"If it isn't, I don't want to bother with reality." Ahnasha responded with a vibrant smile. After a few moments, she pulled herself away from him for a moment, but only so she could rest herself against him more easily. She laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her tail around his waist. They could potentially be stepping into considerable danger tomorrow, but for the moment, Ahnasha wasn't particularly worried about that.

Meesei was near her bedroll, slightly apart from the camp with a few filled soul gems in front of her. She was ruminating on whether or not she should create a few enchantments when Sabine approached her. She stood up, then silently listened as Sabine explained what was troubling her. Meesei thought for a few moments before responding, her expression not betraying her emotions in the slightest. She was slightly upset at the news, not because of the news itself, but because Sabine had not mentioned it before now. 

"Sabine, I would expect you to inform me of such things sooner. All of the information we have needs to be available to me if I am to make the right decisions." Meesei said, her voice not angry, but firm. " We need some one to stay and guard our camp; that person can be you. Now, tell me about this woman, this apothecary. Who is she, and is she someone we need to worry about? Or can we use her to our advantage?"
