I rather think of Babs as still being part of a clan with all the benefits and obligations that entails. Just the benefits are barely acknowledged while grudges are emphasised and obligations fulfilled as a duty. So there will be relationships with weaponthanes if only as sparring partners. There's also some sort of relationship with Ernalda - probably an obscure religious one. On a more practical level many of the clan women will know why the Babs worshipper took that path and some will sympathise.
