Nothing about this was going the way Meesei would have liked, but at the very least, they were not being immediately hostile. In their current situation, Meesei reasoned that they might be able to emerge victorious in a fight, depending upon the skill of the cultists, or at the very least, they could escape, but not without casualties. Hircine himself would have to intervene if they wanted to avoid losing someone, so Meesei would cooperate for now. 

"We do not have any problem speaking to your leader. In fact, that is why we are here; we did not come here to fight." Meesei explained briefly. 

The Altmer was entirely unfazed by Fendros' glare, to the point that he essentially ignored it. For Meesei, he only seemed to regard her words with mild interest. "I see. Well, I do not actually care why you are here, or what you want. It is the master's curiosity I am here to satisfy, not mine. Let us just get inside, and get this over with." 

"Very well." Meesei responded, hiding her annoyance. "I am guessing you wish for us to disarm?"

"You may keep your weapons. I assure you, they would not matter." He answered, doing nothing to dispel the stereotype of Altmer arrogance. "Oh, and do not worry about the little ones you left behind, we have sent people to collect them. They will be joining us promptly."

Back at camp, the fog in the air seemed to thicken to the point that it was difficult to see more than a few feet away. The feeling of dread only became stronger, which made it difficult to keep Rhazii from crying for his mother. Even Leaps was curled up frightened at Sabine's feet. Just like with the rest of the pack, when the cultists arrived, it was sudden. Four robed Argonians backed up by three skeletons appeared from the fog, as if invisible, surrounding Sabine on all sides. She had no chance to move before they blocked all escape, but they did not attack. Instead, a dark-scaled Argonian stepped forward and addressed her. "Do not attempt to run, little lycan. You will not escape, and you will not survive. You would not be alive if we wished to kill you. Our master demands the presence of you and your pack, so you are going to come with us."
