Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

So, unless there are any objections, we can probably fade and timeskip to at least arriving back at the cave. Would that be alright?
Fendros held Ahnasha in his arms and shared her chuckle as far as his physical form would allow. "We should do this more often," Fendros grumbled through his fatigue.

After a moment. Fendros looked back down at Ahnasha and licked her in return. There was a bit more blood soaked into the fur on her head than his. It was like a little extra sample of their decadent meal, even if it wasn't exactly a formal sit-down three course affair. With the amount of blood that had run down her front, Fendros began to lean forward to lick further down her neck. Once he had tasted all he could reach, his own playfulness and desires got the better of him and he turned over to lick at Ahnasha's front. Leaning over her, his beast spirit was back with a new prominence again. He felt different carnal desires that just eating starting to develop. Fendros took a while to realise it, but went along with it if Ahnasha would. They still had plenty of time before they had to head back after all.

One last lucid thought ran through Fendros mind. My father is going to kill me...
Why, thank you!
The moment the creature was overbalanced and slammed onto its back, Fendros lunged and latched his teeth on its throat, holding it in place with both hands and tearing away at it. He lost himself in the smell and the taste as they killed the creature. Its death throes and pained sounds were quickly drowned out by the sound of its body being torn open and apart. A slam against the creature chest by Fendros to crack its ribcage was the act that silenced it.

Fendros' beast spirit was craving to feast by now, especially as the blood dripped from Fendros' mouth and onto the edge of the dead kagouti's open wounds. Fendros looked to Ahnasha before making a decision. She was happily eating away at the creature's entrails, and Fendros bade that his beast spirit let her eat first. Ahnasha was not their alpha, but she was their mated partner. At least his beast spirit was somewhat understanding of the concept of a gifted favour to the one that they loved. Fendros stepped back and salivated while he waited his turn.

After Ahnasha pulled away the meat that she wanted from the kagouti's corpse, there was still plenty for Fendros to choose from, courtesy of the creature's bulk. He stepped up to eat as well. He was spoiled for choice in comparison to when he hunted with Meesei. Fendros enthusiastically began to feast, ripping and tearing, letting his beast spirit eat its fill.

Once he swallowed his final mouthful, Fendros' energy began to slow. His beast spirit was satisfied now that the hunt was over. Without any words, he sat at the base of a mushroom tree and looked at Ahnasha. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to transform back yet or not, but looking at Ahnasha seemed to be the thing keeping his beast spirit from receding of its own volition. Khajiit or lycan, she was still lovely. Even just looking at her was enough for Fendros to feel awash with euphoria, just as it was in their normal forms. With one hand, Fendros bade her sit down with him and rest for the moment. Fendros felt like being close to her again.
While the screams became more prominent, Sara stuck to her plan of acting normally to try not to proliferate the panic. Sara didn't even spot the serpent of energy coming before it latched onto the little girl in front of her. An expression of shock reached Sara's face as she reached forward to grab the girl from harms way, but was stopped by the length of the shackles clinking taut. The girl disintegrated instantly. Sara was frozen in place, unsure what to do. She spotted in her peripheral vision another person falling to the same fate. Then another, and another.

Sara began to breath faster, then yanked on one of her shackles another set of times. She had to escape this nightmare. No matter how she bared her teeth and tried to break her bindings, she couldn't come loose as more people were atomised around her by the energy leaping from the crystal. She tried to break the other chain similarly. It would not come loose. The number of other people in the room was running out. All these people were gone. When the tendril came her way, Sara let go of the chains and turned to face it with a terrified look. She glanced almost pleadingly to the gunblade mercenary, who was one of the few who had made it this far, before she scrunched her eyes shut and prepared to die.

