He closes his eyes briefly. “I’m sorry, little one,” he mutters to himself. Then his eyes flash golden as he casts Command.

new lore in the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn that I think is fun, interesting, or just plain neat
The Clasp is held as folk heroes by many in Emon!
This is technically not new, because the bit about how the Clasp remained in Emon and is the reason the Emonian people could maintain a sense of cohesion and a foothold in the city through Thordak's occupation was in the original Tal'Dorei Campaign Guide.
However, Reborn explicitly states that this makes the Clasp folk heroes in the eyes of many in Emon. This has lent the Clasp an air of legitimacy in the city, and it's allowed them to deal openly with the Council, notably with Seeker Odessa Tal'Dorei as part of her spy network.
It being spelled out, and the implications of that and their connections in the government, is a fascinating bit of world-building with some pretty wild implications. Especially as it's also clearly stated that this "legitimacy" does not apply to Clasp branches outside of Emon and that the Clasp remains absolutely a guild of thieves and assassins.

Meanwhile, Back in Whitestone
(I like to remember that Cassandra is still a teenager herself. I don’t think it was pegged exactly, but since Percy is in his early 20s, and Cassandra was four children behind him, she’s 17-18 at this point. Also, I just wanted to give her a chance to be a giggly teenager.)
“No! I don’t want to play with Grenn and Illia. Just leave me alone!”
The upper halls of Whitestone Castle always echoed, but with all the shouting, Cassandra could have heard it all the way from her own room. As it was, she had just turned the corner on her way to speak to Salda when Odessa, the oldest of Salda’s children, went running by, nearly crashing into her.
“Odessa, what’s wrong?” Her question went unanswered, and she hesitated for a moment, looking down to hall to where Salda stood. The woman looked frazzled, and so Cassandra just held up her hand and nodded, before turning back and following after the girl.
She followed Odessa down the hall, and caught up with her in one of the sitting rooms. It had been a few weeks since the Tal’Dorei family had come to Whitestone as refugees, but Cass had lived in this castle her whole life. Even though the younger girl was obviously trying to hide, she didn’t have much of a chance.
“If you’re going to tell me to go back to the nursery, just go away now. I don’t want to go.” Odessa had tucked herself into a window seat, hidden behind the thick curtains meant to keep the northern chill out.
“May I join you then? If I don’t tell your mother where you are?”
There was a pause, and then a small hand reached out and drew the curtain back, giving Cassandra an opening to crawl in herself. She tucked her feet under her and leaned against the window casement, looking out over the south side of the castle and over Whitestone itself.
“How old are you, Odessa?” Cass asked, though she kept looking out the window.
The other girl made a face. “Fourteen. Why? Do you want to lecture me about behaving like a young lady?”
“Gods no! That’s your mother’s job. I’m still getting those lectures from Archie and Keeper Yennin.” She looked over at Odessa and mirrored her scowl. “And I think Percival wants to lecture me, but he’s not around enough to justify it. And he knows I’d call him a git.”
Odessa gasped, then started to giggle. “But he’s a hero, isn’t he? Didn’t he save your life?”
“Yes. And then he left me with a city and a council to run while dragons destroy the world. I love my brother, but he’s still a pretentious git sometimes.” She pointed out the window to the city, where she could see the top of the Sun Tree cresting over the buildings in the center of town. “I don’t know when, but he’s going to come out of that tree with the rest of Vox Machina, and then one of them will be stabbed, or the castle will be attacked, or he will have made Scanlan a Count or something.”
“Count Shorthalt would be a sight.” Odessa kept giggling as she shook her head. “Would he really do that?”
“No, I don’t think so. I think Percival’s still mad about the acid.”
At that, Odessa stopped laughing and just looked confused. “Acid?”
“Shorthalt threw one of his guns in acid.” She rolled her eyes. That had been such a terrifying day, and the fact that her brother held a grudge over destroying the cursed thing was just another reason he drove her crazy. “It was for the best, but he was really upset about it. And he actually did come back from one of their trips having titled Vex’ahlia. They come back from the Feywild and now she’s a Baroness of Whitestone.”
“I thought you were in charge here, though. Can he even do that?”
“No! I approved it for him and made the case to the council though. It makes sense, to have Vox Machina have more of a stake in the city. And well...” They were alone, but still Cassandra dropped her voice to a whisper and leaned in towards the other girl. “I think he is in love with her.”
“Ooh!” Odessa squealed at the gossip and started laughing again. “That’s so romantic. Does she love him back?”
Cassandra shrugged, and kept her voice at a conspiratorial whisper, “I don’t know, but she calls him “Dear” all the time and I’ve seen her kiss his cheek. Maybe when they’re alone together they’re just mugging down all the time.”
Whatever had been bothering the younger girl earlier was forgotten as she thought about the gossip and the possibilities. “Or maybe they want to get married and he gave her a title so they’d be of similar rank.”
That made Cassandra laugh as well. The thought of her brother, poncy, brittle Percival doing some grand gesture like that...well, actually, that was just the right amount of overdramatic for him. He always liked when other people knew how clever he was, maybe he did just want to show off his social engenuity. “Maybe. I don’t know if he cares enough about nobility for that to matter to him though. Maybe he just wanted to give her something really special.”
“OH!” Odessa nearly bounced out of the window seat as an idea struck her. “You’re the head of the de Rolo family right? Since you’re on the council and need to approve things? And if she’s a Baroness, you’re her lord as well?”
“Yes...” Cassandra said, nodding slowly as she did not see where this was going.
“Then you’re the one in charge of politics and alliances! You should marry your brother off!” Her eyes were wide as she kept going, “With Tal’Dorei in chaos there isn’t really a nobleman for you to ally with yourself, but you need heirs, right? So your brother is obligated to marry a noblewoman that you pick for him. And a Baroness is a good choice, right?”
Cassandra buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking as she laughed and imagined it. She could play up his noble and filial obligations, maybe even say What would Father want you to do? just to see the shade of red he would turn.
She drew herself as tall as she could while still sitting down and mimicked what she remembered her mother sounding like, so long ago now. “Percival, I have been thinking quite a bit about our family’s standing in the new Tal’Dorei. Unless we are to be the last of our line, one of us needs to be married. I have found the perfect noblewoman to be your wife. Lady Vex’ahlia, Baroness of the Third House of Whitestone and Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt.”
Odessa was laughing again, and Cassandra joined in as she continued, “Now, dear brother, go make me an heir.”
After that, Odessa spent less time in the nursery and more with Cassandra while she went about her duties. The next time Percival returned to the castle, both girls started laughing, much to his confusion.
