Skyrim - Blood and Honor

[SinnerShadow]

"Oh alright than." For a breif moemnt she wans't entirley sure what to do with herself. Really there wasn't anything to do in the Sanctuary to begin with, well not presenlty anyway. Bobbette was in the corner mixing some potions with what ingrdients they had been able to scavenge. Cicero typcially was with the Night Mother while Nazir was usually the one making their food. Really the Brotherhood despite surviving was left in a state of bordem and nothingness. "There's .. nothing going on?" She asked stupidly despite knowing that really there wasn't anything. The Night Mother hadn't given her anything. There wasn't any place to even go off on one's own to do anything, the Sancturary was a total mess and the hallways that were usable and not collapsed wre empty and dark.
They needed more light. And well some actual furniture that wasn't borken and termite ridden.

"Actually it's not tht bad this year, just a bit colder I guess but I'm used to it." Farkas shurgged than thaught for a moment. "Though the dragons aren't common." He added after a bit. Without Vilkas there he felt lost for the most part but had always been able to hide it by busying himself with other things to get past and ignore for a time the seperation form his twin.Though he was hopeing Vilkas would be alright with the worsenign whether that seemed t be sweeping the provinance.

Nothing to do that was reduiclus, well to Cicero it was but then again he had a lot of things talking to him and laughing in his head. "Oh oh Listener theres lots to do Cicero can go find someone to toucher if that will entertane the listener" he said. That would be fun for everyone, He could abduct someone and Sonja could toucher them and they would have something to keep them all amused, atleast until the suplise came to start making there home a little more homie. "Oh Or if Listener is tired after her long trip and would rather rest Cicero could make the listener something hot to eat. Anything for the listener"

This was jest a little colder. Zev was already thinking of getting another fur for his bed and this was normal. He really shouldent be suprised he figured. "Belive me Dragons arnt the best thing to fight ether" He said grabbing the nearest bottle of Mead he could reach and took a long drink of it. He thought about telling Farkas that Sonja was also a dragonborn, but he then thought maybe he shouldent go around saying anything since he didnt even know if Sonja wanted to do anything about this. He would ask if there was something to do, or if Farkas wanted to go hunted but fighting dragons arnt exactly easy. He did want to do something though. Well he could think of something to do but he could exactly come out and say it. "I could unwind, you want to go see if thats anything going on" he asked the Nord.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"I don't tortue." Sonja responded a little more hesitently than she probalby should have. Out of all the members presnelty living she had never been in torture session, giving it or recieivng it. Considering the years of experiance everyone had over her and despite being their leader she felt oddly small and childish for the acknoledgment. Nazir was out possilby aquiring a new recruit and Bobette was osmehwere in theSancturary or out gahtering herbs. Which left her alone with the jester, which was strange.
"Do you just .. take care of her all day than?" She asked glancign over at the coffin and senserly wondering what exaclty he DID during the day. Aside form his duties as keeper she codlnt actulaly think of anything else she'd seen him do other than saving her that one time ..

"There's always small jobs but you just got back you dont' have to head out again. Unless you want to do pest control in someone's cellar." Farkas offered sense that was a job currently available. No one wanted ot do as it seemed far to beneaht them.

Vilkas was so tempted ot murder the contracter whnever he saw them next. He did the job than the b*****d had the nerve to ask him to run an errand for him! Deliverign the message to hiscousin in the acutlay damn town of Winterhold! That freezing dead end pace never got any job fo the compaions and Vilkas was tmpted to keep it that way.
But gold was gold.

 

[anubisgirl]

Cicero laughed and for a moment it seemed like he didnt hear what was asked at all. "Ofcorse, thats what the keeper dose. takes care of mother" granted this was a little deffernt than what would normaly be done but there wasent much choise now. Though he had been trying rewringt what was needed and expected from a keeper should he ever get unlucky enough to die, they would need another one and they would need to know how to properly take care of there dear mother. "Ofcorse cicero is also here for the listener what ever the listener wants cicero will do"


Zev took another long drink "someone else can do that" he said. He didnt want to run pest control "why cant we ever get a job that requiers us to taste Mead and Ale...now thats something id be willing to do right now" He finished off the drink he had gatten. "I might as well get out of this armor, i dont plan of fighting any more dragons tonight" he didnt really plan on going anyware outside the city "so guess its staying in and getting drunk" he felt killing a dragon was a good excuse to get drunk.

She was going to kill him, Alva was going to see to it that he suffered for betraying her and leaving her to die. She should have senced something but Mercer had been as far as she knew someone that knew how to get things done atleast. And everyone was shocked finding out about that back stabber.
Why was it so damn cold to, It didnt help that she was still hurt, she didnt have her horse because that bastarded had killed it. so now she had to walk. or fall sometimes, yes she was deffently going to kill him and eat his corps when she got a hold of him. "ug" she cough herself before her face hit the heard cold floor. this was going to slow, the next person that came by with a horse she was taking that horse.

