Even though Kaleeth knew that learning about the clan was simply a cover, she was surprised at how convincing Vera seemed to be. She almost believed Vera was being genuine. Although she did not necessarily [i]need[/i] to remember everything Vera was saying, she decided to pay attention anyway. Not only would it make it easier for her to act believable, but it probably would be helpful to know more about the clan anyway. They did not know who the murderer was, and there was really no telling what knowledge would be useful, so she reasoned that it could not hurt to learn as much as she could.

"So everyone helps out with everything? It was the same way in my village, and it makes more sense to me than what they do in Imperial cities. We all had our own roles, but we helped anyone who needed it. Elders didn't have to, but most did something to help if their bodies let them. Though, if lycans come here from places like cities...is it hard to get new lycans to live this way?" Kaleeth asked, genuinely curious. She had been through the jarring experience of seeing how Imperials live after coming from her village, but she wondered if the reverse would be just as difficult.

Meesei returned Carana's greeting with a polite nod and a greeting of her own. "Yes, actually." She began with a friendly smile. As they were waiting, Meesei had thought about a way they might approach this. Her pack had arrived only the previous day with plenty of belongings of their own, so it was entirely possible to simply imply that they already had the poison before arriving. She did not want to lie directly and say that, of course, but with the right attitude and wording, she could strongly imply that was the case to the point that they might not question it. "We have something that Sabine has been wanting to test to learn more about it. It is a finished concoction, and from my understanding, it has been proving...stubborn. Do you think you could provide some assistance?"

Lorag gave a grunt. "Hmph, whatever." He commented just before Harriet called the attention of one of her pack. He looked like a reasonably trained fighter, but he didn't want to judge before seeing him in action. There was a time that Lorag believed he could easily size anyone up just by looking at them, but that was before he met Meesei. She did not exactly look defenseless at a glance, as most lycans naturally had a stronger physique than normal, but she did not look intimidating either, at least not by pure appearances. 

Lorag chuckled for a moment after Harriet's question. "That city boy? I'd love to see him get knocked down a peg or two, but he's got some training. He was Fighter's Guild before he turned, and he's picked up Legion training from me. We've all been through some rough fights. Anyway, how 'bout you show me what he can do?"
