Sabine was consoled enough once her direction was clear. She nodded and let Ahnasha go so that she could begin her journey to Bruma. "See you soon," Sabine said before she was out of sight.

Rather than pack away all of her equipment to take it with her all day, Sabine only took her empty shoulder bag and a few implements of glassware so that she could store and retrieve ingredients for her tests as needed. She would likely head back to their sleeping chamber to resume such things.

Once Sabine was ready, she headed out with Kaleeth, locking the old Ayleid gate behind them to keep Leaps in. The hatchling ran up to the gate and propped his forelegs up onto it, chirping in protest for being left alone, but he would settle eventually.

Kaleeth seemed to hold herself tensely as she and Sabine headed to the dining hall. When Sabine noticed this, she wished that she could help in some way, but she was still slightly anxious herself. She couldn't really think of anything to say. After a short while, Sabine tried something that was often used by Meesei to try and calm her; she reached up and placed a hand on Kaleeth's shoulder and rubbed it lightly. It was more awkward than she was expecting, not only because they were moving side by side, but because Kaleeth's shoulder was at about the same height as Sabine's chin.

The pair entered the dining hall and spotted Meesei nearby Vera, who was talking with a number of other lycans around her. Sabine found it strange that she seemed to look and act the same even though she had just lost her husband.

The Argonian nearby Harriet attempted to probe further into Lorag's comment. "Preparation, you say? What kind of preparation?"

"You'll get more details if you actually need to do anything, Galsek," Harriet answered before Lorag could elaborate.

"Oh? And why's that?" The Argonian, Galsek, crossed his arms and raised one brow to Harriet.

Harriet grinned and answered casually, "'Cause you might be a spy, stupid." Harriet faced Lorag again, "Seriously, Lorag here's gonna help me with a few things today, so you kids play nice, alright?"

Breakfast proceeded without any notable events, apart from one of Harriet's packs heading out on a hunt. No one amongst Harriet's packs seemed to spot the fact that neither their alpha nor Lorag ate or drank anything, and the only time Jerrick was brought up was in a passing query about timetabling amongst the lieutenants or something of that nature. His impromptu 'journey' was not mentioned as it was unnecessary.
