Ahnasha shook her head. She still felt that the way she went about leaving her home was the best overall, but it was still somewhat uncomfortable to explain to others. "No, my parents do not know that I became a lycan. Actually, they do not know I am still alive. Knowing how my parents are, I do not believe they would accept what I have become, so I found that it would likely be less painful for them if I faked my death upon leaving. At least then they would have some closure on me. For that reason, I cannot return to Leyawiin. I know any ship we take is inevitably going to have to sail by the city, but as long as I do not have to go inside the walls, I will be fine."

As she moved on to her next answer, Ahnasha tried to make her tone seem a bit more upbeat. "If they did know I was alive, though, I believe they would be excited to hear about their grandson. Although, my brother may already have a child by this point. He did not yet have a mate, but he had feelings for at least one woman in the city, and I know there were a few interested in him. Obviously, neither of them would have a problem with my mate being a Dunmer, but I think they might take some objection to the fact that we have not had any official wedding ceremony. Both of them are devout followers of the Eight, and they follow Imperial cultural norms fairly closely. I know many in the pack find such ceremonies unnecessary, though I do not have a problem with them, really. I think they can be a...romantic endeavor, but mandatory as my parents would say.. What about you? I know you said you did not know your parents, but would the ones who raised you have an issue with your Argonian mate?"

"I...am not sure." Kaleeth answered, running her fingers across the surface of the shell. "The clams we found sometimes had this smooth, shiny stone in the middle. Is that a pearl? I don't know the Cyrodilic word for that stone."

After examining it for a few more moments, Kaleeth handed back the shell and looked out over the expanse of the ocean, wondering if it held anything even more spectacular. With how unknowably massive it was, that had to be the case. "I wish you could breathe water like me. I would love to search around for more interesting things under the surface with you, but you can only stay under for such a short time. Is there any kind of magic that can help you stay underwater for longer?"
