Meesei's words included considerations that hadn't occurred to Fendros, but it was reassuring to hear that she would speculate further. If Hircine could give them clarification on the matter, it would make things much easier in the event that Mephala showed herself again. They were dismissed to their own devices then. It put Fendros on edge a little to hear that the raid was postponed, but if Meesei thought that it was for the best then Fendros would trust her.

As the enchanters went about their work again, Fendros stood for a moment and looked on. Ariel seemed to be quite shaken by hearing that a Breton might be the agent of vile that would try to trick them, knowing that suspicion would be directed toward herself. Sabine didn't seem phased, but she was Sabine. Not showing emotions was normal from her.

Quickly confounded by what they were doing to the thrall, Fendros moved on to their food stores to grab something to eat. He pulled out a strip of meat that probably used to be attached to the leg of a hunter. He bit at it raw. He didn't really feel like putting forth the effort to cook it this time. The raw meat was a taste he hadn't quite acquired yet, but he could bear it. After swallowing the first bite, he wondered where Lorag and Janius were, but with Janius' shield not being present where it was normally kept, he assumed he was sparring, or simply being coached by Lorag somewhere. Before he took his second bite, his eyes caught Ahnasha's from across the room. Fendros walked up to her and sat next to her. "What are you thinking?" Fendros asked idly while leaning forward and looking at her face.
