Ahnasha took only a few moments to think as she looked Jatinha over. She had no reason to believe that the Khajiit had any other motivations aside from what she had been told. It was not as if they were going to be discussing any dangerous topics, and it did not seem as if Jatinha would argue if Aurana and Janius wanted to speak privately, so Ahnasha did not see any risk in allowing it. "It would be easier for Jatinha to escort Aurana back home quickly if she is already with us, I suppose. I see no harm in it." She answered to Rhazii, before turning to Janius and Kaleeth for confirmation. Kaleeth nodded in agreement, and with no arguments otherwise, the group continued on to the castle. 

Since Aurana rarely left her home, it was unlikely that any of the castle guards would recognize her, but they still made an effort not to bring any attention to Aurana or Jatinha. If they were going to attempt to get Aurana back without her parents knowing she was gone, then it would be best if no one remembered seeing her. Although, they still decided not to bring her directly to their room in the barracks, since Lorag, Sabine, or Meesei could be asleep, and even if they were not, they were not likely sleeping in a state that would adhere to Aurana or Jatinha's sense of modesty. Instead, they wandered for a few minutes until they found a dining room that would be suitable for them to use to sit and talk. It was more than late enough at night that no one was using it, and it would not be used until early next morning. There was also a fireplace that they could use to help Aurana warm back up and dry off. 

They pulled up a few chairs next to the fireplace while Ahnasha gathered up some firewood, though Julan was not sure if he should be sitting down, or doing anything else. He was not yet sure if he was in trouble, as his father had been mostly silent for most of the walk to the castle. It made him nervous, but at the same time, he really wanted to stay and talk with his aunt, after having been denied the chance to have any kind of long conversation with his grandparents. 

Julan clasped one hand nervously over the other and spoke up in a hesitant, somewhat awkward tone. "So, um, you said your parents haven't told you much about father? What did they tell you about him?" Julan asked Aurana.
