It was when Vinaremo turned to lies that Sabine took a step back and her expression faltered. She had pushed him too far, but without him getting angry enough to simply validate his pride. He would deceive to have his way, just like a servant of Molag Bal would. Sabine was about to sprint off to try and get to Hal-Neesa first, or to hide, she didn't rightly know, she just needed to escape. Before she ran, though, Meesei spoke and essentially rescued Sabine from the situation.

Sabine looked at Meesei with a worry that silently asked if this was the best idea, but Sabine knew there was no way to go back now. Meesei was probably the best candidate to challenge Vinaremo. All Sabine could do was lower her gaze and step out from between them. She sincerely hoped that this vampiric Altmer would not be stronger than Meesei.
