Even though it was a bit rich to take in, Sabine decided to take the compliment anyway. She gave Meesei a tight hug and murmured a "Thank you." Once she pulled back, she looked to Gallus, and then back to Meesei. "Did you want to do any more training? It is late but we have to stay up." She peered around, "And Peiter is probably still with his pack."

Janius' returned the hug with just as much mirth. To Kaleeth's words, he gave a short laugh. "On the contrary, I intend to meld them together. We've not had you trained under spell fire very much." Janius grinned. "Don't worry, I won't use anything dangerous on you unless you learn to raise a ward."

Gallus' face suddenly scrunched in frustration and he bowed forward, raising his palm and whispering frantically. "Alright, alright, shh. Do you want everyone to know!? Just..." He released the rest of his breath through his nose and opened his eyes to Peiter. He still spoke quietly, "Alright, nothing gets past you, Peiter, I'll admit that. You know me too well." He chuckled nervously, "Okay, honesty, you deserve that."

Gallus paused and looked around the immediate area, making sure that no one was in earshot. He then leaned in to murmur to Peiter surreptitiously and quickly. "So, I was offered to share a bottle of strong wine today. Strong wine that was full of moon sugar. I won't say who it was that offered me, but I will say that I laid with her with some impaired judgement. I would not have done so otherwise." Gallus' voice then became more severe, "But this time, Peiter, it's important that this isn't spread around. Not because of Sephy or Olivia, but because...it would have implications for these clans. It's a sensitive matter. That's deadly truth, you understand?" Gallus looked straight into Peiter's eyes with an expression as serious as his words. Up this close, the smell of his breath appeared to line up with his new story. "I need you to keep quiet for me," he added.
