"He is... already forgiven", mumbled Valkyrie in a daze upon hearing the news.

''Yet another I was unable to save. Is this what it means to be Matriarch? Be responsible for lives beyond your aid?''

"I frankly can't recall what the argument was all about. And neither do I care. I have lost too much to be able to care about the petty things in life."

She didn't show it, but the news of Anna's demise vexed her terribly. The girl had suffered from some unindentified disease and had been hoping that he masks would save her. Valkyrie still kept hers locked safely in the Vargine Hall treasury.

"You can tell him that Valkyrie still considers him a dear friend, and that... an unfortunate event halved her chances of getting both her siblings back..."

She didn't have the strength to tell this woman that Hemming was dead. That he had been murdered when he was just a boy, all alone in dark cell and crying for his dead family to come and save him. Or that he had unwillingly transformed into just a werewolf pup whereupon Sturkas Cave-Bear had killed him and flayed the pelt from his corpse. Just the thought of it made her eyes all teary.

''He must have suffered and asked himself in the end where we were... Why we weren't there to save him... Poor pup...''

"As for Perdix, he should either be in the room next to mine, or perhaps he has gone to the dining hall to get himself some breakfast..."

She still considered Jack a good friend. He was honest, even though he had his rogue-like ways. If things hadn't ended the way they had between them, perhaps their relation could have developed into something more than just partners-in-war? But she doubted it would have lasted...

"Aye", smiled Hist-of-his-Kin triumphantly. "Shame she is the way she is though. Shy out in the open, as well in the bedchamber", he shrugged. "But I love her just the same."

He eyed the Imperial curiously. "What about you? Any person your heart is set on? Or perhaps someone you hold dear?"
