"I do not doubt that it will be a risk." Meesei commented. She leaned forward with her hands clasped together similarly to Gallus. "The largest question will be if the risk is less than the other options we have. It is not on a whim that I am suggesting to move everyone. If I could keep them here without any unnecessary danger, I would choose that option without hesitation. But, in order to successfully attack the enemy stronghold, we will need a significant force from both this clan, and the Orcrest clan. If we just moved the warriors north, it would be easier, but we would then be leaving this clan almost defenseless. If they were attacked at that point, they would surely be wiped out. But, if we do not take those forces with us to Orcrest, then we run the risk of not having a strong enough force to capture the stronghold. Or, even if we did, we may end up with far more casualties than I would ever find acceptable. A solution to both of those issues would be to bring everyone, so that the Orcrest clan could provide protection to the non-combatants, but we would still have the forces to assault the enemy stronghold. But, I would only suggest doing that if what we risk losing in the journey is less than the risk of the alternatives. For that, I suppose we will have to wait until we can speak to one experienced in the desert. If it is not too much trouble, I would like for you to find Do'ajee tomorrow morning. Ask her who would be the most knowledgeable person in the clan on such matters, and bring that person to the meeting."

Instead of running his hands through her hair, Peiter started to gently rub the back of Sabine's head as he press his forehead against hers. "Well, I look forward to seeing what you try. I'm sure I will love it. Just don't think you [i]have[/i] to try to impress me or anything. Though, it does make me wonder what I might do for you? You've never really said what about me you find attractive, or unattractive." 

With a grin, Peiter let go of Sabine, then quickly stood up a short distance from the bed. With his hands on his hips and his muscles flexed, he took a pose as if he were showing off, or posing for a painting. Although, his overall attitude was more lighthearted and joking than actually vain. "If you were to change anything about me, what would it be?"
