Meesei knew exactly what it was she needed to do. All of the information she had finally pointed her to a suspect, though she still needed much more to actually make an accusation. Based on Vera's testimony, Harriet was the one who had the opportunity to poison Jerrick, as she had been alone in the meeting room with his waterskin. However, Meesei could not make a judgement based only on a lieutenant's testimony. If Vera was the traitor, she would have plenty of motive to lie. Regardless, Meesei intended to question the lieutenants once more, and hopefully gather more forms of evidence. For the moment, she still needed to keep up appearances, so she made sure her tone was curious, and even somewhat upbeat. 

"Hmm, I believe we should take it back to our room, and perhaps take some notes on it. Perhaps you might be able to learn more about it, now that you can clearly see the effects of the poison? Come, I am sure Leaps is missing us." Meesei said, waiting a few moments for Sabine to seal up the flask and bring it with her out of the scholars' loft. Once they were in the halls and Meesei checked to make sure they were alone, she spoke up in a hushed tone. "I would recommend you try to learn more from the poison if you can, but if there is nothing more to learn, do not worry. I have the information I need. Just make sure the timing we determined is accurate, though that is why we stayed close the entire time. I am sure you would have been able to notice if something went wrong. If Ahnasha has returned, then we can have our dinner, but after that, I am going to return to my investigation. If we are fortunate, I may be able to end this tonight."

Most of the clan was starting to head for dinner, so it took slightly longer to get through the halls, but once they were past the main hall, they were able to make it quickly back to their room. Much to Meesei's relief, Ahnasha had returned, which meant she was safe, and had brought back their dinner for the next few days. "Ah, Ahnasha, welcome back. I am glad to see you unharmed, did you encounter any difficulties?" Meesei asked as she stepped into the room.

Ahnasha shook her head. "No, not unless you count the cold. I certainly would; the weather in these mountains is...horrifying, honestly. We complained about it on the way here, but I do think it is something to be worried about. I realized trudging through the snow that most of our pack wouldn't be prepared if we ended up stuck out there alone. Maybe Lorag would be fine, but the rest of us? After all of this is over, we should make sure to learn to survive up here, just in case."

Meesei nodded to Ahnasha. "I will attempt to remember that, but for now, I have...well, I hesitate to call it 'good' news, but it is progress. I believe I have a strong suspect, and am ready to continue questioning the lieutenants. I wish I did not need to ask for another favor, since you have been outside all day, but could you go and search for the lieutenants? They will likely want to hear that their food has arrived. I would like you to see if you can send Vera here first. I need to clarify some matters with her original statement."

"Of course...though I might start expecting a tip if this keeps up." Ahnasha responded with somewhat of a grin. Despite the seriousness of the situation, she liked to be able to keep up at least some good humor. It was something she had found herself struggling to do over the past few months, though only recently had she really noticed it. She had to admit, she had essentially been an errand girl for the day, but if it meant she was helping, she was glad to contribute. "I'll pick up taking care of Rhazii once I get back. Besides, I'm sure he has missed his mother." She added, giving a smile to her son before leaving the room.
