Dustin thought that being saved was not something that made you owe someone. They made a choice when they saved you. That was their choice. Plus, most people deserved to be saved whether they could 'return the favor' or not. Ashley, for example. He didn't think she would be able to save his life if he was being murdered with dark magic. But here he was protecting her anyway. It was for more reasons than just the (very good) money, too.

"I don't want to rule the world. I want to just be in charge of myself and my 'family'. Neither of you are going to rule the world either. You're too nice for that, and so am I." Good people didn't last very long in charge, power corrupted people, and also... world domination was just bad, in general. He figured Ash's father was rich enough to rule a bit of the world, but he wasn't a good man anymore. So.

"Oooh I can't wait to play." SHE HAD LOADS OF CASH. She'd probably stop playing after she won a couple things, but she was definitely gonna win something because she practically had unlimited chances. Perks of being a billionaire? She felt a little bit guilty about it. She figured she'd pay for other people to have extra chances too. Maybe she'd feel better after that.

Dustin turned a little bit pink and focused very focusedly on looking at the wand. It required lots of focus.

"I think Dustin can protect himself just fine." Like uhhh, why was he a bodyguard if he couldn't? His big mucles weren't for decoration. Ok... knowing Dustin, they probably WERE there partially for decoration... but that was besides the point. "Dustin and Alex are both practicing fighting wizards, you know. We found a dueling teacher who was willing to... do things a little differently." It hadn't been very hard. Because everyone needed money, and Father had lots of it. "But that's supposed to be a secret, so don't tell."

Ash was a good whisperer, but Dustin was a good listener. So he was listening to them! Be warned!!!

"I still haven't used my coupon, Mister Professor Sir Aguilar! But I wasn't planning on using it. I'm gonna keep it forever because it's like a trophy." She paused. "Is it TRUE that you wrote a book? I heard that from someone." And if it WAS true, she'd (unfortunately) be stopping by to buy his book and talk to him. HAVE FUN TALKING TO ASH FOR MORE THAN THIRTY SECONDS. Hahahahaha.

“Hm,” she hummed after Ash’s comments. She wasn’t sure how to feel about that. Lisa would have agreed with Dustin if she knew his viewpoint. If someone saved her, she didn’t technically owe them anything except for maybe a ‘thank you’ but that was it. Nothing more! No eternal gratitude or yadiyada mumbo-jumbo nonsense. Just a thank you was simple and profound enough.

Warm eyes flicked to Dustin curiously when he said that neither one of them would rule the world and Lisa scoffed in response with a quick retort. “Yet.” She tutted and placed a hand on her hip. “Im sure some corrupt people were nice when they were our age. Had to start from somewhere.” With that, she flashed Dustin an angelic smile followed by a giggle.

Eyes flicked back to Ash who seemed really excited about the game. “You can go ahead of me if you want,” she offered to Ash because her friend looked like she was ITCHING to go. Eyes flicked to Dustin when Ash mentioned that he could protect himself and then back to Ash. “REALLY? Even against magic??” she asked her friend perplexed. Sure muggles could do a lot of things but realistically against some awful spells?!? Lisa was doubtful. “Can a Muggle wield a wand?” Then again maybe there was a business case to make with Muggle friendly wands that muggles could use. She GASPED! when she heard Ash’s comment about bending the rules and there being a kooky dueling instructor. “Isnt that y’know… against the Statue of Secrecy?” And like against the lawwwww? Just who was Ash’s family?
