Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Lorag's mood had scarcely improved, though by this point, he at least was not actively looking for trouble. He stuck behind Fendros, staying quiet and out of the way. When the Altmer spoke to him, he managed not to pass on his frustration in his tone. "No, just my friend here." He answered simply.

It seemed like Fendros had found the book he was looking for, and Lorag was more eager than ever to get back to the tavern for a drink, so he approached him somewhat impatiently and eyed the book he was reading. "Will that book work for your kitten? We need to get back so I can...watch over our stuff."

"I don't have the gold." Reads explained. "There is no place in Stormhold I can study, just a guild for mages, but I am not good with magic. The only place I can think of where I could become a scholar without being a mage is the college in Lilmoth, but it would be expensive to go there, and I might not even get in. Fishing isn't that bad though, and living with my parents, I do have enough gold to buy one or two books every month." She said, at least a bit more cheerfully.

Hey Ryonara, Meirin's on the escort mission now, right? Lucius said he moved her, but never actually edited anything. Need to make sure I know who is there before I post.

"Indeed, they are a bit quieter than the engines of most other ships. I've been on Sovereignty vessels before. Overall, I would say they are efficiently designed, if not quite as...aesthetically pleasing. It's not like a military vessel is made to look good, though. They are made to wage war. Despite what some might try to tell you, even Rothian architectural design has a functional purpose. Curved surfaces don't have as many points of failure as angled ones." Rareth commented to Shiva.

The small talk continued for a while until the rest of the team arrived and took their seats. Then, with the press of a button on her wrist computer, Rareth directed the dropship's autopilot to take them to the spaceport. With military clearance, they were able to avoid the standard lanes of traffic and head directly to their hanger. Their ship was a Rothian corvette, which, while not the largest class of vessel, was still rather large at around a thousand meters in length. It had two hanger bays, one on either side. By Ashley's request, Rareth made sure to take them to the one that contained the Hummingbird. She was sure to message the ship ahead of time to report their arrival, so there was a welcoming party awaiting them once they landed.

As soon as the ramp lowered, Rareth saw a group of officers of all races, Dirophyds excepted. They each had uniforms of their respective races, with one in particular being highly decorated: a Tempu male who was the first to step forward, salute, and greet them. "Ah, it is good to finally meet you all. I am Repentant Solace, the new Captain of the, forgive my pronunciation, Tares'Synkuur. Boundless Light, translated. For those of you who sent your belongings ahead of time, we have taken the liberty of moving them to your quarters on the starboard side. There are a higher than average number of officers on this mission, so you may not all have your own rooms, but it should not be crowded. You may go there now if you wish, we will be departing for our destination shortly. In the meantime, however, I like to get to know my crew. If you so choose, I would like to take the time for more detailed introductions."

The other officers with Captain Solace stepped forward as well to give their introductions. The First Officer was a Rothian woman by the name of Fa'Vita. The Requisitions Officer, Akilah, who most of the team was already familiar with, was also present. The two other officers were the Maintenance Officer, a Rothian male named Korak'Vaer, and the Communications Officer, a Masulu male called Hirintka. After exchanging names, each of them remained to speak with the team who were at the center of this entire mission.

Lorag let out a sound somewhere between a huff and a chuckle. After a few more moments of silence, he finally turned around to look at Fendros. "With the places we're going, and the things we're doing, I don't think I'll have to go looking." He remarked before walking wordlessly out of the alleyway. He glanced back to Fendros, waiting for him to take the lead to get whatever he was after.

Reads gave a somewhat enthusiastic nod. "Yes, I love history. And law, and all the different kinds of old ruins of lost civilizations out there. I started out reading stories and fiction, but reality just seems so much more interesting. I just wish I had more gold for books, or even better, I wish I could be a scholar. But that...is a little out of reach." She explained, her tone becoming a bit less upbeat at the end.

I suppose I could assume everyone arrives and take us to the ship.

Lorag shook his head slightly, still not turning to look back at Fendros. "I don't expect an elf like you to get it. You've got, what? Three, four hundred more years before your body even starts to slow down. I've got nothing more after now. I'm as strong as I've ever been, but I'm never getting better. Every year I'm alive, I'm going to have to fight a bit harder just to try to keep up with what I used to be. I'm not a mage like the Alpha who'll just get stronger as time goes on, I'm just going to get slower, and weaker. You know, when most Orcs his their prime, they go looking for the best fight they can get until they die a real warrior's death. I can understand it too; what's the point of being alive if you're just going to watch yourself rot away and die anyway?"

"Oh, thank you." The Argonian girl said in an obviously surprised tone as Sabine handed her a coin. She felt nervous in taking the coin, but did not know if it would be rude to refuse it. For the moment, she held on to it, as most people waited for him to be between songs. When Sabine asked her name, she readily gave her Jel name, but for a human, the particular combination of words was almost unpronounceable. "I know my name is sometimes hard for outsiders to say. You can also call me Reads-Many-Tales. It is an, uh...accurate name.".

Lorag huffed. "You would do well to remember your place, boy. Don't think I won't stomp your face into the ground if I think it deserves it." He threatened before turning away for a moment and looking out over the crowd. He was quiet for a good ten seconds. He gave no real indication of what was going through his mind, but whatever it was seemed to calm him at least marginally. As much as he would have welcomed a fight, he did at least acknowledge that he didn't want to cause any issues in the pack without a good reason. Without so much as turning to face Fendros, he finally spoke up after the long silence.

"I didn't know what day it was until I overheard a drunk mention it back in the tavern. It was about two weeks ago that I hit my thirty-third year." He said in a neutral tone.

The Argonian girl shook her head lightly. "Oh, no, not really. I just stopped on my way back from getting a book. I like stories, but I prefer...true stories. His music is nice, though. I usually give him a coin if I stay, but I don't have any more right now." She commented.

I like bringing in the other forms of Khajiit. You never know when the housecat is actually a Thalmor spy.

Hey Lucius, could you head over to the titanpad when you are able? I have a question for you.
