Meesei gave a nod to Sabine. "She is not someone I would want to ask immediately. Assuming she accepted, the time it would take for her to travel here would be too much for us to risk staying in this location. We will have to see if we can create an antidote, or other solution, with the people and resources we have available for now. If not, we can start seeking aid from the far corners of Tamriel after our clan moves. I have no doubt that Ariel would be willing to help us simply to protect her sister, but thanks to the trade connections and other sources of income we have established over the last few years, we are in a position to offer her a sizable reward for her services. If she develops an antidote for this gas, she would be saving all of our lives, so she would certainly deserve anything we can spare. As well, it would help to smooth matters over with her mate."

Sabine's worried about Ariel were understandable. Even if there were not the risk of being targeted by Vile's servants, travel over long distances was inherently dangerous. Meesei had a few ideas for how to mitigate that risk, but it was not an immediate concern. "Until we make the decision to move our clan, however, I still want you to aid with the research on the gas, Sabine. Ariel taught you about the suppression gas, and you have more experience with it than anyone else in this clan. Combined with your natural alchemical talents, you may have a perspective on the problem that others do not."

The matter of the soul tearing gas was the most pressing, but since it seemed that there was little else to discuss on that for the moment, Meesei was ready to explain Ri'vashi's presence, and her plan for creating a skilled council of leaders of different aspects of the struggle against Vile. For the moment, though, she allowed the others time to consider what she had said so far.
