Meesei hummed for a moment in thought. "You can say it is not about protecting me all you like, but I know you would not be doing this for many others. Still, you may be right. With you, me, Sabine, and the Staff of Magnus, even those vampires would not be able to so easily harm us. Ideally, though, this will end peacefully, and with an empowered Axe."

Eventually, Meesei sat up entirely on the edge of the bed and gave a brief sigh. "At any rate, I wish I could just lay back down here with you for the rest of the night, but I believe I should at least be [i]seen[/i] returning to my chambers for the night. I doubt anyone will jump to any [i]accurate[/i] conclusions, but I would not want anyone suspicious to think that I am scheming with the Dominion all night. Particularly Marod. Still, after an hour or two, I think I would be safe to teleport back here for the night. Perhaps give you a nice, warm, furry blanket to wrap your arms around." Meesei grinned. 

Standing up, Meesei stretched out her muscles and glanced towards the door. Having not been dressed to begin with, she did not have anything to gather before leaving. "After this business with the vampires is dealt with, we should most certainly take a nice, long break. In the lower levels of the city, we have these large pools of water that are heated by the Dwemer steam machinery. It is similar to a solution we devised to keep the water warm with magic back in our previous home, except the steam here can heat the water much like a hot spring. It is...supremely relaxing, and it would be a travesty if you did not get to enjoy it while you were here. As long as you can handle being in a public bath, of course." She said with a smile.

As the conversation shifted back to their duty, Do'rhajul dropped any hint of discomfort and nodded. "Of course. I would be glad to apply my expertise for you. Aside from my knowledge on Vile's cult, I would say it is the largest reason any of the others would want me alive. Although, I do believe that it would be wise for me to have help. Whoever you might trust for matters of strategy. I am intimately familiar with commanding soldiers, but I have never commanded lycanthropes. There may be details about which I am unfamiliar. Strengths and weaknesses I may not consider. Your General Ri'vashi would be the most qualified, but...it would not be wise to ask her to work so closely with me. Would you say Captain gro-Konesh, or Lorag, rather, has the relevant knowledge?"
