this is going to have to do.  If not, the living room has a wonderful entertainment system"<br/><br/>She smiled and then retrieved a cup of juice for Emiko from the fridge and taking it over to her and offering it to her before she smiled.  'So... Luke was it?  How about you?  How was your trip here?  How are you liking it so far?"  she had the patience to know when someone felt a little left out.  She had that practice with Emiko.
