"Hmm, I might have opted for something longer term, like service, to you specifically. A long term punishment could have a better chance of teaching him to avoid recklessness than simple pain. But if that is what you believe is best, then so be it. I do not wish to challenge this clan's traditions so quickly." Meesei responded. 

Meesei paused for a moment. She had nothing more she wished to discuss at this meeting, but there was quite a lot she wanted to change about the clan, and while the lieutenants trusted her judgment by this point, she did expect some resistance. "...But I do intend to challenge them. Not all at once, but slowly over time. After a new leader has been selected, after this episode is laid to rest, there are serious issues this clan needs to address. Its structure is...vulnerable. The only reason that Jerrick's death had such potential for chaos was because of the division that exists between your packs. I want to slowly break down that division, such that none of the packs could be considered as 'belonging' to a lieutenant. Apart from the one of which you are personally the alpha, of course. I want all of the clan to consider all of you their leaders, not just one of you. And that is just one of the vulnerabilities that needs to be addressed. Obviously it will take time and effort, but it is an effort we need to make. We do not have time to discuss such matters in detail, however. We should return to our duties." Meesei said, standing up from her chair and pushing it under the table. "Could you have someone send me the necessary soul gems, Darahil? Discretion would also be preferable. It would be best to keep our plans for Galsek and Harriet quiet."
