Meesei gladly accepted the blanket and quickly wrapped herself up as tightly as possible. She was not so prideful as to deny the limitations of what she was. The cold was not something she would trifle with.
"We will move when he moves. I will feel it if he starts to draw more distant, though I doubt he will leave before having a night's rest. Remember who he is. He is manipulative and cunning, but he is not a...physically impressive individual, for a lycan. After all of the walking, he will likely need his rest. Moreso if he has a long hike ahead of him. We will likely be able to have a night's sleep, though be ready to move quickly, just in case." Meesei answered.
Standing up for a moment, Meesei walked over to her bedroll and moved it closer to the fire. "Speaking of which, we should get some rest. We do not know how much walking there will be tomorrow."

Meesei was certainly not one for cold weather, and even with her fur cloak and the flame in her hand which she was holding close to herself, she looked like she was freezing. As soon as the camp had noticed her, she practically ran to the fire and sat as close as possible, holding out her hands to warm herself. For those not in her pack, it was likely the most "uncomposed" they had seen her.
After a few moments, Meesei answered Janius' question. "Yes, he is staying in a general store with an Altmer couple. A place called Novaroma. I do not know why they are allowing it. They could be agents of Vile, he could be forcing them, or they could be unconnected and he simply befriended them at some earlier time. In any case, I spoke to the pack currently in the city, to a man named Finley. he will have his pack keep a watch for Galsek and will send someone to warn us if he does anything strange. Otherwise, Galsek is apparently planning on leaving tomorrow morning. I will know when he leaves, and we will be there to follow."
As she finished her explanation, Meesei turned her head away from the fire, towards the darkened, snow-covered landscape. To her, it looked like a place that should be more desolate than the driest of deserts. "And people live in this place. Willingly." She mumbled.

Meesei would head straight back to camp after this, if you want to take her there in your next one.
"That would depend on your definition of dangerous." Meesei answered. "Galsek is a snake who was easily captured. Likely, he will just want to get out of the city without confrontation, however; he is an agent of the enemy, and a manipulative individual. He would have no qualms about harming any of you, if he is able. Just be cautious, and avoid confronting him."
Meesei stood up from her chair, giving Finley a polite nod. "Thank you for your assistance. I should return to the others for the night, but your watchful eyes will be appreciated." She added. Meesei remained for a moment, in case Finley or the others had any further questions for her, but afterwards, she would head back up to the camp with the others. She would have liked to keep watch over Galsek for the night, but staying in the city for that long only raised her chance of detection. Besides which, she needed to inform the others at camp of what she had learned, as well as their plans.

Meesei listened to the Nord woman, though she was not sure of what to make of the news of this Suurootan leaving either. It was possible that it was entirely unrelated to Vile or Galsek. After all, it was not uncommon for people, especially business owners, to have reason to travel. But, it was still enough that she could be suspicious.
"You say they have been here a few hundred years? Well, that does not preclude them from being connected to the enemy, but as you say, it is not good to jump to conclusions. They may be entirely unconnected to either party. Galsek may simply have been friendly with them and is asking for a favor. It would not be so far-fetched. Regardless, we will need to have the pair watched to make sure they have no...connections which would interest us. However, that is not as important at the moment. I need to get back to the others and make camp for the night. I will know when and if he leaves the city, but if you see him do anything strange, perhaps if he is carrying something odd or is not alone when he leaves..." She began, leaning in even more closely and speaking more quietly. "...send someone to the outcrop grove to inform us. As quickly as possible. We will not be far behind him. Again, that is only necessary if you notice anything strange about his departure."

Meesei gave a simple nod to Finley as she made room for herself at the table. The tavern was more crowded than before, so she had to be more careful in conversation. Other non-lycans were sitting closer and more likely to overhear their whispers. If necessary, they could move somewhere more private, as Meesei was no longer as bound by time constraints.
"Yes, I have. He went to the general store several hours ago, the one on an upper terrace near the keep. He is still there. You are in the city often, correct? What do you know about the owner of that store?" She asked, directly and quietly. If this owner was an agent of Vile, it was possible that some of the packs in the city might have noticed any of his or her strange behavior. Of course, it was also possible that Galsek was merely manipulating an innocent, or the agent was skilled at hiding their operations.

