Meesei's first response was a simple, light smile up at Fendros. "Tired, for the most part. I think even Hal-Neesa has been exhausted by our efforts these past few days."

Ahnasha stepped up slowly on Meesei's other side, though kept a bit more distance than Fendros. She did not look directly at Meesei, and showed what seemed like shame in her expression. "Meesei, I...know you have been working pretty much non-stop. You can rest if you like. We can still work and see if we can come up with some-"

Interrupting Ahnasha, Meesei held up one hand slightly. "Ahnasha, it is alright. We have worked hard on this. You have given it many hours, given it all of your effort, and you have all helped make so much more progress in such a short amount of time than anyone ever could have expected from you. You have given me good ideas to work with, and I could not ask for any more. But right now, that is not why I am here."

Meesei's breaths paused a few moments as she stood up, slowly, to her feet. She moved as if every limb had a heavy weight attached to the end of it, and only got to her feet after the protest of aching joints and tired muscles. "I remember what happened the last time I had too much conviction. I remember spending practically months at a time with nothing but me and tomes of Apocrypha. I remember being so afraid of losing my life that I failed to live it. Tomorrow...is the end of the war. For better or for worse. No matter how well, or how poorly it goes, things will never be the same for us again. Today, I am going to spend a few hours with my family."
