Peiter's heart pounded, and though only a few seconds passed, his mind raced with thought as she stood up. As nervous as he was about the whole thing, he knew what he felt. And, unless she was crafting an elaborate lie, he thought he had an idea of what Sabine felt as well. When she stood up, he did not let go of her hand. Instead, he quickly stood up as well, and decided to take one more terrifying step. 

"Wait." Peiter began. His eyes darted back and forth nervously for a moment before he finally forced himself to make eye contact. "I do rather like that...interesting offer, but..." He began, clasping his hands around hers and standing within inches of her. "Are you sure you don't want to just...skip straight to it?" He tried to stay confident in his tone, but the sweat on his brow told another story.

Colors gave a laugh. "Oh yes, the dreugh rarely target ships. A decent-sized vessel is big enough to just scare them away on sight. No, the creatures you have to worry about on the open sea are [i]much[/i] larger than a dreugh."

Continuing the introductions, Jo'rashaad spoke up next. "This one's wife is S'ajira. She was born into the clan, and has been a part of it her entire life. She is a respected defender of our clan. Were she able to speak for herself, she would likely be in a leadership position by now." He said. As he spoke, S'ajira sat down beside him and lightly rubbed her head against his shoulder. 

"As for Jo'rashaad himself, he is from Torval. The capital is home to a few organizations of magical learning, formed from the remnants of the old Mages' Guild, one of which this one was a member. Of course, there is much political trouble between them, but not to the extent of the Synod and College of Whispers. We engaged in [i]actual[/i] magical research. Jo'rashaad was on the way to an excavation of an Ayleid ruin near the border to Cyrodiil when he was turned. This one was...disappointed to leave behind a life of magical learning, but the magical nature of lycans themselves is something of interest." Jo'rashaad explained.
