The ranks would be accepted and declined, all the while various members of the family, Song's other children really, would make their way over to the distraught woman comforting her and themselves. A part of him certainly longed to join them and be rid of this meeting and as each gave their responses he would finally speak once more, first directly to Symphony and Gitan. "In that case I shall speak with Gitan at a later date." He seemed a decent enough man, his daughter was clearly fond of him. The problem was that Dutiron still knew little about him, what his skills were and now wasn't really the time to discuss such matters. He didn't wish to push Gitan on the spot and most importantly his family needed him to be the father and grandfather he was, not his position of Author. "This meeting is now over, those of you that wish to stay for Descant please do. Please can any questions wait until later." The final was of course a request that they allow him to spend some time with his family. He may not have known the child well at all though the loss still pained him and the sadness of his family hurt as well.
