I guess we could. They don't have an awful lot of depth, but that's not a problem. I know I could play Gallus at least. If you're referring to picking one of Sabine's friends rather than specifically a scholar's loft colleague, then I would ask that you play as that character. Playing all of Sabine's friends gets boring. I'd rather more of Sabine's interactions be done over posts rather than me writing all of it.

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!

Janius pinched his lower lip and thought for a moment. "I think I know a possible candidate. Gallus, Oswall's son, he formed his own pack with his closest friends a year ago. It's a diverse pack, and skilled. He's a friend of mine, at least. I know it won't be the very best that the clan has to offer, but with what you say, I don't think the very best could afford to leave."
"Either Gallus or Caldris' pack would be fine for me," Fendros commented, "We've known them both since we first arrived." Fendros looked around until his eyes reached Sabine, "Just to explore options, would any from the scholar's loft be willing to travel with us?"
"Hm..." By the way she was looking into space, Sabine was evidently already thinking about that, "One might. Maybe two. Darahil would have to give them permission."
Rhazii moved his head to look at Ahnasha. "Can Carli come too?" He asked innocently. Carli was a burly middle-aged Breton matron and one of the child minders for the clan. She took care of Rhazii and a few other that were close to his age, including Newt, when their parents had external duties. She was the least likely that any of the pack knew to agree to go adventuring. Fendros responded with a small smile and the cringe of a held-back laugh.

I don't have any personal preference for which characters to bring. I agree that we don't need to focus on them too much.
The dilemma of what to do with Rhazii and newt was not an easy one to answer immediately. Fendros and Janius gave ambivalent expressions, but they were unanimously not fond of leaving them behind.
Kaleeth's suggestion made Janius' eyes light up. "That's a good idea. We don't have to travel as a lone pack like we used to."
Fendros had his eyes closed and was rubbing his temple. He didn't seem quite as enthusiastic as Janius. "If we do convince another pack to come with us, they have to be those we know and trust. They have to be able to protect the children."
"Well, of course," Janius offered an upward-facing palm to Fendros briefly, "I mean, it will mean provisioning for more people, but if they pull their weight, I don't see why not-"
"-Perhaps..." Fendros looked up, a little flustered, "...perhaps we shouldn't set anything in stone until we actually hear what we're doing."
Sabine decided to chime in, looking up with a curious frown, "Who would come?"

I have to head to work. G'night!
"That's one way to think of it..." Janius mumbled, not entirely convinced by Lorag's sentiments.
As for everyone else, at least the chance that they would return eventually lifted their spirits somewhat. But, with the comfort came an equal amount of uncertainty.
Fendros ran his fingers through his hair with a bit of stress. "I suppose I had better make preparations today. I know a few people that can pick up my duties."
"Is there anything in particular we should do to prepare, Meesei?" Janius piped up, "Apart from packing up, of course."
"Dada, are we going to visit Bruma?" Rhazii chimed in.
Fendros managed a smile and ruffled the top of Rhazii's head, "We don't know yet, little one. Meesei is going to find out soon. Actually, that is a good point..." Fendros turned to Meesei again, "Will all of us be coming, Meesei?" Fendros was of course referring to the children. Though they weren't as helpless as before, they were still just toddlers.

The gathering for breakfast was convened in a universally good mood. It was not often that everyone could be present at once, especially with Meesei. Janius and Kaleeth didn't have business in Bruma as recently as Meesei and Fendros, so they had hunted for Sabine's gift. To anyone who wasn't an alchemist, a leather sack of fresh frost troll fat would be probably one of the least appealing birthday presents imaginable. But, for Sabine, who lacked the means to get such an ingredient on a regular basis, it was thoughtful and appreciated.
Ahnasha's arrival prompted Meesei's announcement, and immediately the entire pack was silenced. Glances were exchanged from person to person. They all knew this day would come, but each day they had lived with the clan only built up the regret they would have for parting with it.
The exact emotional reaction from everyone was ambiguous for now, except for Sabine. She was looking down and at the floor, probably trying to hold back sadness. The children didn't really know what was going on, of course. Janius was quiet. Fendros decided to break the silence.
"How soon? Where are we going?" Fendros asked seriously.

Hmm...It's a powerful reflection ring, but Darahil probably would have tried to find a protected spot for it. There's no knowing where it came from, so it could have some extra benefit for Vile. By this point, Darahil probably would have analysed it to the best of his ability and found nothing outwardly suspect, but he wouldn't be confident that it's absolutely clear of risk to use. "A Daedra did it" and so on. If Meesei looked at it, she would probably come to the same conclusion.
I'll get a post up in a bit.

You may skip us to breakfast, or whichever scene you want to get to next, unless you still have sooner things you want to play out.
"It'sh good," Sabine assured Meesei through a mouthful.
"I'd wager it. It, uh...it looks good," Fendros said dubiously.
Sabine let out a chuckle through her nose before swallowing. "I'll come too, after I have eaten."
"Dada?" Rhazii looked up at Fendros with eyes that Fendros had needed to actively train to say no to, "Can I have some of Sabine's breakfast?"
Fendros glanced at the platter. He inwardly wondered how Rhazii could be a such a fussy eater when something was offered, but want to try something new when it was someone else's. "Well, Sabine's food is quite strong, but if you like, you can ask her." Before Rhazii could finish breathing in, Fendros added, "Say please."
Rhazii turned to Sabine, "Sabine, can I please have some of your breakfast?"
Sabine couldn't help but smile. "Okay, you can have a bit," She said, wondering what to give the cub. She settled for tearing off a small lump of meat from the lamb shank. It was a rich meat, but it wasn't nearly as strong as most of the other things on her platter.
The morsel went straight into Rhazii's mouth as if he had barely handled it. He chewed open-mouthed and seemed to enjoy the taste.
"What do you say to Sabine, Rhazii?" Fendros said.
"Thank you," Rhazii knew his cues.
"Good, now let's go get some breakfast for ourselves." Fendros held out his hand and Rhazii reached to grasp it. "We have to get some food for mama, remember?" Fendros waved as he began to move out, "We'll see you two later."
Fendros and Rhazii left the room amongst questions by Rhazii about the availability of Sabine's lamb shanks at breakfast. It wasn't until they were out of earshot that Sabine looked to Meesei with her head angled forward and a small smile. "I felt a magical charge just before. Did you...?" Sabine trailed off and raised a hand, charging it with a spell to inspect Meesei's magic. She might find out if Meesei would agree to stand still.
As Janius, Kaleeth, Newt, and Leaps made their way to the dining chamber, they spotted Fendros and Rhazii exiting Sabine's room. Janius meant to give them a greeting after a few steps, but Leaps suddenly veered through Sabine's doorway, causing Janius to grab at his collar as quickly as he could. Sabine and Meesei were met by Leaps rearing like a horse under resistance from Janius, who was trying desperately to bring him to heel. "Woah! That's enough, Leaps! Down!"
Leaps quickly responded to the commands and laid down, croaking in disappointment.
"'Morning, Meesei. Happy birthday, Sabine!" Janius said with a smile that belied the episode, "Sorry about that, Leaps must have smelled your food there. I'll see you at breakfast later? I need to feed this rude creature."
Sabine was slightly startled at first, but she nodded, eventually beginning to laugh at the ridiculous surprise of it all. "Thank you," She said before Janius and Leaps slipped out again.
"I'd wager it. It, uh...it looks good," Fendros said dubiously.
Sabine let out a chuckle through her nose before swallowing. "I'll come too, after I have eaten."
