"Hmm, it was the opposite for me. My parents were always expecting me to take care of myself, so I became rather self-sufficient, but joining the pack brought me into a tight-knit family which always takes care of one another." Ahnasha commented. "Well, I hope you have luck in finding someone for yourself. Maybe you should get to know Earondil? I doubt he would be interested in a relationship with anyone, but he is a nice person, and he might have nice friends." She suggested with a smile.

"Anyway, as for how long I've been a lycan, I turned somewhere around five years ago, when I was seventeen. I had been worshiping Hircine for years before that, and after proving my prowess to him, he led me to Meesei, who gave me the gift. Before that, I was the daughter of a pair of merchants in Leyawiin. It was a boring life, and I wouldn't recommend it. I don't see how you don't go insane with boredom doing the same thing day in and day out in Vos." Ahnasha answered. It seemed like Ariel's life had taken an opposite turn from her own, as she had been born into a coven dedicated to the study of magic, alchemy, and Hircine knows what else, then left it for a life as a merchant in a city. 

Lorag grunted, finally paying attention to the conversation. "Heh, I turned when I was seventeen too, except that was a lot longer ago. Fifteen years ago, actually. I was in the Legion in Skyrim during their civil war. My patrol got ambushed by a pack of lycans. I killed one, but it got me pretty good and ended up turning me. I ended up spending nine years trying to figure everything out before Alpha found me."

Meesei spoke up next. Ariel had been learning quite a bit about them, and lycans in general, and she was curious on what her opinion of them would be by the end of their time together. "I myself have been a lycan for nine years. I turned to Hircine after the hunters in my village began facing trouble, and I have remained in his service since then. I accepted the gift from one of his hounds, then moved to Cyrodiil to start this pack."
