"Whoa! You're amazing!"
Before Evadne could even open her mouth, Arnold let out a loud whoop, showering his sister with praise, "The Ashbourne women are seriously badass!"
"Arnold? You're here too." Debby was momentarily taken aback.
"Sending you, our very own First Lady, to deal with that scumbag Snakey Avery is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito."
"Arnold, don't say that."
Debby smiled gently, her demeanor as soothing as ever, "I didn’t really do much, it was all thanks to the clues from Evadne. I just followed the trail, a simple gesture. Over the years, Darcy and I have been abroad, busy with state affairs. I've seldom been home to look after our family, to gather with you all. Being able to lend a hand here makes me happy. It feels like I'm still with you, just like old times."
Her words touched the Ashbourne siblings deeply.
"Debby, we really owe you one this time."
Thaddeus's voice was as soft as a gentle breeze, brushing against Evadne's ears, making her blush, "Once this mess is settled, Evadne and I will come to Helgen to visit you."
"Ah, Thaddeus is here too. Having Thaddeus around just gives me so much peace of mind." Debby was genuinely relieved.
