Janius paused for a moment, weighing up how long it would take to dig enough graves as apposed to building pyres. He figured that it would take most, if not all of the day anyway, so his pause ended a quick "Very well" before he walked off to begin.
Meesei's next order came as one that made Sabine inherently uncomfortable, though the only way she showed the discomfort was to nervously glance to one side for a moment. This was not the first time that Meesei had tried to get information about her, but she had not had one of these talks for a long time. This was probably going to be about the apothecary. Sabine suddenly wished that she hadn't told so much already.
Down by the water, Fendros almost finished rinsing his leggings before he noticed Ahnasha's staring. It was a little odd to Fendros. Last night, the message was clear in her face that she wanted to be comforted, but here Fendros just felt like he was being... inspected. It was not malign by any means, but it was still strange. Holding his laundry still, Fendros squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Ahna, what are you staring at?"

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!

Well, interesting, but maybe drawn out. You know how Sabine is :) .
Sabine nodded, then took a potion to Lorag as requested. Having heard every one of Meesei's words, he gurned and snatched the potion from Sabine as she held it out. "Yeah, yeah, I can take a hint." he said before drinking the potion down.
Even with everyone who ate their meat raw finishing their meal before him, Fendros took his time with his breakfast. The mood had completely turned around through the entire pack now that Meesei was no longer under serious threat. He felt as if the wish he had made when cleaning his face and hands last night had for the most part come true. After breakfast, he ran down a list in his mind of what he needed to do today. There were a number of things; searching the cave for anything useful, fletching some more arrows if he could not find many more amongst the dead hunters, searching for alchemical ingredients for Ahansha's medicine, though now that search might encompass remedies for Janius, Lorag and Meesei's wounds as well. For now, though, he wanted to clean the dirt and grit off of his clothing and equipment.
Janius began to rise along with Fendros after his meal, now that he was fully awake. "I'll see about building a pyre for the bodies that we can't preserve, no use in them rotting in this place."
Fendros carried his various belongings up to the edge of the pool to start cleaning them when he spotted Ahnasha soaking in the middle of it, looking so relaxed it was as if she had just taken moon sugar. Fendros smiled, he hadn't really thought to bathe, probably because he wasn't covered in nearly as much blood as Ahnasha was by the end of yesterday. "Is the water nice?" He asked her while squatting and washing blood spatters from his vest.

"Clavicus Vile," Fendros repeated to himself. He cast his mind back to the book of Daedric princes that his father kept. Clavicus vile was a mischievous and silver tongued Daedra. One who conned and misled. Apart from that, the only thing that Fendros could glean from the book was the diagram depicting a small horned man by a dog. It had seemed to be the least threatening of all the Daedric princes, but that was likely part of his act. It was a Daedra after all, there would have to be power involved. To think that this was erupting into a war was cause for concern, but with what Meesei said about them all playing a role, he couldn't help but think that there would be very few things able to stop them after they had been through hunting this Orc. Fendros was still lukewarm towards Hircine, but he felt there would be no harm in trusting in the judgement he seemed to have.
With Ahnasha reaching for the meats Janius had prepared the night before, everyone seemed to be reminded that they were hungry as well. Breakfast ensued as each pack member collected a portion for themselves in turn. Fendros and Janius lightly roasted theirs as usual, Fendros keeping himself from drooling at what Ahnasha was eating as they sat next to each other while he waited for his breakfast to cook. Sabine offered Meesei a portion to eat as well, sparing her the trouble of getting up.
It didn't take long before the smell finally caused Lorag to stir. Funnily enough, his injury had not taken away his humour as he beheld Meesei. "Aww, we couldn't quite get rid of ya, huh?" He said with a grin and well-meaning sarcasm.
"So, Meesei," Fendros started as his curiosity rose, "Tell us more about this audience you had with Hircine. Did he say anything else?"

Ah, cool beans then.
Mmmmnyeah... about that... are you still having those painful download speeds? If so you should probably spare a few days of download time if you really want to get TF2. It's a fun game, but yeah, kinda large.
Minecraft, probably less painful.

"Champion? Meesei, that means..." Janius began to chuckle, impressed as he was happy to see her alive, "That is extraordinary news. Just to think, chosen by Hircine himself."
As Sabine complied in finding another healing potion for Meesei, Fendros began to awake to the voices in the cavern. He took a deep breath through his nose and looked to Ahnasha near him, and then to what she was looking at. Meesei was awake, and she had the strength to talk. Fendros smiled and sighed in relief as if he had known all along that she would be alive. He slowly shifted himself up to lean on one elbow. "Meesei, how are you feeling?" Fendros asked with a gravely tired, but still upbeat voice, having not heard the previous words completely.
As Sabine rifled through her collection of potions, she pulled out a few healing potions, as well as a magicka potion and another regeneration potion. The second and only remaining regeneration potion she had was smaller and less effective, but the regeneration potions were only meant to be used in emergencies anyway. She made a mental note to try and find ingredients to brew another of them to help treat Meesei.

Hahah, the lag might be a bit sheer from the other side of the planet.
But now that you mention it, it wouldn't do any harm to entertain the idea. The multiplayer games I sometimes play are Team Fortress 2, Age of Empires (I, II and III), Minecraft and Trackmania Nations Forever. I don't really get as many chances to play them due to studies, but I'm on my mid-semester break, so things are fairly free. If you wanted to try and set up a game tonight, though, I can't guarantee I won't suck due to being tired.
Anyway, time to write up a post.

Cool.
I played a lot of CS:GO. My friends managed to convince me to pay the fifteen bucks for it and it ended up being a lot of fun. I even ended up winning a round of arms race at one point. After that we played this Mario Kart mixed with Need for Speed game called Blur. You apparently can't get it anymore but they managed to crack an old copy of it. That was a bit nuts, but also fun.
Apart from that it was mooching a few movies from my friend's server, one of which I'm currently watching, and making pizza. A night well spent after dealing with my relatives earlier that day.

Just came home from a LAN party, and it looks like I'll be staying up for a bit. Seeing as it's about 4 AM here anyway, I may as well stay up for the rest of the night and watch films between writing posts.
