Frith wasn't sore about the result of the raid, he was sore as a result of the raid though. He'd been quiet since the event as he tried to recover before getting back to work. It hurt him more to know that his many many duties were not getting done while he was on bed rest. Of course the children had stepped up and were taking on responsibilities as needed, but none of them could fully take on what really needed to be done. What this might do in Frith's future was yet to be seen, but the weakness in his own body would be reexamined closely. With all of his confidence he was still easily toppled. Something had to change.
These thoughts would linger in his mind as he watched his elder children appear. He'd smile at them softly as they arrived, proud of all of them if they'd arrived at the raid or not. It was his fault that they'd been caught so unawares, and knowing how untrained his sons and daughters were only further put a shadow of doubt over his heart.
