[ that... would be because he has no idea Connor is a lawyer, and honestly, Ashe has been a part of the team that much longer. it gives him seniority — and for all his ridiculousness... Stiles remembers how he was, with the kid that had been afftected in Woodhurst. ]
because that gives you an idea to the more contract-y parts of negotiating, right?
and if we're going to come out of this without a war, then we're going to need something more than "hey would you just get along that'd be nice"
[Asher has not forgotten that Stiles was there, though the significance of his actions, perhaps, have yet to register still.]
monetary, mostly, though ig you could argue that the excessive fighting would lead to damages that would be unpayable or juuuuust not worth it at some point
ya gots yer destruction of infrastructure, cost of war, and just plain ol' effin D-E-A-T-H ma
gotta convince em that the pros overrule the cons but uh
might wanna get the ladies to do the talkin on that one
don't ask why i have no clue it's not like i know anything about technology
[ maybe he wouldn't be saying this, but Asher's incredulity mirrors his own... and it's not like he's really talked about this with anyone so far. no one seems to be at all unhappy with the specialization they were given. ]
wait are YOU not a negotiator? i thought that's like, a given for a future lawyer
[Asher feels the smart of that innocent remark plain as day.
He wants to say that he knows, that any future lawyer worth their salt would have a seat at that table. The ugliness inside of him still seethes over the fact that others with no formal training or adequate preparation have been selected to walk that path, and the better half of his consciousness wallows in shame over the fact that he is cruel enough to even think such thoughts in secret.
Jin deserves his place with them, Connor too, even Maya-]
[ there's a delay in his response, and Stiles wonders about the reason: is he just as confused about the choices as he is? was it a sore spot that he just hit, accidentally?that maybe where Stiles feels he doesn't belong with the inventors, Asher feels he'd belong with the negotiators. ]
dude, they have to have made some mistakes here
it's not like they've done a stellar job with everything up til now, anyway, they've gotta have messed up it's not you not making the cut, it's them messing up where to make the cut
[And yet, Asher knows in his heart of hearts that he had never really deserved his spot at Middleton. Conversations from day to day seem to prove that he seems to be doing a terrible job of convincing people that he is worth their salt and little more than a waste of space, so what if they aren't wrong?]

Asher vaguely remembers a moment where the other may have poked fun at him, but that's about it.]
law student but uh
[He wonders why him as opposed to one of the other more competent members of the team, although for now, he won't question it.]
yeah, why?

or, well, not US specifically
i guess we have to pitch this to the girls and hope they handle it for us... or for the people who've got the, you know, classification or whatever
[ specialization, Stiles, it's called specialization ]
no subject
[Somehow, that doesn't seem to add up. Then again, Stiles' people skills could sometime use some work, but they put Kung Jin on that team-]
that doesn't make any sense
what else would you be?
