Inwardly, Meesei wanted to thank Hircine that Sabine was already somewhat familiar with the topic. She was not particularly keen on going into detail. Regardless, Meesei could not see a way that Sabine's views on the subject could not have been warped strangely by her experiences. She did not know what precisely the coven had taught her, but she had certainly not received a normal upbringing. As well, the examples of relationships within the pack were not exactly ideal. Both Ahnasha and Fendros, as well as Kaleeth and Janius seemed to be happy together, but none of them formed their relationships under normal circumstances. Usually, romances formed in such a manner did not last, but Sabine had seen no other examples, except her sister and Rukeewei. However, she had not been witness to how Ariel's relationship had formed. 

"She is not incorrect, but that is not the most important part of the issue. It is more complicated than you might know. Not mating itself, but...the meaning behind it, in the context of a relationship. What is it that the coven taught you?" Meesei asked.

"My armor, obviously." Lorag said as he was hammering out a dent in the relatively malleable iron. It was obviously just smalltalk before Janius got to his actual point, though his next question did surprise him.

"Um, he was a Legion veteran, worked a forge." Lorag answered questioningly. He hadn't the faintest idea why Janius had suddenly sought him out to ask about his father of all things. He had a feeling that the Imperial was beating around the bush to get to some bigger question or favor or something, which was at least marginally annoying. He much preferred getting straight to the point. "He was retired, so he didn't fight much, but he was a tough old Orc, and tough on me. He helped my mother drill me into shape in time to join the Legion myself. Now, I don't think you came all the way over here for story time, so what do you want, city-boy?"
