She meant more about ending up on the platform rather than stepping foot on the train - a choice between living or an uncertain Bad Time is not really a choice. Given those odds, Ash also chose to head on the train - she'd made it this far already and she had no plans to end this journey any time soon. It felt relatively safe to assume that most of those here were of a like mind.

"That sounds a little like where I came from, though there was a tale that some of the heroes from home actually fought a train." She wasn't sure how much she believed that rumor in its base form - maybe if it was the heroes fought someone while on a train she'd find it more believable. "Some of the stories told by the wandering minstrels are outlandish. I'm sure your home has some outlandish tales of its own though too."
