Ahnasha looked at the water for a few moments, then nodded and started to remove her jewelry, clothing, and other adornments. The only thing she kept was her necklace. It had not been long after leaving Vvardenfell that she had Meesei apply a stamina fortification enchantment to it, which made her feel generally more lively and energetic. As a result, the only time she did not wear it was when she was taking on her wolf form, or trying to get to sleep. "Argonians do not sweat, actually. They just really like the heat, especially with humidity. They actually prefer being soaked when it's not cold. There are plenty of non-Argonians, even Khajiit, that actually enjoy living here, so maybe it is something you get used to?" 

Ahnasha slowly and carefully stood up, more out of caution than an actual inability to stand. Although she had become a bit less mobile over the past few months, she could still get around herself fairly well. That would likely change near the end of the pregnancy, but she was fine for now. Regardless, she avoided anything with a remote possibility of harming her child. Since her lifestyle had become much more sedentary recently, she had, on Lorag's recommendation, modified her usual training regimen to avoid losing too much muscle mass. "Let's see if we can get some of that salve, I could really do with a good massage. We should probably have Meesei pick out the spot for us. I don't want a fish latching onto my tail...again."

"Not at the moment, no. At least...not more than usual." Meesei answered. "The Hist always has a presence in our minds, even if it is weaker away from Black Marsh. To describe them as 'gods' in the same sense as the Daedra is not really accurate, even if they have the same kind of power and influence. Truly, it is hard to explain the nature of the Hist in a way that describes accurately what they are, even to other Argonians. As Treeminder of my clan, I had the greatest understanding of the Hist in my entire village, but even I admit that some of their mysteries elude me. This one is but a sapling, but it is connected by the root to all other Hist. They are just as one entity, so technically, this tree could be used for the ritual. However, that ritual requires Hist sap, and it would be difficult to extract it from this tree. No, it would be much better to find a village willing to let us perform the ritual and use sap from their tree. The Hist trees that Argonian villages are built around give their sap to the clan easily, so no effort is required to extract it."
