The vulpine regarded Elsweyr thoughtfully, brows briefly creasing at the mention of Aurum -- once more curious of the other lion's distinct absence; both now, and at the monthly meeting.  Arrow's own words suggested an issue.  Gael had never held Aurum in high regard, but he paid note, concluding he was either ill, or dead.

"That is correct," he curtly affirmed, regarding the deal about Dante, inclining his head towards Arrow in both acknowledgement and greeting.  "If you would like to have brought here, I am sure Kold or Aine could locate him." Otherwise, the Ardent had no interest escorting three Tanglers into his home -- Arrow or Moth, perhaps, but three pushed his limits, especially with a fire manipulator present.

The Ardent flicked his ear, considering Elsweyr carefully as she continued; nodding as she finished.  A full neutrality would better benefit both groups -- allowing them both space to recover properly from their individual trials.  "I believe this is a suitable arrangement."

Gael tilted his head lightly as his daughter spoke, satisfied to hear the question posed, for it was important.  He too, would like to hear an update on her health and recovery.

Indifferent to idle chat during business, the Ardent paid no mind to the serval who approached next -- unfamiliar with him, nor interested in an outsider's oblivious suggestions.
