While the groups had enough respect to keep listening to Meesei, not many of them attempted to understand what she was talking about with the nuances of mind control. Those who weren't completely confused seemed consoled to an extent. One of the instigators of the original incident on Oswall's side, a young adult Imperial, turned to Harriet's followers and owned up with a hung head. "Well I guess if it wasn't her fault, there's no point fighting about her loyalty..."

There was a pause. With it, the last of the original anger seemed to disappear. The young orc itched the back of his neck and responded. "Alright, maybe we should spend less time pointing fingers and more time looking out for people who might be mind-controlled." There was a murmur of agreement and the crowd began to dissipate. "Wait," the young orc raised his head in realisation, then turned to Meesei, "what should we be looking out for?"
