Skyrim - Blood and Honor

[anubisgirl]

Zev felt worning chills down his spine, his hair was on end as well. everything was telling him that these two were more dangerous than what they appered.He knew Garths was but he still didnt like this one bit. Though taking Sonja up to the graybeards was something he was going to do anyway so he didnt see any harm in agreeing to it. "Alright, That shouldent be to heard" Though he knew that it was, convincing Sonja to do anything would be heard, he didnt even really know whare she was right now.
"We should leave before the other companions come looking for us" He really wanted to get out of there, He felt hunted here and he hated that feeling. Since he became a werewolf he had hated the feeling of beinh hunted, He loved hunting even more now but only when he was the one doing it.

Alva didnt flinch and crossed her arms infrount of her "you really want to travle on that ankle" she said sarcasticly. She could out run him now yes, and he wouldent really be able to walk on it at all once he transforms back. "the little pup dosent want to run to his brother to kiss it better"

"Ah good your both leaving. I do enjoy company but can only stand it for so long." The laugh was short ad scarp while Garret seemed opt come out o nowhere.
"So guests tonight?" He asked matter of fatly while has father didn't other glancing has way.
"Same number as every night boy or are you so short minded? The two shall be returning and you will b scooting them."
The red head looked posed to rebuke but seed to think better of it. "As you wash." A shrug was all that remained of his defiance.
This Farkas did not like, not at all. "We can find or own way it's no trouble. We know these woods well enough."
"Tis a poor host that does not see his guests out. We may live in a forest but we do not lack for common courthouses. My son shall see you safely opt I insist." Tat same full toothed smile.
Farkas was growing to hate it. However e knew haw own manners this man saved them and as seeing themes safely away regardless of how undead or want t was.
"If you two are inclined and ready to be off, I sagest now a god time" Garreth ad that signature smile back on has face Farkas growing to hate that too.


There was nothing for it ad he knew it but it didn't stop hi from snapping his jaws in furry at her comment. What he and Farkas had, regardless of it moral standing, wasn't' her oar anyone else's business. Bathe also knew se was right which made this all the more worse and his pride even more hurt.
So he slightly retracted his teeth, just little.

-6 moths later-

Finding Sonja and getting her to go talk to the Graybeard was, oddly easer than Zev had thought. He had been sure that she would have fought him all the way though apperntly even she wanted to know why she absorbed dragons when she killed one.
And when they both spoke to Parthanexx it seemed to be somewhat unspoken agreement that side wise they were on no ones but there own and the elder dragons. Both heated delphine, Zev found out soon enough that even Cicero in his crazy rantings seemed to dispize her as well, but they needed her saddly the embassey proved that. though the Brotherhood did get a new brother out of that hole thing.

Zev had also noticed that he had been geeting feelings that went beond jest friendship for Farkas, Maybe it was because they were around eachother so much now that Vilkas seemed determed to stick around Riften, They didnt know way, He jest came back after that outing they did to try and find him looking pissed at the world, more than he already was, and wouldent tell anyone what happened. Though Zev did find out he would mutter something about a elf every now and then. Why he didnt know. But he was still getting these feelings, and he didnt know if he should act on them or not, a one night stand was one thing but he worked with Farkas after all and that could get weird.

Cicero was more than exicted to have been going out with the Listener to help her, mostyl because it ment he was able to stab people and make sure that she was safe, and she eve found them a new member, he was sure the High Elf would come in handy after all if the Listener picked him then he must be useful.

Mean while Alva had to go threw getting Vilkas off her trail, what she was eventuly able to do. and was able to get that damn traider dead. and the new nighting gaile armer was a nice pluse as well. Though being the leader of the guild wasent something she really wanted, She liked stealing and didnt like having to deal with everyone one. But she did want to get them back to what they once were, so for the last two moths after that incadent she was willing to take charge, and get some good income, even did bussness with Sonja from time to time, and she was glad to hear that she had given Rojis a place to go after that hole incadent.

"You'd think with drowns returning to life people could put aside their own issues of blood and race and look up for a change." Sonja muttered while adjusting herself in Shadowmere's saddle. The black stallion gave a snort in response but walked onward without an issue. She had given Rojis an assighnment to further test his abilities, so far h had yet to disappoint her in anything but there was a first time for anything. Cicero was once more at her side, she often debased why he seemed to jump at the chance to fallow her about. She decided he just wanted to pen air, strongly enough though he didn't t seem to care where he was half the time. "Also I could hav done this on my own." She told him for the hundredth time it felt like. "I mean I did get o the emperor's ship without being detected and killed him. Being nearly deaf myself I might add." Yes this was a bit of teenage defense but hell she was proud of tat feat!
Blowing off Depine as often as possible had turned te tolerance with the other Breton to poisonous hostility and frankly Sonja didn't care. 'Let her try anything. I'll kill hr r have someone else do it.' Childish or not she dent take orders from anyone save the Night Mother.

