"Huh...wait!" Newt shouted when Rhazii tapped his shoulder and started running. In his surprise, he ended up falling flat on his face as he tried to scramble to his feet. However, he was entirely undeterred, and simply stood back up and continued running after him. With the children now otherwise occupied, Kaleeth was able to move a bit closer to the fire. 

With Janius' question, both Jo'rashaad and S'ajira looked to one another. With only a slight delay, they both shook their heads. "We are not really sure, in truth. Ra'kalesh has not spoken of it, and we have not asked. This one thinks he and Ri'nakhad have just been focusing all of their efforts on the attack. What happens after this march will likely determine our future. If it goes well, then we will probably start making plans for rebuilding. If, Hircine forbid, it doesn't...well, it depends on what happens. This one hopes we will be able to find a place to rebuild in the south. The location of the outpost where we found the clan is a good one. We took as much as we could from there, but we still would have something to start with. Though, it might do well to move closer to Torval, just for the convenience of trade. Pelletine is our home, and both of us hope to return. But if we...lose too many in this attack, we may have to stay here for a while. This one doubts we would ever directly plan to stay here permanently, but if we have to stay here for long enough, that may happen anyway. Our numbers are low all ready, and this one does not know how many of us will be needed to remain a clan of our own."

"That isn't going to happen, don't worry." Ahnasha said confidently. "I know I can't promise that the attack will go off flawlessly, but we won't fail."
