Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

"Any of you can use our rooms. Champion's pack or not, we're grateful you're here. There are six of them, so you will need to share, but it shouldn't be too crowded." The Dagi-raht answered.

Ra'kalesh looked to Uthri and spoke with a reassuring tone. "You need not worry about this one's pride. They are all likely to be down in the camp, catching up with those we have not seen since the attack. This one desires the same, honestly. Your packs may have the rooms."

"In that case, we will accept." Meesei continued. "Thank you, and may you find Hircine's favor in the days ahead."

The assistant stepped forward and nervously waited until everyone was finished speaking before saying anything himself. "Alright, just...wait near your rooms. This one needs to take the Champion's pack on a quick tour of the outpost. We should not be long."

The Dagi-raht and the others agreed, leaving the assistant to lead the group to their first point of interest. Ra'kalesh stayed with them for the moment, though he intended to go back to his pride once they had seen everything important. Their first destination was the closest, and the one they needed to find perhaps the most quickly. On the north side of the outpost, there were four separate structures built around different trees that the assistant was quick to point out. "These are our storerooms. You can get food and supplies here. There are also barrels of water, but those are there in case of a fire. If you need water, there is a river that flows near the outpost, just to the east. Ri'nakhad said you can take anything you need from the storerooms, so you can go ahead and do that now, if you want."

"Most of the rules would be no different from any civilized settlement." Ri'nakhad answered. "This one gives you permission to take as much food and supplies as you need from our storerooms. Normally, you would be required to dedicate an appropriate amount of labor for anything you take, but this one assumes that what you do for us will more than make up for anything you take."

Pausing a moment, Ri'nakhad turned his head to his assistant, a black-furred Suthay-raht around the age of Sabine and Peiter. "Please show our guests the important points of the outpost."

"But...sir, this one needs to help you..." He protested briefly before Ri'nakhad interrupted him.

"Ri'nakhad can get back to his room without needing help, he assures you. Please, give them a proper tour of the camp and outpost." He requested.

The assistant took in a deep breath before glancing over to Meesei. "Of course, right away."

Upon Ri'nakhad's direction, the assistant led the way out of the meeting hall, with Meesei and the others following right behind. However, as the first few stepped outside, they were met with a crowd of six, mostly different kinds of Khajiit. The one in front was a Dagi-raht woman. She was small, even moreso than a Suthay, and seemed to look up at the group with amazement. Her eyes darted between Kaleeth and Meesei until they settled on Meesei's ring.

"It is her..." She mumbled, mostly to herself. "Champion...this one is sorry if she is intruding but...we all decided that we wanted to volunteer our rooms to you while you are here. It...seems only right that you sleep up here, instead of in the tents in the camp below. Please, it would be an honor to help you and your pride...um, pack, however we can."

Meesei smiled warmly at the Dagi and gave a nod. "If that is what you all wish, then I would be honored to accept. As long as the rest of my pack agrees." She answered. It would be more convenient to have a room closer to the clan's leadership, but she would be lying if she did not admit that an actual room was not appealing for the comfort.

"Anything we have is yours to make use of." Ri'nakhad answered to Gallus. "It seems word of your arrival has already started spreading through the clan. This one was even approached on the way to the hall by someone volunteering their own room up in the trees for your use for as long as you are here. Ri'nakhad does not doubt others will make the same offer. There are some here who see you and your pack as heroes."

Meesei could not help but to give a slight smile. "I do certainly appreciate that sentiment, but that is a praise I intend to earn, rather than receive on reputation. I believe we have found a way to disrupt Vile's forces in this region." She commented before reaching into her bag and producing one of her maps of Elsweyr. She unrolled it on the table between them, and pointed to one of the circles near Corinthe. "From what we have gathered, this is around the location of the enemy's fortress in Elsweyr. If we capture it, then not only could we eliminate their central command, but also learn more about their operations in the region."

Ri'nakhad leaned over the map, giving a sigh as he saw the marked location. "That was what we were attempting to do before the attack. We did not learn its exact location, but we did have scouts skirting close to that area. We know it will be very well defended, however. You would need a large force and a strong plan in order to take it, but this one is afraid that his clan's remaining warriors will not be nearly enough to stage such an assault. We simply lost too many during the attack."

Meesei nodded in understanding. "I know, I did not expect your clan to be in a position to face them alone. That is why I intend to enlist the aid of the Orcrest clan in this attack."

"That would give us enough forces, but it does come with another problem. Even before the attack, we were having problems with our messengers being intercepted. Now, since Vile's forces have such a strong grip on Pelletine, we are very unlikely to be able to send messages to coordinate the attack." Ri'nakhad said regretfully.

"Yes, that does present an issue." Meesei answered. "It will likely not be possible to use messengers without them being intercepted, but Vile's patrols would not be able to intercept a larger force by themselves. I am aware that you have the means to mask your scents, so if we can send a large force that can move quickly, while covering its tracks, then we can move straight by their patrols before they can organize a larger force. We would be able to stage the attack straight from the Orcrest clan."

