Peiter trusted Sabine enough that he did not argue with or resist Sabine through whatever it was she was doing, despite how much he wanted to. He was still quite self-conscious about his injury, and as such, did not like for any attention to be drawn to it. Despite the fact that her spell caused no pain, he still squirmed under her touch. Even after she finished, and after her expression of love, he still looked almost embarrassed. 

Regardless, Peiter wrapped his arm around Sabine for a hug, then laid himself down on his back and pulled her down with him. He still had nothing to say, but it seemed as if he simply wanted to be close to her and rest.

Ma'tanza nodded in agreement, then pulled Tzirret in closer to S'nishi and Bheja. "Of course. What do you think you're looking forward to the most once we get back to Orcrest..."

"Indeed. It is an offer, and not one you are required to accept by any means, Ri'vashi. But, it will allow you to apply your expertise to more than a single clan. I understand you want to protect your clan, but you may be able to do so more effectively by directing the course of the war as a whole. You should have plenty of time between now, and when we leave for Bruma." Meesei answered. 

After her long pause, Ri'vashi finally took in a deep breath and responded. "You...honor Ri'vashi, Champion. She does not think herself to be a genius on military matters, but if you believe this one to be skilled, she does understand the need for such experts in your clan. It...would be quite a drastic change for this one's clan, however, and Ri'vashi does not want to take this choice lightly. Ri'vashi promises she will have an answer by the time we return to Orcrest."

As she was speaking, another thought entered Ri'vashi's mind after she passed a glance to Gallus. She was a professional, and had been performing her duties without distraction since the attack, but what had occurred between herself and Gallus was not gone from her mind. Whenever the thought had crossed her mind, she had always remembered that they would eventually be going their separate ways. Now, she was realizing that she should not have made that assumption so quickly. There was a very real possibility they would be spending the next few years in the same clan. This would be awkward.
