Apart from a few small bouts of conversation, the impact of the previous argument had a lingering impact. Everyone was quiet as they finished their food and drink. Fendros was as frustrated as Ahnasha that the problem with Irenya could not be resolved there, but he stopped short of becoming as angry as she was. Rhazii was scared by the confrontation, but more importantly then, he didn't want any further attention drawn to themselves in the city.

Tzirret, Sabine, and Peiter arrived back to see the tension first hand, but without context, it was rather awkward. After hearing about what happened from Janius after they began moving out, Sabine wasn't slightly glad that she wasn't around for the argument.

As the packs followed Ra'maranja out of the city with, presumably, extra supplies carried by his pack, Fendros felt at the same time safer and less safe. They were out of the city, and a seedy city it was, but he had to place trust in strangers where the situation with the Senchal clan was not certain. Not only that, but he had to hope that Ahnasha and Irenya would not decide to renew their feud at the first opportunity without some kind of mediation.
