Elder Scrolls Blood and Honor

[anubisgirl]

Any meal was going to help at this point, Vilkas needed the engery and even a small dear like that would give him something to run on. Her ears pirked up though as they were moving, she hurd fighting, it sounded like the hunters that were afer them, and something seemed to be taking them out. as she didnt hear the horses anymore fallowing them, and then just smelled a lot of blood in the air, and another wolf as well. this was both good for them and maybe bad if it was a feral one, she didnt think it was though. she slowed down "there not fallowing us anymore" she said meaning that they could rest for a moment and not rush.

Zev was glad that he decided to stay back and give Farkas his space, because what he came up on could make anyone sick. He didnt look at the carnage for long, and knew that as a werewolf Farkas was dangerous but, knowing it and seeing it was teo deffernt thing. he thought about what to do next, and decided to just let Farkas find Vilkas, he would only slow him down and might get hurt if he were to stay, so he decided to leave this blood bath, knowing that with all the blood Farkas would be easy track but no one was alive left to fallow them.
That didnt mean couldent be fo help still, by making a camp and doing some hunting because he was sure that farkas would be hungry after this, he rode away, far away from the carnage. he got three and a half miles away, and was able to find a clearing that he could set up in, and gathered wood for a fire, freash water as the river was close by, and he set up a tent to keep the cold out. he was sure that Farkas would be able to smell his fire over the other one, as it was farther away and when he found Vilkas he knew that he could bring him there to rest if he needed it.

Vilkas reconized the sent immedatly and gave a light bark as he stopped to breath and wait. Vilkas was large in wolf form but Farkas dwarfed him as he did to Alva. The massiv emautine of fur and muscle burst threw the snow laden branches, covered in blood and snow. Vilkas moved to his back legs and Farkas came to a skidding halt balrey five feet form Alva, looking ready to kill.
Despite how massive he was the larger wolf was athis twins side in a n isntnat makign what could only be described as happy yipes, though still comign out as growls.He sniffed and nodged him insesntily to where Vialks had to bite him lightly ont he ear to make him stop.
Farkas had been ready to kill the other wolf he saw, he didn't reconze it but stopped when he saw his brother, semingly hurt but alright. The other had stepped aside to let the two of them reunite and Farkas felt hismelf calm learnign his twin alive and safe.
It was only when he finally focuesdon the other wolf did the scent become vaugally familair. The wood elf .....His instinct told him more than what he could come up for hismelf and it amde more sense than he was confrotnable with. She was injured too he noticed and despite her not beign one of teir pack she styaed with his borther and kept him going.... why he was speculating on.
Despite being dwarfed and out numbered Vilkas felt a degree of admiration towards alva she stood her gorund confidnelty and defiently, evne against a wolf severle times her size, not to mention his brother. She was neither submissive nor dominent in this moemtn but made it clear she'd be styaing near him, Farkas was beginnign to connect te dots he could tell.
Farkas looked down at the wood wolf sniffing the air for a few tense moment than. "Thank you." In a oice far more gentle than hsi massive size and bloody visage would haveinspired.
"Alva ... thank you." Adressing her name evne in some degree of pricavy was not unheard of but not common between them. But he was honst in his gratitude she had every opperutnity to leave him behidn to die and save herself yet she styaed.  

[anubisgirl]

