Somehow, Rossarm took it upon himself to chase away the awkwardness of the situation. He swirled, smelled, and gently tasted the wine Janius had handed him, before striking up a conversation with Janius about the wine's origin. A topic Rossarm could matter-of-factly swim in without weighing the whole atmosphere down. This in turn brought everyone else's voices back to where they had been before Rossarm's arrival.

Fendros took a deep, luxurious breath in and out. His perspective on his father was now properly changed, albeit without forgiveness for the past. His own temper crept close to imitating his father towards Rhazii and his other packmates, and in that he saw Rossarm as a man who was not fortunate enough to have Fendros' circle of support.

But that was then. Fendros' family now had a much kinder way to love and grow each other. He was unsure of whether the close care he wished he could give during the war would prove a greater challenge to now embrace, so late after the unrelenting worry and exhaustion of their continent-spanning conflict. He smiled at Rhazii as the boy swallowed the embarrassment of his actions, not knowing yet how admirable they were. He smiled at his pack, scarred but together in this next, happier chapter. And he smiled at Ahnasha, wordlessly looking back into her eyes with that familiar feeling of love welling up inside of him.

"Thank you, Ahna," he said to her quietly. "This was the right thing to do, bringing father here." He glanced at Rhazii. "I actually have been mulling over an idea, Ahna. I have received word from a few clan leaders of some minor threats to the clan homes after the losses inflicted by the battle. Some renegade daedric cults, beasts, other creatures, that sort of thing. Being the new champion means these could be opportunities to help directly and show some commitment to protecting the clans. But, I thought you might be interested in joining me on these hunts, given there could be some rare resources available from them. And..." he tilted his head. "I think it's time Rhazii got a taste of a hunt outside of this place. What do you think?"
