Kaleeth lowered her head as she thought back on her brother. It had not been too long since his passing, and it was still difficult to think about. "Oh, well, he was going to be a hunter like me. He was good at it too, much braver than me. He never seemed to be afraid, and he always tried to help me not be afraid, even though he was two years younger than me. He died in his trial though; he picked the same one I did. We don't know exactly what happened, or what killed him. His body was in many pieces when we found it. I...only looked at it once, it was very hard to see his remains like that. He was very friendly and had a lot of friends. He got into trouble a lot, but never anything too bad." She explained. As they reached the swimming hole, Kaleeth removed her loincloth and lowered herself silently into the river. Her somber mood did not last too long, however, as Leaps seemed to find the only logical thing to do once they reached the river was to jump in after her and start to tread water. With its small frame, it was rather amusing to watch, so it once again brought a smile to her face and caused her to laugh.

"Hmm, yes and no." Meesei responded, stopping to think for a moment on how to phrase her answer. "The ritual of binding is generally reserved for Argonians who are hatched away from the Hist and need to have their soul bound to them. It was not necessary for me to undergo such a ritual, however, I did know what was going to happen, roughy. As Treeminder, I consumed the sap to commune with the HIst many times, for different reasons. I was also trained to perform that very same ritual on others, so I had a good idea of what was going to happen. The Hist do not always go about communing with the one bound to them in the same way, so I did not know that they were going to have you relive your memories, as I would have told you had I known."