Once Alva got the sent and figured out it was Farkas she did back off, though she would not be submissive, she was never submissive but she did know that they were in the same pack and she was not so she would give the space that the two needed withough showing that she was not going to intrude on them.
she gave a huff when Farkas thanked her, she knew that she could have left at any moment and left Vilkas to die but she got him into this and she was not going to let anyone die on her watch. "it was my idea, wasent going to let him die for my mistake" she said to him.
She did notice that there was a camp fire that had started, and there was the smell of cooking as well. Fish it smelled like she knew that it could just be a hunter but she didnt trust that it was that simple. But there could be potions that they could use at the same time and it was getting heard to stay in wolf form with her injery, though Vilkas must be much worse than her.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Zev fallowed me. He didnt see me change but its him at the camp." Farkas explained so boht would be less on edge, Vilkas form was already beginning to give way Farkas could nnly guess at the wood wolfs state but she looked exhausted as well.The shifting back into a human form was pain evne more so with etreme exhaustion Vilkas let out a pained gasp once it was over and Farkas immedatly had his head and neck under his brother to keep him up.
Vilkas couldnt bring himself to care that Zev was there, he was to toried and to hurt to care about much of anyting right now. "Alva, you need rest consider it an attmept at evening the debt for not leaving me." He breahted havily and was fighting losing consciencess.
Farkas wanted to ask, he wanted to ask aobut a lot but now wasn't the time. In truth he owed the wood wolf a debt for his brother life and he would repay it evne if Vilkas payed her.
"For hleping him, please..."Farkas asked always unsure how to speak to other werewolves, evne civil ones.Vilkas was already out, his breahting shallow but steady, and evne on all four Farkas easily dwarfed the other two combined. He was also the most fit to fight of the three right now, which would hopefully detoru anything else form bothering them.  

[anubisgirl]

Alva had planed on going off on her own, making it hearder for the both of them to be tracked just incase there was others tracking them. She could find a place to rest on her own and she didnt feel like she needed to be repayed....than again there might be something that the dragonborn had that was worht something. Not to mention she could give Sonja an update on him if she wanted it so she would rest for a little while. " Alright" she agreed and she only shifted back once they were closer to the camp colapsing in the snow from the pain and her wound on the side of her hind leg opening up once again.

Zev had cooked some salmen he cought for himself and was wondering if Farkas had found Vilkas. he didnt like to feel usless but he knew when he couldent do much and when he could. Right now all he could do right now was have a warm camp set up for when they returned and a palce to rest and recover if they were hurt.
He hurd the crunch of snow in the trees and though he knew it could be anything the crunch was to heavy to be anything small, meaning that it could ether be Farkas in his wolf form, or something else like a saber cat. He hoped that it wasent a saber cat but just oncase it was he took hold of his sword ready to deffent himself incase one was a ttracted to the smell of cooking food.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Hey just me and uh I have company."Farkas said coming into Zev's line of sight with Vilkas, a very battered and bloody Vilkas, on his back and an injured and limping wood elf. He could only imagen the scene they looked but none of them were in a laughing mode. The Wood Elf trailed just bheind him, etheir from fatigue or caution as he made his way to the fire with the unconcience form of his brother.
He had been filled in by Alva on the walk, what she;d been willing to share anyway. He had an idea thanks to her of Vilkas injuries and yes they worried him, one becuase the silvr had been in his blood stream longer than i should ahve been. Two Zev was present and it would raise more complications and queshtons than he was willing to deal with right now. Alva had made a rahter to the point well, point of tending to some of the injuries before they set off. If only to prevent the obvious wounds form being to obvious. Though they had been limited in what they could use so it was shreaded peices of cloth that was used to hold the wounds, which were bleed threw.
He wans't sure how to intorduce Alva, than again he didn't evne know who or what she was at the moment etheir. He'd settle for aquitance for the moment, he only refered to her by name becuase Vilkas had mentioned otherwise he'd probalby just called her elf.
"He'll be fine I just need to take care of him for a bit. um this is Alva, she's a contact of Vilkas's." It was all he could really say as he was more busy checking on the slowly helaing wounds on his twin. The one on his hand wasn't closing well, barley even helaing, and it was still seeping blood evne with a bnadage. The hole was large, at least the size of an apple.  

