The cloud of unease that manifested from the lies continued to grow during the day for Fendros. There were times where he could ignore it, but it was always there. By the time they had to leave, a part of Fendros was relieved, despite Ahnasha's family being enjoyable company.

As for Rhazii, he continued to hide any notion of lycanthropy, but he mostly became bored by the middle of the day. He wanted to go play. Still, he enjoyed using new words, like 'uncle', 'aunt', 'grandma', and 'grandpa'. He even interchangeably used the Ta'agra equivalents sometimes.

Fendros took the candlestick in both hands as S'nashi handed it to him. He didn't have much need of a candlestick, but the gesture was heartfelt and symbolic. Unfortunately, he had to make an effort not to notice the pain that the silver caused by contacting his skin. As swiftly as he could, he pulled his sleeve slightly and used it to cover his other hand and grasp the candlestick with the fabric as a barrier. "Thank you, S'nashi. It warms my heart to know." Fendros looked to everyone else, "And thank you too, Gwindir, Vasiq. It was a pleasure to finally meet you all." Fendros then leaned towards Vasiq and Gwindir to each shake their hands. He then gave a quick hug to S'nashi.

Rhazii did his rounds as well. He excitedly embraced each of his new family members and addressed them with uncle, grandma, and grandpa, like he had been taught.

"We'll write you a letter as soon as we return to Bruma," Fendros added. Beyond that, he gave space for Ahnasha to say goodbye - properly this time.
