While not quite as confused as before, nor as combative, Ahnasha still was not conceding entirely. Her stance was more neutral, and she still held on to Fendros' hand, but she also still defended herself. "What do you mean? Who should I have sympathy for. If you're talking about the woman and the child...yes, I can agree. The child definitely can't be blamed, and the mother...is redeemable. But, well, some of the enemy might be desperate, yes. However, that doesn't excuse their crimes. Don't forget that a lot of these people who were 'just' tricked, or supposedly don't know any better, still willingly kill defenseless people just for being lycans. They gas them out, hand their souls over to Vile, just for being lycans. They don't care which ones fight back and which ones don't; they just kill them all. Is it really wrong to want to kill anyone and everyone who is willing to do that to us?"

Ahnasha lowered her head briefly and let out a sigh before pointing to the room with the captives. "And that man, that enemy soldier, don't even for a second think he's innocent. He wasn't even killing lycans; he was hunting Talos worshipers. He was hunting down and killing defenseless townsfolk just because they wanted to worship some old Emperor. Whether or not he did any of the killing personally, he was still helping them. Don't you think those townsfolk had families that cared about them? Children that relied on them? Do their families matter any less than his? He made a deal with a Daedra to help kill them because he needed money. If you're asking if I have sympathy for him, then no. I don't have the smallest shred of sympathy for a man like him." She said resolutely.

Kaleeth had a hard time believing that what Sabine said was true. She did not think that Sabine would lie to her, of course, but her first thought was that she was mistaken somehow. Confusion did not show too clearly in a werecrocodile's expression, but there was a hint of it in her voice. "That...can't be right. Are you sure that's what happened? That doesn't sound like them at all. Is there any other way it could have happened? An accident, or..." She asked, her deep voice trailing off.
