"Excellent. The total for all of you will be twenty gold. I will get started right away." Rukeewei said before leaving to set up his cooking pots.

Since they had some time to wait before they could eat, Meesei figured it would be a good time to get a sense of what everyone else would be doing that day, even if Lorag and Ahnasha had not yet arrived. There were meant to be various competitions that day in which anyone could participate, although she was not sure exactly how one would enter. Meesei was still undecided on whether she wanted to actually enter anything or not, but she definitely was going to accompany Ariel to her meeting, if at all possible. She wanted to see for herself if Ariel could get the loan she needed, and help in any way she could. 

"So, Ariel, you have your meeting with the An-Xileel today, correct? If you get the loan you are looking for, do you have any ideas on how you are going to get a supplier for your alchemical ingredients? That is the biggest unknown I see right now, and I think it is definitely something to think about." Meesei asked. There was no way Ariel would be able to gather all the ingredients herself, both because it would be too time intensive of a task, and due to the danger of the marsh. Many plants and animals that lived in Morrowind also lived in northern Black Marsh, so she wouldn't be completely out of her element in terms of ingredients, but there were also ingredients that were found only in the marsh that she would need to get used to.
