"An Altmer woman?" Ariel said, slightly surprised. She paused for a moment. "Hm, I should not be so surprised, you must meet all sorts of people in your position, from all over the world. Oh, I love the intrigue of it. A lover kept secret...Do you at least have enough chances to spend time together?"

Teroiah took in a careful breath. "I understand the effectiveness of matching our best against the enemy's elite, whether they make room for the two groups to fight or not. However, before you start reminiscing about your halcyon days of witnessing the creation of the Mundus at the hands of the Aedra, may we reconcile what we can gain from this plan? Are these daedra as susceptible to disarray as a conventional army? Are they smart enough to know what we may be doing? If Meesei is rendered unable to bring the axe to Vile, likely out of sheer bad luck, our chances are made far slimmer."

"I actually like the idea," Gro-Tagnud said. "Even if it doesn't disrupt the enemy too much, it'll be a good believable distraction. I was briefed on the Hircine cult's general culture, General Ri'vashi. They'll see the champion picking fights for the sake of it like any other lycan looking to show their dominance. They'll try to take the chance to put her down, drawing their attention." He looked to Neesa. "With respect, I have to insist that the anchors aren't placed too near to the army. The only thing better than having an extra army at your back is having an extra army behind the enemy. Of course, if we find a defensible spot to hold up where there just happens to be an anchor site we can exploit, doesn't mean we have to pass that up."