 

[SinnerShadow]

The road was long, lonely and admittidly boreing. Vilkas felt his horse give an annoyed shake as it flicked the snow off its ears and mane. The roads were kept margonally well cleared though depending on the road you traveled. The horses hooves made light vclunking noises as it trotted down the road while Vilkas kept an eye and ear otu for bandits. The snow made the varies sents of creatures and people harder to detect but as of now he occaisoanly smelt a hair or the old trail of a saber cat.
The sent of blood wasn't somehtin he fully excpected.
It was a way up the raod and though the horse seemed aware of it the mare made no atempt to shy away, much to Vilkas's relife. Up a ways and as the smell got stronger he noticed a body a bit from the road and his first inpulse was that aa bandit had jumped the poor sot. However the sent he got made him realize it wa sht eWood Elf. Pine trees mixed with seqer and lether with a tinge of feral thrown in. Tightenignt he reigns he was tmepted o just leave her there were in his mind she belonged, her fate she braught on by herself with her own actions and life style.
But even with his mind made him he halted and coudnt bring himself to leave the elf vexed and irratated him to no end. Every attmept he made to end her life failed iwht her slipping threw his fingers. And thus if he allowed the elements to kill her ... No.
Growling low and angelry in his throat he swung off the horse and made his way to her. "Elf." He said but there was no response. He got closer yet was careful withhis hand on his sword handle, he didn't doubt she'd try and rob him here. But apon clsoer inspection and the blood had defienly been her's and she was out cold, and she would die here. "I should leave you." He told her unconcscience form but than he knelt down and careuflly turned her over to examine the feild pathc job on her neck and body. Only to carefully pick her up and carry her back ot the horse.
"And now I have to take care of you as well." He growled while situtaitng her in fornt of him so he could ride with her .

 

[anubisgirl]

Alva was sure that she was going to be dead, that she would be left on the road and join in the endless hunt. But when she started to be come aware again she noticed that there was a lack of cold. and the sound of fire, That didnt make sence unless someone came by and rescued her but he didnt think anyone one. Most there were not kind to Elfs.
The next thing she noticed was thatshe was still breathing so she wasent dead. She growned and opened her eyes. She saw the fire that someone built.Sge growned as she sat up putting her hand on her hip to see with a dagger attached to her belt, she didnt know who had dragged her here and she was going to be ready for a fight if it came

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Awake fianly." Vilkas more commented than asked. He had bene forced to take shelter in a small cave due to a heavier snowstorm than he felt confrotnable traveling in, escpieally with an unconscience elf. The cave mouth was away enoughto where snow didn't come ina nd get them orthe fire he had made. The horse he had wa evne able to seek shelter inside which was an added bonus, buying horses wasn't cheap evne for aCompaion. he had debated a few times in takign the elves weapons form her so as to nto deal with her possibly robbign him or shooting him in a small fit of hysteria.
But he decded agaisnt it , well except for her bow. He wasn't lettign her have that with the mind set she probalby had.
"Your bow's fine as well, I'm holding it so you don't shoot my when my back is turned." Though her being able to stab him in the back was very likely but given her injuries he'd hea rher long beofre she'd evne get close.

 

[anubisgirl]

Alva removed her hand from her Dagger, She didnt need it she knew that if Vilkas was going to kill her he would have by now. "You dont have to worry, your not the one i want to shot in the back" she said. She didnt have time to rest any more. Though she knew she should rest and be at her full streath but she wanted to go and get to him. "Thanks for pulling me out of the snow but i cant stay and play with you this time." She wanted to get to Mercer before he had a chance to get away.
Looking out the moth of the cave though it was clear she wouldent get to far "Dammit its like the weather is on that bastards side" she growled out. Maybe if she reansformed she could get threw it but she didnt know how well that would work with her being injered at the moment

 

[SinnerShadow]

Vilkas would normally never care or give much interest in a Thieves line of work or their persoanl issues and right now was hardly an exception. "Whoever you want to kill will be dealing with the whether as well and they'll be hindered by it. So relaxe." He said simply going back to sharpenign hsi sword again now that she was awake. "Also wouldn't recommend transforming." He said as if reading her thaughts. "our to injuried and plus I ran into a bit to many Vigilent of Standar int he area so I wouldn't risk it." Whoever the elf had it out for would ehtier die of the elemtns or a saber cat if there was any justice in this world, but there wasn't. "Here." He said tossing his waterskin to where she sat. "Just water and it's not poisoned."