"You saw that old man again." Farkas wasn't hiding his disapproval. He didn't like the man or his son. Especially the son who always looked at him like he knew something Farkas didn't. Okay he was used to those looked but on Garreth it made his blood boil.
"I mean do you really have to go into the woods with him all the time?" Not like he was trying to sound jealous or petty but he didn't like it. Not at all.

Normally watching a bandit afall to teir death would amuse him. But nto today no not at all. Vilkas found his mood darker and more shortened f tempter than he could ever remember it being. Typically he would blame Zev, his default as of late but that wouldn't work this time. Worse he knew it.
He blamed Alva for everything. Everything.

Cicero had been muttering to himself before the listener had spoken up. he knew that she was able to handle herslef but he was still the keeper and he was ment to keep her safe from anything and everything. "Cicero likes going out with the listener, theres always something to stab, or to set on fire." he said threw his insane grin. the freash air was nice to sometimes. "and look, i was even able to get these lovelt nighshade flowers for mother. Cicero dose hope she likes them. espicelt with the blood thats staning them" yes they did have blood splatter on them, he jest thought that made them all the nicer for there dear mother, after all only the best could be given for her.

Zev sighed he had hoped to avoide this. "Do you know anyone else that seems to know how to deal with these dragons that dosent require me to climb A mounten" he asked. True he had been going to see that weird old man, only because he seemed to know somehow what was going on and would give him advice.
Though he could do without Garreth. Zev jest, didnt trust him, He had no reasion not to but the way he looked at him sometimes made Zevs skin crawl. "you wana come this time, or go see if you can find Vilkas in a good mood for once"

]'Than why does it always feel like babysitting when even the others insist on me taking you.' She thought bitterly. Yes Marro was out there and making life a bigger hardship for them than usual but that didn't mean she needed babysitting. Rojis seemed to be the only one not insisting on her having an escort consntlaty, safety side they always wanted the clown with her. She new a few of the reasons why no one else put up with him like she did. Nor tolerated im like she id. Cicero's horse gave startled snort when Shadowmere sharply turned her head and tired to bite at it. The black mare hated her space invaded even by otter horses, probable why she needed to be stabled separately.
Demon horses what can you do.
"I was taking care of myself long before any of you were around." She had meant to say it allowed or as anger air don't need n escort everywhere go.'

"Can you tell me where to find him one." Farkas said before he could stop himself. vilkas ha been difficult even for him to conend with, not unheard of but not sense they were teenagers. "Also just something off about seeing an odld creepy mage in the woods that lives with his osn who's also a werewolf but he isn't. Just .. weird." In truth he didn't know what to make of it nor did he fully want to.

 

[anubisgirl]

"I spent fourteen f*cking years looking for you im not going to let you die while im still alive" Cicero said in an all to normal and searous tone. Sometimes this would happen he would have a fit of things that seemed sane. He then got his insane smile on his face again "Oh look Shadowmare wants to play" He sang out in his high pitched voice like the moment that jest happened didnt happen at all.

Well Zev couldent argue with that. ".....theres reports of a dragon near a village in winterhold....want to go see if we can find it and kill it instade of me going to see the old man" He asked. That did sound a lot better to him. It wasent like he was being forced to go. the old man never even said he had to ever come back, and well maybe some time away from Garreth would be good. the guy isent normal Zev could sware by that.

Alva loved that it was so easy to pickpocket. some rich b*****d from High Rock was making his way to Ceryadel and he was an easy target. He only brought one guard with him and a little sleeping potion slipped into there wine they were both out and she got herself a nice haul. This was sure to help the guild.
It would seem though that she was in for some more companey as she was making herway back to the city. Really Vilkas was not heard to detect when he was mad he sounded like a Mammth in mateing seasion. "you know, you can atract all kinds of people if your always that loud" she said once she was up in a tree so he wouldent be able to get a hold of her

 

[SinnerShadow]

That tone of voice always snapped her ot of whatever mood she was in. She whirled ot face him er expression so mixed she wants even sure what she was displaying. When he was like this she was unnerved by him and honestly afraid. It always made her rember that time his hand had been on her neck and squeezing her throat, so easily like she was a doll e could fling aside at anytime. The horses continued walking whie the islance between the two riders was getting uncofnrotnable for Sonja.
Sonja wasn't afrad to admit that Cciero scare her, truly scared her. His madness and childish behavior was so disarming she evne forgot what he was mre times than she should. 'I fear you yet I respect you.' Tat was common enough in the brotherhood but Cicero was different. 'I fear you bause I don't know what you are.' He was human of course but it was those moments of shifting tides that let her see for a brief moment the real Ccero the man tat was behind the laughter, he scard her. thse moments f seeing the madness lift and seeing the cold, hateful glare unneath it made her wonder truly wander who this person was she always braught with her.
"I dn't need a babysitter." She sid trying to recover her pride nd diginity. n truth she felt like amewling kitten in frnt of a saber cat.

