Kaleeth was sitting on her bed, not quite in as bad of a state as the day before, but nevertheless distressed. She had expected Janius to follow, so she wasn't going to run out of the room this time. "I understand, but...it was just frustrating. I think my beast spirit made it worse. I know I do not [i]always[/i] have to be bad at fighting. I mean, anyone can get better with practice. I am just afraid of how long it will take. I know how to use my spear and dagger, but I mostly only ever used them on animals, and I don't think any of you know how to teach me to fight people with a spear. And it would take so much training for me to become good with a sword. With this war, I am going to die before I can learn."

"Look, I know it sounds bad, but..." Ahnasha began, placing her hand on Fendros' shoulder to try and placate him. "...but I think it is worth it. I mean, it isn't like we have to use the souls of innocents or anything. We come across bandits from time to time; we can take their souls. Or maybe take some souls from Vile's followers. Whatever we do, this is too good of an opportunity to pass up."

Ahnasha noticed that Orskan seemed to be waiting for them to finish their talk, so she gave Fendros a reassuring nod and walked with him back to the Argonian. "We are definitely interested in this tome. What would it take to acquire it?" She asked, trying to ignore Vinaremo's judging gaze. He crossed his arms and gave a quick glance to his Altmer friend before responding. "Well, I am willing to trade, but I still need to come up with an appropriate price. Gold has little value to me, and I would prefer something more useful anyways. You cannot leave this place until the Master gives you a task anyway, so I will take the next few days to come up with an idea. I will make sure to find you when I do. Now, I have an experiment I need to check on. Good luck with your sparring." Orskan explained before taking his leave.

Ahnasha and Fendros quickly left Vinaremo to return to their former sparring area. Ahnasha seemed almost excited, despite the noncommittal answer from Orskan. "Hopefully, his price won't be anything too unreasonable, because this has the potential to be great. Just think, if this works out, we could be together for centuries, instead of decades." She commented, wrapping her arms around him as she pulled him in for a hug.
