Rukeewei was finishing up the last touches on their appetizers when he heard the door open. "Oh, welcome back, dear, and girls, and Sabine, and...everyone else." He spoke up from the kitchen, still clearly distracted by his cooking. "Everything is almost ready. I made something special for us; Danee even helped."

After a few moments, Rukeewei stepped around the divider and into the sitting area, clasping his hands together as he looked at the group. "So, are you all hungry right now? It's just one of the appetizers that needs just a few more minutes, so I can go ahead and start setting up the table if you want."

Hal-Neesa huffed. "What, did you think that Molag Bal would just hand off enough divine power to defeat a Daedric Prince to a bunch of mortals and just trust them to do it right? No, Molag Bal now has a personal interest in making sure his investment in this little crusade is not squandered."

With no hesitation, Neesa stepped up and leaned forward onto the table as if she had been invited to do so. Though, it was quite clear she cared little for the opinions of anyone else present. "And even if he didn't, you still don't have anyone with anywhere remotely near my level of experience in...anything, really. But particularly not with dealing with Daedric hordes. And I am offering to give you all of that knowledge free of charge; aren't I generous?"
