"I think those rumors may turn to our advantage." Meesei replied. "Sabine did kill the main course of our feast herself, after all. If we unveil a platter with the head of a dragon, one of the most fearsome beings in Tamriel, in front of the clan, that will send a message. The people are going to need hope in the coming days, and we can give them a hero. I know that Sabine has never particularly wanted that kind of attention, but I am confident she would accept it for the sake of the clan. Her accomplishments were equal to those of figures who have been immortalized in song. That is something that our people can look up to. I think it would be best to emphasize how Do'rhajul is now a [i]servant[/i] of Sabine. Our noble hero who caused even the greatest of our enemies to bend his knee to her. With the right kind of presentation, they may see it as an even greater accomplishment than killing him outright." 

Saras hummed in contemplation. "That is possible. The rumors I have heard circulating around already do seem to focus on Sabine. We would just need to take care in how exactly we portray the events. And in what order they are announced."

Do'rhajul let out a long breath with his eyes closed, hesitating just a few seconds before responding. "They said nothing to me I have not already said to myself." His eyes opened and firmly fixated upon Sabine's. "But I am at a disadvantage in this place. I am clearly not as familiar with your clans as I had thought. I want to know what this means for you; your Champion seemed surprised at the Altmer's suggestion."
