While all of this was going on, Crimson Shadow met and got to know her own host family. They all appear to be strong, simple folk, a man and woman with a son and daughter in their late teens. Of the four of them, only the daughter shared Crimson's sole language of River Tongue. She was nice enough to translate for her family as they gave their appreciative welcome and seemed to take an immediate liking to the young exalt as they walked to the clan's stablehouse.
