Though Sabine gave Peiter a smile, she was of a mind to slap Peiter for almost undermining the words that she had worked up the courage to say the previous night. Thankfully, Sabine was not a violent person and she didn't want to admit the effort she had put forth. Instead, she shifted from where she sat until she was close up beside Peiter and let that be her answer. She found it amusing to see his reaction anyway. "I am fine," she said, only at as high a volume as was absolutely necessary. Her eyes shifted to the bandages that now obscured Peiter's burns, "How are your wounds?"

Gallus put up his hand and nodded. "I understand. I didn't want to deny you the opportunity, but with what you say, your decision is probably for the best." Gallus' eyes returned to the map, "I never said anything about attacking just yet, only scouting. Still, you're right, we will need more numbers. Sending for an army from other clans will take a long time, so there'll be a few more options. Let's see..." Gallus straightened up and actually put more thought into other things to do. He listed them off with his fingers as they came to mind, "There's finding more remnants of the Senchal clan, there is rooting out and disrupting more of Vile's operations...establishing our own base of operations - especially if our numbers are to grow further, hmm...I suppose we could explore the possibility of combating this big force by other means; raids, assassinations..." Gallus blinked and glanced to Meesei and Ra'kalesh, "...I am still sounding too eager, aren't I?"
