While Sabine and Tzirret did not pay Meesei much attention, Fendros and Janius looked dubious. It sounded like the drivers were a loose end now. Thinking on why Meesei would let them go caused the reality to dawn upon them. Neither of them liked it, but it was too late now.

Gallus had no illusions about the fate of the drivers. They had been innocent people, but he himself doubted that they would be convinced after the reaction they gave. Regardless, he had his own loose end to tie up with Meesei. "If I may, Meesei, I spoke to the leader," Gallus looked back at her, she was just out of earshot by the distance, "Five people thrown up against us all. It served no purpose that I can see for Vile to have sent them. She has nothing left, let alone anything to threaten us. I thought, maybe, we could let her bury her companions in the morning and let her go. She's a criminal, so she's not going to dob us in like the drivers were. I was thinking..." Gallus scratched at his upper arm, "...we send her up north with scant details. With a new life, she could be a help."

"You're seriously considering letting that highway bandit know about how to find the clan?" Fendros interjected.

Gallus addressed him with composure, "She needn't know everything. She already knows [i]of[/i] us as lycans by now."

Fendros lowered his brow, "You saw her companions, they threatened to kill us. Why should she be any different?"

"She's a thief; they never intended for anyone to die," Gallus retorted, "Like most in her position, Fendros, she is not there because she wants to be. Regardless," Gallus gestured to Meesei with both hands while looking at Fendros, dismissing him, "I would hear Meesei's thoughts."

With a frustrated huff, Fendros silenced himself. It was baffling to him why Gallus would keep her alive at all.
