[It takes Ashe a moment to put that together, what Balthus actually means by that. Admittedly, Yuri is better at implications, but Ashe catches on nonetheless. He bites his lower lip, watching Balthus, waiting for what could be an opportunity.
So he waits, watching quietly as Balthus approaches the assassin with his arms out before he springs into action; once the assassins collide, Ashe is ducking down and scrambling to get away, but he feels a hand grab onto his ankle.
Ashe squeaks, but he doesn't remain helpless: he kicks down with his other foot, right into the man's face, getting himself loose so he can make his way to Balthus. There's the urge to apologize some more, but he swallows it back for now.
Let's just kill them both! one of the assassins growl, shoving his partner off before he's working to get back onto his feet.]
