Aftermath: Rook & Sthelada
Rook continued to watch Ash sleep as he nodded. "He did." The way Ash had tried screaming out for her repeatedly, unable to actually do so, as Rook had held him back had been one of the worst things the Gangrel had experienced. Ash had already known Anastasia wouldn't be coming out and seeing such grief from him had been painful. Especially when Rook had known the only thing he could do had been to hang on to him.
Despite all of that, Ash had still managed to do something when needed. "He's a rarity among the rose." He paused for a moment before adding. "I think she may have been as well." Not only the respect everyone seemed to hold for her, but he was sure most would not have stay as she had done.
