"We returned to Belle Morte. It was the only way to keep Asher alive; he was too badly wounded, as well as suffering your loss. Half his body was scarred from the holy water, and Belle Morte shunned him. She would have left him to die had I not promised her a hundred years of service. He lived, but Belle ignored him, and so did the rest of her court. And she made sure I had as little time as possible to spend with him. He withdrew into himself so far that I lost him entirely. When my service ended and I left Belle's service, he chose to remain with her, tucked away from view, but ultimately safe."