"Think we can go threw the steets without you being praised as our future savior?" Farkas asked with a smile. n truth e hadn't felt to up in mood the last few motnhs. A solution to one roble created a hundred more issues it was like fightenig a hydra to many heads not enough swords.

If looks could kill Alva would have exloed from theheat vilkas threw her way. "not. Today." was all he manged with a growl. In truth n he wanst salty about her ditching him those onths back to save her rat infested Gild. He was angry he didn't get o kill the b*****d that tried to kill her. Because that was his job!

 

[anubisgirl]

Cicero was always fighting inside his mind, the real part of him, what was left anyway fighting for the little moment that he could slip out. Most of the time those moments were only for a secent before the insanatey returned and he seemed completly unaware of what had jest happened. "No no babysitting, Cicero is the keeper, and the keeper keeps" even though he was only sapost to tend to the Night mother, right now there was so few of them that everyone kind of had to take on extra jobs. they would need to get more people sooner than later if they were going to make a comeback. That was what the sain part of him says anyway, it was hearder to get that out when he was trapped in his mind most of the time.

Zev did not want to be reminded of that. he couldent go out without someone comeing up to him about being the Dragonborn and that he was going to save them all. "chances are no, im thinking on buying some land away from everyone jest so i can get away for a little while" he said. He didnt know if he really should, but a little hut someware jest for a few days of piece didnt sound so bad.

"My my someones in a bad mood" Alva said, She had taken kind of a likeing to teasing Vilkas over the past few moths, she didnt know what it was but it was a rush to her, no one else seemed to be able to challange her. "and here i thought i was going to get to have some fun. "

 

[SinnerShadow]

Having to hold er tongue sense arguing with him was pointless and headache educing. "whatever." Se muttered still not pleased with her situation though she knew given a day maybe two or even a week she'd welcome his company again.
Se was starting to feel far to flippant with her tolerance of people.
Infiltrating a fort to kill a dying warlord with poison and not beige seen or killing anyone was a bit on the high demands of her skills. She had insisted she could handle it but the others practically threw the jester on her, not physically otherwise there would have been magic going everywhere the Sanctuary. "You know I have magic to make me invisible, just me not you. Kind of how I killed the Emperor." She was finding herself once more on the wheel going round and round, she never knew when to stop when she was ahead.

"I don't know I hear Falkreath is somewhat nicer sense the Brotherhood cleared out to Talos knows where." Than again haunted forests weren't his favorite. "Unless you got a thing against haunted forests thaw .. yeah stay away form that to." Just going threw the streets now days had become such chore that just accompanying Zev had nearly made Farkas want to punch a few people the last time. "But dragon sounds good."

"Again. Not. In. The. Mood." The elf, no he refused to say her name, showed up he got ma. Thad he wanted to break or kill something. Yes that hadn't stopped them from having a roll or dozen in the bed with each other, admittedly very nice but still Vilkas would have referred her far away, from him. Forever.

 

[anubisgirl]

Cicero knew that she could use her Magic, magic was always useful, even though he couldent use magic he knew about it, well some part of him knew about it. "Oh yes Cicero knows, the listener saved the family, spared Ciceros life" even though he had her by the neck back then. "the listener can easely take cae of herself. More eyes out though mean more eyes looking for people to stab" he could try and playcate her a little. "cicero gets so bored sometimes, the laughing is everyware but no bodys to stab stab stab"
Also with him out there he could make sure that nothing happened to Sonja, even though she was acting like a spoiled brat right now. "Oh look forsowen terf Oh i hope we run into some" he said laughing, He more wanted to go up agest people that put up a challange and thr forsorn were deffently in that cagatory

Zev let out a laugh "Haunted or not if it keeps people away i might jest take up some land there" Really he would jest like a break sometimes. But there was a dragon that needed to be attacked. "Killing a dragon and a few strong drinks sound good to me"
and ofcorse jest trying to get out people stopped him. He wished he was as rude as Sonja sometimes but he jest wasent. Thankfuly anyone that wanted to hire him he jest had to say he was already doing a job and that took care of that for the most part.

Alva smirked, she always did think Vilkas was cute when he was mad "and here i was hopping for a roll with you....oh well guess ill see if anyone in Riften is up for up....since you clearly arnt" Yes she liked having a roll with Vilkas no one else seemed to be willing to be rough with her like she was some fragal doll that would break. She wasent she liked it rough and primal like how Vilkas did it.

