"I was able to help this time." Kaleeth answered immediately, and with a bit of enthusiasm. "Normally, I am too slow to keep up with everyone else, but this time, I waited in the water and they led it to me. I...killed it quickly. I don't know what it was, really. I don't know the kinds of animals that live in this part of Black Marsh. It wasn't too big or strong, just a plant-eater or scavenger, but it was at least something."
Meesei picked up once Kaleeth stopped. "We have had some issues...training Kaleeth since she joined us, but she has improved greatly. I do not suspect we will face any issues once we reach Bruma. Speaking of which, we should be sure to find appropriate clothing before we arrive there. I have heard it is of a less-than-ideal temperature. Do you have any experience dealing with the cold, Ariel? I am not certain what the climate in Vos was like for the winter months."

Hey Konan, perhaps we should do a quick collab with this bit, that way we don't have too many conversation posts?
Normally, Rukeewei probably would not have allowed the strange lizard into his inn, but given that they were friends, he could make an exception for Leaps. He, of course, saw the burns on Rhazii's face, but decided it would not be best to ask about them. Instead, he simply looked down a the cub with a warm smile. Once Ariel arrived and greeted him, Rukeewei returned Ariel's smile and kept his arms around her for a few moments. "Yes, I just have a little while longer on my shift...but you can go ahead and put the meat on the fire, if you like. It should be done by the time I am." He suggested just in time for another of his patrons to call out to him for another drink. As it was one of his regulars, a simple nod was all that was needed to confirm his order. "I shouldn't be long." He added before returning to serve the other customers.
Although the others already knew about the medicine, Ahnasha still did not want to call too much attention to it, or make it seem too important. She did not want to seem like she was in too much of a rush to get a hold of it, so she decided not to talk about it at first. Instead, she simply decided to greet her as the others were getting ready to start their meal. "Good to see you again, Ariel. How has your business been today?"

Rareth and Shuo did what they could to keep the remaining rebels back as the others rushed into the door. As planned, her blade was able to make quick work of one who tried advancing too close on her side. At least one of the rebels tried to use a grenade of his own, but when telekinetically pushed it back in mid-air, they elected not to try it again. The data center would not be far ahead, and hopefully there would not be a significant number of guards protecting it. Before that, however, herself and Shuo needed to get through the door with the others and, more importantly, prevent themselves from being followed.
After reloading her pistol, Rareth quickly looked to the door, then to Shuo. "Go, run for it!" She ordered, quickly taking Shuo's place after he started to run, Setting her pistol to full auto, Rareth simply fired blindly down the hall to keep their enemies suppressed. Shuo ended up taking a hit or two to the shields, but nevertheless made it through the door, which left only Rareth to follow. Luckily, her ability to teleport across open ground made it a significantly easier task.
Rareth ran to catch up with the others once through the door, but she knew that the rebels would only be seconds behind her, and since Bit had broken through the locks on the door, there was no sealing it behind them. As she reached the rest of her team, she quickly glanced behind her. "We need to seal this behind us...Bit! Can you take down the ceiling?"

