Kaleeth shook her head. "She didn't say anything, but...I don't think that really matters anymore. Petty things like that don't really carry over after death, I don't think. Especially now that she understands the reasons for everything." She answered, after which she simply closed her eyes and allowed herself to relax.

Just as planned, Ahnasha and Fendros informed Meesei of their intentions as soon as they met up with her the next day. She did take some slight convincing that Rossarm would even be worth the trouble, but for the most part, she trusted both Fendros and Ahnasha's judgement. As such, she had wasted no time in returning to Blackreach to have Marod write up the writ Calia requested, then brought him back with them  in case the personal presence of a Penitus Oculatus agent was needed. If all went to plan, none of them would be talking to Rossarm before he had agreed to help, but both Ahnasha and Meesei wanted to be prepared regardless. 

All four of them were waiting in the inn for Calia to arrive. There was at least some good luck for Ahnasha in that her family had all gone back to the castle that morning for another meeting with the Count's steward, so she had, thusfar, managed to avoid any difficult conversations with her family. Though, she knew one would be coming up sooner or later. For now, it would be up to Calia to take the writ to Rossarm and convince him to help, assuming she still intended to follow through with the plan.

It had been calm in the scholar's loft for much of the day, aside from a few, colorful curses from Marcaiile venting her frustration. She was not usually one to be so emotional, but neither again was it common for her to have such consistent failures as she had been having the past few weeks. She had taken up study into the mysterious ore known as Aetherium that could be found all over Blackreach, but no amount of effort or creativity on her part had produced even a hint of results that would allude to the supposed power the Dwemer texts claimed it held. Needless to say, they were no closer to understanding it than they had been for years. 

For Sabine, that routine would be broken when Saras came through the door into her work area, with one of the Dwemer scholars in tow. As was usual for the Dunmer when he was working, he wasted no time in getting straight to the point. "Miss Montgrave, there is an urgent matter which requires your immediate attention. It involves the vampire, Hal-Neesa. She is demanding to see the Champion right away, but as both Meesei and Mr. Avarul are currently away from Blackreach, you are currently the highest ranking lycan in the clan."
