Ahnasha nodded. "I can try, though like I said before, you may not have enough time to devote to studying it to really learn it properly. Maybe we can multitask. I should start giving all of your archery lessons completely in Ta'agra. I'm sure that won't lead to any confusion." She said sarcastically.

As they drew closer to the cave, Ahnasha's thoughts turned to their more immediate future. They were all going to be stepping into danger yet again with this raid on the coven. Because of Meesei and Ariel's scouting run, they had a much more concrete plan than when they killed the Orc, so in theory, they would be in much less danger. Still, Ahnasha could not help but to be worried. Not to mention the looming threat of Clavicus Vile. "I wonder what Meesei is going to say about our encounter with Mephala?" Ahnasha wondered aloud as they approached the cave's entrance.

Comletely (or at least mostly completely) unrelated tangent, did you know that bone strength is one of the greatest limiting factors in human strength? Our muscles are capable of far more physical strength that we can exert, but it would snap our bones (or tear ligaments, tendons, and muscles themselves). When people get struck by lightning and are sometimes thrown ridiculously far, that is purely due to the person's muscles working uninhibited.

"That...is a very good point. I didn't even think about that." Ahnasha said, scratching her head. "I shouldn't have to stop practicing with archery, but a lot of my other daily routine will be a bit too strenuous. Maybe I will have time? I could start with just sketches and work my way up. Although, I think it would be much more interesting to paint your body than anyone else's." She said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, you might not have the same free time as I will. you're probably going to be busy for the foreseeable future working on your more...practical skills. Still, you might be able to find some time if you're still interested in languages. You would just need to pick the one you're interested in. I'm pretty sure Janius just speaks Cyrodilic, same with Runt...well, maybe Runt. I've only ever heard her speak Cyrodilic, but if she was raised in Morrowind, it would stand to reason that she could speak Dunmeris, not that it would help you if she could. Anyway, if you think you can spare the time, I would approach whoever is appropriate for the language you want and ask them about it." Ahnasha recommended.

How far are you in that collab?

Not too far.

She said she had idea behind the whole curse thing, I'm not privy to all of her ideas.Also we agreed that he still has limitations upon using magic, and is back to beginner level. Anything else bothering you Lucius my friend?

I would think it would be difficult to use blood-based magic without blood.

Hey WitchChild, Frettzo and myself are working on a collab that involves fighting the masked demon, though Frettzo hasn't been on it in a while, I'm assuming because of life things. Perhaps you can join it as well?

No problem.

"Languages can be hard to learn, especially as an adult, though there are no shortage of languages known in our pack. Cyrodilic is obviously our common tongue. It's the only one we all know, but I also know Ta'agra, We mostly spoke Cyrodilic in my home, but my mother simply did not think it proper that a Khajiit would be unable to speak it. She embraced Imperial culture just as much as my father, but she was originally born in Senchal, you see. My father hardly even knew Bosmeris himself, so I didn't really learn of that. Beyond that, I also taught myself the Daedric language, and not just reading the runes. Seeing it in its written form is easy to read, but I have trouble hearing it spoken aloud. The pronunciations on some of their words are strange, to say the least. Lorag, being as proud of an Orc as he is, of course knows his own people's language. Meesei was born in a small village in Black Marsh, so as you can probably tell from her accent, Cyrodilic was her second language. I think the Argonian language is called Jel. It's not an Ehlnofex language, so it is entirely different from Cyrodilic in pretty much every way. I've heard her speak it before, it sounds strange." Ahnasha explained. Upon Fendros' question on what she wanted to learn, she paused to think. There was much in life she had wanted to pursue, but never got the chance to.

"As for me, well, all the skills I needed for hunting, I learned. Other than conjuration, I know plenty of the magical schools that interest me, but...well I always did have an interest in art. As I mentioned before in the temple. I find different races' artistic styles rather interesting. With how busy I've always been, though, I never really had time for more than just a passing interest. I always wanted to take up painting, but never got the chance. I don't know how practical that would be to learn out here."

Ahnasha glared at Fendros jokingly. "Yes, I just love it so much that I'm going to throw it into the wall the moment we step back into the cave. If I didn't think I might need it again, I would toss it aside right now. Really, I don't understand why 'civilized' women insist on wearing these things. They are so annoying to move around in, and are much less practical than other clothes. I would much rather wear something like what you have. Seems like it would be much easier to work, or fight, or make jumps between rooftops in."

By this point, they were still in sight of Vos, but far enough away that there beyond any outlying farms. They were not taking the exact path back that they took to get there, as they wanted to see different sights, and they both knew well enough where the cave was to find it. "Say, I have a question for you. You've been learning a lot from us since you've been with us. We have been training nearly every day, and you have certainly improved. All the things we have been teaching you, tough, relate directly to your ability to hunt, fight, or control your beast spirit. Those are all very important, but I was wondering if there is any skill you want to pick up that you're not already learning? Something you want to do."

Ahnasha took the pendant in her hands and examined it quizzically for a few moments before putting it around her neck. "Always thinking of me, aren't you? I think it fits me perfectly. I've never actually seen anything made of Dwemer metal before; it's not too common in Cyrodiil, and the gem is my favorite color. All-in-all, it is a wonderful gift. I think I love it almost a...tenth as much as you." She said with a smile, wrapping her arms around him and giving him a kiss. "I'll do my best to keep it safe. With are way of life, it can be difficult to keep belongings, but I'll certainly try. It's the thought I appreciate more than anything. I feel bad I didn't get you anything. I suppose I'll have to make that up to you later." She said with a grin.

Ahnasha looked up to the sky at the position of the sun. There was still plenty of time left in the day, but there was a possibility the raid on the witch's coven could be that night, so it would probably be best to get back. "I guess we might want to think about starting to head back. We can take the slow and scenic route though; I'm in no hurry."

Ahnasha stopped and put her hand on Fendros' shoulder, looking him in the eyes. "Do you trust me enough? All my time as a lycan has been spent with the pack, and in those years, the only people I have ever killed have been people I wanted to kill. Under Meesei's guidance, I learned how too keep myself under control . There have been a few animals I did not intend to kill at first, sure, but I did not put up near the mental battle I would have for a person. I know you have no qualms about hunting, and as long as you follow our training, killing animals will be all you will have to do. Yes, there have been, and will be times we will kill people, but those people are ones we select consciously, intentionally, and with good reason. I'm just afraid you won't be able to attain the same level of control as the rest of us unless you become closer to your beast spirit. You can't think of it as some monster or enemy, you have to be able to get close to it to understand it. I know it is a frightening prospect, but people tend to be afraid of the unknown. Once you understand your beast, you will have no reason to fear it."