Name: Shir-Val-Kuul
Gender: Female
Species: Tiss'shar
Age: 27
Homeworld: Tiss'sharl
Appearance:
Personality: While Shir is not a person who directly disagrees with the Jedi Code, she disagrees in many ways with how the modern Jedi Order carries itself. Although she had never considered leaving the order, she cannot help but to feel that the Jedi's current path is far too short sighted and narrow minded, and that they have lost sight of what the Jedi are meant to be.
Shir is a person who tends to break a lot of molds and does not easily conform to categorization. She does not hide or suppress emotion to the same extent as other Jedi, but they rarely note her acting on either of its extremes. She does not always approach situations with the same formality as other Jedi, but she is still quite well-spoken and educated. Overall, she tries to mold herself to be adaptive in any respect she can.
Flaws: As a combat specialist, Shir has not dedicated as much time to honing her force abilities as some other Jedi. One of the force abilities she did take time to learn, force body, can leave her injured and weakened, to which her limted healing abilities cannot repair in any short amount of time. As well, while her unique personality among Jedi gives her perspective that others would not have, she is more vulnerable to her emotions as a result.
Skills: Lightsaber forms: Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru.
Shir's fighting style involves rapidly and unpredicatbly shifting techniques mid-combat based on need, or to confuse foes. As a weapon master, she is skilled with a versatile set of weapons and styles.
Equipment: An extended hilt, dual phase lightsaber, orange color (uses two color crystals)
Lightsaber shoto, green crystal
A tool belt with pouches for useful items (datapad, comm link, etc...)
Force Abilities: As a combat specialist, Shir's focus has not been on strengthening her force abilities. She does not have many abilities beyond the core abilities all Jedi possess, such as telekinesis (which she uses almost exclusively for enchancing her combat abilities), only force body, and very limited force healing, given time and concentration.
History: As with most Jedi, the parents to which Shir-Val-Kuul was hatched and her homeworld in general had little bearing on her life, as she was taken from them at a young age for training. For the first few years, there seemed to be nothing exceptional about her, but as the other initiates were taught to conform to the expectations of a Jedi's behavior, Shir was just a bit different. She was not exactly rebellious, and her instructors could not say at any point that she was violating the Jedi code, but her personality stood out from the rest. And, as her skills developed, it became clear that her interests were somewhat different as well. Whenever she had time to herself, she preferred to research weapons and fighting techniques. This was not terribly uncommon, and as long as she could display the wisdom and emotional control of a Jedi, she could learn to become a Jedi Guardian, but it was the kinds of styles she liked to practice which her instructors found interesting. It was not only lightsabers, but blades, staves, whips, and even blasters in which she found interest.
As time passed and Shir passed the appropriate trials, she was eventually selected as a padawan by a Togruta Jedi named Rohlta, who also shared somewhat unconventional interpretations of the Jedi code. In their years as master and padawan, Shir grew to adopt many of his philosophies. Although, as was common for her, she always tended to seek her own interpretations of her experiences. Her master promoted a degree of individualism within her that some of his fellow Jedi found worrying, but as she was able to pass each of her trials of knighthood without too much issue by the end of her apprenticeship, it seemed as if she was going to make a fine Jedi.
Through her time as a padawan, Shir had never stopped her training with weapons unconventional for a Jedi, from variations of lightsabers, to her own teeth and claws, and it continued well into her knighthood. It was a foregone conclusion that Shir was to be a Jedi Guardian, given her intense focus on physical combat. As such, her missions caused her to be quite active in galactic peacekeeping, especially in the Clone Wars themselves. She has been known for finding unconventional methods for overcoming foes and other obstacles.
Through her experience in the field, as well as her constant training, Shir eventually earned the title of Jedi Weapon Master, though her eventual choice of primary weapon was somewhat more conventional than most with the title. She found that using a dual-phase lightsaber gave her the most effectiveness due to its versitility, but even then she felt too trapped within a certain stye. Over time, she began carrying a shoto which she could use as a parrying blade if needed, as well as extending the length of her lightsaber's hilt for greater grip and control. Although, given the extent of her weapons training, she is capable of using many more types of weapons.
At present, Shir is between missions at the Jedi temple. Strangely for her, instead of her usual training, she is often finding herself in the archives, researching not some ancient fighting style, but the history of the Jedi Order itself.

Once everyone was ready, the group headed out towards the city, which was not terribly far away .It was close to nightfall, but they would arrive at the Wamasu's Nest before dark. As they entered the city, they blended in moderately better than the day before, given that they had appropriate attire, but the amount of baggage they were carrying still caused them to stand out.
Heading inside the inn itself, they saw that it was not precisely crowded, but there were a decent number of patrons still remaining. Luckily, there was a mostly unoccupied corner of the main room in which the pack was able to set down their bags and take their seats. Rukeewei was still on his shift, and Ariel was likely still at her shop, so it was probably going to be a few hours yet before they could begin. Most of the patrons seemed to be wrapped up in their own conversations, apart from a drunk-looking Argonian man who kept glancing in their direction.
Although he was still working, the inn's business was just sparse enough at the moment that Rukeewei could afford a moment to approach them. "Ah, it is good to see you all again. My brother should be taking over for me within the hour, and Ariel should get here soon.." He said, pausing a moment and looking around at the other patrons. He leaned in closer to the pack and whispered so that, hopefully, no one else would overhear. "I know you don't have much gold at the moment, but I think I can contribute a few free drinks, once we start."

