When Ariel asked about nomadic Argonian villages, Meesei nodded, having found a topic she knew quite a lot about. "I admit, you know much more of the merchant's trade than myself, but I can say that nomadic villages will trade with cities, at least some of them. Of course, customs vary from village to village, but in my village, we sent envoys to trade with the cities we passed once every few months. Pretty much every village can produce everything they need themselves, but those who are not isolationist will often trade our excess supplies for useful items we cannot produce. One thing you should know, however, is that many villages do not like to trade in gold. Some will, but most would rather barter directly for useful items. I would recommend making sure you have some physical good to trade them. As for getting into contact with them in the first place, that may be more difficult. In my village, we only traded with a few select merchants in each city. You would need to set yourself apart from other merchants in order for them to want to trade with you. I doubt they would ever really trust you, but they would do business with you."
"Excellent. The total for all of you will be twenty gold. I will get started right away." Rukeewei said before leaving to set up his cooking pots.

Since they had some time to wait before they could eat, Meesei figured it would be a good time to get a sense of what everyone else would be doing that day, even if Lorag and Ahnasha had not yet arrived. There were meant to be various competitions that day in which anyone could participate, although she was not sure exactly how one would enter. Meesei was still undecided on whether she wanted to actually enter anything or not, but she definitely was going to accompany Ariel to her meeting, if at all possible. She wanted to see for herself if Ariel could get the loan she needed, and help in any way she could.

"So, Ariel, you have your meeting with the An-Xileel today, correct? If you get the loan you are looking for, do you have any ideas on how you are going to get a supplier for your alchemical ingredients? That is the biggest unknown I see right now, and I think it is definitely something to think about." Meesei asked. There was no way Ariel would be able to gather all the ingredients herself, both because it would be too time intensive of a task, and due to the danger of the marsh. Many plants and animals that lived in Morrowind also lived in northern Black Marsh, so she wouldn't be completely out of her element in terms of ingredients, but there were also ingredients that were found only in the marsh that she would need to get used to.
Had the door not creaked when she entered, Lorag likely would not have noticed Runt entered. Although his face did not show it, he was excited to see her. He gladly accepted the potion and downed it almost immediately. "Thanks Runt." He said simply, letting out a sigh of relief.

Rukeewei greeted Ariel as she sat down at the table, then nodded to Janius. "Alright, guar chops for you. For you Ariel, I can make another batch of stew and substitute in saltrice instead of slaughterfish meat, if that sounds appealing to you?" He said before turning to Fendros. "Both wamasu eggs and meat are safe for non-Argonians, but as a fair warning, it is expensive. The eggs are rather difficult to obtain, so one will cost thirty gold, if you still want it. As for the rest of the meal, the total so far is twelve gold."

Meesei gave Fendros a bit of a stern look. She had killed wamasu before and had tasted of their eggs. While she was quite fond of them and could definitely understand why they would be expensive, she really did not wish to spend that much on their breakfast.
Lorag groaned once more when Ariel spoke to him. Noticing that Runt wasn't in her bed, he got up and sat himself down on it to get out of the sun. "Ah, I need one of those potion things Runt makes, and some water, and...a blindfold or something."

Meesei dressed herself and headed downstairs to join the others. The main room was more crowded than it had been since they arrived, though it would most likely empty once the patrons returned to the festivities. Rukeewei was once again behind the bar serving his customers. Meesei took a seat at the table with the others, which was quiet until Fendros asked about breakfast.

"I am still not greatly familiar with customs here. Is it uncommon for inns to serve meat?" Meesei asked. Meanwhile, Rukeewei was quite proactive when he heard the table mention wanting breakfast. As soon as he served one of his other customers, he approached their table with his usual friendly smile. "Good morning everyone. If you are interested in breakfast, I can serve you here if you do not wish to have your breakfast at the festival. I may not have the same kind of selection, but most vendors elevate their prices during the festival. My prices on food are the same as they always are, at least for local foods. I have had to increase my price on anything imported, due to the increased cost of buying them."

Meesei returned Rukeewei's smile. "Good morning. Do you happen to serve meat at your inn?"

