Meesei was a patient individual, but even she hoped the test would yield results sooner rather than later. The more quickly she had her answer, the more time she would have for her investigation. Regardless, she showed no outwards signs of anxiety, especially when around others besides Sabine. When she was not needed to give instruction to Sabine, she spent her time entertaining Rhazii, or meditating. The lessons with Sabine were productive, given how long they had to wait, but Sabine's most important job at the moment was to keep an eye on the test. Fortunately, their experiment finally gave the results they needed. 

Meesei walked up beside Sabine and observed the flask as well. Since other scholars were still around, she kept her comments general. "Ah, that is quite interesting. It seems to take a while to activate, but then works very quickly. I do not know if any ingredients on Tamriel can create that effect. Perhaps it is possible with purely mundane ingredients, but this might suggest influence from Oblivion itself." She commented. Of course, the most important meaning she could derive from the test was that the poisoning must have taken place after the meeting, which greatly narrowed the scope of her investigation, but the origin of the poison was also of interest. If the poison did indeed come from Oblivion, then it would provide evidence that the traitor was connected to Vile, something they could only speculate on before. Hopefully, Sabine or the scholars would be able to determine if that was the case, but for now, Meesei could move on with her investigation.

Ahnasha was cold and annoyed, but at least she was back underground and away from the snow, apart from the amount still stuck to her fur. She was carrying as much food as her coin would buy, which fortunately she was still capable of carrying. She looked like she was carrying an entire campsite on her back, which did provoke some questions from the lookouts on the way in, but she was able to give the excuse that she was buying specialty supplies for the Champion. After all, they couldn't tell without looking in her bags that it was [i]all[/i] food. Mostly, it was salted meats, with vegetables and some fruits. She had visited a few different vendors and purchased anything she thought would last a while. 

Without taking any detour, Ahnasha headed straight for their room, which was unoccupied apart from Leaps. She let out a deep, relieved breath as soon as she was able to set down the bags she had the displeasure of carrying all the way up the mountain. However, she did not quite know what to do next. She supposed the others would want to know that the food had arrived, but she felt it would defeat the purpose of buying all of the food if she immediately left it unguarded. For the moment, she decided to wait in their room to see if anyone was going to come by, as well as getting some much needed rest.
