Ashe just seemed miserable but she did still seem to have some grasp on herself at that point in time, if only barely. About the most he had to deal with at the time was her clinging to his shirt, but her hands were just staying there. Maybe that was just that inner part of her that knew how things could turn out if she acted on it - stopping herself with what little control she did seem to have. Although it didn't seem like long before she was just almost seeming to pass out in his arms.
