This was a very odd conversation. Ash suspected he knew where it was going but why? Why him? The corners of his mouth twitched slightly at the mental image of a raven fitting itself into a suitcase just so it wouldn't be left behind. He suspected that it would be very uncomfortable for the raven.
"What are you proposing, Rook?" Anyone else, he would have asked them to speak plainly but Rook often did that anyway. He had mentioned that Ash needed to be wooed before - which would make sense. Making sure a Toreador wasn't just going to take off on you was a good way to start and he knew it.
