At first, Eirún's expression was calm and tranquil as she went to the back of the Stone's Throw. Considering Maeki seemed to be fine with her and the hooded man going to the back with him and the nobles, Eirún thought little of her doing so and simply followed them while taking sips of her bowl of soup and mug of ale. That soon changed once the Luxun bodyguard stood in front of her with a hostile stare, going as far as calling her and the hooded man scavengers. The noblewoman, while nowhere near as hostile as the bodyguard didn't seem to be particularly happy with the situation as well, but Eirún could not only forgive, but understand her cautiousness as she spoke, which was different from the outright clear hostility the bodyguard had shown.

Eirún's cold, piercing stare as she looked back to the Luxun bodyguard was enough to tell him everything that was needed without a single word. If that wasn't enough the fact that she had put down her food on top of a nearby stool would further confirm that nothing good would come from provoking or touching her.

Fortunately, Maeki was quick to speak on Eirún and the hooded man's behalf, attesting to their trustworthiness. While the owner of Stone's Throw himself seemed to put a great deal of respect towards the noblewoman, Eirún was still far from blindly trusting them... Especially after the rather dubious first impression. Regardless, with her and the hooded man's trustworthiness not being put into doubt anymore, the noblewoman finally felt comfortable in telling her tale.

Introducing herself as Brigitte Fenris, the noblewoman soon started her inflamed speech. It wasn't long until Eirún's previous suspicions were confirmed... Instigated by the corrupting influence of the Luxun mages, traitors from the Fenris family staged a coup, which resulted in the fall of the house and explained why the ragged nobles came seeking for hired blades... The torrent of emotions swirling and burning in Brigitte's hear as she spoke made it clear that it was a very recent thing and that she was likely still in shock after what happened.

The deep seated mistrust that led to people of her blood to hide themselves amidst the unexplored tundras of Fenris meant Eirún herself didn't have much trust to freely give to nobles, even if they were from the Fenris family... But in the other hand, Eirún and her people hated the Luxun mages as much as any northerner, possibly even more given their history... If there was really a threat of the Luxun mages' presence becoming stronger and more established in the Fenris region, if nothing was done it would be just a matter of time until they brought the land to it's knees, destroying everything in their endless greed.

While Brigitte was undoubtedly still in shock, the emotions she showed in her speech made it clear that she meant the words she said. As she finished speaking, Eirún simply let the silence weight the room, looking directly towards Brigitte, as if evaluating her. It was only after Maeki spoke and Bet suddenly appearing that Eirún finally reacted, giving Brigitte with a firm nod, a clear sign of approval as she put a hand in her chest, before delicately writing her name in the air.

Like what Maeki had said before, Brigitte was still a pup, but a wolf nonetheless. Whether she would be capable of truly uniting the north or not, remained to be seen...
