Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Sabine contemplated by way of holding out her slightly curled fingers and scrutinising them. She gave off an ambivalent balance of interest and reluctance. "I do not know if I have the magicka to make one myself. Let alone if I can understand the portals at all." She turned to face Meesei. "I could try, though."

"Speaking of trying," Fendros said, bringing up a knee and leaning his forearm on it. "I would suggest pursuing a relationship with this man anyway, or whoever else might catch your eye in the clan. Even with us moving around, you aren't in your teens and twenties anymore. You might find that people are more patient now. More willing to be separated for periods of time and still be with you." Fendros gave an encouraging smile. "The worst thing they can do is say no."

"Mm," Sabine conceded quietly. Her eyes went down and then met Meesei's again. "Have you been visiting places with the portals as well? You could find a mate yourself if you wanted to."

I'm fairly sure that temporal consistency has never been at a good standard from any of us since this RP began.

"It is just embarrassing to share," Sabine responded, still cringing. "The last time I spoke to Peiter was a few years ago. He is doing okay, but he has not been quite the same since Tzirret travelled back to Elsweyr. I think Peiter might be seeing someone else now."

The next question brought Sabine straighter again, though she still avoided everyone's eyes. She paused to think, or perhaps to simply get over any worries she might have had about talking. "One man. Yes." She mumbled. "Here in the Silent City."

"Oh? Who is he?" Fendros asked. "Does he like you back?"

"I do not know," Sabine said. A soft smile crept up her lips. "I have been reluctant to find out. We travel away from the clan so often."

Fendros smiled. "Thank you, Meesei." He reached an arm around Ahnasha's side, giving her a small grin. "For falling head-first into it, we aren't performing too poorly with parenting, aren't we?"

Meesei's last comment caused Sabine to shoot her a wide-eyed look. Her jaw dropped and a flush went up her face. With a motion crossed between a cringe and a laugh, Sabine looked ahead and spoke. "Meesei, that is still embarrassing."

Fendros couldn't help but chortle. "Oh, you didn't catch her in the act, did you? With Peiter?"

Sabine groaned quietly, covering her face with her hands. "Divines, no she did not! Not...exactly."

Fendros sat down beside Ahnasha. He laughed uneasily as Meesei's question. "Trouble, yes, but it was a lesson for him in the end. He and Leaps are well enough in each other's company right now." He glanced at Ahnasha. "He and Julan sneaked out and found Janius' long lost little sister. One thing led to another and Janius' family had a reunion, I'm sure Janius and Kaleeth got to tell you all about it. While they visited Janius' old home, Rhazii tagged along and...from accounts, he was excluded from the conversation for it being a 'family matter,' and found himself alone with the young Khajiit house maid. Jatinha, I believe her name was?" Fendros raised an eyebrow to Ahnasha for confirmation. "They apparently got along well and Rhazii, being young as he is, got as far as kissing her, he admitted. He was responsible enough to bring a potion to cure diseases and to not reveal our nature, but he had decided not to tell Sabine that he was borrowing her potion." Fendros opened a palm to one side. "So we made sure he relieved the duty of a castle stable boy the next day."

Even with the odd story, Sabine chuckled through her nose at the absurdity.

"He was upset about leaving, of course," Fendros continued. "But he knew that we couldn't stay forever, so I told him to fetch a rose and write a note to his little flame before he left. Just to give the boy some closure. Of course, we did have to talk to him about what he needs to keep in mind in these situations for the future."

Fendros sighed and looked into the fire. "Even with him being a Cathay, he's growing up faster than we have been keeping track of, sometimes."

Ach, delays and distractions abound. The completion of this post eludes me!

Why is pacing so difficult!? Why can't characters realistically think and feel really fast!?! This character development shit is hard, why would anyone want to do it!?!!?!

Sorry for making you wait for a short post. A few social events left me busy and too tired to respond for a while.

With Sabine no longer needing to find a meal on her own, she accompanied Meesei to the larder to help gather food. She was surprised when Meesei gathered some nicer goods for them, but she did not complain. With a sack of food over one shoulder and her bag of potions over the other, Sabine arrived with Meesei at the clearing before Fendros.

Fendros and Ahnasha's arrival came with just the same surprise as Sabine had. The smell of freshly cooked meat, vegetable, and not to mention the spices, put a pleasant smile on Fendros' lips.

"Greetings," Fendros said as he approached. "I was not aware there would be a feast set up. Is this for all of us, Meesei?"

The end of the meeting was a trail of sighs and fatigue. None showed it during the meeting for the importance of the discussion, but without food and with only occasional moments to stand up and stretch, everyone left without wanting to see another meeting for another week.

Meesei's pack was no exception. Sitting still and relaxed for long periods was not in their nature. Fendros left wishing that he had brought a cushion from the beginning. His look of momentary realisation at Meesei's query suggested he had forgotten she mentioned it that morning.

"Oh, well..." Fendros glanced to Sabine. "I suppose I am ready. Though, I didn't expect the meeting to drag on like it did. Sabine and I had planned to be underway by now."

Sabine caught up on the other side of Fendros. She smiled encouragingly. "We can still have a lesson. I would first like to eat something quickly, though."

"Ah, right," Fendros put a hand over his middle. "Good idea. I think I'll check up on Rhazii and Leaps as well. I won't be long."

"Come to the main gate when you are ready. There is a clearing we can train on." Sabine's wide eyes went to Meesei. "Is that okay with you, Meesei?"

You know, on the note of Slough and healiness, I just remembered something. Niciel gave Slough some globes of power to eat back when she was cocooned the second time. I imagine Slough was empowered by them when she woke up and trundled off again, but maybe there was some interaction there? It would be a good excuse for a push to compassion, and then a bit falling off and becoming a demigod.