Rukeewei nodded. "Of course, I have a fair local selection, it will just take a bit of time to prepare. Guar chops, slaughterfish stew, histcarp, opah fish, crocodile tail, and hackwing legs are all inexpensive options. If you are looking for more expensive local meats, I do have shark fillets, and, true to my inn's name, I am quite good at preparing wamasu eggs."

"Hmm, I would like a bowl of slaughterfish stew." Meesei responded almost immediately. She did not put too much thought into her choice; she simply wanted something cheap, and it had been quite a long time since she had eaten any sort of stew.

"Right away. Would anyone else like to have something?" Rukeewei asked, turning his attention to the others.
Ssarak Dyreackthanose
Ssarak walked over and grabbed his vest from beside his bed. "If I had any plans, yesterday cancelled them. I do not believe I could, in good conscious, do nothing while the college could use my help. If you are going to help with repairs, then I will be right there with you. I am sure there are plenty of roles we can fill, though...I am fairly certain I know what kind of task they will have me performing. When you look like I do, there is really not much mystery in what others expect you to be capable of."

As much as Ssarak wished he could keep a joking mood, there were other worries he had that he was sure Meirin shared. In the aftermath of the attack, there was still much they did not know, and a few questions Ssarak desperately wanted answers to. "I would also like to stop by the infirmary later, after it has calmed down enough that we will not be disrupting them with our presence. I want to know how many of my friends survived, and how many are injured. With all the chaos yesterday caused, I fear it might be days before we know for sure who did not make it."
"Don't worry Janius, I wouldn't think about doing anything else. You all are everything I need. If I were to die tomorrow, I would be satisfied with my life." Meesei said before returning to her meditation. After an hour or so, she finally laid down herself.

The next morning, everyone seemed to awaken at around the same time, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, apart from Ahnasha. Even after Fendros had awoken, she was still fast asleep, and showed no indication of awaking on her own any time soon. Even with the light from the window shining directly in her eyes, she was sleeping like a kitten. Lorag, on the other hand, awoke almost immediately once the light touched him, but he wished he hadn't. He had a rather terrible hangover and, as a result, simply sat on the ground groaning and covering his eyes.

Meesei awoke normally. She stretched her muscles, then stood up and started to walk around the room to wake herself up. For the first time in quite a while, she did not really know what she should do that day. Living in the wilds, there was always at least some work to be done, but now, there wasn't really anything that anyone in the pack had to do. Ariel needed to go to her appointment, but beyond that, they could simply do whatever they wanted, or nothing, if they chose. When Janius started to stir, she looked over to him. "Good morning." She said in a friendly tone.
Ssarak Dyreackthanose
Ssarak was glad to hear Meirin's voice, even if she did seem surprised to hear him at first. From her tone, it seemed like she was in good health...or at least acceptable health. His joints popped and ached as he stood, which was both relieving and concerning at the same time. He had not gotten dressed yet, but he was still wearing his leather trousers, so Meirin did not have any unpleasant surprises when she approached the hole in the wall. He approached the hole as well and examined the damage to the stonework.

"Well, my entire body feels sore, my scales are bruised, and my joints feel like those of a one hundred-eighty year old man, but I am alive, and I will recover. I believe that potion mended my fractured rib. As for this hole, we can ask the next geomancer we see. I doubt it will be a priority for them, but I am sure they will get to it eventually. Until then...I suppose we are roommates. Hopefully, it turns out better than the last time I attempted to be Aruna's roommate." Ssarak said with a chuckle. When Meirin asked if he had seen anything, he cocked his head to the side and looked at her curiously. "See what?" He asked.
I'm not sure. I think it might get boring to do all of those things, but we should definitely do some. Maybe one or two things on each day? In addition to the meeting between Ariel and the An-Xileel. She also needs to get a supplier for her shop.

Also, I'm going to be responding in another RP real quick.
I was thinking about it. Also, how do you want to go about the next few days in RP? I doubt it would be a good idea to RP them all, so which days should we skip, and when?
I've been thinking of ideas on different kinds of magic that would be cool for Meesei to know, with lightning and nature based magic particularly. There is one ability in ESO called bolt escape that envelopes the caster in lightning, then teleports them through the air a few meters away, electrocuting anyone they pass through. I've also had ideas on ritual based magic. Spells that could take hours, or even days to perform, but for a much greater effect. They might require special enchanted items or soul gems to pull off.
