[ Despite no real problem talking about sex, Ash was about to tell him he was offering more than Ash was asking when the point comes across and the words die on his tongue. A whore, huh? That alone is fine. It's a bit ridiculous to think manual labor is fine but selling sex is somehow worse. Ash has nothing against the profession, per se, so much as what it means to him.

Carefully, he hides it. What followup would he have should something show? Nothing that he wants to leak. Perhaps they have more in common than he originally thought. Maybe he survived through sex not by selling but by bargaining. Of course, the most obvious answer, in normal conversation, is usually the right one. ]

Yeah? Prostitute?

[ At least, despite his earlier jabs, there's no judgement there. Ash is far, far from someone to judge. ]

Whores can be bad at their jobs too, you know. Some people'll just pay for them to lay there if the face is pretty enough.
