He didn’t expect her initial outburst to his suggestion, as if the words of reasoning didn’t really sink into her at all. Ash gave Rosie a grave, stern look of warning, they didn’t have time for this, he was one moment away from simply dragging Rosie away himself, she’ll thank him later.

Plants didn’t really have feelings, at least not the way human process them, but Ash bit his tongue, as long as she was willing to move right now. “Exactly, those are the most important ones,” Ashton’s words haven’t been this curt in awhile, being nice doesn’t keep you alive. “Go, the people downstairs need help too.” He held on to the pots he could in one arm and led Rosie forward with his other, quick strides towards the stairwell.

She tilted her body to hand off some of the pots to Ashton's offered hands.

"Just the herbs?!" Rosie didn't just sound, but was personally offended and held the remaining pots a little closer as if she were covering their non-existent plant ears so they couldn't hear their parents arguing.

"Alright..." she conceded, but only because it was for her safety and Ash's. She didn't want to pass out on the stairs and break her neck over some rhubarb. "We'll grab what herbs we see on the way back down. I don't want them all to feel like I abandoned them."

Rosie frowned as though the greens were her literal children, "but at least the roof and diner are safe." When it was determined only half the building was affected, she'd feel more relief.