I'm finally finished with my finals, so I'll post tomorrow, or today, or whatever.
"Um, well, sometimes at first, but...not really. If it were painful...well, I was going to say less mothers would be willing to do it, but considering what even having a child in the first place entails, I think a mother would go through anything for her child. Regardless, I doubt it will be an issue until his teeth start to come in, but I am hoping not to need to do this by then. Khajiit teeth are quite sharp, and cubs just love to stick things in their mouths and biting them, so...just be careful in a few months if you're trying to play with him. That, or be ready to take a few bites." Ahnasha said with a smile. It was not long before Rhazii had his fill, so she cradled him in her arms and gently patted his back.
"You know, if there is one thing I wish I had for Rhazii, it would be friends for him to grow up with. There is a large gap in age between him and anyone else in the pack. By the time he is five, you will be, what, twenty? Perhaps we can find him some friends if we encounter other packs? In any case, you are going to be the closest thing he has to a big sister, I think. Do you think you will be ready for that?"
Once Kaleeth and Janius returned to camp, she immediately changed from her armor to the city clothing Meesei had purchased for her, albeit with mild annoyance. It was a simple dress, and compared to some more extravagant dresses, it was practical, but she still hated trying to move around in it. If there was one thing she disliked about cities, it was the inconvenient styles of clothing she was forced to wear. She would much prefer something similar to what Janius wore, but according to him, that would be unusual. Once she was dressed and packed, she approached Janius with her annoyance evident in her expression. "Am I really going to have to wear this the whole time we are on the boat?" She questioned.

Ahnasha gave a smile and a slight laugh, shaking her head lightly. "No, it's not like that. The worst we might experience from the voyage itself is some potential seasickness, it's just...sailors aren't always the nicest of people. I mean, they aren't necessarily bad, but, well, their lives are far from normal. Well, what most city dwellers would consider normal. You see, to work as a sailor, a person has to be away from land for potentially months at a time, staying confined to their ship for the entire duration. The only people they ever see are the other crew members, and they don't exactly live well. They have to ration their food and water carefully, and the ships are rarely clean for long, so they aren't always able to stay sanitary, which is a much greater concern for non-lycans. If they have a family, they won't see them for most of the year, which is why many do not."
Pausing for a moment, Ahnasha tried to think of an explanation that could calm Sabine's nerves. She did not intent to make Sabine afraid with her excuse, so she needed to make it seem concerning, but not too concerning. "I guess...I guess it isn't so much that sailing changes them as it is that sailing attracts a certain type of people. I mean, it is bound to have some influence on them, but they tend to have no family ties, and not a lot to lose. They are willing to take on high risk for gold, and tend not to care about social norms. Those types of people tend to be...we should just be careful. They are not dangerous; it isn't as if they are going to suddenly attack you unprovoked, it is just that they are not always kind."

Ahnasha had been absorbed in thought, so she did not notice at first when Sabine approached. It was only because she was holding Rhazii that she did not jump when Sabine put her arm around her. As per usual, her immediate reaction was to be defensive and dismissive of the issue, but there were a few seconds of genuine worry on her face before she slipped into her facade.
"Oh, no, it's, nothing. I was just...thinking about this voyage we are going to be heading on. I have never been on a ship before, but I know enough about them from living in Leyawiin. This vessel we are going to be taking, it is large, but even the largest ships can seem cramped after a while. We are going to be trapped in a relatively small space for almost a month with people we don't know, and who don't know us. Even worse, most of them are going to be sailors. From my experiences with them, they tend to act differently from most who live in cities. I suppose it is just something about being away at sea for so long, so often, that influences them. I have met some decent sailors, but some of them are simply scoundrels. We will need to be ready to deal with them." She said, hoping it would be an adequate explanation.
