[i]"Of course. The most important thing for him to learn is of the Hist, and his connection to it. I would certainly be the perfect person for him to speak to about that.[/i] Thorantilth remarked. 

Kaleeth nodded. [i]"Thank you. We, um, my father also said we should ask the Elders for permission to remain in the village, at least for the next few days. Since I...left the village."[/i] 

Thorantilth leaned forward and placed a hand upon Kaleeth's shoulder. [i]"Kaleeth-Rei, you may have left the village, but you are still one of the tribe. We cannot keep you from your home. The village will be moving soon, but not within the next week. You can stay as long as you need, and the other Elders will say the same."[/i]

[i]"Even the Master-Hunter?"[/i] Kaleeth asked worriedly. 

Thorantilth did not hesitate in the slightest. [i]"Even Juran-Selth."[/i]

The three of them waited just a few minutes to allow Vasiq enough time to inform Ahnasha's parents before finally heading downstairs. Most of the patrons did not seem to be acting strangely, so it appeared like Vasiq had at least succeeded in preventing any sudden outbursts. However, that did not last too long, as Ahnashap's parents spotted her immediately as soon as they were down the stairs, and they did not make it halfway across the inn before her mother shot up from her seat to meet them. "Oh, divines it [i]is[/i] true! And I thought Vasiq was just making some kind of prank. My little cub and her husband...oh this could not be any better!" 

Naturally, S'nashi ran up and hugged her daughter immediately, but once she released Ahnasha, her attention finally turned to Rhazii. She too had similar fur in pattern to Ahnasha, though greyed. Her dress was a simple and modest tan garment, and certainly much less expensive than she would have been able to afford as a merchant. She showed less surprise than Shevari, but was still overjoyed to see him. "My, how you have grown, Ma'rhazii! I feel like I am dreaming, finally seeing my grandson almost all grown up. [i]My[/i] grandson. Oh, how wonderful that sounds to say!"
