"I was about to say the same thing to you. As much as I hate it, we need to avoid drawing any sort of attention to ourselves. We already have enough of a disadvantage being such a...diverse group of people. Our hearing is better than your average mortal, though, especially mine." Ahnasha said, twitching her sizable ears slightly. "We should be able to stay out of sight and out of mind and listen in to what others have to say."
Ahnasha glanced over and saw that the others were already beginning to make their way out of camp, so she quickly threw her arms around his neck and kissed him for a few seconds. "And I certainly look forward to being able to do that again." She said with a chuckle before letting go of him and catching up with the rest of the group.
It was not a long walk to Vos, as they had made camp within sight of the city. Its tall, Imperial-styled walls masked the Dunmer city within. Unlike cities in Cyrodiil, the gates remained open unless there was a specific reason to close them, so they were able to walk inside with no issue, other than the Redoran guards, clad in bonemold armor, eyeing them down as they passed by. The buildings and structures inside the walls were made in traditional Dunmer styles from traditional materials. Though the buildings were made from clay, they were surprisingly strong. Perhaps not to the extent of the stone walls, but they were in no danger of collapsing. Meesei had no real desire to remain within any city for long, but the scholar within her had to admit that the architecture was fascinating.

Ssarak Dyreackthanose
As was usual for early mornings, Ssarak was in the gymnasium going through his daily exercises. Since winter had fallen over the land, it was about the only time he did not wear his fur coat. Instead, his vest and coat were laying on a bench in the corner while he lifted a few of the weights near the center of the room. He had eventually become comfortable enough in the college to remain unarmed unless he had specific need of his weapons and armor, which was rare outside of training. True to Khan's word, the college was a safe place, all things considered. Accidents were still a very real threat, but at least no one was intentionally trying to kill him.
Most days over the past few months had been busy for Ssarak. Between his classes, his private lessons with Satori, and the hours he spent daily on exercising and training, there was not too much time left for himself. Still, he had managed to make friends with some of his fellow students, especially other psychomancers, such as Annabeth. His dedication had certainly reflected in his abilities. He had learned more in a few months than years of individual practice had taught him. Due to his private lessons, he could manipulate his mageblood in ways that even most of his peers in Satori's class could not, or at least the ones who had not dedicated time to private instruction. He still was not entirely certain what he ultimately intended to do with the abilities he was learning, but having them at least opened up new options and opportunities for him.

I can't really stay up any longer. I'll just post what I have.
I was writing one where he is exercising in the gymnasium. Would that work?
Alright. I'll avoid mentioning any specifics in my next post. Honestly, I probably should have started writing sooner, as it is 3 am.
Lucius, do you think Ssarak would have ended up training Annabeth in fighting again? He would have offered, if he knew she was interested in learning.
I don't know how Ssarak is getting along with all the others at this point, but I think I will write a post for him now. I'm done with ESO for the night.
Training with Satori, then. As much as I would have liked to do the investigation thing. I suppose I'll just skip the summary of what happened and just wing it.

No one is perfect; there is always room for constant improvement. Lumber work isn't the most efficient way of strength training, but it will make him maintain his strength and teach him how to use it in different ways. The injuries suffered during the work would also show him various remedies he could use to recover from them, which itself could prove useful down the line. And of course, getting paid a good sum at the end of every week would allow him to purchase many of the college's services and products.Hey Fallen, you don't mind if I make up a currency system do you?
He goes through strength training every day as a part of his normal routine. I don't really think it would make sense for the lumber work to be too helpful. I was considering the investigation team anyway. Would he also have time for private lessons from Satori?
As soon as Meesei awoke, she ate her breakfast of kwama eggs and began to prepare for their visit to the city. She dressed herself in the clothing she had purchased on the mainland, which consisted guarhide shoes and a blue Dunmer-styled dress, which, like most clothing in the region, had a hood for use in ashstorms. The fabric itched against her scales and she found it generally unpleasant to wear, but it was necessary. Lorag styled himself as a bodyguard and, as such kept his iron armor and hammer. Fortunately, they would be able to keep their weapons in the city, as it was not at all unusual for travelers to be armed while making their way across the expanse of the ashlands. It would be more strange if they were all completely unarmed.
Ahnasha remained close to Fendros during breakfast. He could not look at her without her returning a smile. Unfortunately, they would need to avoid displaying their relationship in any form once in the city, as relationships between Dunmer and Khajiit were anything but common. It was unlikely to cause any sort of violent reaction from the locals, but they needed to avoid having any special attention brought on themselves.
Once everyone was ready and gathered around the campfire, Meesei addressed the group. "We must be careful while in the city. We do not know who this Orc has the ears of. It would be unwise to directly ask about him, as it may alert him that he is being tracked. Even worse, the information we receive could lead us into an ambush. If you ask the locals anything, try to avoid mentioning the Orc directly. As about local events, or perhaps steer a conversation about native creatures into one about local hunters. Never bring him up directly. Keep in mind that there may very well be other lycans here as well after the same quarry. It should be easy to smell them, but they can just as easily identify us. They are not likely to attack us, but neither will they help us. Still, we may be able to use their presence to our advantage. Just keep an eye out for opportunities."
