Meesei shook her head with a sullen expression. "Unfortunately no, we may interact with others outside the pack on occasion, but it is rare, and usually does not last long. I believe you are the person who has been in contact with us for the longest continuous time since this pack was formed. Even if we were around others outside the pack, I don't think she would talk to them. I believe Sabine is a mature young woman, though. She has been strong to endure all that she had been through. Despite her age, she has been a productive member of the pack for as long as she has been with us. I know none of us are near her age, but we are closer than friends. I would fight for her, and die for her, as if she were my own daughter."
Meesei gave a light smile as she glanced off towards the campfire. She had to admit, she had originally been skeptical of how useful Sabine would be, but HIrcine had not misguided her. She was glad to be wrong, and even if Sabine barely opened up even to her, she hoped she would be able to help her. "And also keep in mind, I do not expect that this pack will remain just the six...uh, seven of us forever." Meesei said, looking at Ahnasha's stomach upon her correction. "I expect it will grow as our needs grow, and as we find more worthy individuals to bring into our family. I cannot, however, say how long that will take, or who may join; that is only for Hircine to know."

Had we succeeded the first time, it wouldn't have taken that long, but that was a hard dungeon.
And it might have been only four hours.
And it might have been only four hours.
Nice timing. I just finished a six hour long dungeon in ESO. I need to eat, then I'll respond.
"Hmm, it was the opposite for me. My parents were always expecting me to take care of myself, so I became rather self-sufficient, but joining the pack brought me into a tight-knit family which always takes care of one another." Ahnasha commented. "Well, I hope you have luck in finding someone for yourself. Maybe you should get to know Earondil? I doubt he would be interested in a relationship with anyone, but he is a nice person, and he might have nice friends." She suggested with a smile.
"Anyway, as for how long I've been a lycan, I turned somewhere around five years ago, when I was seventeen. I had been worshiping Hircine for years before that, and after proving my prowess to him, he led me to Meesei, who gave me the gift. Before that, I was the daughter of a pair of merchants in Leyawiin. It was a boring life, and I wouldn't recommend it. I don't see how you don't go insane with boredom doing the same thing day in and day out in Vos." Ahnasha answered. It seemed like Ariel's life had taken an opposite turn from her own, as she had been born into a coven dedicated to the study of magic, alchemy, and Hircine knows what else, then left it for a life as a merchant in a city.
Lorag grunted, finally paying attention to the conversation. "Heh, I turned when I was seventeen too, except that was a lot longer ago. Fifteen years ago, actually. I was in the Legion in Skyrim during their civil war. My patrol got ambushed by a pack of lycans. I killed one, but it got me pretty good and ended up turning me. I ended up spending nine years trying to figure everything out before Alpha found me."
Meesei spoke up next. Ariel had been learning quite a bit about them, and lycans in general, and she was curious on what her opinion of them would be by the end of their time together. "I myself have been a lycan for nine years. I turned to Hircine after the hunters in my village began facing trouble, and I have remained in his service since then. I accepted the gift from one of his hounds, then moved to Cyrodiil to start this pack."

I think I need to go to bed now. Goodnight.
"Hmm, maybe we can figure that out while we're there? I'm not sure if they would write down the specifics of their dealings with Daedra anywhere, but it is a possibility, I suppose. The magic you describe does sound interesting. Even without the magic that involves ripping out hearts, any kind of magic that comes directly from gods or Daedra can be powerful, and unique...not to mention dangerous. I'm not entirely sure what a hagraven is, other than that it is some kind of powerful bird-person, but if they are willing to transform themselves irreversibly like that, then they must be powerful. I think Meesei here would probably question you on it for three days straight if you let her." Ahnasha commented with a smile.
"One thing that has me curious is why your hagravens always select girls to bring into the coven. It seems like a strange criteria from which to base their selections; men would be just as capable of your magic, I'm assuming. Are there even any males in the coven? If not, I imagine that would be a strange way to grow up, and would probably be even stranger transitioning from that life, to life in Vos." Ahnasha asked curiously.

"I swear, you call me an elf one more time..." Lorag muttered quietly, not actually intending to do anything. For once, he didn't quite know how to respond and mostly just wanted the conversation to shift away from himself.
Ahnasha yawned as Sabine left. She was rather tired, but did not quite want to leave yet, as she still wished to talk to Ariel a bit more about her. "So Ariel, I know you are an alchemist and a mage, but what kind of magic exactly is it that you practice? If Meesei has taught me anything, it is that isolated groups like the coven which raised you can know unique forms of magic that is unknown to most organizations. Breton wild mages have a certain reputation for the kinds of strange magic and rituals they perform. Turning people into birds, ripping out people's hearts and replacing them with some kind of magic plant. It seems like they have a lot of esoteric knowledge. Breton witches also always seem to be associated with lycanthropy and vampirism to some extent, though...it does seem a bit strange to me that there is a coven of witches like that so far from HIgh Rock. How did a coven like that end up in Morrowind, or are there a lot more than just Bretons there?"

"Huh, what?" Lorag responded with a bit of confusion, his eyes moving up from gazing at the water to looking at the other. "Yeah, uh, no, uh...I wasn't listening. Something about eggs or sap or something?" He began, his mind having been to distracted by relaxation for him to actually pay attention to what everyone else was saying. He straightened himself up and tried to take on a more serious demeanor so as not to look like an old lady at a spa, or something of that nature. He was unnecessarily self-conscious about how much he was enjoying this pool.
"So, um, these pools. Where can you find these things other than Varden, Vvara, Vaden..."
"Vvardenfell." Ahnasha interrupted.
"Yeah, right, that. Where else are these things? They, uh, they clean better. Warm water and everything." He asked in a forced casual tone.
Meesei stifled a laugh." They're often found in volcanically active areas. You can find them all over Morrowind, I believe. Not so much in Black Marsh, unfortunately. The water there is often warm, but nothing like this. You are enjoying yourself, aren't you. I hear for Humans and Elves, baths like these are really good for your skin." She said with an amused smile.
"Hey, don't look at me like I'm some dainty High Elf or Bosmer. I don't need any kind of pampering or skin treatment or whatever. It's just...more efficient." He responded defensively.
"Don't worry, I believe you completely." Meesei said with somewhat of a smug grin. In all seriousness, it was nice to see Lorag enjoying himself with something that did not involve inebriation or drawing blood. Or both.

Hey Frettzo, do you happen to have the time to post in the collab with Dirssi and Haklo?
Meesei held up her hand, as if to stop Ariel. "No need to apologize. As I said, I am happy to answer. From what I have heard, laying an egg is much less...painful than how other races handle it."
"Lucky." Ahnasha muttered, shifting herself slightly to become more comfortable.
Meesei chuckled briefly, then continued. "Fertilized eggs are placed under Hist trees in order to allow the sap to pool around them. Some say the sap becomes their blood, but that is more metaphorical than anything. They can hatch without the sap as well. As for caring for them, it is really just a matter of keeping them protected, at least in Black Marsh. We are well-adapted to our homeland, so our eggs are fairly hardy. They thrive in the marsh's heat and humidity. I cannot say for certain, but I would assume that eggs in colder climates would require more care and maintenance. The gestation time is about the same as Khajiit, around seven months. After hatching, we raise them in the same way you do for your hatchl...children. The biggest difference is primarily cultural, which is that our hatchlings are not named until their naming day ceremony, which involves licking the sap of a Hist tree."
