30	** During one of the possible teatimes with Sasha, he will remark that he's not worried Gareth will suddenly turn around and lust after Hilda after rejecting her since childhood since he has "peculiar taste". [[spoiler: Indeed, he's gay and had a SecretRelationship with Zakhari that was basically the reason the house was set on fire]].

34	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sasha is pretty standoffish towards Aidan and is implied to be resentful of his master and Zakhari, but his love and care for his sister Hilda is clear as day. Additionally, if Aidan brings him his stuffed animal during teatime, Sasha will be genuinely grateful.
