[Too many tavern brawls always has Asher watching but everyone here is acting twitchy, so he drops it, taking a moment to think about the answer. Or pretending to. There aren't any noble intentions here unless honesty counts.]
It's an investment. [Melisende and Liadan's words, not his originally but they are now.] I join up, the crew help out where they can but take on other work, we get to say we helped out, fought crazy shit, future employers line up because they know we can take on anything. Better to have the mercenaries on your side.
[Live and die by your reputation and Asher already has one but it never hurts to pad it out while he still has all his limbs in working order.]
