Peiter seemed to only grow more uncomfortable through Gallus' apology. He was holding his hand across his stomach with a hunched-over posture. "No, I...understand. I spoke to Sabine earlier; she said that the stone was just too heavy to lift. If a werewolf couldn't even lift it, then what it did to me..." He began, his voice trailing off uncomfortably. "I should have just been faster getting out of the keep. I was too slow. I can't blame anyone but myself."

Meesei wrapped her arms tightly around Sabine and pulled her into a hug for at least a minute. The tears in her eyes now came from more than just the pain she had put herself through, but also Sabine. They were coming from a mix of her sadness and regret, which was quickly starting to overwhelm her mind. 

"Sabine...I am sorry. I just did not want you to worry about that which you could not change. I am safe now, please understand that. I have your potions to keep me alive, and nothing I am doing to myself will risk my own life. Please do not worry that anything else is the case. I am going to have to go through these treatments if I want to be rid of the silver, and I promise that I will not hide anything about it from you. But, you do not have to watch me do it." Meesei explained.
