Ariel held Rhazii in the same cautious manner as Ahnasha expected from someone holding another person's child. A few of the others, especially Lorag, seemed to have the same kind of fear about accidentally harming him at first, though Lorag did his best to downplay it. Rhazii was, of course, greatly interested in this new person until his short attention span caused him to look elsewhere. The only thing he did not seem to like to look at was the campfire, as whenever he would catch a glimpse of the flames, he would tense up and whine for a few moments as he turned and latched on to whoever was holding him, in this case Ariel.

After Sabine asked about the possibility of a child to Kaleeth and Janius, his nervous, stumbling response was enough to produce a laugh from a few of the others, though they were not all necessarily aware that Kaleeth had been hinting to Janius about that possibility. Kaleeth, however, seemed to ignore the obvious anxiety coming from Janius. Instead, her face lit up with a smile as she put her arm around him. While he looked as if he could have a heart attack from his anxiety, Kaleeth's mood could not be better. "I want to." She answered simply.
I have a question. Will I be writing the part with the caravan driver myself, or will someone else be controlling him?
"I...I don't know. We have a week to figure it out, at least. Maybe...maybe we can contact them somehow, like a phone call or something. We can come up with some excuse why they shouldn't come. Like...I don't know. Is there anything that would make sense for us to be away for unavoidably? They know that our semester has ended, so I doubt we can use that as excuse. We...we can come up with something." Sam said, though he did not know exactly what to suggest.
"We...ran into some trouble. An old friend, Khaj, that Khajiit who joined the Legion, he happened along and helped us out." Swims explained, shifting in his seat somewhat uncomfortably. He really didn't want to get into the details, but at the same time, he did not want to lie.

"Our friend said we weren't quite ready, and recommended that we get more training before trying again. I trust him, so...that's exactly what we're doing. We're going to get more training and, in a few years, we'll try again. I don't think we're going to be giving up on our dreams." He said.
I was going to see if anyone else was, but I will tomorrow.
I'm occupied with some other things, so I may be delayed in responding.

Also, is Veria's little sister an adopted Argonian? She has a strange name for an Imperial with a Nord father.
The woman said nothing in response, only giving a simple nod. She gave one last look around the camp, then motioned for the others to escort Sam and Stevie. "Alright, let's get moving. We will secure your belongings. For now, we have a remote place in northern Virginia that we will be taking you to. You might call it a settlement, or compound. You'll be safe there, from yourself and others." She explained briefly before ushering them into one of the three black vans parked outside of the camp.

The woman who appeared to be leading the group got in the front van, while Sam and Stevie were placed in the back of the middle van. They had armed guards around them, none of which seemed too talkative.

"Don't worry Stevie, I'm...sure we'll be fine. They might even be able to help us." Sam commented, though he was trying to convince himself as much as her. In truth, he was terribly frightened of this entire situation.
Swims nodded graciously and stepped inside, not that Vah gave him a choice. As usual when Veria was not at home, he took a seat by the fireplace as he waited for her to return. He looked around at the familiar home. It was probably the place in Leyawiin he had spent the most time in that wasn't his own home. Despite their failure at becoming adventurers, he was actually comforted by being in such a familiar, safe location. "So, Vah, what do your parents think about myself and Veria returning?"
I think Kaleeth his going to end up making Janius very nervous.
To Ahnasha, it was good to hear that Ariel seemed to be truly adapting to life in Black Marsh, as it was because of the pack that she had to move there in the first place. She, and most of the others, would feel rather guilty if they had caused her life to be irreparably ruined. That did not seem to be the case, however, as she had a new shop, new friends, and even a potential relationship. Her life in Thorn might not be perfect, but realistically, hardly anyone could truly call their life "perfect." Right now, Ariel was safe and, more importantly, seemed to be happy.

When Ariel asked about Rhazii, she smiled, then reached over and rubbed his stomach playfully, which produced a giggle from him as he grabbed at her fingers. "Well, it certainly isn't easy taking care of him, but myself and Fendros probably get a bit more sleep than many parents, nightmares not withstanding." Ahnasha said, immediately regretting her slip up in mentioning the nightmares. Hopefully, Ariel would take it to mean the nightmares that lycans naturally received as a result of their beast blood, though her and Fendros' night terrors were far worse than those. Nevertheless, she quickly moved on from the topic, so as not to draw particular attention to it. "Although myself and Fendros are the ones who take care of him primarily, the rest of the pack shares in the responsibility whenever it is appropriate. We're not always the ones that have to wake up in the night to calm him down when he starts to cry, unless he needs to be fed. In that case, I am the one who has to tend to that, though admittedly, I usually wake up every time I hear him cry, whether it is my turn or not. There is just something about hearing him cry that makes me snap to attention; instinct, I suppose. No matter how hard it gets, though, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Motherhood, that is. I...don't think I can put it into words, really. There is just something about having a child of your own, someone you care for and who you love unconditionally...it is simply indescribable. If, at any point in your future, you are deciding on whether or not to have a child, I would say that it is unquestionably worth it."

Just as Ahnasha finished speaking, Kaleeth made a special point to nudge Janius with her elbow and look at him with a grin before casually returning to her meal.

Shortly after Ahnasha withdrew her hand from Rhazii, his curiosity moved to Ariel, as she was still new to him. He reached out his arms and tried to grab at her, despite being all the way on the other side of the campfire.. Ahnasha gave a light chuckle. "It looks like you have his interest. Rhazii is much more of a curious cub than a frightful one, and I am glad he is. Having him be curious around new people is much better than him crying every time he sees someone he doesn't recognize. Although...I think my opinion might change once he learns to walk. I am going to have to keep a very close eye on him once he can move on his own. Anyway, would you like to hold him?" Ahnasha offered.
