Ash stepped away and closed the door, watching the two hugged and tried to smile politely, but thoughts of Brenna kept interrupting. "She's resting in my room." Ash replied and then flickered her gaze back to the new girl. "Please excuse me." She said softly and left, leading herself to the kitchen.

With the two left behind for now, Ash went to find their lost golden companion and frowned sadly when she found her. She was as glorious naked as she was clothed and although Ash had always slightly envied the girl, now she missed her.

Drawing a deep breath, she quickly cleaned up the kitchen so their new guest would be happy coming in there as well as any room and collected Brenna, lifting her dead weight with ease and carefully taking her up to her quarters.

She scanned for signs of Phaedra waking and found none as she walked down the hall and made it to Brenna's own bed. Gently she lay her down and covered her nakedness with a pale silk sheet. "Rest in peace Brenna." She murmured and then walked back down to see to Vaj and his 'blood doll'.
