Marod's smile remained, though he took a short moment to respond. "I...had no idea anyone was as knowledgeable about them outside of the national institutions," he said, taking steps forward. "I do not believe we have been introduced. I am Marod, Imperial representative to the lycan clans." He extended a hand in greeting.

Meanwhile, Sabine and Fendros were huddled in with Meesei. Fendros nodded and Sabine quickly whispered "I understand."

"I had better stay behind," Fendros whispered before Sabine could say anything else. "It's diplomatically risky setting foot on Alinor as a Dunmer in the first place, and you together have a better chance at dealing with [i]her[/i] if you absolutely need to. [i]She[/i] and I do are not on the best terms."

Vera patiently looked on, though she betrayed some worry between her glances to Meesei and Neesa.
