"Aside from explaining what happened, it would obviously be best to do what we can to attempt to calm the fears they will no doubt have upon hearing this news. It will be a daunting task, given the situation, but we can try to address as many concerns as possible. However, doing so will require a delicate balance in how you address the crowd. We have to reassure the clan that we are in control of the situation, and there will be justice for Jerrick. However, at the same time, we have to avoid ostracizing Harriet's packs, or causing anyone to shift blame onto them. I would attempt to emphasize that all of them, no matter their leader, should be united in these trying times. Try to emphasize that Harriet will be receiving a fair trial, judged by a neutral party. Although, you would know better than I what your community would respond to." Meesei explained, glancing between Vera and Oswall. "I would suggest you confer with each other on how best to appeal to your individual packs. I know it may be difficult, Vera, but it is also an option that each of you could speak up during the announcement, if you feel that would lead to a better result. In any case, all of us should be present when it is time."

"For now, I need to return to Harriet and keep a watch on her. I am sure she will want to start right away on building her defense. Oswall, Darahil, if you could step out into the hall with the others for a moment, I would like to speak to Vera on an unrelated matter." Meesei requested.
