Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

"Very. It's warm, like Red Mountain itself is warming it...which it probably is." Ahnasha answered, turning her head to look at him. She smiled, obviously in a good mood. She let her eyes wander across his body. For any lycan pack, seeing each other in any state of dress or undress was so common that it became normal, but given her feelings for him and the relationship they had formed, she had started to look at him in an entirely different way. His appearance was something she would have to get used to. After all, she was Khajiit, so the features she naturally found attractive he did not possess. He had no fur, no mane, though she had been debating on whether or not to try and convince him to grow a beard. Regardless, he could become terribly and hideously disfigured and she would still remain by his side. She cared for him on a far deeper level than simple appearances. Still, he was close enough to Khajiit that she could appreciate his features. She continued to look him over, making no effort to hide her stares.

Meesei finished up her own breakfast, though she did not have much of an appetite. Her intestines were among the organs damaged, so perhaps eating too much would not be wise anyway. She looked to Janius after giving his recommendation for what to do with the bodies. "I would prefer to take them outside to bury them, personally. Allow their bodies to fertilize the soil of this desolate land. Perhaps we can burn the Dunmer; I know it is within their culture to burn their dead, to 'return them to ash', or something along those lines. These hunters may have been our enemies, but they were still hunters an deserve some respect."

After a few moments, Meesei turned her attention from Janius to Sabine. Now that they had defeated the Orc and his hunters, she found herself wanting to resolve the next order of business. "Sabine, could you come here a moment? I do not have need of anything else, I would just like to speak to you for a moment."

Sorry about the delay, I was writing in a collab simultaneously.

I think in my next one, I'll have Meesei pull Sabine aside to speak to her about that apothecary. Should be an interesting conversation.

As Lorag awoke, he carefully moved himself closer to the fire to have his own breakfast. With a broken shin, he couldn't do much in the way of moving around, which greatly annoyed him. He despised showing any kind of weakness, so he of course tried to play down his injuries. Despite the piercing pain in his leg, he did his best to hide any form of suffering on his part. Meesei knew him too well, however, and saw through his facade. His slight grunts and shaky movements gave away the fact that he was hurting.

Meesei nodded to Sabine in thanks when she gave her the healing, then glanced over to Lorag. "Sabine, could you get a healing potion for Lorag as well? And do not leave him alone until he drinks it. I'll not have his stubborn pride give him a permanent limp." She requested, shooting Lorag a teasing look. "At any rate, Fendros, Hircine did say too much else, only that he will let us know when it is time to act. For now, he simply wants us to keep the pack strong. Your training will continue once we are all well, which, unfortunately, might be a while. There is no way I am going to be able to move out of these caves for a few days, at least."

Once Ahnasha finished her breakfast, she went over to the pile of their belongings and grabbed her clothes and jewelry. Much like her own fur, they were covered in blood. Now that she had eaten, she decided to head over to the pool of water on the other side of the chamber. She set down her belongings beside it, then tested the temperature with her foot. She expected it to be cold, but surprisingly, it was actually warm, perhaps even hot. It seemed almost like a hot spring, except there was a stream feeding into it. Being that they were on a volcanic island, she supposed that stream itself could be heated by some unseen source. Regardless, it was a pleasant surprise. Slowly, she lowered herself into the water, which seemed to melt away all of the tension in her body. She had been scared out of her mind the night before, wondering what would become of her friend, but now, it actually seemed everything would be alright. Sure, Meesei and Lorag were hurt rather badly, but they could be healed. They were going to heal. Now, she was part of a pack that contained the Champion of Hircine herself, an honor she never could have dreamed of years ago when she first began to worship the lord of the hunt. After all the tension and fear from yesterday, everything just seemed...good.

As Meesei numbed her own pain, she gave the others a smile. "It is indeed an honor, though he seemed pleased with the rest of you as well. Clavicus Vile, the Prince who this Orc served, is a powerful being, and Hircine said you all have a destiny in the coming war against him. That will come later, however. For now, I think it is appropriate to celebrate our victory here, and it is indeed our victory. There is no way I could have accomplished this alone; you all risked everything for this, and you all deserve the praise."

Ahnasha couldn't help but to smile. To be praised by her Alpha always gave her a warm feeling, but this was a bit different. According to Meesei, her lord Hircine himself had given his praise to them. Looking at Meesei, she still held some fear about her condition, but Hircine had erased most of her worries. After hall, why would he give Meesei the title of his Champion if he thought she was going to die from her wounds? Although she was content to remain exactly where she was, her stomach showed that it had other plans when it gave an audible rumble. Reluctantly, she stood up and stretched her muscles, though she did not end up going far from him. Between the hunters' supplies, and the hunters themselves, there was plenty to eat in the chamber they were in. She sat down by the fire, still on the blanket with Fendros, and grabbed some of the meat Janius had cut up the night before. As always, she left it uncooked and went straight to eating, not really even caring about what type of meat it was. Glancing down, she saw that much of the fur on her torso was still caked in dried blood, but luckily, the pool of water on the other side of the room would be helpful in solving that issue.

My download speed isn't terrible anymore, it's merely bad.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

I have minecraft, and I could always download TF2. Minecraft isn't installed on this particular PC, but it wouldn't me much to redownload it, as long as I can remember my account information.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

I've never played CS:GO, but I've heard good things. We should definitely find something we both have to play.

Meesei gladly allowed Sabine to help make her more comfortable, as comfort was certainly something she was lacking in at the moment. She silently pointed over to Sabine's bag of potions to request a healing potion. The ones she had drank the night before had worn off by now, so pain was becoming an issue for her. She lifted up the bandage slightly to get a look at her wound, then pressed her hand against it and charged restoration energy through the area. To any healer examining her, her condition would seem just as critical as it was before. The spear had caused significant damage to multiple vital organs, to the point that some were almost nonfunctional. Magic could repair it, but it was not a certainty. Meesei, however, held no fear. Hircine's words had been more than enough of a guarantee for her that she was more afraid for the well-being of the others than herself. None of them had life-threatening injuries, but Lorag had a broken kneecap, and she hoped it didn't have any lasting effects.

A few of the others were beginning to stir as well. Lorag was asleep, but with his leg, he wouldn't be going anywhere anyway. Ahnasha's ears twitched at the sounds around her once Janius started talking, prompting her to wake as well. She was quite comfortable where she was with Fendros, so she elected to stay there for a bit longer, though she did lift up her head to get a good look at Meesei.

"Yeah, I'm up. I don't know how much of an improvement that is, though. My dreams were a lot less...painful." Meesei responded to Janius, groaning as she shifted slightly on her bedroll. She held her hand up in front of her for a moment, looking over the beautiful, intricately designed Ring on her finger. "Actually, rest was not entirely uneventful. Hircine graced me with his presence in the night. His words erased any fear I had about my own survival, as he named me his Champion."

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

It's early afternoon here and I have nothing to do, so I'll be on.

Also, what did you play?

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Posting it in the OOC kind of defeats the purpose of having a password at all.
