As they were speaking, the last of their guests found their seats at the table. The man who sat down on the other side of Ciinriel was a Bosmer man. He looked to be strong for one of his kind, though just about at an average height for a Bosmer. He was likely the husband that Ciinriel had mentioned, but Sabine would not have time to ask before Meesei stood up to get everyone's attention. The moment that Meesei stood, the organizers began to quiet the crowd and prepared to bring the food out to the tables as soon as the speeches had been delivered. Meesei had planned out the timing of a certain reveal quite intentionally. "It is a great pleasure to have been able to gather all of us here in celebration for this great milestone in our war against our enemy. In fact, I can proudly announce that, with our recent accomplishments, we are but a few steps from eliminating our enemy from Tamriel [i]entirely[/i]!" There were some predictable cheers from the audience from Meesei's claim, but she continued quickly. "I understand there has been some frustration in the past in regards to the secrecy we have used in our plans, but I can announce that our efforts have won us a decisive victory. We have claimed not one, but multiple artifacts of legendary power that will give even the most powerful of Daedra reason to fear us. The leader our our enemy's armies, the general Do'rhajul, was defeated, and shall no longer act against us. And we have secured allies that shall help ensure the downfall of our enemy once and for all." Meesei stepped slightly to one side, allowing Sabine space to take a more central position at the end of the table once it was time for her to stand. "As much as I would wish to claim credit for these accomplishments, it was not even the combined efforts of my pack that gave us these victories. Rather, it was the bravery, skill, and willpower of but one of its members." Meesei said, motioning her hand towards Sabine beside her. "Sabine Montgrave, the woman who was once my protégée, and who has become a true hero of our people. When captured by our enemy's general, tortured by Vile's zealots, she did not submit. Rather, she freed herself, and defeated Vile's most skilled agents by her own hand. She not only [i]defeated[/i] Vile's general, but inspired the fearsome Do'rhajul to bend his knee in [i]service[/i] to her, instead of the deceiver Clavicus Vile." Do'rhajul, upon Meesei's instruction, had been standing alongside the table, and stepped forward with his head bowed once Meesei called attention to him. Naturally, that particular announcement sparked a rush of gasps and surprised conversation among the crowd, but Meesei still continued quickly. "And among all of those accomplishments, Sabine still found the time to bring us the main course of this feast." On his cue, one of the organizers revealed the contents of the largest, gold-plated platter at the end of the table: the roasted head of the dragon. From there, Meesei simply remained silent to allow the crowd time to react, and for Sabine to say anything she wished.
