(I am still reading the previous threads XD)

Balin's crew shared much of Fiandrael's feelings, that noisy and crowded city felr much like home to them. The Marach twins decided to go brawling in the Inn while Ande Harriseux went to see his own father, Brujlv chose to join the Marach but only to keep a leash on those two troublemakers while Tsaaz went along to stir trouble.

All the others had chosen to accompany the Prince, the elven farseer, the elven mage, the hunchback assassin, the redguard cook and the dunmer firstmate...

"Do my eyes deceive me?! Is that 'Azaron of the Red Mountain' that I see?!", Tormund let out once the whole party arrived at the castle and Balin began his introduction.

"Indeed it is, old friend, indeed it is.", Azaron was almost crushed inside the hug that the big king gave him, "Though it won't be for long if you split me in two, ugh!"

"Ah, my apologies.", Tormund laughed thunderously, "It's just because it seems that all my old friends have disappeared from the face of Nirn and it is good to see that it is not true."

"What do you mean?", the spear-wielding dunmer asked, confused.

"Farraud died.", the King said, bluntly.

Azaron's eyes widened, "What a bleeding tragedy! How? I always thought he'd outlive us all..."

"In the middle of a battle... fighting another man's war.", Tormund replied, almost muttering rather than saying it out loud.

Balin led the rest of his crew away to give his father some privacy. Queen Allera made sure that a nice table had been set for the guests and she took her elder child by the arm to escort them there.

"Your father has suffered a lot. Too many bad things happened while you were gone and your absence made it all much worse... you know how your father sees himself in you.", the Queen let out.

"I know, mother... but I was doing what we, Toreau, do.", Balin replied, "And even managed to find a way to help father's latest trouble."

Allera eyed her son, in a way that only a mother could and in a way that she knew would shut him up and make him listen.

"Your beloved sister has left with a large part of the Seaborn Knights and the forces of Dunkarn Haven and Raven Spring have been dangerously diminished and driven out of their homes. We are crowded, even more than usual and different kinds of troubles stir up every single day. Unless you brought a magical object that would make everything right, we are in for a lot more shit.", the Queen sterningly scalded.

Upon seeing that Balin had lowered his head and didn't said anything in return, Allera smiled, "But you will hear everything from your father. For now, let's just enjoy a nice meal."

They reached the dinning hall and everyone took a seat, marveled by the quality of the food.
