Meesei could tell Fendros and Ahnasha were becoming more uncomfortable upon the mention of the cult, but she had no intention of forcing either of them to talk about their experiences. She could give all of the explanations herself, if needed. Even if it wasn't necessarily a pleasant topic, she felt that Ariel would want to know about it. 

"It was." Meesei said, nodding affirmatively. "Hircine wished for us to arrange...not so much of an alliance, but a mutual agreement not to attack one another. In that, we were actually successful. When we first received the task, I had a hard time believing we would be able to deal with them peacefully, but they did not directly harm us in any way. They lived up to every agreement they made. Certainly, they were not a...pleasant group, but their leaders were pragmatic. There were two of them, an Argonian woman and her husband, a Dunmer, both of which were vampire lords. Many of their underlings were also vampires, though not all of them. They were all mages, however, mostly necromancers. I would not say they were kind to us, but they were civil, and as I said, they caused us no harm. It was the task they set us on which caused us issued. I do not wish to bring up bad memories in much detail, but we ended up fighting against a mercenary organization serving as vampire hunters. Some of us were harmed in the process, but I do not think it would be best to talk about that. If you have any question about the cult itself, however, I could answer them. Even if they are not a pleasant group, from a scholarly perspective, they were actually quite interesting. I do not know for certain, but I believe their leaders were several eras old. There was quite a lot of history in the xanmeer they called home." Meesei commented. She decided not to focus on the more traumatic aspects of their task, and instead make it seem more like one of the interesting destinations along the pack's journey. Hopefully, it would make Ahnasha and Fendros more comfortable with the conversation.
