Ahnasha was trying to remain unemotional, to not give into the pain that normally came with these memories. It was, understandably, a difficult task, so her response came across as more harsh and uncaring in its tone than she actually felt. "Yes, that's indeed what happened, I think. Probably. I don't like to think about the details. I can still remember the pain like I just felt it if I think about it, which I now am. If that had been the worst of it, there wouldn't have been a problem, but you know it wasn't; you know what happened next." She said, though her thoughts continued. [i]"And now you're going to make me relive it."[/i]

Kaleeth looked around to see if anyone had been listening to them, but she did not actually see anyone paying attention. Some were asleep, others were talking amongst themselves, but no one was looking at them. They had to hear Sabine, but she did not think anyone noticed. If they did, Kaleeth did not notice them. She did not know what else to do at the moment, so she decided to lay down in her hammock, which she was finally able to climb in reliably. She had just woke up not long ago, so she obviously was not tired, but she felt like it would be good to relax for a while. "I think I remember seeing some of those in some of the places we've been. I wonder if they will find me strange in the city? I mean, I find the Imperial traditions strange, so it must be the same for them."

[i]"Okay, now you are just trying too hard."[/i] Meesei said with a chuckle. She did not look at him and instead continued staring out at the shoreline in the distance. It was hard to make out any details with how far away the land was, but with how long they had been traveling, she knew they were still off the coast of Black Marsh. [i]"You see, I am not the average traveler. Really, I am many things. A mage, a scholar, and in a way, a caring mother. Although, honestly, I do not like to label myself, the one most applicable to you is that I am dangerous. I am someone you would be better off avoiding. Not that I wish to harm you, just that you would be better off staying away from me. Besides, you should not be making offers that you cannot live up to, specifically that, with that group over there listening to and translating this conversation, nothing you are saying is secret."[/i]
