"Thanks for breakfast, Ahna," Fendros said in reply to Ahnasha's kiss. He nodded back to Lorag and sat down properly next to the fire once Ahnasha had gotten up to serve Ariel. He carefully took one of the pieces that Ahnasha had prepared and took a bite. [i]So that's what that smell was,[/i] Fendros thought immediately. The meat was sweetened, very sweetened. While he didn't think he would be able to eat more than just his portion without starting to feel slightly sickened by it, it was a tasty and interesting change.

Ariel looked up at Ahnasha from where she sat and took the meal gratefully. Her chewing was slow while Ahnasha tried to cheer her up. Her words were appreciated. "Thank you, Ahnasha, I think I'll be alright," Ariel reassured, smiling and nodding in lieu of her worries, "I just..." She looked forward, "I worry too much sometimes. There's a lot going through my head at the moment and..." Ariel's sentence fell into a chuckle that quickly choked up and cause her eyes to go red. She stopped and sniffed. 

Janius came by, having finished donning his armour, and took up the other cooked guar cut and furrowed his brow with an "Ooh," on his first bite. He looked at Ahnasha with a half-smile, "Haven't had Khajiit style cooking for a while, thanks Ahnasha!" Janius took a seat and continued eating, but cocked his head at Ariel, who appeared to be on the brink of crying. "You alright there, Ariel?" He asked, drawing the attention of everyone else by the campfire towards her. Both Janius and Fendros held expressions of concern.

"I- I'm fine, I'm fine," Ariel tried to say to everyone, overwhelmed by the attention towards her less composed self. Janius turned his head slightly while looking at her, clearly showing his disbelief. "It's just," She paused and tried to keep herself together, "I'm going to be moving my shop after tonight. The coven might come looking for me after all this. I've been worrying about where to go."
