Asch would always save her, even if he wanted her to get stronger he knew she would need it. She does her best but she, like the Dreck, was to pampered. His eyes stayed on her, as he watched the tears start to fall he didn't really know how to react at first until she started to speak.

It took everything in him not to jerk back when she reached out, he stayed still even when her hand didn't connect. A moment passed before he reached out when she spoke of the Dreck confirming, reaching out taking the hand held his way.

"I am dead." he spoke simply, stating fact. "Tell me the Dreck at least killed Van." In the moment that mattered as much as Natalia being there. "Or did you get killed in the process to?" he kind of gathered by now that death didn't matter but still. He tried to sound cold but his eyes traveled over her to make sure she was okay.
