Ket went to Rayne, saying a few words before he put the key back and hurried back towards Ashley. The smell of his friends blood made his body tense, but he didn't say a single word. Instead, he watched and even admired how Ashley was with the man. He was so kind...and even if Ashley didn't see his own actions as commendable, he knew others had to notice it.
Ket saw how Ashley was reacting to it all, it was clearly overwhelming. Rubbing his friends back, Ket then looked at Moris and backed away so that the gate of his cell could be opened. "Take it slow when you walk...take your time."
Rayne went over to the other two, noticing Moris and being unable to help himself with smelling Ashley's blood. Clearly the young vampire didn't mind the bite, so Rayne dismissed it. "I'll bring her down once he's ready to come out." He said softly.
Alra was quiet now, her body lightly shaking while her head was buried against Rayne's chest, blocking out her sight in the process.
