Ask Ash if the vehicle has a galley or something where we could all sit and get some nourishment while we wait for Carma's battle with the gods to resolve itself. It'd be good to get Marshall and Long out of here and make sure they're healthy.
As for what's in it for Ash to help you... well, Carma didn't say to keep you here, just to keep an eye on you. And if she comes out on top in her heavenly contest, there's a chance she'll want help from all of us to oppose Shume and his ilk. And she may need that help sooner than she realized, so its to all our benefit if Marshall and Long are active and alert.
And look at it another way... she may lose her contest with the gods. Her whole plan could fall apart. In that case, we need allies and an escape plan. Our odds are better together. Surely by now Ash has seen that Long is not his greatest enemy, nor the Marshguards his most dangerous, with the Master running amok and the gods in reprisal.
