You thirsty? [There's a sidewalk vendor with a coffee stand just a little way ahead, probably set up mostly to cater to commuters catching the train.] C'mon, I'll buy you a drink.
[Well he certainly doesn't seem to be rethinking his association with Ash at least. If the guy expected to be treated like a pariah for that admission, he's got another think coming.]