 

[anubisgirl]

Though all that was true Alva knew that Mercer would be dealing with this weather as well. But she still wanted to get closer to that b*****d. Still she wouldent have much chance if she was weak from being injered. Water sounded good right now to, She sniffed the water still to see if there was any hint if poision, force of habbet before taking a drink of it. "what are you doing out here anyway" she asked. This wasent the companions neck of the wood and it was rare for anyone of them to be around. She didnt even like being around there all that much, she jest had her reasions to be there at the moment.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Vilkas thaught about answering her queshton with a queshton sense he could speculate till the moon turned red aobut why she was up there but she wouldn't tell him. "Job which I'm assuming is the same for you." He settled on after awhile had gone by in silance save for the howling wind just outside the cave. The whether was slowly getting worse and he had no doubt that bieng outisde tongiht was a deaht sentance even with their presnet sheter it wasn't going to be pleasent. "Though last I checked thieves don't usually stab each other in the bakc unless I'm givingyou far to much credit./"

Evven deep underground she could feel the chill from the outside seeping into the very stone of the Sanctuary. Thye fire they had going was helping keep the cold at bay but she didn't fancy the idea of having to possilby go out in the whether also Nazir wasnt' bakc yet ehtier. She told herself it was a number of things the whether being the most obvious and previlent but a part of her feared that he had been caught and killed.
"Worried." Bobbette had appared at her side which made the Breton wan't tojump slihglty in suprise agian bad assassin form on her part.
"Alittle." She admitted. finally.
"Don't be Nazir can take care of himself and he has been gone far longer before." The vampire child simply gave her a smile and wandered off as soundlessly as she had entered.

 

[anubisgirl]

Normaly when the two of them were alone likr it it was filled with witty insults and trying to kill one abother, this time though Alva felt it was okay to skip that part. "Notmaly no, we usaly let the brotherhood handle the killing stuff. This time though...the person not only wronged me but the hole guild, the b*****d isgnt going to get away with that if i have anything to say about it" and she wouldent, She should have senced something was wrong sooner but she didnt, She should have seen something like this comeing. "But i wouldent expect someone like you to understand" maybe if she got lucky the weather will kill Mercer and all she had to do was find that b*****d body, though she knew that luck would not be so kind to her in that aspect.

Next Day

Vilkas had lareayd gottne into a sevrle arguemnts with the She-Elf apon waking up and attmpting to set out again. Though he hsoudl have let her wander off on her own to get killed or whatever he didn't, which was what he was currently pondering as he walked with herdown the road to Winterhold with the horse between them. Well more accuralty she was slouthced somehwat ont he saddle while insisitngon wlakign while he held on the the reighsn and all valubles so she coudlnt make off with them.
"The saddle is right there woemn." He said after aobut an hour of the slow wlakign that was starting to get on hsi nerves.The wlak was slow with the whteher but evne slower wiht her injuries. The wounds he ocudl smell along with the plutices and the posien that had been used on her, it was all enough to make him want toshove her away just to clear his nose.
But he didn't do that etheir.
"If you get int he saddle we'll be there faster." He growled out while shuffling and kcikign snow off hsi boots.

 

[anubisgirl]

"It would also be faster if i jest stole your horse" Alva said, and tecanly that would be true the only reasion she didnt was because Vilkas could track her easely enough and she wouldent be able to fight back while she was like this. "Once we get there you wont have to deal with me, atlset for a few weeks" She didnt plan on having any help other than this, She needed to do this herself. "and i can walk, jest slowly....iv been in worse situations, Iv been doing this since before you were born" she had been turned young so her hole life she had to deal with surviing and she had been hurt in the past so really she wasent new to this sort of thing. "not the thief thing, the wolf thing. what you are still fighting for some reasion" she didnt understand why Vilkas was fighting it so much, she knew for some it was hearder but she had tryed to help him see it wasent a bad thing though she should have guessed he would be stubern.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"You could try and steal it but you woulnd't get very far." Vilkas knew even woudned she could but whether she got all that far was another matter entirley. "As for the beast blood mine isn't your cocnern Elf." It was hard enough dealign with Zev and Aela's utterly enthralment with the blood and Farkas he new fallowed hims imply because that was his nature and not because of hiw own opinions on it. Vilkas was latley wondering if he himself .. truely detested it or he was doing it all to be a good little nord. That thaught wasn't conforitng though.
"And where exaclty do you plan on going for the next frew weeks? Lik that to more precise?" He vaugally indicated, though she coudlnt see becaue of the chestnut mare between them, towards her wounds. "If a preditor doens't pick you off a bandit will."
But like she said she was a big girl and a big she wolf she coudl take care of herslef well enough he knew. Didnt stop him form makign a poitn of obersercation though.
