Ri'vashi quickly started to chuckle as Gallus was speaking about his father. "Now, are you entirely certain you were not describing Ri'vashi's father? Other than being Nord, that sounds just like Ennond. The legacy, the fighting expertise. Granted, Ri'vashi embraced those ideals a bit more whole-heartedly. With how dull this one's personal life is, there is probably nothing anyone could find to stain her image. Ri'vashi did have a glass of wine once and told a bad joke about an Altmer, but in her defense, he deserved it."

By this point, Ri'vashi was noticeably more relaxed than when they had started talking. Given that she maintained a mostly serious disposition the majority of the time, it could be assumed that relaxing was not something she did often. "Ri'vashi does not drink often. For a Cathay at least, it does not take much to bring her mind too far out of sorts for her liking."

Peiter greeted Sabine with a quick kiss on the cheek before returning his attention to Tzirret. "Yes, I'm worried about the whole attack, of course, but I'm really worried about you. You're getting a lot better, Tzirret; don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But...this attack will be a major event. Vile will certainly have a large force marshaled at his stronghold."

Letting out a sigh, Peiter looked down at his food and hesitated with his uncertainty before continuing. "I'm sure there is some way you can be helpful on the march, but...are you sure you don't want to try to avoid the fighting? If you want to talk to Gallus and ask him to keep you out of it, I'll support you completely."
