Sabine's breathing stilled. Whether or not she had thought about the prospect of being away from her family for so long, she still had to pause. It would be much nicer to have someone to keep her company. Perhaps Kaleeth could. Thoughts of taking Kaleeth or anyone else away from their child while Meesei raged quickly started to suppress such a desire. The potential backlash against them personally sealed the matter shut.

"No, I do not want anyone to be at risk like that," Sabine said quickly. "Not any of you. It will be lonely, but...no, none of you should come with me."

Janius responded with a cautious suggestion. "Do you have any friends that could go with you? Anyone that could not reasonably be blamed by Meesei for any of this?"

In spite of her anxious pose, Sabine's eyes lit up slightly. She was silent for another few moments, giving the opportunity for others to comment.
