Rhazii's presence seemed to put a permanent endearing grin across Llarasa's face. She lent Rhazii her hand under the cub's grasp and he promptly stuck her fingers into his mouth, but she just giggled. "I'm not experienced with children at all, really. You've probably heard what Dunmer are like, I wasn't expecting to become an aunt this century, and I doubt I'll become a mother in that time, either." Llarasa craned her head down to Rhazii and pouted, "Aren't you just the cutest little thing." She close her eyes and pulled her head back when Rhazii ran his fingers down her face, but she didn't seem to mind too much. "He is probably the thing I expected to see the least after Fendros left, but he is beautiful. Oh, I wish I had the time to sketch him."

"Oh? You started a sketch book again?" Fendros asked.

Llarasa nodded and pointed to the book on her bedside. "Mhm, it's right there. I started again shortly after you left. With how everyone was behaving, it kept me sane, really."

The book she pointed to was the same as she was grasping when she knocked on Fendros and Ahnasha's door. Fendros leaned over and picked it up. She flipped through it in the view of both Ahnasha and Llarasa. There were a lot of skilled sketches in the book, mainly of little plants or small landscapes, but also of people. It was clear that she was more skilled than Ahnasha, but Fendros wasn't going to rudely point that out. Llarasa had a ten year head start after all. "Well, we're here for the rest of the night and leaving in the morning, you could knock on our door again, if you liked. I'm sure if we could sort this out, Monderyn might like to know everything as well." Fendros didn't notice how optimistic he had become.

With that, Llarasa's face darkened. "No, I don't think...no, that's not a good idea. Monderyn, he...he is still incredibly angry." Llarasa's lips tightened. "He has become more hateful of everything, really. But especially you. I don't know what he would do if he found out but..." Llarasa's shoulders began to hunch in fear, "He's prone to violent outbursts these days. I don't want him to break anything or hurt anyone. I think we should keep this from him and you should leave early in the morning. Just stay in your rooms for a while, I think that would be safest."

Fendros placed a hand on Llarasa's back and looked down to see her eyes. "He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"On a couple of occasions, yes. He was remorseful afterwards, but he...he scares me now..."

Looking up at Ahnasha, Fendros didn't really know what to do. They couldn't afford to get a room in another inn. He considered perhaps for Llarasa's safety that they venture out of the city to find a place in the wilds, but that would take a long time and leave the pack far from any carriages in the morning. Perhaps they should just stay in their room for the rest of the day.

"Okay," Sabine agreed quietly. Though, she didn't have to be asked after the stress of today. She would likely not stray from Meesei's side until further notice.

Underneath it all, Sabine felt a tiny pang of annoyance at being referred to as a child underhandedly. She was fifteen, didn't that mean she could take care of herself? It made her put on a glum expression while she walked out with Meesei.
