Meesei kept a firm grip on Sabine's shoulders, with just enough pressure to provide another reminder of Meesei's constant presence. "If that staff is as powerful as it seems, then it would be foolish not to use it against Vile. However, if you really are relying upon the staff as much as you say, then that is all the more reason to stay away from it as much as possible. The staff is just a weapon. A powerful weapon, but still just an object. It is not healthy to have your sanity bound to a lifeless object. I know it will not be easy, but you have to try to break yourself away from it. Sometimes, there has to be pain before there can be healing." For a brief moment, Meesei looked back towards the Dragon. She would not want to diminish Sabine's accomplishment, but its body did serve as strong evidence of the staff's power. It allowed Sabine and the others to slay the Dragon with hardly an injury among them. It was understandable that the staff would give her confidence; the problem came in that Sabine seemed to have lost all of her confidence without it. "When we are back home among our clan, or not doing anything to involve ourselves in a fight, I would like for you to allow me to keep the staff securely locked away. We can use it against any danger, but I do not believe you should allow yourself to become accustomed to it always being around. Powerful artifacts such as the staff tend to be fickle, with something of a mind of their own. They can move on from their owners at their own will, according to old stories. I will be there for you every step of the way, and I promise you will have the time you need. Just because we now have the Axe does not mean we are ready to invade Vile's realm right away. We still need to take the time to gather all of our allies, resources, equipment, and everything else we will need to give us the best chance possible. Not to mention, we still need to have another Daedra empower the Axe. All of that will take time, so you do not have to worry about rushing into anything."
