Kaleeth was actually starting to have some hope now that they were forming some plans that at least seemed like they could work. None of them were ideal, but she doubted that an ideal solution even existed. The suggestions of the others did give her some ideas, however. "It doesn't have to be you. I think you have the best chance of convincing her of what she's doing, Sabine, but if we are going to steal the book, it doesn't have to be you that leaves. I mean, Saras has people that are really good at this, right? Spies, those kind of people. We could steal the book, and Saras can have one of his spies take the blame and leave. His people are experts at staying hidden. Once Meesei gets better, we can tell her the truth."

"That...could work." Ahnasha responded, but she obviously still had some doubts. "But we would have to convince her that whoever took the book stole it alone. We wouldn't want her blaming Saras. If Sabine did it, then Saras wouldn't be exposed to any blame."

Kaleeth looked down, holding one hand over the other on the table. "Yes but...what if she doesn't think Sabine did it alone? What if she blames us? She...she might do something to us."