Ri'nakhad stared at the map for a few moments in thought. "Hmm, this one sees how that could work, but since it would involve a large dedication of resources on the part of the clan, he would like to involve his lieutenants in this discussion. He could call for them now, but perhaps you would like to hold that meeting in the morning? Ri'nakhad sees the fatigue in your pack...and on yourself, Champion." He suggested.

When she had first taken on her role, Meesei had a tendency to work constantly through her exhaustion, and had erred in her judgment because of it. Now, while she was very focused on her responsibilities, she was at least willing to rest when it was a reasonable option. "Very well, we can have a proper meeting on this matter tomorrow, in the morning. I thank you for your hospitality."

Ri'nakhad bowed slightly. "No thanks are necessary, Champion. It is a pleasure, a privilege, and a relief to have you and your pack among us. Now, does anyone have any questions about this one's clan, or the outpost itself? This one will help however he can."

The funniest bit... I think Mar and Althalus is the most normal couple, aside from Ssarak and Mei.

@Fallenreaper

I think Ssarak and Mei got together under more normal circumstances.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Ssarak Dyreackthanose

---

Ssarak had taken the bracelet and agreed to give it to Lyn just before Colette approached. Between Colette's arrival, the effect of the candy she had given the girl, and the thoughts that Ssarak was able to pull from both of their minds, he had little question as to what was happening with her. Satori's warning made much more sense to him now; he doubted Tyrael would have the tact to deal with a hungry, but still friendly vampire. Admittedly, he was not especially knowledgeable on the details of vampirism, but he doubted there was a true substitute to blood. If there were, then being a vampire would not likely be nearly as controversial across Tiien.

"Greetings, Colette. I was just about to take this young woman to see the psychomancy instructor, Satori. If you will follow me, I will take you to where we might find her." Ssarak said, still keeping up his friendly tone despite the anger and fear still present in the girl. He started to lead the way to the edge of the courtyard, away from Lyn and anyone else she might harm. However, he kept a close eye on her to make sure she was following. If not, he would possibly be forced to take more drastic actions to ensure the safety of those around him. With luck, that would not be necessary.

It only took a minute or so longer for the door to the meeting hall to open once more. Following just behind his assistant, Ri'nakhad stepped slowly into the room. He was an elderly Khajiit with grey fur, who walked with a cane. His stature was notably smaller than a Suthay-raht, moreso than would just be expected with age. It was possible that he was a Suthay, rather than the taller, more common Suthay-raht. Compared to others of his age, he did not actually look especially weak and frail, but he obviously lacked in physical capabilities compared to most lycans. Immediately, Meesei rose from the table and approached to greet him.

"So this one's assistant has not gone mad. Hircine's Champion truly has found us." Ri'nakhad said, smiling warmly as he extended his hand to Meesei.

"Yes, I am Meesei. We came to Elsweyr to investigate the lack of communication with the Senchal clan. We have since rescued a pride from imprisonment from Vile's forces, and learned of the attack that drove you from your original home. We are here to help eliminate the threat of Vile's forces in this region." Meesei explained.

At the behest of his assistant, Ri'nakhad took his seat at the table and prompted Meesei to take a seat nearby. "Ri'nakhad will admit, few in the clan have seriously spoken of victory against the enemy in quite some time. But, if you are here, perhaps our vitory is truly Hircine's will after all? And...Ra'kalesh, this one knew he recognized you. It is good to see you alive, friend. Is your pride alright, or has only Sees-No-Colors survived?"

Ra'kalesh shook his head. "No, this one's pride is alive and well. He merely told them to take the opportunity to rest once we arrived here. Colors was not held prisoner like the rest of us, but rather forced to serve our captors, so this one felt you may want to speak to him yourself."

Ri'nakhad smiled. "That is good to hear. This one feared you were all lost with the rest of the clan. You and your pride may have as much rest as you require. And the same is true of your pack, Champion. It could not have been simple to find us. Is there anything at all which any of you require?"

Yeah, I'll bring in the clan leader tomorrow, when I'm more awake.

Peiter's smile remained sympathetic. He honestly was not sure if it was just fatigue that had been keeping Tzirret so distant. It was true that they had been doing more work than usual during their searches. Not only were they on their feet walking for the majority of the day, but they were having to cut through a thicker forest than they were accustomed to. Then, after getting back to camp, they had been required to move all the way to their next campsite before finally getting to sleep. As such, it was believable that he would be fatigued, but given his present emotional desires, Peiter also found it equally likely that there could be something more.

"Well, since we've finally found the clan, you should be able to get some rest now. As soon as you can, you should get some sleep. It might be a bit hopeful, but we may even be able to find a proper bed for you. I know myself and Sabine have been...spending a lot of time with each other as of late, but you're still our best friend. I've missed having you around with us." He commented.