She felt the energy of the crystal run through her. Through gritted teeth, Sara screamed in defiance, but there was no pain. It was more of a numbness, followed by a buzz of energy. It didn't seem to last long, and Sara was left in her same standing position with her eyes shut. Her breathing was shallow and wheezing. As it slowed to a more steady pace, she realised she could still hear people dying, she could still feel that she had a body. She opened her eyes. She was still alive. She held her shaking gloved hands out in front of her. Why was she still alive? Why wasn't she dead like all the others? What is happening? Her legs gave way and she fell to her knees in shock. The mercenary in front of her hadn't been chosen yet, but Sara managed to inhale a gasp and point behind him at the incoming tendril, his time was coming as well.
While Ahnasha followed his directions, Fendros stalked the kagouti from the other side. Once they were in position, Fendros waited until he was sure that the creature was in an ideal space, before springing out from behind his concealment to strike. Ahnasha took the role of attracting the creature's attention, a role Fendros would rather have done not only to test his strength in a direct confrontation, but to keep Ahnasha out of danger. It was no matter now, though. The kagouti's tusks were in Ahnasha's grasp and it was unaware of Fendros running up behind it. Fendros' beast spirit drove them on with excitement.

Fendros jumped, but there must have been a sound that betrayed him, as the kagouti lifted its head to protect its neck with its bony head crest as Fendros latched on. Fendros tried biting the creature, but all other exposed areas were not carrying anything vital. Fendros had a contingency, however, one that would put him in a bit more danger, but was unlikely to kill him. The creature thrashed away from Ahnasha with cries of panic as it tried to throw Fendros off its back, but Fendros was heavy and latched on firmly. It made the contingency more difficult, but he wasn't going to give up. While still holding on with his fore-claws, Fendros slid his body down the left side of the kagouti and held his feet against the ground. In another motion, he brought his right hand around and under the creature's left leg and began to try and lift it. The kagouti was heavier than he thought it would be. Perhaps he had overestimated. Still, while the left leg thrashed and managed to rake at his right arm and cause a shallow scratch, he slowly began to tip the creature over while he followed its hops away from him by stepping forward.

Fendros had hoped that he would be able to reach the creature's neck from the position he held it, but with how heavy it turned out to be and the nature of the position he had put himself, he needed to tip the creature over completely to reach its neck. He didn't quite have the required strength though, he was only holding the creature up nearly to the point of tipping it over. He bared his teeth and growled in frustration, trying to find the extra strength. He needed Ahnasha to provide an extra push against the kagouti's body.
Bappy hirthday!
You might have better luck in the 1x1 interest check section if you would like an RP partner. Other sections such as this one really just have group RPs.
G'night!
It wasn't until Fendros was running that he felt a sudden nervousness about leading a hunt for the first time, even if it was just with Ahnasha. Every other time, Meesei had been there as a guide as well as a leader. This time, he and his beast spirit looked forward to feeding on their prey without having to wait for the alpha to take her pick first. Ahnasha might posture to eat first though, technically Fendros was still less experienced than her and probably lower ranking. Fendros' Dunmer side pondered letting her eat first anyway, with her being his mate. The thought seemed to make his beast spirit ambivalent about it more than anything. The back and forth in his mind between his beast spirit and himself fascinated Fendros. He felt as if he would have benefited from transforming without obligations earlier.

They came across some tracks fairly quickly. Fendros slowed to a stop to sniff at them and discern the direction that the kagouti was traveling. He had gotten better at tracking in his lycan form since Meesei had started training him, and he swiftly found a heading that he confidently followed. He glanced over to Ahnasha to make sure she was still following. The beast was close. They kept moving.

The trees became more sparse as they followed the tracks. A rustling sound in the distance caused Fendros to slow to a halt again and look ahead, his ears high and listening. He raised a clawed hand to gesture Ahnasha to stop as well. The rustling sounded again, and a few hundred metres in front of them Fendros spotted the kagouti. One of Morrowind's many odd and dangerous creatures. A little bigger than his lycan form, two large tusks, and two bulky clawed legs. It hadn't noticed them yet.

A consequence of the kagouti's physicality was that its neck was not an easy place to get to without putting oneself in danger of the creature turning its head and bringing its dangerous tusks, or its raking feet, to bear. As much as Fendros wanted to test his strength, an ambush was still the first consideration. "Circle around left. I will go right. Do not let it impale you, but it can only face one direction at a time." Fendros kept his eyes on the creature, but explained his initial plan in as a quiet a tone as he could manage to Ahnasha, "If it stands to fight, one of us will try to take the creature from behind and kill it quickly." Fendros had a feeling that his words would not nearly be as coherent if he hadn't fed his beast spirit the day before. Indeed, a part of him was apprehensive that his plan would be sufficient, though that might have just been nervousness at dictating an ambush plan for the first time.
