"Hmhm, right," Fendros replied slowly with an amused smile. As Ahnasha continued, previously forgotten discomforts in his shoulders began to melt away. He took a slow breath and felt the freedom that he had regained thanks to Ahnasha kneading the tension away. "Ahna, I think you're a natural at this." He mumbled, starting to become sleepy. He couldn't exactly purr like Ahnasha was wont to do in this position, but he was certainly enjoying the feeling.
Across the fire, Sabine looked away from Meesei and into the ashes again. It was better than an outright no, and Sabine wasn't immediately upset. She sat in thought next to Meesei silently, before accepting the answer and staying by the fire to keep warm. It wasn't long before she decided to get up and head to her bedroll for the night. It had been another big day in terms of emotional confrontation. Thankfully, she didn't have to go back to the coven any more.
Nearby, Janius sat by the fire with his head bowed forward, letting the meat he had set over the fire start to become over-charred. Upon closer inspection, he had fallen asleep on the spot. Fendros spotted this through half-lidded eyes and leaned forward to take the spit from over the fire before the meat was completely overcooked. Fendros caught a whiff of the spices, it was familiar. "I think Janius may have tried to replicate that 'Khajiit style' you did." He took a bite before he passed the spit behind him for Ahnasha to consider. "Hungry?" He asked with his mouth full.

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!

As Fendros was hunched over in front of the fire, sitting cross-legged and leaning his elbows on his shoulders, it came as a bit of a physical surprise to feel Ahnasha's thumbs pressing against the top of his back all of sudden. He didn't jump though, he just sat up straight and looked behind at her with a smile. She was doing a fine job so far. Fendros looked ahead and let his eyes relax. It wasn't until he started to relax that he noticed just how much tension he had built up. Before long, Fendros suddenly winced and reached his hand over his shoulder to halt Ahnasha. She had strayed into an area where one of her claws was scratching his skin. Fendros chuckled and looked behind at Ahnasha again with a grin this time. He raised his left fist up with his thumb pointing out to one side, then pointed to the joint of the thumb with his other hand. "Use this, not the tip of your thumb." Fendros said patiently, before lowering his hands and looking ahead again. It was to be expected that Ahnasha would make a few mistakes, especially with the handicaps on the end of her fingers, but it wasn't a difficult activity to learn.
Sabine nodded in acknowledgement to Meesei. After a few moments, she had finished organising the alchemical supplies and went over to the fire, sitting next to Meesei. Sabine stared into the fire, but kept glancing over to Meesei, wanting to ask something. Mostly, she felt anxious about what kind of answer she would receive, so it took a while to get the courage. Eventually she slowly faced Meesei. "Can Ariel become a lycan?" She asked quietly.

:< Looks like we need another post before we get to the to the middle of the makin' of the master blaster jammin'.
G'night!
The rest of the walk to the hunters' cave was uneventful, save for a little more idle chatter. The most vocal topic being from Janius insisting that Fendros give him the next several portions of alcohol they should find in order to get even for saving his life, going on to heavily dramatize pulling him away after the ice-storm spell he took. Laughter was had, but no promises were made.
As they made their way back into the cave, Fendros took it upon himself to stoke what was left of the fire to deal with the night's chill, though the task was mostly down to building a new fire. Everyone else was content to relax, though. Feeling peckish, Janius took out a serving of meat from the food store and went to find some of the spices from the hunters' stores. He sighed as he sprinkled the flavourings over the meat, regretting that he probably would not be able to bring the spices with them. Before she sat by the fire with the others, Sabine decided to pack away her own alchemical equipment, and organise the equipment Ariel brought to make things easier for her when she arrived. Judging by the distances they covered, Ariel would probably take about an hour and a half to arrive, maybe longer if she took a longer to pack.

I think even when you decide to go to sleep at a somewhat civil time, we get a good two or three posts in a day. That's not bad at all.
Haha! Well, I do declare that I'm enjoying this RP. Thanks for roping me into this 1x1 business :)
The last I checked, there aren't many 1 on 1's that have this many IC posts across the board, and the big ones I looked at were free level.

"Well, I... of course!" Ariel said, looking wide eyed at Meesei's proposal, "That would help immensely. Thank you very much, Meesei, you've been nothing but kind." Ariel smiled, feeling in a much better mood than before. Slowing to a stop for a moment, she addressed the pack, "I'll meet you all at the cave once I pack what I need." She held Sabine's hand in both hands and smiled widely at her, "I'll see you shortly, sister."
With that, she walked briskly off in the direction of the road to Vos from the coven. Night was still hiding them and the witches may not be checking the road at the moment.
After Ariel disappeared into the night, the pack's mood seemed to be good. "All things considered, I'd say that went well." Fendros mentioned, taking Ahnasha's hand while he walked, "I'm glad we found a friend in that woman."
Janius hummed in thought. "I probably should have asked if she needed any help," He said.
Fendros chuckled in response, "I think public nudity isn't looked upon kindly by the night patrols of the city, Janius."
Janius shrugged and grinned, before glancing over to Ahnasha. "So, did you run into anything else in your infiltration, or did it all go to plan?"

Happy 600th ic post!
Ariel smiled back at Meesei and the rest of the pack, still crying. "The aid would be very helpful, thank you." Ariel said, her and her sister pulling away, "However, I need to get back to Vos immediately to start packing my more valuable materials. I can meet you at the hunters' cave later, I remember the way." Ariel sniffed and wiped her eyes again as everyone began to move out. "Before we separate, what of this plan for gold you mentioned?" Ariel asked cautiously. She hoped it wouldn't involve more of anything unlawful. While they walked, Sabine stayed close to Ariel and held her hand.
