Meesei laughed along with the others, quite surprised to see Sabine acting in such a way. She considered it a positive change, but she certainly wasn't about to mention it. She knew Sabine did not like to have attention on her, so calling too much attention to her might dissuade her from opening up in such a way in the future. Lorag ended up laughing harder than she had heard in a long time and ended up giving her an approving nod, likely because Runt pulling a prank was the last thing he expected. "You're the epitome of desirability Janius, truly." Meesei joked. "I agree, though, that plan sounds much safer. Much simpler just to deal with other lycans. Thinking about it, I may end up getting a lot of propositions if we find other packs, given the title I hold. I'm not quite sure how I will respond to that. Certainly, it is not something I am used to. At any rate, Ariel, there is something you said that I noticed isn't actually accurate. I believe some of the material you researched wasn't completely true. Contracting lycanthropy can be quick, but not always. The majority of infections, especially with wild werewolves, come from contact with infected blood from scratches, or saliva from bites. Those infections can take upwards of three days to set in completely. It can happen more quickly, such as if there is a [i]lot[/i] of blood, or if you actually purposefully ingest the blood. In that case, the transformation can happen in within the hour, if not immediately. I know this from experience. I do not think it completely invalidates your source, but there may have been some exaggerations, or false details. Lorag was being quiet, but it was obvious he was paying close attention to the conversation. There were details of the conversation that may or may not apply to him at some point in the future, though he wasn't considering that the others might notice how intently he was looking at them.