[anubisgirl]

Zev relaxed hearing Farkas but he became worried seeing the state Vilkas was in, He had some healing potions and poultices but he didnt have enough to heal everything that Vilkas had. Still he was sure that a little was better than nothing. "Farkas theres some clean wrappings and poultices in the saddle bag. Ill get the spare bed roll for him" he said as he got the bed roll to help Vilkas keep warm and he was sure that Farkas would use most of the healing items for Vilkas, He was able to get one for the wood elf though, he recanized her as the one that came to see Vilkas earler, he didnt know what the two had but they seemed to be something more than just aquantices.
" Here this should help your leg" he said tossing it to her and she cought it with little effort.
Well this was going to save her the trouble of stealing it. And looking at the camp it didnt seem like they brought much, well they were lucky this time. "Many thanks, you wouldent happen to have anything else to eat as well would you" she asked as she applied the poultice on her leg, it stung but she knew that ment it was working, and she could really go for any kind of food as well.
"Theres just some salmen left that your free to eat. I was about to go out hunting when you showed up" Zev explaned and wondered if he still should go out or not, Farkas was there and he was sure that he could handle anything that did show up. unless it was a dragon ofcorse, but it also ment that he couldent get anything he couldent carry back on his own. "Farkas you got everything undercontrol here"

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Yeah I got it." Farkas responded as he worked to get Vilkas into some freahs bandages. Vilkas was alive and that's all he cared about right now, his breahting was shallow but even whcih meant his body was fianlly able to start helaing itself without to much stress. It was only after Zev had left and was out of ear shot that the real conversation started.
"So what happened to him? I saw the village and the bodies that's how I tracked you. How'd they find you two?" Farkas asked the woof elf without turning around. He could smell her presence and knew she was taking Zev up on the free salmon, not that he blamed her. The other thing he wanted to ask was, what were they to each other becuase though he may be dense he was more observant than others gave him credit for. Though now wa sharldy a good time to ask. Vilkas gave a strngled sound which drew his atteniton but relaxed when he noted that thehelaing was fianlly happening, slow but happening.  

[anubisgirl]

Alva swallowed the mouthfull she had and could feel herself already starting to heal. She should have guessed he wanted to know, she wanted to know herself. "Someone fed me bad information, I was told that the silverhand was going to meet a group from Valinwood that i had some run in with in the past and didnt want them to get allies from compatant hunters" she said as she crossed her arms. " we only realised to late that it was a trap, they injered him, made us transform, and well you saw what happened" she informed the larger twin.
"Know that this was not the out come i wanted. I want those bastards dead as much as Vilkas dose" she made that clear that she would not have come and brought Vilkas if she had any idea that this was a trap.
She could sence that he wanted to know more though, know what they were to one another and just wasent saying anything. "As for what we are, I deal in getting things, sometimes information, since the silver hand affects both of us i give him a discount on the information i get on them, but yes sometimes we do bed togather, that is what you want to know isent it" she wasent going to shuger coat it at all and tell the other what he wanted to know to get any tention out of the air.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Well he did ask, now he got to live with it.
"Alright." He said akwardly coughing as he finished dressing the wounds and making sure Vilkas was as comfrntable as he could. He sat himself next to Vilkas and near the fire while him and Alva had a silent stare down. "Planning on leaving beofre he wakes up?" He ased matter of factly, normally he'd be quit and barley utter a word but his brother was inured and thus he was left in the protector role.

She had done her best to ignore him. The first several times, she pretneded to ignore his presence but frankly she was getting annoyed. "Why are you fallowing me? Don't you know you could be consdiered a stalker for this?" She turned and glared in the direction she knew he was. "If you have something you wnat ask just ask, Im not enjoying the puppy treatment."
Sonja was annoyed one that it seemed if she didn't have Cicero tailing her she had one fo the others, usually Arjoan. Though the two did it for different reasons, Arbejon for Astri and Cicero for she could only guess.  

[anubisgirl]

"Belive it or not that is actuly normal, me leaving before he wakes up" Alva said, it wasent a lie ether she often was gone before Vilkas was awake unless there was more to desscuse. "Besides it well be hearder to track me if im alone, i can move threw the trees easer without harming any of them" like most wood elfs could the normal trackers had a heard time tracking them.

