"So, too long, in other words." Meesei commented. "For the most part, we just need her to be content enough not to interfere with the Empire or Dominion. Neesa is irritating, but we can put up with her. Our allies may not be so patient. It would help if we knew more about her. She is an exceptionally powerful and possibly ancient vampire, but we really have no way of knowing how much of what she says is true. If she is really that old, then she likely would have seen or experienced anything we could possibly try to keep her occupied. Novel experiences are probably rare after four thousand years. I would suggest perhaps giving her the freedom to study some of the Dwemer mysteries present in this place, but she dismissed the idea that [i]anyone[/i] should study them."

The group's conversation was interrupted when they reached the vault. It was deep underneath the Silent City, in a sturdily built room that the Dwemer might have used for the same purpose. The clan had applied their own enchantments to the door to bolster their security, and as such, Meesei went by herself to store away the axe. She was away for only a few minutes before returning, having thought of no new answers to their problems in the interim. 

Ahnasha had been looking uncomfortable for the entire duration of their conversation. She stood somewhat back from the others, her arms crossed and her gaze down on the floor. "Look, I...know it's probably not a good idea to leave Neesa to herself for too long. Never mind how Lorag might be handling her. Knowing him, he might end up either starting a fight, or in bed with her. Not sure which would be worse. It's just that...I [i]really[/i] don't want to be around that woman. I hated even having to look at her again. I know that she wasn't the one that hurt Rhazii, but it was because of her and her husband all the same. If you need my help with her, you have it, don't get me wrong. I'd just like to stay away from her if I can."

"That may be harder now that she is here; I doubt she will take kindly to us if we try to restrict where she can go. Nor would she obey if we tried. But, I'll try to keep you two apart." Meesei answered. "Who does feel that they could come with me to speak to our new guest? In any case, I plan to keep this staff on hand at all times. Neesa may be stronger than me, but not with the staff's power on hand."
