Ariel leaned against the balustrade with both hands. "Sithis, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. That there's a connection with the Hist is interesting. Well, I suppose I have some studying to do, hmm... perhaps I should have bought a book in Vos about Black Marsh before we left. Oh well. Um, Meesei," Ariel looked up at Meesei with a reluctant expression. She didn't want to be a burden, she had been given so much by the pack already. "I don't suppose, where there are spare moments, you could instruct me with Jel and the history of the Marsh? I don't know how much there is to learn, but I've not looked into it much myself."

Fendros moved to slowly bring both his arms around Ahnasha's shoulders and face her directly. "Hmm, if they are shorter pregnancies, then when would you expect to start showing about now? Surely if it wasn't now, then it would be soon, right?"
