Truthfully, she hadn't been terribly invested in Ebony's siege against Arcanum. She'd allowed both of her lead sentries to go, for they were related to Kassander, though it had been a personal decision rather than a decision made between allies. Even when she'd reunited with Surreal, and had learned that Arcanum had taken her mate prisoner... she couldn't help but feel strangely detached from it all. Even if they had been bad wolves, who had done bad things, it was difficult to care about the situation even a fraction of how much Kassander did. And yet they had won, which she was selfishly grateful for -- for it meant Kassander, Bjorn, and Birna were well and safe. Her smile was genuine as she assessed him, noting he sported no major injuries or scars from the fight. She could only hope his spirit was recovering just as well.

Only briefly would she eye the fox at Kassander's side. He seemed skeptical of her, and she would return the wary stare without hesitation. "I'm glad," she'd tell him earnestly, stepping forward a bit closer to him. It was a relief that his family was well, and unconsciously he tail would wag behind her in genuine, albeit reserved, happiness. "It's not a problem," she'd respond to his thanks, shaking her head. "You, and your family, are welcome here anytime." She'd liked Kassander upon first meeting him, and she only liked him more now. He was wildly different from her, firmly staunch in his fight for justice and doing what was right, and though he had grown quite a bit more mature as a leader, he still had an air of youthfulness that was invigorating. She could only hope he might return the favor someday.. not that she expected to find herself leading a siege against anyone in the future. Even still, it seemed a relatively small favor; and what was a friendship if not an exchange of such favors when they were needed?

Despite their win, it seemed Kassander still feared for his family. Epiphron couldn't help but worry their worries might be warranted. "Do you think they might retaliate?" she'd ask curiously, a bit warily, her head tilting to the side. It was something she had always feared when Seracia had aided Valhalla in their fight against Glaciem, and she couldn't help but wonder if Kassander had the same worries as she had once. "Bjorn and Birna are both well," she explained with a grin, scrutinizing him, noting how his demeanor had shifted at the change in topic. "I think they both needed a good fight. They seem.. invigorated, now. But what about you?" Obviously he was well upon first glance, with no visible injuries.. but she wanted to know about his overall state. Curious, she'd lower herself to sit before him, waiting for his response.
