When he knocks, Ashe goes still as a stone mid-pace. She's waited for this for hours and now she can't quite bring herself to move. The part of her that is queen reminds the rest of her that he can wait, that everybody can wait for her, even if it is polite not to let them wait too long.
Still, she gives it a minute, glancing around her room frantically as she suddenly feels like she needs to arrange herself before she lets him in, not wanting Basch to see her just standing in the middle of the room she's been briskly storming through all afternoon.
There's an awkward moment where, after arriving beside the fire - a spot she secretly feels most comfortable - Ashe forgets where she wants to put her arms before she poses like she's just turned away from watching the flames and calls over her shoulder.
