"I was concerned for your safety!" Ashe ruffles defensively, too rattled to notice his hand on hers. "You...didn't seem yourself." She could navigate a room full of diplomats with command and ease, but a conversation about the things he said? Like this? She's never felt more at sea, and raising her hackles however slightly comes easily.
"Perhaps you were under duress and sending a coded distress message, or–" It sounds ridiculous the moment it leaves her mouth and Ashe loathes herself for grasping at straws like this, aware Basch can see her fumbling for reasons why he would send her something so uncouth and desirous.
"I know not why you would wait until you were in such a state to say things like that to me."
