Gallus' lips curled into a smile at Irenya's answer, "I'll take that as a yes." Gallus sat up straight and placed his hands on the table, "Now, if there is nothing else, I think we've had a good talk. There may be more in the future if other issues come forth, but I, personally, am pleased with its success." Gallus looked to Fendros and Ahnasha, "Thank you all for taking the time," he then turned to Irenya, "And thank you for being open and patient." He began to stand up from the table, "I believe we are done here."

There was no second thought as Fendros stood up from his chair as well. He had a nearly blank face, thoughtful, but also somewhat mourning. His eyes seemed lost and avoided contact with others. He didn't say a word as he made his way to the lower decks.

Along the way, as soon as he and Ahnasha were out of sight from Irenya, Fendros drew Ahnasha into a sudden, tight hug. He didn't have any words just yet, but he sniffed as if he was holding in tears.
