"Well, she didn't win this year, but she placed better than last year, third to be specific. There are a lot of competition at those events, oftentimes from all across Tamriel. It can be hard to compete with some foreign materials. Still, she has won before, and I don't think she's upset. At any rate, I'll certainly show up the grand opening of your shop, if I am at all able to. My brother should be taking over for me shortly, so I'll have time for most of the day. Hopefully, I'll have a bit more luck than Neer at the wine tasting competition in a little over an hour. It's hard to compete with some of the exotic ingredients from outside the marsh, but I think I'm up to the task. If you find the time, I hope to see you all there." Rukeewei responded,

Meesei thought for a moment as she started on her breakfast. They had planned to help put the final touches on Ariel's store before departing the city, but in reality, they had no strict timetable. Starting in a few hours would be just as good as starting immediately after breakfast, so they could attend the competition if they wished. It would be the last chance Ariel would have to spend any time with her sister, as well as the rest of the group, so Meesei saw no harm in it. "I believe we could do that, if the everyone else wishes to join."
