Ciinriel and La'khay had their seats with the rest of their pride, near Ri'kalesh, but they were still close enough to be able to talk to Sabine. La'khay tapped a finger to her chin in thought as she figured out how to word her answer. "Oh, La'khay loves La'tahne greatly. But neither of us have wanted to be mates like you would think of them. We will be together until our deaths, but not...exclusively together. We do not wish to keep our love to ourselves, you understand. And we do so enjoy mating with anyone who wants to share in our love."

Meanwhile, Meesei was taking some time to greet several of the other clan alphas, or their representatives. Most of Tamriel's clans had sent at least someone to attend, often more, which made for quite a crowded  and diverse table. It seemed like pretty much every cultural group in Tamriel was represented by someone among them. There were some that likely would have been at odds with one another, or at least in [i]more[/i] conflict, were it not for their lycanthropy to unite them.
