Ah, good to see more activity. I will post as soon as I can.
The next morning, the pack was awoken by the activity of the villagers around them. They awoke just as the sun was rising to begin their day, which began with a communal breakfast, much like the dinner the night before. Ahnasha was particularly groggy, but the pack got up more or less without protest and joined in the breakfast. Despite having only awoken a few minutes beforehand, Kaleeth seemed lively and full of energy. She was in a spectacularly excited mood, to the point that she was helping Janius prepare his breakfast just so they could get to their hunt more quickly.
Once outside, their breakfast proceeded essentially like the previous dinner. They conversed about their plans or the village in general. Kaleeth mostly spoke to Janius, sticking to the topic of the hunt. She asked him about what he knew about hunting in the marsh, while she explained the specifics of some of the creatures they could potentially kill. After they finished their meals, Kaleeth looked back at the common hut, then to Janius. "I think it is time to get our weapons and...supplies so we can get going. I am very grateful you are helping me, especially since no one is making you." She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and gave him a hug. "Thanksss you."
Meanwhile, Treeminder Thorantilth approached the group, having just finished the morning rituals involved with caring for the Hist tree. Even with the trials and Sabine's ritual, he still had other duties he could not ignore. Tunxeek was with him, though he was silent as his father spoke. "Good morning." He said politely to the group before focusing on Sabine and Meesei. "Our preparations are ready for your second trial. We can begin any time, however, for this test, it would be best that you not be fatigued in the slightest before starting. If you need a few moments to wake up before we begin, I understand."

I probably won't quite get to it in my next post. It's 3 AM, so I'll need to make this one brief.
I had actually planned to use the Treeminder's apprentice for something in the second trial when I was planning it, so I'll need to use Tunxeek for something. I won't need to give him any dialogue or anything, I'll just need to use him for something.
If you have nothing else for the conversation between Sabine and Tunxeek, then we can wrap it up.
Kaleeth shook her head. "No, I not...I do not think anyone I know will be coming. Living in the village is hard work, many are busy. I only have time because I am preparing for the wamasu hunt and...this is preparation. I am sure you can give much help, even alone."
Ahnasha was the first to finish her meal, as usual, but she didn't quite feel like heading to bed yet. She probably would in a few minutes, given her normal energy level, but not at the moment. A question formed in her mind as Kaleeth spoke, so she decided to satisfy her curiosity. "So Kaleeth, you said you have to hunt a wamasu, right? I have heard them mentioned a few times since we arrived in Black Marsh, but I can't say I really know what they are. Do you think you could give a good description?"
Kaleeth still had to listen closely to comprehend what she asked, and Ahnasha wasn't accustomed to speaking as slowly as Kaleeth was used to. Nevertheless, she understood her question and thought for a moment on the answer; mostly with how to phrase it. "Well...they are big, very big. Their body is like a crocodile, but...giant. Their scales are like armor, and it is real hard to cut through them. They have few...week-ness-es. They have giant mouths that bite people in half in one bite, they are big enough to crush you with just their tail. But, they are...not fast. It is dangerous, but a group can hunt them. Also, they can shoot lightning from their mouths."
Ahnasha couldn't help but to give a slight chuckle. Even if what she described sounded fiercely deadly, it sounded like something she would want to kill one day. A fearsome beast like that would be worthy prey, and a true test of her own skills, and those of the pack. "And you intend to hunt one? It seems like there would be easier prey out there than one of those beasts to feed everyone. Why do you want to kill one, if they are so dangerous?"
"It is test...a test. The last test before I am a full hunter, and not an app...apprentice. All hunter, what is the word...initiates have to be a part of a wamasu hunt, then make our armor from its scales. The armor is tough, almost like metal, but much lighter, like leather. That is why it is...tradition for us to wear it." Kaleeth explained.
"Hmm, leather armor as tough as steel? That actually sounds pretty...tempting." Ahnasha commented, glancing to the others. Even if she couldn't hunt at the moment, it wouldn't always be that way. If those scales were as tough as Kaleeth was describing, then it would create a good reason for Ahnasha to start wearing armor.

I was a bit delayed, but I'm back. Trying to think of how to respond.
"I know what sssarcasm is, it's just...the tones are not easy. Your voices, the way you show...emotion, it is so different from us. It is not easy to understand." Kaleeth commented. She seemed moderately annoyed by Janius' assumption, though that quickly dispersed as she continued with her meal and listened with interest at Meesei's answer.
Given how long she had known him, Meesei was no more believing of Janius than Lorag, though she said nothing about it. She had to admit that she wouldn't mind going on a hunt, if that was what Janius was offering, but she had other obligations with Sabine's trials. "I will be providing support and guidance for Sabine through her trial tomorrow morning. I may not be able to do anything during the trial itself, but I feel my place is going to be there with Sabine. I am afraid I will not be able to join you."
"I don't think I will be either." Ahnasha added. "I just haven't had the energy for anything like that recently. Until my child is born, I doubt I will again. Honestly, I think I'll just take tomorrow keeping our supplies organized, relaxing, maybe practicing my painting." She chuckled and glanced to Fendros beside her. "Maybe I can use you as a model this time?"
Lorag spoke up as well between mouthfulls of his meal. "Oh, don't worry, I'll be leaving you two alone tomorrow."

I'm fine, personally.
"Riiight." Lorag responded sarcastically to Janius, clearly unconvinced. Kaleeth, on the other hand, found herself rather confused by the exchange between the two. Janius' response didn't make any sense with what Lorag said, at least not to her. She figured there must be something lost in translation that she did not understand.
"What is nothing like what? I...am not really sure I understand." Kaleeth asked, Before anyone could answer, however, Fendros asked a question she actually understood. The ability to speak Cyrodilic was especially rare in the village, so it made sense why he would ask. "Oh, I learn from many in our village. Or...as many as know. Not many here know the Imperial language, so most who can have helped me learn. Reanaseer, Zharanthixil, Thorantilth, they all help me learn to talk it. They...are all great at teaching."
With a bit of curiosity of her own, Kaleeth looked around at the outsiders with a question in her mind, which she eventually asked in Jel. "Meesei said she has been attempting to teach you our language as well. How familiar are the rest of you with Jel?"
