Meesei noticed Ariel's hesitation to get in the water. She knew about her inability to swim, but had not thought greatly on the matter before this point. Being that they were in Black Marsh, water was ubiquitous, and flooding was a concern. Most of the cities were built in places that were safe from rising waters, but if she ever wanted to go elsewhere, being able to swim would be helpful. "You know, Ariel, I should teach you to swim. Well, maybe [i]I[/i] should not be the one to teach you; I would not know the first thing about teaching someone else to swim, as it is basically instinctual for Argonians. Perhaps one of the others could teach you? As I am sure you can tell, there is no shortage of water in Black Marsh, so it is something you may want to learn. Failing that, you could always learn a water walking spell, although it may not be wise to rely only on your magic to deal with water."

Ahnasha paused for a moment in thought. She was relatively certain that a lycan could safely transform at any point during a pregnancy, but it would still be rather unfortunate timing if it happened exactly during the full moons. "I don't know, I think it would be fine. I mean, I know childbirth in and of itself is a dangerous thing. Mothers and children alike die all the time from complications. I admit, I get a little afraid when I think about it sometimes, but I do believe I have better chances than most. Khajiit cubs are born smaller than elven babies, so it is less risky by that fact alone. The bodies of lycans can live through much more punishment than those without the blessing, so that also helps me. Not to mention the fact that Meesei will be there to help with her magic. I don't think there is much of a reason to worry. It will probably hurt worse than anything I have ever experienced, but...there isn't much I can do about that."
