"No," Rex answered immediately after Arthas asked. What a ridiculous question. At a time like this, even if Rex had ties to Scott, he would never admit it.
After hearing Rex's answer, Arthas said nothing more and fell silent. The discussion continued, but Rex remained quiet for most of it, much like Kael'thas. Not long ago, Kael'thas had confessed his love to Jaina and been rejected. Rex knew about it, as did everyone else present.
