Lorag took another drink. "Sujamma's a taste I acquired long ago. A lot of Dunmer in Cheydinhal. It's made from sujamma berries I think; they had to import those. I got a taste for a lot of Dunmer spirits, really. Greef, mazte, shien, they're all great. I know the ingredients for about all of them, I just wish I understood the process enough to make them." Lorag sighed and lowered his head in exaggerated sadness. "It's the only thing I regret in life." When Janius asked about his history with the women of Cheydinhal, he gave a chuckle. "Heh, I can see where your mind is tonight. I was about sixteen or seventeen when I left for Skyrim with the Legion. Before that, I was known around town as a strong, skilled, and handsome young warrior who was doing his duty for the Empire. What do you think happened? I always ended up sticking with Orc women though, but there are also a lot of Orcs in Cheydinhal, so that wasn't a problem. Honestly, I never considered other races as 'possibilities' until well after I left; 'cause of my father, mostly. He wouldn't have liked it." --- Ahnasha rather liked the idea of learning to give a massage as well as Fendros was, though as she glanced down at her claws, she wondered how they would complicate things. Being stabbed by multiple sharp objects was not a pleasurable experience for most people; perhaps there was some sort of other technique she could use. "I'm certainly up for it...after you finish with me, of course. Just...try not to get mad if I accidentally stab you a few times. I wouldn't trade these claws for anything, but...they have their downsides. I'm sure it will be worth it to make you feel as good as I do now. I can only imagine how amazing this will be in a few months when my aches get really bad. I've been pregnant for a month already, so...just about six more months to go before it's time." As Fendros' massage moved higher up her thigh, she looked back at him, meeting his gaze with a grin. "Higher." She commented, allowing her tail to brush up against him once more. The fur on it was thicker near the end than it was at its base, so it would feel rather soft to the touch. --- "Let us go, we have what information we need. Anything more is an unnecessary risk." Meesei whispered in response. Ariel silently agreed, then led them back in the direction of the culvert they entered through. Whatever ritual they were performing caused there to be quite a bit of activity in the keep, but it also served to help distract the witches. Still, it was a slow process to backtrack all the way to the tunnel they entered through. Conserving magicka meant they needed to hide motionless in the shadows several times, only using invisibility when absolutely necessary. Given how sizable the keep was, it was fortunate that Ariel still knew her way around. She had spent most of her childhood in the place, after all, so it would likely be difficult to forget its layout. Meesei was unsure of how much time had passed when they finally made it back to the tunnel leading to the culvert. Meesei used a short spell of disintegration to take down the grate, then reattached it with another fire spell once they were both outside. From this point, Meesei took the lead in guiding them away from the keep towards a nearby hill, just beyond the patrols of the undead sentinels. Meesei stopped and laid down on the ground, peering just over the hill at the keep. The sentinels were patrolling the forest in front of them, so there were plenty to chose from. They just needed to isolate one, then strike quickly so it could not alert the others. "We need to take one of the sentinels aliv-, uh, undead. I am no expert in conjuration, but with a mix of illusion and the conjuration magic I do know, I believe I can take command of one of them so that it follows my orders. I just need time to concentrate on and examine it, which means we need to immobilize one of them. I could paralyze it, but I need to conserve the energy I have. Let's find one that is alone, then you paralyze it. We'll disarm it, drag it somewhere safe, then I can get to work. Alright?" Meesei suggested.
