Casting his mind back to the tall Khajiit that had died in the ambush on the rival pack, Fendros tried to imagine one in Legionnaire armour with a war hammer. It was an impressive image, even in his imagination. Lorag's suspicions that his commander might have survived was not hard for Fendros to believe. "Maybe you'll get a nickname at some point, Lorag," Fendros said.

"Teddy..."

Fendros looked over his shoulder, Sabine was still busily grinding bulbs into fibre, giving no indication that she had talked, but Fendros was certain that it was her voice. Fendros quickly exhaled with a grin on his face. He looked at Janius, who seemed similarly amused.

"A big huggable bear..." Janius muttered, looking over to Lorag. He lifted his chin and began to erupt into hearty laughter, "I'm not sure that we could do that to Lorag, Runt dear!" He said through his laughs. At the end of his laughter he waved his finger around, trying to compose himself, "It's a thought, though."

"I don't know..." Fendros added as he laughed along with Janius, "it seems a bit cruel."

Ariel looked at the ground, she was not really sure whether she would ever be fully redeemed.

"Oh Meesei, I know I cannot have Sabine stay. Her place is with your pack." Ariel assured her with a comforting face that hid her own grief, "I will be satisfied knowing that she is being taken care of. That she has found such a loving family is wonderful." Ariel looked ahead again, "Still, it will be sad to say goodbye."

She released a longing sigh, then looked at Meesei again, gesturing with one hand. "However, if you do come by Vos again, do come and visit. You will always be welcome at my shop. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to let go of so much stock as I have already, but this was a special circumstance," she smiled and put her hand on Meesei's shoulder and stopped for a moment. "You are a wise woman Meesei, I've seen that much. I cannot thank you enough, and I cannot think of anyone I would rather have raising my sister."

She let go and continued to walk, the mention of having Sabine's mind 'restored' was an interesting prospect, even if it was mysterious. "I'm curious about what you mean by 'cured', though. Is there a way you mean to treat her mental trauma?"
