I'm always struck by the bit in the peace conference when Tullius is speaking and Ulfric turns and says "Master Arngeir, are you just going to let him continue to..."
It's the way he automatically uses Arngeir's title. He almost sounds like a kid running to his dad to complain about his brother. There's something weirdly...vulnerable is absolutely not the right word, but it always reminds me that Ulfric Stormcloak was a kid once, and that the Greybeards not only mentored but more or less raised him for half his childhood. Which always gets me wondering what the Greybeards think about seeing their ex-pupil after all these years.
So that's my prompt. Arngeir's the most obvious choice, but I'd love to hear about what any of them are thinking about the man Ulfric's become. Are they sad? Disappointed? Righteously pissed off? All of the above? I dunno, I just feel like the inside of a Greybeard's head might be an interesting place for fic.
