I am as well. You can bring us to those scenes if you like.
Peiter looked away, giving nothing but a blank expression. He was thinking, intensely, until his face started to show a hint of the pain within him. He closed his eyes and gave a very subtle sigh. "I see, thank you."

Without elaborating any further on his thoughts, Peiter tugged on Sabine's hand and looked down the hallway. "We should just get back to our room. Maybe find something to pack the painting in? Really, I just think I need some rest."

Ssarak felt both a great weight lift off of his shoulders, and a feeling of intense passion come over him, when Meirin returned his kiss just as enthusiastically as he had given it. He had not known exactly when this moment would come, when the opportunity would afford itself, but he had put considerable thought into it for at least a few weeks. The fear he had felt when he knew Meirin could be in danger during Lyn's hunt had revealed to him the extent to which he cared for her. He had known that he wanted to express that to her, but he had wanted to make sure that he did so properly, even going as far as taking the time to learn how Humans actually kissed, and what it meant for them. Now, after all of his worrying, he knew she felt the same way.

Even being as close as she was to him, Meirin's whisper was difficult to hear over the roar of the wind, but the context was enough to inform him of her words. Though, he did not have time to respond before it was time for him to once again take control of their descent. As the College was growing closer beneath them, Ssarak extended out his wings to catch the air, then pulled up and to the right sharply. They flew at impressive speeds around the College's tallest tower, far enough for Ssarak to remain safe, but close enough to make the speed of his sharp turn seem all the more thrilling. He made a tight circle around the tower, then turned to fly in another circle above the College's courtyard just to slow them down to a reasonable enough speed to land. Finally, he flew them over to the roof of one of the buildings overlooking the courtyard and pulled up at the last moment to allow himself to land on his feet.

Ssarak slowly lowered Meirin onto her own feet, but kept his arms around her, partially to keep her steady in case his acrobatics had disoriented her, and and partially because he wanted to continue holding her in his embrace. "And I love you, Meirin. More than I could have imagined." He said, reaching up one of his hands and running it through her hair.
Ahnasha was not sure she had heard the last of Fendros' objections, but she had no desire to continue that discussion at the moment. His next question caused her to raise her brow curiously. They had trained in quite a few ways over the years, and she could not think off the top of her head what the hills would help them accomplish in training. Regardless, as long as he was in a good mood, she was more than willing to agree.

"Sure, I wouldn't mind some practice, or beating you in a competition, if that's what you have in mind. As long as we have time, of course. I don't know if we're going to have anything to do over the next few days, or if Meesei will be handling everything. Anyway, you think we should head back to our room now?" Ahnasha asked.

"It's alright." Peiter responded, somewhat weakly. Even now, he would not believe that Sabine would actually want to send him into an even deeper depression. He returned her hug, though there was not a great deal of passion in it. Instead, he was silent, and looking ahead in deep thought.

Eventually, Peiter suddenly decided to speak up on a seemingly random tangent. "Do you think you could have lifted it off of me?' He asked. "Back at the fortress, could you have lifted the masonry?"
Ahnasha looked at Fendros quizzically, with her head tilted slightly to the side. "I can say I have no honest idea what in Oblivion you are talking about. Marcaille is an alchemist, and obviously a skilled necromancer. I don't see that there's anything wrong with her; she can help me. High Rock witches are known to have access to strange and unique kinds of magic, so I'm sure there is a lot I could learn. Remember, she helped to save Meesei's life; she and Sabine stayed up all night with her. Plus, Meesei obviously trusts her if she was willing to offer her the opportunity to come to Bruma with us. Do you have anything...specific you've noticed about her that you don't like?" She asked.

Peiter was distracted in his thoughts and did not notice Sabine stopping out in the hall at first. When he felt her tug at his hand, he looked back at her with a blank expression. He seemed like he was disconnected from the present, as he was only really engaging with anyone around him when spoken to directly. "No, I'm just...thinking about Irenya. I keep going back to it; thinking about how I'm not going to be able to see her again. She wasn't a perfect person, not outgoing, or even friendly, but...she was still part of my pack. She was wise, and really went out of her way to help us when we needed it. She was like...a strict grandmother. Not always pleasant, but she would do anything to look out for her family. I just know she would have stopped Gallus and got me out of there in one piece."

Ssarak did not need to hear Meirin say a word to know her reaction. Even for Esyire, seeing the tops of the clouds for the first time was an unquestionably memorable moment. He remembered his own first time in the clouds, so he knew that, for the moment, it would be best to simply allow her the chance to take in the experience herself. He remained silent, smiling as he watched Meirin’s reactions.

