"Oh," Rook simply stated as he realized what Mab meant. That was an issue he figured he'd have with just about anyone else aside from someone like Mab who had been with him long enough to understand how he thought or another Gangrel who was as close to the beast and well—that was out of the question. "I have considered that. Which is why I know I have to at least talk to him about it." And not simply just set about courting him and hope that it worked out. Especially after the things Ash had told him. Rook could very well not be what the Toreador needed just as Ash could not be able to offer what Rook needed. Better to find out now.
Still, he wanted to give Ash something to show he was interested. And Mab kissing the tips of his fingers caused him to smile at her. "I promise to not get too set in any ideas or get my hopes up." Because all the reasons she had brought up had been reasons why he hadn't bothered looking in the first place even if the raven craved more. It was better to continue on as the three of them had been then try to take on a mate if it didn't work out.
