Rougaru meets her gaze evenly as she speaks, taking note of the displeasure that danced in his eyes despite his attempt to hide it. A single lobe flickers at her words, a renewed sense of respect for the smaller cream mare. He listens intently to her words, careful to store the information away should the future ever require him to retrieve it. He found it off that her brother would steal her away from their sire as a young filly. It was not uncommon for youth to get their start from stealing away from their sire's herd, in his case, Hound had gifted him his first few mares. That was not the unusual part, what confused him was why the brother might want to steal away his sister. A random mare yes but a sister. Odd indeed. Perhaps it was something in Liland's genes. The wolf snickers at the jib and he remembers to store it away too for later use.

Ears peel back at the mention of Cullen's name. It seemed the palomino stallion was making quite a number of enemies over the past seasons. Rougaru himself was not entirely pleased with the bachelor boss nor his list of renegades. Raider especially had much to answer to and the wolf was not entirely set on talk as it were.

Nonetheless he nods politely in response, listening intently to the pale mare and her story that led them to his shores. It made sense, starting off in Paradise. This was where Solaris had lived for a time and where Galexia herself had been born. It made him worry now, where his granddaughter might have disappeared to but he would have to make a point of tracking her down himself. The wolf liked to keep tabs on his pups, even the wayward ones such as Solaris. She mentions a mare but even that name is foreign to his tongue. Foreign as Bjorn. Perhaps she might find luck in the Ridge? The name sounded like his. Even if Galexia was not there perhaps Bjorn might have heard of her before.

Emerald eyes blink silently for a moment as she finishes her speech, asking that he at least inform Galexia of where Nagini was should his pass cross hers again. She speaks of her love for the small girl and Rougaru turns his gaze momentarily away from her to the leggy girl at her side. Despite his distaste in Liland, he was growing quickly to respect Adelia. "I have never heard of Lagertha before, but perhaps you could try the Ridge. There is a stallion named Bjorn who is more familiar with the northern tongue, perhaps he might be able to point you in the right direction." he adds pausing a moment to let his words settle between them before continuing again. "If you do find her, be sure to inform her that she is welcome to come and live here should she wish. I will not uproot her from whatever life she has created for herself or Nagini but the offer remains." he adds fixating his gaze upon Adelia now with a softened smile. "The offer is open to you and your children as well if you wish it. I respect those who do not let the opinion of others affect their own." he finishes dipping his head in resolve.
