One more day of this normal routine and I'm going to fucking lose it. South Village. By the mill. Sparring partners needed before I go fucking nuts without work. Any morning from dawn until lunchish.
Ashley never thought about how much of her life was spent constantly on the go. Even in her downtime, she realized she wasn't likely to sit around long, coming up with reasons to get out and move. It's a restlessness that she took for granted when she had the Sanctuary work to do, and an entire city to traverse. Not to mention abnormals to contain, especially with the uptick because of the Cabal before this place.
Now if this place is Cabal or not, she doesn't know, but if it is, they already know what she's capable of so there's reason to hide it.
Mornings start with a run, heading out further each day, taking new routes, trying to not only learn this place but learn every path she might need for any reason. Not to mention the creatures, the resources, anything to keep her on her toes and know what she might need no matter what happens.
By the mill she practices with the few weapons she's gathered, using them in various ways so she knows the heft and weight of them in case. Everything is in case, even if here she has no idea in case of what. There's only so much a person can practice alone, so she hopes sending out that message will draw a few people to practice against. Will keep her on point, not to mention meaning she could get a chance to know more of those here. It's already been eye opening, and she's curious what else this place holds.

"And it's possible it won't? I mean... I don't know real details if he's been killing since then, or how many total there were. I just know..." She considers this, the things Beverly has told her about her own world and what might be similar. "In my world? Police are still trying to identify Jack the Ripper, and he makes up half my DNA," she says, closing her eyes just so she doesn't roll them hard enough to sprain anything.

For now, Beverly schools her expression into something sympathetic and supportive as they shift poses again. "Well, for what it's worth, Jean-Luc and I have dealt with our fair share of people like that. I suspect you can hold your own if it comes down to it, but if you need anything at all, we'd both be happy to help. Even if it's just a space to get away from it all. We certainly have enough space."

Though she smiles at that, tight if only to try and keep herself from tearing up. She's not one given to tears often, but this place has given her things Ashley never thought she would have outside of the Sanctuary.
"Thank you. I appreciate that. So much, and I will take you up on that. I really think it's totally going to be okay. Just if it's not, I want to make sure someone knows, and I trust you."

"I won't abuse that trust," she says quietly. "Now I don't know about you, but I think we need another round to really get the meditation aspect working. Shall we?"
