His daughter's presence at the party is enough to make grey hairs sprout in his dark onyx fur - what if she gets into the alcohol and gets drunk? What if a fermented-apple-addled colt gets carried away and makes an inappropriate move on her? The answer to the second one is fairly simple - smash the unlucky colt into pieces, or at least think strongly about doing so whilst reluctantly refraining thanks to his status as Sultan - but there's still so many things to worry about now Vezér is here.

He forces himself to relax, telling himself that the spiderweb girl is just here for a bit of fun and she's allowed to enjoy spending time with her herdmates. When she comes over to him and Ampere, he tilts his head towards her with interest, as surely it isn't cool to be seen with her father whilst there's others of her own age to socialise with? But it's soon obvious that the filly doesn't have joviality on her mind as she begins to speak. "Don't apologise, love. What's wrong?"

Her revelation at being in the Spectral Marsh is enough to make his eyes boggle out of his head, his protective-father-syndrome revving up into overdrive at the thought. He refrains from scolding her, though, knowing that whatever she wants to tell him and Ampere must be important. The knowledge that she was with Amaris is enough to relax his muscles somewhat, although he still doesn't like the idea of her in the Marsh without him or another warrior to protect her. The spiderweb girl continues, speaking of the ground shaking and a teal liquid erupting from the altar. This is deeply interesting, and the Indomitable looks over to Ampere as Vezér continues her story. He's picturing the liquid like some kind of volcanic eruption, yet the filly describes it as refreshing. How could anything associated with Kaos be considered good? The beast's brow is twisted into a frown, absorbing every one of his daughter's words as he tries to understand what has transpired.

The filly then places some black clovers at his feet, and he leans down to cautiously sniff them. "We should have one of the healers analyse these and see if they can determine what they are," he says to Ampere, careful not to crush the clovers with his massive hooves. He looks to his daughter then, extending his muzzle to try and touch it gently to her own. "Thank you for telling us this, Vezér. However, in future please do not go to the Marsh on your own. We have no idea what Kaos is planning, and going there by yourself is dangerous. Make sure myself or one of the warriors is with you whenever you go anywhere near the Marsh." He's already lost Vezér once, and the crippling grief of her faux-death had been horrendous. He does not want to go through that again if he can help it. The beast's voice is stern and firm, but gentle at the same time - her information could prove valuable and that's worthy of respect, but the father in him shudders at what could have happened to her.

The giant looks over to Ampere, keen to get her opinion on this new information. "We should gather a patrol and head to the Marshes once the party is over, see what we can find out." Waiting until tomorrow may be best, though - he doesn't fancy taking a gang of drunken Throatians into possibly dangerous territory.

I NEVER FEAR DEATH OR DYING, I ONLY FEAR NEVER TRYING
I AM WHATEVER I AM, ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME NOW
