Ahnasha smiled, taking up her drink in her hand. "Yeah, that is part of why we came early. I didn't want everything to be rushed and frantic. It would be nice if our visits could be [i]exclusively[/i] positive events. And maybe this won't be so bad. It's not like my parents are bad people or anything." 

Meesei had been allowing the others to have their conversation, but Fendros' suggestion had her raising up her mug a bit more enthusiastically than Ahnasha. "I am happy with the idea. I certainly would not mind a few more drinks. It has been a long time since I have had this kind of company outside of my pack. Well...a week or two, at least."

Ahnasha laughed briefly before returning her attention to Fendros' siblings. "At any rate, how have you two been faring? Have there been any interesting developments for either of you?"

Lorag simply gave a single nod. "Good. Guess that's it then. I'll have her back here at some point. After she's had her fill of the place. Come on, girl, and stay close. I might be gettin' older, but I promise that runnin' off ain't gonna work on me." 

Lorag did not give Harriet any more time or attention. It was no question that neither of them wanted to be around each other, so he had no reason to stay around for any longer than his business required. Narsi's feelings on the matter were, at the moment, also irrelevant to him. It would probably take a while for him to even figure out what kind of stories Harriet had been filling her head with, but he felt like starting on that right away. "So, girl, what's Harriet's version of all this that she told you? I've just got to hear that." He asked in a rather demanding tone once they were halfway down the path to the main road.
