Oswall had his eyes cast down and twisting him mouth. Vera returned Ri'vashi's look with a similar conflict in them.

"I am pleased that you were the one to accept Do'rhajul's capitulation, Sabine." Of all people, Darahil was the one that broke the silence. "Were it anyone else, I dare say we would be talking to a head on the end of a spear. This is an opportunity, I think. But I would rather secure any new bonds we decide here by means we can all relate to." Darahil unfolded his arms and wove his fingers together, resting them on the table in front of him. "Do'rhajul, Sabine..." His piercing eyes flicked to catch both of the pair before him. "Would you be willing to form a new pack? With Sabine as the alpha?"

Sabine opened her mouth a fraction, letting in a tiny, shocked gasp. She stared at Darahil without any idea how to respond.

Vera lifted her brow and hummed thoughtfully. "If he truly wants to help us, that relationship would be the closest thing to make sure he does."

"You cannot just force such a thing," Oswall said indignantly.

Darahil patiently responded. "I do not believe there shall much force at all, Oswall. See their relationship already." Darahil nodded to Sabine and Do'rhajul. "Between them, Sabine is clearly acknowledged as the more powerful one, the wiser one, and she herself is clearly prepared to be responsible for Do'rhajul's actions. And his protection."

Oswall gestured forward. "How can we expect him to just...become one of us all of a sudden?" He shot back. "After everything he has done?! He is a danger! A curse! One false move and he reveals the location of this place for all his hunters to bear down with gasses and silver."

"Do you doubt the motives he and Sabine have related to us, Oswall?" Darahil asked.

"I...no." Oswall let out a breath. "If in that position, with the knowledge he had, I could not guarantee being present enough to sway differently." He emphasised each individual word continuing. "I just see this as a risk. One better left not taken."

"If Sabine is his alpha, there shall be no significant risk." Darahil recrossed his arms, all but indicating the end of the argument. Indeed, Oswall slumped back into his seat with nothing further to say.

Vera spoke up. "Do'rhajul, have you been part of a werewolf pack before? Do you know what it entails?"
