[When Asch heard the sound in the back room, he'd assumed someone was trying to break in and steal some of the stock- which was stupid but not unheard of, despite the fact that the alcohol was free. Still, he ran the bar, and he dislikes thievery (it interfered with his inventory, dammit), and the invasion would have him on edge all night if he didn't go to investigate. Thus, armed with a frying pan (because it's probably some drunk idiot so a sword would be overkill and Rapunzel's right, the damn things are versatile) he steps into the room.

And finds Norma there, crying.
