To Ahnasha, it seemed that Fendros was braver than herself when it came to admitting his condition. Granted, Ahnasha had gone with a different explanation for her absence. With Fendros, the truth might have been the least painful option to give them. The Daedra were not quite as Taboo among the Dunmer as they were in Cyrodilic culture, so the association with Hircine might not have been quite as bad. Plus, it would affirm to his mother that he did not suddenly leave by his own choice, and did not intend to hurt them. Their situations were different, so it was natural that their approaches would be different. Calia at least did not react badly to the news, though they did not have time to gauge her opinion on the revelation before they heard footsteps coming from the hall. Ahnasha had little doubt of who it was. She had hoped that Fendros would be able to explain everything to his mother before moving on to his father, but she supposed it was too much to expect that everything go to plan. 

The atmosphere became much more tense once Fendros' father, Rossarm, entered the room. She did not know a great deal about him, but even if she had, she knew there was nothing she could do to clear the tension. All she could do was stay silent, and hope that Fendros would be able to say what his father needed to hear.

When Harriet finally re-emerged, Meesei did not act as if she was angry per ce, but neither was she pleasant. Her gaze was intense as she stood with her arms crossed, staring down Harriet. Even Meesei's own pack likely did not know what was going to happen until she finally spoke up. 

"Do not fear, I am not going to kill you. Only a monster would kill the parent of a child like that." Meesei answered harshly. Given the context of Harriet's crimes, the insult was obvious. 

"What I want first is information. I want you to tell me everything that has happened since you fled the clan." Meesei demanded.
