Ahnasha partially raised up her hand off the table. "No need to lock ourselves into a plan just yet. We need to take the time to really think this through." She cautioned. "You might try to show her how she is hurting you, in more depth than just saying that she is. That might be less prone to make her angry. Or, we could take another approach entirely. She does still sleep sometimes, and when she does, she is exhausted enough to sleep like a rock. Maybe we could steal the book, silently? Unlike a skooma addict, she doesn't have the option of just going and getting another book. We're far from the first, and probably aren't going to be the last to confront her about the book. She won't really know who to blame."

Lorag crossed his arms, his expression skeptical at best towards Ahnasha. "If that book is stolen, Alpha is going to go on a rampage lookin' for it. As weak as her body is, she's still the strongest of us. None of us could stop her magic, and she's not exactly rational right now. If she decides to blame someone, it don't matter if they're guilty or not. She'll punish 'em. She'd be too angry to worry about proving it."

Ahnasha shrugged. "Well, maybe we can steal it, then pin the theft on someone else?"

"And who'd you pin it on? She'll kill anyone who she things stole it. Probably painfully." Lorag countered. 

Ahnasha gave a brief sigh. "Obviously we would need to blame someone who deserves it." She clarified, prompting a curious look from Lorag. It was a callous suggestion, considering that the only people who could be reasonably blamed for a theft would be people within the clan.
