Sabine put her chin on one knee after giving Lorag a greeting smile. Meesei made her consider again.

"I will think about it more," Sabine said. "I just want Ahnasha to be okay. She has always been kind to me. Loving. She is my sister. I did not know she was capable of this before."

Quicker this time, Sabine sat up and and looked to Meesei with a resolute frown. "If I can get grand soul gems from the clans, I want to give enough to Ahnasha that she will not need any more black souls."

Ahnasha's research, at this point, had been an open secret among the pack for a while in Sabine's view. She assumed that Lorag knew about it, though she had never found out.
