When he had first run after lashing out at his mama and the other's, he had just been letting his legs carry him as far away from the Typhoon as they could, so that he wouldn't have to face his mistakes. Evidently, his legs had decided that the Pitt was the polar opposite of the Typhoon, and thus the safest place to be. Even with all the stories that Roan had been told of the Pitt, the boy hadn't been around long enough to see any of the horrors committed by the desert dwelling group, so he didn't want them to suffer. He also certainly didn't want to be the one that brought about that suffering, intentional or not. Despite all this, the draconic apprentice felt relief flood through him when Kydobi spoke, staring at the ardent in shock for a long moment before he responded, "I... I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have... Kydobi, right? I don't want to cause any of you any trouble, and I certainly don't want my family hurting anybody here. I just... I can't be at home right now." He thought about expanding on his reasoning as to why, but he figured he'd cross that bridge when he got to it, as he was sure that was one of the questions Ky had in mind.

Unfortunately, Roan's uplifted mood was dashed near immediately when Caesar approached the scene. Roan felt his own ears pin down in reaction when he heard the yellow feline's harsh words, and he watched as Silvertides recoiled, the fox shrinking in on himself at Caesar's verbal abuse. The apprentice knew he had little room to speak, being in an enemy group that had graciously taken him in, but it hardly seemed as though Caesar was doing himself any favors with his clanmates. Because of this, Roan stepped in front of Silver, shielding the fox from Caesar's onslaught as he hissed, his fur puffed up and his wings raised to make his form seem larger, "I may not be a Pittian, but it doesn't seem like you should be talking to your clanmates or leader like that. I can't prove that I'm not a spy, but I can answer all the questions that he wants to ask, and if he decides to let me stay... well, that's his decision. Not yours. Are you even important around here? I've heard of mister Kydobi. Who I haven't heard of is you." Roan knew full well that he was being snarky, and could be overstepping his bounds considering the situation he was in, but his patience had been growing thin as of late, with all of the troubles he had suffered.
