Ahnasha was curious to see what Fendros would do next, but when he moved straight to the other leg, she gave an exaggerated huff and turned her head in sarcastic disappointment, as well as swiping her tail lightly across his face. As he continued up her other thigh, she rested her head on her arms once more and waited to see what would happen.

Lorag chugged the rest of his mug and gave Janius the most serious look he could muster. "Well, I just happen to like the taste of dead rat. Goes well with human hearts." He said, finally breaking down into a laugh before moving on to answer his question. "I'm sure they'll be back eventually. Maybe they'll just blow those witches up while they're there and save us the trouble. I hate fighting mages, and a witch coven sounds like there would be plenty of them. We can all have drinks once they're here, though I don't think we have anything for Alpha. Probably a good thing. Knowing our luck, we would wake up with a parasitic Daedra having impregnated you or something. Not that you wouldn't make a great mother. He joked, again staring at Janius with a serious expression.

Meesei was utterly motionless in the brush, waiting in silence to spring their ambush. Undead thralls were not known for their intelligence, but they had to make sure their kidnapping did not seem like an attack. She needed to form her distraction in a way that could be interpreted as something else. After a few minutes of silent waiting, a patrol walked by, just as Ariel had predicted. 

Meesei needed to act quickly, but precisely. She charged a weak magelight in her hand, then cast it at just the right angle that it would be visible in just the periphery of the skeletons' vision. The light was just strong enough to be noticed, but died away almost immediately. By the time the sentinels had turned in its direction, it was gone, but its effect had already taken hold. The skeletons had spotted something and now needed to investigate. Once the undead soldiers started to move away, Meesei braced herself to dash out as soon as Ariel paralyzed their target. They would need to be quick to move it to a safe position.
