Shadows in the Moonlight

Sam began to awaken when Stevie started to shake him. At first, he was confused on where he was or what was going on, but as his memory returned to him, his eyes shot open. The very first thing he saw was her beautiful face, which immediately filled him with relief. Glancing around, he could see that their clothes were still torn from the beast's slashes and they were still covered in blood, but their wounds were, somehow, nowhere to be seen. Despite the situation, he couldn't help but to smile and throw his arms around her, hugging her tightly.

"I'm so glad you're alive. I don't think I could have gone on without you. I don't know how or why, but we're both still alive, and that's all that matters." Sam said as he sat up. His muscles still ached, but he was otherwise fine. He had no idea how any of this was possible, but as he looked at Stevie, he remembered the fear and pain which shot through him the previous day as he watched her get torn apart by that monster. He remembered every regret he felt for the things he had not said to her, but now, it seemed, he was getting a second chance to set things right.

"Stevie, I....there is something I want to tell you. I don't know how it is possible that we're even alive, but I clearly remember what happened yesterday. I remember seeing your broken body and feeling utter terror at what might happen to you. I remember regretting that I never told you how much I care about you, and I don't think I can go a moment longer without saying it. I care about you far more than just as a friend. Do you...feel the same way? Do you want us to be a couple?" He asked, looking her in the eyes with a few tears forming in his own. He didn't care if it seemed strange to ask her now, of all times, as he could not bring himself to go any longer without saying it.

I think we should have them talk for a bit, then go unwillingly into their first transformation on their way back to the car.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

I should go to bed now. I do wish there wasn't a half of a day of time difference between us, though I would probably end up staying up until 3 am anyway.

Ahnasha began to awaken shortly after Fendros began moving around. She opened her eyes only to immediately close them once more when the light from the sun assaulted her eyes. She held her hands over her eyes as she sat up, groaning from her throbbing headache. At first, she didn't realize exactly where she was, but then her memories started to come back to her. There were some moments she had no recollection of, but she still had the highlights of the evening. She remembered the drinking game, some flirting, running off with Fendros, and the events that followed. She turned her head as she recalled the last part, confirming her memories when she saw him next to her.

"Oh...hello there." She said, remaining calm despite the circumstances. "I guess that was an...interesting night, if you can remember it." Ahnasha was not quite sure how to feel about the situation. Obviously, it would not have happened if she was sober, but this was not the first time this had happened to her, and there was nothing she could do to change it now.

Meesei awoke at the bottom of a riverbed, and wearing all of her normal clothes for some reason. She was terribly confused, so she swam up to the surface as quickly as possible to get her bearings. "How on Nirn did I get here?" She said aloud, her memories not immediately returning to her.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

I meant you should skip to the end of the celebration, since they would all be drinking around the fire for a while. Then fade to black.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Don't know, you can decide, though it might be best to at least skip to the part where they are all done drinking.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

"Agreed." Ahnasha responded. She wrapped her arms and tail around him once more, relaxing for a moment. Unfortunately for her, there wasn't much more she could do for the moment, so she simply looked around at the others to see what they were doing.

"Thought you'd never ask. It's been fun and all, but I don't know how much I can like a game that actually stops me from drinking. Besides, you look...busy." Lorag responded with a chuckle before finishing off the rest of his wine in a single, large swig. Meesei finished off the rest of her drink at the same time, though unlike Lorag, she could not simply get another. She grabbed herself a cut of ogre meat from the sack beside the fire, as well as a bottle of wine for Lorag, since he was undoubtedly going to ask for another. She tossed the bottle to him, though in her inebriated state, it was a rather bad throw. Fortunately, Lorag was still sober enough to actually catch it.

Meesei took a bite of meat and smiled as she looked over the group. "I'm glad we can take these times to enjoy ourselves...in one way or another." She commented, glancing over to Fendros and Ahnasha. "We...might have to delay training in the morning, but it's worth it."

"Definitely worth it." Ahnasha added, giving Fendros a suggestive look.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Meesei took a drink, taking longer than she cared to admit in her muddled state to make up her mind on an answer. "No...I'm good." She finally answered. She was not quite that drunk yet, though she likely should have considered herself fortunate they did not have another bottle of that brandy on hand. Once she finished off what she had, she would be forced to be done drinking for the night.

"Ahnasha, are you in danger of dying from drinking too much anytime soon?" Meesei asked. Ahnasha, who was purring like a kitten from Fendros rubbing her stomach, sat up and threw one arm over Fendros' shoulder while wrapping her tail around his waist. "No....maybe." She responded, taking yet another drink. "Fendros, are you comfortable?" She asked, her words even more slurred than before.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Quite. Meesei is in no state to intervene.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

"Sure." Ahnasha responded, bringing herself to her feet, albeit nearly falling in the process. As she was walking over to grab another drink, she figured she might as well ask her question. "Lorag, can I borrow your bedroll later? It has more...space than mine." She asked, picking up another bottle and giving Fendros a smirk, not even realizing she had answered a question at least mostly correctly for the first time.

Lorag burst out laughing. He had been pretty good with answering questions so far, so he had stopped holding back his laughter simply so he could drink. "We'll see." Ahnasha walked back over to Fendros somewhat unsteadily, then laid down on her back across his lap, looking up at him and holding the bottle of wine up in front of his face for him to take, smiling the entire time.

Lorag chuckled and looked to the Dunmer. "Fendros, have any regrets?"
