Gallus looked ahead, trying not to react to his minor overstep. "I was privy to some planning, yes. There were a number of plans that were in motion around Tamriel, tactics required on multiple fronts. Some were going better than others." Gallus raised his brow and gave Hiritus a glance. "I wasn't really close to the champion until we set out for Elsweyr. The strategic details are broad, patchy, and tend to change quickly, but I do know the location of a few more strongholds that had remained hidden for the most part."

Gallus was starting to dip into purer lies at this point. He turned more neutral and tried to think of something to say that wasn't so suspicious.

"Are there many defectors from Hircine's ranks? Any more lycans?" Gallus asked. At least it seemed reasonable, given his position.