 

[SinnerShadow]

'I'm not going to fight this anymore' Snja could tell she was losing though she hated to admit it so she bit her tongue, and her pride. Maybe if they dd see some Foresworn she could launch a few into Oblivion just to make herself feel better. "Your lying." She finally muttered out not sure if she was going sulking or annoyed, so she just went with both.
This whol Dragonborn business wasn't helping her mood ether. Get to some gient temle in the mautines so the Baldes could play instant again? Lucien told her more than once that the blades just seemed to become more incompetent as times went on. She was willing to believe it as well.
She was more surprised that Delphine and Escbern hadn't tracked her down or herd someone to bind and gag her to the Temle.
wouldn't be surprised if they did.

"Well right now I'll take froen blizrd over haunted forest." Though knowing his luck his next job would send him right there into the heart of it. Part f hi wandere where Vilkas had stormd off to in truth he hadn't seen him in a few days. nothing out fo the ordinary sense jobs would do that but his twin's moo before leaving mad hi uneasy.

"Go hang yourself in your own tree.' H spat out while moving to the slain bandit chief. Well the persn wanted proof the bandit was dead. Removing the man's head was of little coner for him though he shook it a few times to get the blood to drain out of it before putting it in a bag.

 

[anubisgirl]

Cicero smiled and hummed not letting on if he was really lieing or not. it could have very well been that forsworn thign was something he jest said like a lot of other things. But he was keeping his eyes open, even though his mind was full of laughter and voices he was going to keep Sonja safe, He knew that Maro was out there, and those blades and he didnt trust eather of them as far as he could throw them. He didnt really trust anyone with the Listener other than himself, he was there to protect her till she fully mastered her roll as there listener. even if it seems hes a bit overprotitve of her at times someone had to be. "we might be and we might not be, maybe well find out" he laughed.

Zev gave a laugh "I think i prefure sand storms over everything here" Though that could be because he had been rised in hammerfell and the airea he grew up in Sandstorms were somewhat commen. He thought they were much better than the cold anyday anyway. "So...Vilkas seem....madder than normal lately...." he said treding carfuly he didnt want to touch on anything that Farkas didnt want to talk about but he also wanted to be there for his shild brother as well.

"you wish i would do that pup" Alva taunted. Though she didnt think she would be able to get anything from the bodys, these bandits didnt look like they had much worth to them. "your way to uptight laghtly. whats wrong, Oh i think i know , you had a tast of what its like to be a real wolf, and you want more now right"

 

[SinnerShadow]

She almost wanted to snap back with how infuriating he was but knew it was pointless. didn't mean she didn't want to do it though. She held her tongue barely while she glare daggers at te road ahead of her.Sh could se the outline of the fort ahead of them. "Well looks like we're here." They weren't close but they had learned of a secret passage that would make infiltration easier and less likely to encounter the horde of mercanierys.
"it's just sliping in and replacing the medicine I got it." She wasn't budding but she knew neither was he. "give me ten minutes ot get n and out. Hell I could order you to let me but that never stops you." He always found loop holes when she order him to do smoothing when she was at the pant of n return.

"ok so now tht were out of te city limits," Farkas began while adjusting himself on si sadle. The two dire wlves were trotting at a confrotnable pac next to the horses who were becoming slowly used to the wolves presenc. "Vilkas madder than usual not sure why. He wont tell me and I'v asked on my behalf and others." In truth he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his twin.

not answering.' Vilkas ignored her while returning to his blooy work. proff of deaths wanst exactly required but she didn't need to know that. He just really wanted ot hack something to peics, again.

 

[anubisgirl]

Cicero knew that in this situation Sonja was more than able to do her job on her own, Sneeking into a fort unseen wasent that heard, espicely for her since she had her magic. "Cicero will wait here right here for Listner to return " HE said. He would not move from this spot because he wanted to be sure that jest incase Sonja needed him he could get in fast. The small logical part of his brain told him that he needed to always protect her, because she was the first Listner they had in a long time and he wasent about to go out and look for another one if anything happened to her. Well he would because he would have to, he would always do what Mother wanted.

Zev also knew that this was starting to worry Farkas, Vilkas being madder than normal and not telling anyone why. "i know he dosent like me very much...think hes mad about me...though i dont think iv ever done anything to him" He really didnt atleast he didnt think so, not recently. It was still worrying though, he didnt want to see Vilkas get killed because he was so mad that he made a sloppy mistake.

"now were playing childish games" Alva said when she didnt get a responce. she shurgged and gave a sigh. "you know the more you fight it the angryer your going to get" she said, she could tell that Vilkas needed help, alot of it, some it was hearder to deal with the wolf inside them and it was easy to see that Vilkas was deffently having some trouble. "i can help you with it. "
