Kaleeth was starting to wish she would have paid more attention to Thorantilth's history lessons growing up. There were parts she found interesting, but she had often been too impatient to dedicate herself to remembering the fine details. Still, she remembered parts of what he said. "Uh, well, I think so. I think Treeminder said they were strong, with powerful armies and magic, but...I think they had some problems in the swamps. Most outsiders do. I remember he said they took Argonians, Kothringi, Lilmothiit, and anyone they could find, but they didn't take all of us. Like you said though, the slaves killed them all. I never heard of this...Alessia though. Maybe the slaves weren't all connected? Black Marsh is close to Cyrodiil, but Thorantilth always said that, it many ways, the Marsh is very far apart from everything. Very...separate. Who was Alessia? You said she was a Queen; did she take over the Ayleids?" She asked, now finding some interest in tales from the past. 

"Kind of. He has been sleeping on and off." Ahnasha answered Fendros. She held Rhazii close to her chest so he could feel her familiar heartbeat, then positioned his head in a way that he couldn't see the crowd around him. For a cub at such a young age, being unable to see something frightening was as good as it not being there. He stopped crying, but as he could still hear all the movement around him, he was still quite stressed. "I think it will be quite a long time before he is on any sort of schedule."

It was not long before Meesei returned from speaking to the guard. She did her best not to disturb the now-quiet Rhazii as she approached, though she supposed the noise from the crowd was disturbing him all the same. "The guard pointed out a few inns and taverns, but unfortunately, we won't be able to stay at the best of them. We do not have a great deal of gold right now. He said there is a cheap inn down that road nearby to your left, but it is not a...safe area. The quality of the inn does not bother me, just...be aware of any dangers."
