"I'm glad she improved. I know how important the Champion is to you, and she has been nothing but kind to me as well. Really, I don't know how well any of us would be faring without her. She is like...a symbol. She's unquestionably our leader, she's powerful, and she's accomplished a lot. I think there are some people who don't like her, but I don't think most people would be feeling hopeful about the future if she died, especially after last night." Peiter commented

Just as before, Peiter became visibly more uncomfortable once the topic shifted to him. "Uthri said she and Tzirret were with me all night. I don't want to talk to Gallus."

Ma'tanza nodded solemnly. "This one has been with her sister all night. She hasn't had a chance to...see how others fared." She explained. Based on what Tzirret had said so far, she guessed that at least Peiter was hurt, but was probably alive. "Who in your pack was hurt? Is everyone alright now?" She asked. 

S'nishi, having been on the frontlines with Gallus' pack, knew what had transpired during the attack. She lowered her head regretfully, but she could not answer Ma'tanza's question.

Meesei gave a sigh as she continued to search the crowd around them. "You disappoint me, Gallus. I remember what happened to Peiter. Your actions then were certainly justified, no doubt. Indeed, it may have been the only way to safe him. But, he is still young, inexperienced, and he has been through more trauma than anyone rightly should. He woke only to be faced with the reality that his life has been forever changed for the worse. Even a career soldier would have a difficult time coming to terms with that. It does not seem likely that he is able to think rationally at the moment. But, it seems to me that you understand that now; I just hope he comes to forgive you. He will calm down in time; accept his situation. When he can look at the situation with a cool head, he will understand that you did the right thing to save him. But, I do not know how easily he will forgive your...reaction today. I would advise being patient, give him time to calm."

Among the crowd behind them, Meesei finally spotted Ri'vashi walking alongside the warriors, inspecting the formation. She was moving forward closer to them, though Meesei did not want to shout out for her quite yet, so she decided to wait until she grew closer. "For now, you should see to your own health, and not just physically. There will be a memorial for those who have fallen, like Irenya. I rarely spoke to her myself, but from what my pack has told me, she had turned around almost her entire personality prior to the attack. Ahnasha said that she showed genuine remorse for her treatment of her and Fendros, and even sought to make amends. To realize one's faults and work through them...it is one of the greatest examples of courage and mental strength I can imagine. It requires making an enemy of your own mind, then defeating it. Tamriel would be better to have more people like her."
