Thinking about what we'd talk about with people:
Belegar: he'll want to start crafting the right set of lies about today's events. He needs to make what happened sound appropriately glamorous in dwarven terms to encourage another wave of volunteers amongst the clanless and minor clans that might want to resettle, as well as sufficiently orthodox and reliable to encourage the World's Edge Holds to commit more of their regular forces to temporarily support the Expedition.
Ulthar: He'll probably want to all some more about Mathilde's magic and how the Rangers can leverage it. He's a Ranger from one of the young holds, so will be less traditional than many dwarves and can probably see the potential. Talking the spell and it's uses through with a true expert on the subject of scouting and mapping while it's creation is still fresh in her mind would hopefully be valuable. I would also be very valuable for him to have a rough idea of Mathilde's capabilities so he can advise her how to use them against Greenskins and Skaven, as he would know what countermeasures or potential weaknesses they have that she should know.
Ruprecht: wolves and their raising. For a wizard, he should approve of Mathilde, as she's a warrior who keeps a wolf, which is just about as Ulrician as a wizard can get. To make it even better, she doesn't even carry a shield or wear a helmet in battle. It would be amusingly if he tries to convert her, assuming that as she's from the southern Empire she prefers Sigmar to Ulric. As a side note, I don't think this is a problem, as my understanding is that the Empire is true polytheism, where people propitiate all the gods in the context of their relevant sphere of influence. As Ranald isn't any kind of war god, it should be perfectly appropriate to give Ulric reverence and ask for his blessing in the context of battle while still maintaining a shrine to Ranald and seeking his blessings, just as she would Shallya in the context of healing. Sigmar is the only god in the Empire with any flavour of 'you should have no other god before me' to his worship, and even that is a banned heresy. Most rich people would probably have shrines to all the major gods, as well as to theirs ancestors, relevant regional gods, and perhaps even favourite Venerated Souls. A Shadow Wizard Ulric devotee would be hilarious as well. Her Brave trait would make it appropriate as well.
I think I mentioned this above, but we already spend significant amounts of time with Wolf training him, as we took an early option with the Amber Wizards that set that.
This is one evening, and shouldn't have precedental value, as the training should continue.