The pair flew around above the clouds for a few more minutes, but Ssarak was wary of flying any higher. Not only was he worried about Meirin being able to breathe properly, but he was having to strain his wings more to get higher. Alone, he could continue to climb, but Meirin was a lot of weight to carry. Of course, he doubted it would matter if he managed to climb any higher or not, since the view would not be appreciably different.
“I believe it is time for us to descend. I am beginning to feel the fatigue in my wings, and there is one more thing I would like for you to experience. At this height, it takes quite a bit of time to fall, and at full speed, that fall can be rather thrilling. Really, there is no other sensation that is similar. It is as if your body is without weight, like you are floating with the wind rushing at you from beneath. I would like to show you what it is like to dive. Do not worry, I will slow us long before we are close to the ground. Are you ready?” Ssarak asked. He allowed her a few moments to ready herself, then pulled back his wings and angled them downwards to dive straight back into the cloud.

Even though Ssarak had experienced it many times before, freefall still had a trilling element to it. The rush of the wind across his scales and the feeling of weightlessness were truly unique, but he had another reason for his heart to be racing. He had been thinking ahead to this moment for a while, or at least moments like it. Between the beautiful sight of the clouds surrounding them, the sensation of freefall, and his love for Meirin, he felt an intense passion in the moment. He simply hoped Meirin was feeling the same way. He wanted to show her how he felt, and with them being thousands of feet above the ground in a freefall through the clouds, he could not think of a better time.

Ssarak pulled Meirin so her head was closer to his, then gave her a kiss. It was their first one, and with the situation they were in, it was certainly memorable.
"Well, you could...eh, no, you'd need to be an alchemist to do that right." Marcaille answered, briefly shaking her head as she turned back to her ingredients. "I'll tell you if I think of anything. Maybe just think of me if you happen across any rare ingredients?"

Ahnasha nodded. "I think we can do that. Thank you, and have a good evening."

Ahnasha and Fendros took their leave and started to head back towards their quarters. This meeting had been more productive than Ahnasha had expected, but she was also fully expecting that she would be having a conversation with Fendros very soon. Even without seeing any reactions from him, she knew him well enough to know that he would want to talk about it. Whether he would be accepting of her plans, or have some objections, however, she could not say for sure.

La'khay did not have much more to say, other than to thank Sabine and Pieter for being supportive. She walked over and sat down on her bed, alongide La'tahne, and while she did not say anything to Sabine or Peiter indicating that she wanted them to leave, she did not seem like she was much for conversation at the moment.

Peiter, too, was just as silent as he had been since they stepped into the room. They, and the rest of the warriors, had a chance to mourn during the journey, but La'khay had learned of Do'ajee's death mere hours ago. Seeing her in this state brought back memories of Irenya, in addition to his arm. Altogether, he was on the verge of tears himself.


Without the tattoos, Kaleeth doesn't really look exceptional from any other Argonian. There's no way I'll be able to find anything close to it, unfortunately. I was going to screenshot the werecroc form, but skyrim crashed. I'll do that later.
Ahnasha was genuinely surprised with the revelation that Marcaille would be joining them, though she supposed it did make sense. Meesei has spoke of her plan to gather more experts, and they were certainly going to need alchemists. She simply did not expect to be able to receive lessons in person from someone with the knowledge she needed.

"I would be grateful, thank you. I have already...well I guess I really don't know how to describe how far along I am already. I can just show you when we start practicing. Now, if you are busy, I suppose we should not take up any more of your time." Ahnasha answered.

Marcaille shrugged her shoulders. "Just sorting and packing my ingredients. But, that is something I need to get done, I guess. As long as you can get me bodies and souls, I can give you lessons."

La'khay sniffed, then wiped away a few of the tears from her eyes. "Just after Ra'kalesh gathered us all together. He said what happened to Do'ajee, to Ra'jorr, and some of the others we knew. A memorial isn't enough to honor them; this one wishes we could do more. She was not even able to face her killer. They all deserved better. Why can't Vile just leave us all in peace?"

La'tahne had one hand on La'khay's knee, and another rubbing her back. Leaning in, she kissed her cheek. "It will be alright, dear. Her spirit lives on, and you'll get to see her again someday."

Peiter, meanwhile, had no helpful words to give to La'khay, as he was barely in any better of a mood himself. He was silent, and for a brief moment while he was standing idle, his reaction was to try and clasp his hands together behind his back. This, of course, only caused him to clench his hand into a fist in frustration.
Yeah. Needed a mod for the fins, eyes, tattoos, werecrocodile. The fins were easy, but I can't seem to get any eye mods to give an option for blue to argonians. I can get tattoos. Not the right tattoos, but she does have some. As for the werecrocodile, there is a mod with dozens of options for werewolf replacers. I use one that is based on a dragon for the werecroc. There is actually an option for a werecrocodile, but the posture is odd and just looks wrong, so it's not the best option.
