I'm pretty much waiting for anyone at this point.
I think I am going to put a bit of a timeskip in my next post.
Kaleeth was starting to become coordinated enough with the dance that she could speak at the same time without risking tripping over herself, or Janius. It was growing more complicated, but at least there was a pattern to the steps. "So...a city is like a lot of little villages all working as one big village? If someone doesn't have a family though, it sounds like they would be alone. That sounds like it would be terrible, especially with no one else to help them. I think it would be nice to see a city, but I would never want to live there."

The longer they practiced it, the more comfortable Kaleeth became with the dance, though she still misstepped frequently. Janius did not seem to mind how many times she stepped on his toes, though. Depending on the outcome of her excursion into the marsh, this could very well be one of their last moments together, so she wanted to enjoy it. "It is good to know that you enjoy the life in your pack. From what you said, you did not choose to go with them at first, you had to become a werewolf. It would be bad if you were stuck in a life you did not like. I am wondering, if after I get back from the marsh I decide that...leaving would be best, do you...do you think the pack would be enough for me too? Do you think your friends would like me being there?"
It has been a few days with no activity, so I'll post as soon as I can in the morning.
might be delayed in my response.
Kaleeth was not sure what to think at first, but she went along with Janius' lead. Dancing was at least something she was familiar with, but not any sort of dance like this. The movements seemed strange, and structured. She had no issue moving in the water, though Janius was a bit sluggish because of it. Her sluggishness came from the fact that she had never performed a dance with defined steps, so she was completely following Janius' lead. She was sure she was probably doing something wrong, but nevertheless, she enjoyed it. The dance held a sort of aesthetic beauty to it, even if she was doing it wrong. After a while of dancing, she nearly tripped on Janius' foot and held tightly onto him to keep herself from falling.

"I have not seen a dance like this before. All the things you describe about that city are so strange; I'm not sure I understand them all. You say people keep more things than they need, but don't do anything else? Why would everyone else give them those things if they don't use them for anything? These cities must have a lot of food and clothes and other things if they can give one person so much. It seems like some people would starve if they did not. I don't know what a fork is and why they want to hold it a certain way. Still, this dance looks very pretty. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong though." Kaleeth commented, still holding him close.
"It sounds like you have had a lot of teachers, though they don't all sound nice." Kaleeth commented. After a while of jumping, Leaps finally managed to catch one of the fleshflies in his mouth. He immediately swam over to the shore triumphantly and swallow its meal, only to jump back in and repeat the process countless more times.

"My father was a great teacher for me and egg-brother. He wanted both of us to be safe, so he was very patient to teach us. Even if it took me a very long time to learn what he was teaching, he never gave up. After losing egg-brother...I think he will be angry to hear that I am thinking about leaving. He would have no children here anymore." She explained, though she did not much want to stay on the topic, as it made her nervous just to think about it. "Anyway, even if they were not all nice to you, it does sound like you had a lot of people to learn from. There are some things I don't understand though. What is...rich man?" She asked curiously. Coming from a society that shared all vital resources among the community, the concept of wealth was one that was completely foreign to her.
As Janius sat down in the water beside her, Kaleeth moved closer to him. She sat in his lap with her arm around his neck and her head resting on his chest. She could not deny that the Hunt she was planning to go on would be at least a bit dangerous, since she would be going out into the marsh alone. It made her nervous, but it wasn't as if she had not been hunting alone before. It was a risk she was used to, though she was not quite used to killing something and sacrificing it to a Daedra. Hopefully, communing with the Hist would also help to calm her down.

"Hmm, well I guess I have had two teachers mostly, father and Thorantilth. I mean, other people have taught me other things, but they taught me the most. Father has always been a good teacher for fighting, tracking, and anything else needed for hunting. Training was the only time he ever raised his voice at me, and it was for good reasons. If I didn't learn, I would die in the marsh. The Treeminder taught me, and all the other hatchlings, about the Hist and our traditions. He taught us history, told us stories, and all kinds of other things. What about you, did you ever have teachers? I don't know much about that city you said you grew up in. I have never seen a city before, actually. All I know about them is that they do not move like our village, for some reason. It seems to me like that would just let it flood." Kaleeth commented.
With a smile, Meesei wrapped her arms around Sabine to give her a hug. To Meesei, all of the pack felt like a family to her. They were like her community back in her village in many ways, but for Sabine in particular, she felt a close bond, like that of a mother to a child. She had commented on it before, but now, that thought seemed to ring particularly true. In recent years, she had been wondering if she would ever be able to have a child of her own, but she was starting to wonder if that wasn't already true. What did it matter if there was any blood relation if she could still pass down her knowledge and experience to another? Meesei was still not entirely certain how Sabine viewed her, in light of recent events, but as long as she was happy with her life, Meesei would be as well.

"I enjoy being able to talk to you, Sabine. You deserve your freedom from all that pain. That being said, be sure to tell me if you ever wish to be left alone. I admit, I might become a bit too excited, and want to talk to you too often. I understand that everyone needs time alone from time to time to meditate, rest, or otherwise relax." Meesei said, trying to make sure she did not become too pushy with her attention.
Yeah, I think it would be best for you to just bring reganza's character with you, Lightbox. I messaged Hail, but I assume he is busy. It is rather late now, but I'll post tomorrow.
"I don't think so, not really. I mean, hatchlings learn how to walk after a while by watching everyone else. I don't know if you call that teaching." Kaleeth responded. She put her arm around Janius as well and continued to watch Leaps snapping at the flies above him. "I guess wamasu are more...independent than our hatchlings. It is doing a lot for only being a few days old. I wonder why that is? Is it the same for humans, do your hatchlings...or, well, I guess you don't have eggs so...younglings? Do they take a long time to learn to do anything?"

After a few moments, Kaleeth swam over near the edge of the river and sat down in the water next to the riverbank. She leaned back so that her head was just above the surface and closed her eyes a moment to relax. Of course, it was inevitable that Leaps decided to swim over to her, climb on her head, and use that as a springboard to jump at the fleshflies. Her head was pushed under the water for a few seconds, after which she slowly raised back up and let out a sigh, expecting Janius to be laughing.
Meesei gave a light chuckle. "The Hist are...not so easy to understand. Even the most educated, experienced Treeminder cannot fathom their existence. However, we do generally think of them as benevolent. The Hist have always led the Argonian people in ways that work to our benefit, and keep us out of conflict if at all possible. I admit, I have never heard of the Hist encouraging an Argonian to leave their influence, but that does not mean it is not possible. It could be that they disapprove, but even if they do, it would not change anything about my choices. I may respect the Hist greatly, but my love for my family, all of you, supersedes anything else."
