Kaleeth's reaction was delayed by a few more moments of sobbing, and did not acknowledge Tunxeek at first. She uncovered her face, then pushed herself up to her feet. Staring straight ahead, she closed her eyes, then took in a long breath. [i]"I'm sorry. You've helped me, Tunxeek, you really have, but I can't talk about this. I...thank you, but I just can't."[/i] 

Not waiting a moment longer, Kaleeth suddenly rushed away, back towards Thorantilth's hut. She wanted nothing more than to talk about her experience with anyone, even Tunxeek, but it was true that she could not talk about it with him, given the nature of what had been revealed to her. However, she could talk with Janius, and it was the first thing on her mind. 

Kaleeth did the best she could to regain her composure before she headed back into Thorantilth's hut. As he was currently receiving his marks, Kaleeth did not want to worry Julan at the moment. Although, he hardly even reacted to her return at all. Janius, however, would be able to see that she had been sobbing when she moved close enough to him. She wanted to ask him if they could go somewhere else, but failed to speak at all. Her discomfort and uncertainty, at the least, would be obvious to Janius.

Ahnasha did not let Fendros get out the door before she stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. "Listen, all that you feel about your father, just keep in mind that I feel it too. He enrages me in all the same ways as he does for you, but I still want to try. I want to do everything I can to make sure both of us get out of this invasion alive, and I genuinely think that having him, and more people with his strength, will make that more likely. That's why I can bite my tongue and fight alongside Thalmor, Molag Bal's daedra, or that monster Neesa. If it starts to get to you...just start thinking about wanting to get out of this with our family intact." 

Ahnasha was quick to follow Fendros out afterwards. Calia and the rest of Fendros' family were still downstairs with Ahnasha's family at adjacent tables. Ahnasha did notice that the time they had been away was enough that her family no longer looked quite as shaken up, but that did not stop her mother from greeting her with another worry-filled hug. Ahnasha and Fendros could not escape having to talk with her family for at least a short time, as Ahnasha did not want to brush them aside after going through something so stressful. She had a feeling that the event had put some questions in their minds about her, given her usage of magic, and the confidence she had shown when facing down Rossarm. However, at least for the moment, they were not addressing it. 

The two of them were eventually about to politely get away from Ahnasha's family for long enough to join Calia at her table. Although, Ahnasha did not plan to remain there for long. "Calia, would you mind if we went somewhere private to speak? There is something important we would like to ask you about." Ahnasha asked.
