Meesei turned around to face Gallus, leaning against the window in such a way as to allow the windowsill to support part of her weight. She seemed to be surprised at his response, though it was a pleasant surprise. "That is a noble goal...if a lofty one. Lycans do have a sordid history in Tamriel, and its citizens have had good reason to fear us. Many times that people get infected, they go feral and kill those around them. If they do survive, there is no guarantee they will find a clan, or even a pack. We search for all we can, but we are not perfect. Given how Tamriel's lycan population has exploded over the past few years, the average person has been hearing more and more about us, since there are more ferals out there killing them. And then, there are the lycan groups who do not serve Hircine, and the ones who are more than willing to prey on the innocent regularly."

Letting out another sigh, Meesei walked back over to her bed and sat down on its edge, near to Gallus. "I believe I would love for the same thing to happen. I certainly would. Imagine if we could live among Tamriel's citizens? Imagine if lycans with enough control could be allowed to live in the cities, freely and openly. It would be a boon to the city-dwellers as well as us. Our lycan forms could be useful in more than just hunting. There are some...small groups in Tamriel who do just that, actually. Well, their identities as lycans are not known, but they have lived among civilization for long before this war. Members of the other clans have informed me of them. A township in High Rock, a private guild of mages in Valenwood, the Companions in Skyrim. There are groups of lycans who have found places among civilization, but most of them do not serve Hircine as we do. I fear that lycanthropes will always be destined to be both predator and prey. It is part of our nature."

"La'khay wishes she could be of more help, but she doesn't want to tell you something that would turn out to be wrong." La'khay responded. Putting on a smile, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, then stood up and pulled up Tzirret with her. 

"Whatever you choose to do, La'khay is glad you are trying. You have gotten so much more confident since this one met you. Even if what you want doesn't happen, just remember that La'khay is proud of you. Now since we've been laying here a while...La'khay could show you a few last things before you go. Or, we could just head back, if you don't think that would be a good idea." She offered.
