"Okay Sabine, I trust you." Meesei said as she produced the vial from her satchel. "I will not lie, there is always the possibility of violence within the clan, but that is looking less likely now than it was before. I offered the explanation that Harriet could have been magically influenced by Clavicus Vile into becoming a traitor, as that is a definite possibility. It is something I intend to test for once the trial has concluded. Earlier, there was a fight that was about to break out between two groups, but they calmed once that possibility was brought to mind. It may be enough to prevent large-scale violence at the trial itself, even if Harriet, or anyone else, tries to instigate it."

Meesei looked at the small amount of poison in the vial. Circumstance pointed to it being the same poison used in the waterskin, but there was no way to know what Sabine and Carana might learn about it. If it was indeed more concentrated than what they had found in the waterskin, then it might provide even more insight into the substance. They could even get a better sense of what it was made from. However, she did not want Sabine to feel that success was vital. "Just...try not to worry yourself so greatly, Sabine. This test could yield useful information, but do not think that the murder will go unsolved if you fail. There is other evidence, so you do not need to stress yourself to such a degree. Actually, there is one more thing you could test that might be even more useful. The only people who have handled this vial are myself, the traitor, and another individual who has been helping me. The cork likely holds the scent of the traitor, but the scent of the poison overpowers it. If there is something you could do that would isolate those scents, then we could directly link the vial to the traitor."