Meesei continued to track Galsek patiently, regardless of the amount of time which passed. To avoid suspicion from anyone who happened to be watching her, she had to stay mobile enough to seem like she was going about her business. She could stay in one place for a time, looking through her notes and map, but the cold made it unusual for one to stay outside for too long, especially travelers. There were times where she entered various stores and browsed their inventory, and even purchased a small bag of snowberries from a produce merchant. All the while, she kept focusing on Galsek to finely determine where exactly he was.
Eventually, it became obvious that Galsek was staying in the general store. She could not enter the store herself, so she did not know exactly what was happening, but it was strongly possible that the store owner was a contact of Galsek's. It was not absolutely guaranteed that the store owner was affiliated with Vile, as he or she could simply be a friend of Galsek's who is unaware of his connections, but it was certainly suspicious. Since Galsek did not seem to be moving, Meesei found it safe enough for her to return to the inn to follow up on what she had learned. She made her way back to the Tap and Tack and once again scanned around the room to look for Finley, or one of the other lycans.

Ssarak Dyreackthanose

At first, Ssarak thought that Uicle was somehow willing the quill to write down notes from their meeting, but he then noticed that Uicle seemed just as surprised as himself. Even more strangely was that the letter started out being addressed to himself, and not Uicle. It seemed that the archmage was satisfied with his performance in speaking to the diplomats. He did not know by what means the archmage was able to know what he had said or done, but it quite honestly did not surprise him. For Ovak to be the archmage of the College, he must hold exceptional power. Ssarak smiled upon reading Ovak's suggestion involving the garden, though the tone of the letter quickly shifted once it became directed at Uicle. Most of the students knew that he had been injured in the demon attack; he now walked with a cane, after all. But, it was troubling that the headmaster's condition was worsening.
Ssarak supposed he could have guessed that Uicle would recommend him to speak with Khan, given his success with the diplomats. Uicle seemed to think it was because he was not taking his medicine, and was quite agitated about the matter. He wanted Ssarak to chide him for not taking care of himself, though of course, Ssarak was likely to take a different approach. Uicle did not quite give him time to verbally agree to the task he had given him, but he agreed nonetheless. Keeping the headmaster healthy seemed to be far too important of a request to simply ignore.
Given that the time of the feast was drawing closer, Ssarak reasoned that Khan, and most of the other teachers, likely, would be in the dining hall. The College tended to be quite crowded during the time of the opening feast, but fortunately, most of those crowds were not filling most of the the halls between Uicle's office and the dining hall. His pace only slowed once he reached the dining hall itself. The crowd had grown even larger than the last time he was there, but like Uicle, Khan was not a difficult person to pick out of a large group. There were only a few Esyire in the room to begin with, and Khan was the only one who was seated.
Once he made his way through the crowd, Ssarak took a seat directly across from Khan. He did not know if it was assigned to anyone else, but as the feast had not yet started, most of the chairs were empty at the moment anyway. "Greetings, headmaster." Ssarak began with a polite nod. "Forgive me for intruding but...well, I will give no false pretenses. The archmage wished for me to speak with you."

Meesei shook her head. "No, but thank you for your assistance. I would avoid him if you can, but most importantly, do what you can to avoid alerting him that anything is wrong. I will be handling him personally, do not worry. I will find you if something happens which you need to know about. As helpful as it will be to track him, I consider your safety to be more important, which is why I approached you to start. Now, I should get back outside. Take care of yourselves." She answered.
Once Meesei took her leave of the pack, she quickly went back outside and returned to shadowing Galsek. She remained far away, preferably with buildings and other visual obstacles between her and Galsek. Still, she always made sure to know approximately which building he was in. If he entered a private residence as opposed to an inn, then she would need to investigate to identify whoever he was staying with. For that, the pack in the Tap and Tack could be of further assistance.
