Having the knowledge and understanding that the calamity of the Netherworld would change the scope of the Galaxy also reached to that of the Mandalorians. He knew there were be problems coming back home, and he knew none of them would be solved by a simple introduction and dominion of a planet they had once held to as their own territory. No, the pains and cracks of defeated morale and bitterness would stem much further. It was unlikely you'd ever get a Mandalorian to change their mind, or forgive a wound that cut them deeply. The culture as a whole didn't forget, and could hold a grudge until the nine Hells of Corellia froze over, and then some. Asking forgiveness was a fool's errand, and he well knew that. What he didn't expect however was that passive aggressive animosity that would come with certain decisions both himself and others had made. He could feel the tension, taste the bitter weight of various clans that were not as much interested in following someone who had been absent - but moreso, had been chomping at the bit to destroy an enemy in their sights. Violence was therapeutic to their kind, and while he knew most of the Mando'ade were loyal to a fault, he couldn't shake the idea that there were still many who didn't see visor to visor with him any longer. A notion he'd have to win over if he wanted to do what was best for his people.
Teams were set and most were in motion to depart the cruisers and deploy to the planet below. Today their enemy was the Vong, a mutually hated species since the great war that had spread their kind like a plague across the Galaxy tearing apart worlds in one of the greatest and deadliest coups ever to be recorded in the archives. They were a disgusting breed of powerhouses that Azrael had faced on the battlefield already. This new insurgence of them were not to be taken lightly or ignored as they had been in the past until it was too late. It was a time to strike at them, and show them that their lust for conquering would not usurp that Mandalorians. They had already survived the first wave of their attack, and would continue to press the advantage until they were stamped out. As the teams departed moving for their different positions, a sidelong glance was given to Arla as she strode to join him for a meeting with the delegate council members. He'd not had the chance to talk to her a great deal since what happened on Teta, and it wasn't hard to see that the crimson haired Mandalorian was in a rather irritable mood.
She wasn't the only one that was in a foul way right now, and he knew his commission to Verz wasn't going to fly with all of the Mando'ade, but he wanted to make sure that people saw Verz as he did, and understood the man's return as a recompense of his ways that had lead to Gilamar having to take the title from him, forcibly. This man was repentant of his actions and was trying to prove himself worthy. Azrael would not turn down that man's request, and while others were just as battle hardened as he was, there was a reason behind what the Mand'alor had done. Now moving with a small company of vode, including Arla at his side, the shuttle was boarded that would take them towards the planet's secondary ceremonial chambers to meet with the gathered delegates and try to convince them to lower the embargo, and restore the planet to Mandalorian rule once they had wiped out the threat of the Vong that were stonewalling the proceedings. Slipping into the seating arrangement, directly across from Arla, Azrael fastened the straps to cover his armored chest, before giving a quick knuckle wrap on his helmet while looking directly at Balor.
"Buy'ce Olar, Kar'ta Ogir." A simple and traditional saying that simply indicated that whatever the woman was going through, once that visor slid over her eyes, it was pushed aside, and the business of what they were after was taking precedence. He didn't ignore her issues, but she knew as well as he did, that they needed cool heads to deal with the politics of this planet.
