Serhiem though long and hard, his hand rubbing his beard to signify his that he was in deep thought. Everyone had their suggestions, some better than others for the couple. It was minutes before he came to a consensus on what the punishment should be for the two. "I have made my mind on the punishment. Fintan, you shall train boys to become men, Gallocemen at that. You will do this until they are competent enough to go head-to-head with the more experienced Gallocemen." His head then turned towards Aifric.

"As for you, you shall work [b]alongside[/b] the Thralls. Learn what their plight as they have harder work than you do, be happy that your marriage has survived this long," the chief stated before clearing out his throat. "Now, whether you two stay wed or not is up to you, however, should you come back with the same problem then you will be shamed. Go and begin your punishments," he waved his hand to signal for them to leave." the blind man sunk into his seat for a moment before he straightened up one more, wanting to not seem to be annoyed that this had to happen. Though, it was innevitable that something like this would have come to them in the future.

It was at that moment that Serhiem knew that this would be a very long time in the valley. He let lose a sigh of despair, being chief was not going to be an easy thing for him to do. Though, at least he had the ring to help him along the way and that he was grateful for. He looked around at everyone who was apart of the ring. "Well, as you were everybody. We have a lot of things to do," he said before getting up and departing from the clan hall.

Soon Serhiem departed with a caravan and some guards, four Gallocemen and six kernsalong with his sister of course., to head north to the neighboring Gearalti clan. He sought trade with them, wishing to make a better profit and markets and maybe making some peaceful relations happen. He would take some gifts along for them, five goods worth, just to show what the Aonghus crafters could make for them. He knew that they may not like their work all too much, but it was the thought that counted.
