There was silence in the air, fueled by her larger cousin's uncertainty, followed by the faint hum of his explanation cutting through assumptions and concerns. Lilin listened quietly, unable to do much else, as the situation was elucidated and made clear. There were pieces missing from the puzzle, making it hard to understand what had triggered such a bold move from Saul; a man judged to have morals, family values and his head screwed on right. The underlying reason for him to have made such a decision, one directly involving his young son in a way that could possibly jeopardize his future, was assuredly justified. There wasn't much she could say to lighten the mood when it was revealed that two of her family members were now homeless. Although no explicit allegiances had been promised, not to her friends nor family, it was obvious by now where her liege laid.

Moral support was not her forte but she could offer shelter and a shoulder to lean on, as Barrett had done with her and three others in need. She hadn't shown much emotion aside from a perma-frown plastered to her forehead until the ultimate motive finally surfaced. Her face softened then, recognizing herself in a not so distant past. Hilsburn was getting crowded but as far as she knew, the room next to hers was still available and big enough for a father and his ward. For once, a male of the Stormbringer bloodline took his child's best interest to heart - there was no way she would hinder the steps he'd undertaken towards exemplary fatherhood. "Me and three others are currently guests in Barry's house a little ways south from here," she started, indicating the general location with the tip of her nose before continuing. "We help with chores around the property in exchange for shelter and good company." The information was thrown into the equation out of formality. She doubted Saul was one to take things for granted - surely he'd put his skills and knowledge to good use without being asked.

"Ariadne recently joined us not too long ago," she started, turning to Temeraire for the next divulgement. "Ezra is originally from Cours des Miracles. He has a nice little boy named Elias." It would do both pups some good to play with someone their own age. Moving on, she revealed the last remaining residents. "Then there's Barrett, of course. He runs the place with his two associates, Axle and Grit." The titles used were a little too formal even for Lilin. She liked to think she was friends with all parties involved but it was easier explained this way. Mediterranean blue irises met the three accompanying animals shortly thereafter and she hesitated, wondering if the horses would squeeze into the small stable with Petra and Joren. "We have a stable small in size where Ezra and Barry's horses are kept, we'll have to arrange something for yours. Let's go find Barry first though, shall we?"