Cicero wasent really trying to hide that he was fallowing her, this was more to get out of the sanchuary and away from everyone more than anything, also have an eye out and see how things were going. "Oh Listener even Cicero needs some freash air " he said laughing as he walked behind her. "Lots to do as well, lots and lots to do, planting information, finding out information. killing people in the process, so much fun to be had" he had given her a hint at what they were going to be doing, planting some information, it wasent the big thing they needed to plant at the moment but every little bit helped, it was just a devertion plan for some soulders, but it would mean there would be less around when they had to be in some towns that they would also have been in at the time.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"You know when i go for midnight walks in the woods. it's usually becuase I don't feel like disucssing work if only for five minutes." Gabrella and Bobbete were handleing the inforamtion, she was at present on stand by and assistant to Festus in his enchanting, wich she didn't mind. He was perhpes the more openy pleased with the situaiton out of everyone save for Gabrella who was politly morbid as always.
Also you don't fallow someone in the woods late at night multiple times just becuase you fee like it.
She though while eyeing him carefully. "What do you want?" She asked plainly, her patience ffor games was at an all time low. She had made a point to leave such games behidn her but despite her effeorts she was in antoehr one. "I'm not talking about work related ehtier, what od you acutlaly want by fallowing me out here? Dout it the scenery this place is horrid."

More than he wanted to know, way more but he walked into it. "Fine." Was all he said just as Zev walked back into camp. Vilkas was out cold, sleeping deeply and helaing, Farkas made a pin to cover him wiht the blanket so it would be hidden. "Any luck" He asked Zev who looked like he got maybe a rabbit or two. "Vilkas is fine, sleepign and will be grouchy when he gets up. but fine." Vikas was the worst peron when he was hurt or sick he loathed anyone takng care of him and would deny until he was all but dead that he needed help.  

[anubisgirl]

That was a good question, what did Cicero want, well his sanaty would be nice but he couldent have that for fear of something far worse taking over. "Well for one i want things to go back to how they should be" he answered, and it was vauge enough to not give away his plan but it did answer the question as to what he wanted. "and to give people to our dear father ofcorse, staby staby staby" keep them off the trail and get Sonja on his side, he didnt want to have to have to go threw another perge but if that is what is needed then he would do so.

A rabbet wasent much but it was something and Zev just wished that there was more around, but it was cold and there were other predaters around so it only made sence that there wasent much. "Its something atleast i guess" he said as he skinned the white animal, he could get something from one of the Kajhit caravans for the pelt this white he knew that much so why not keep it. he had already gutted it in the woods so it was ready to just rost once it was done being skined.
Alva debated satying but they were sitting targets there. and her leg did feel better already and she had eaten the rest of the fish so she had the engery to leave. "Thank you for the food and poultice but I should be going, I have people that will start missing me if i do not return soon" she said with a small bow "Tell Vilkas ill be in touch when he wakes up" and before anyone could say anything she was up in the trees and gone.
Zev was going to let her stay for a while longer but he guessed that some people were just loners. "Well i hope she knows what shes doing" he said as he put the rabbit on to roast over the fire. "How is he doing" he asked.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"He'' be fine now any longer might have had problems." Farkas shrugged and leanedback against the log that wasnext to the fire. He wasn't hunry the very htought of food right now was nausiating, more than not becuase he aet a couple of people. "He'll be able to travel when he wakes up, try and stop." He laughed lightly while letting himself slowly ad fianly relaxe. He was ehausted himself but wouldnt allow the full effect to take him, he still had to get his brother home. There were a few minutes of very strained silance between them, the sound of the fire, Vilaks lightly snorign and the wind were all tat surronded them. "You saw what I did." It wasn't a qushton, he knew he looked bloody and a mess. Alva hadn't said anything becuase she was just as bloody and battered as Vilkas. However Zev knew by looking at him when he came itno camp what happened. "I want you to know that .. tha'ts not a normal thing for me. I"m .. normally more controlled." It sounded more like a pathetic exuse in honest truth, but really he had little else to offer.

"As you've said every other time I"ve asked you."She turned and resumed walking and noted he continued right along in step with her. Things back to the way they should be sure and than maybe she would eventually have some peace in her life that wans't controlled by someone or something else. They walked n silance threw the forest, she had a destination in mind while he seemed content ot just fallow. It was only when she reached the clearing, well her clearing if she wanted ot be honest where the flock of crows resided. "Family buisness aside for once." She said simply and with an edge of steel to her oice as she turned and faced him fully. "What do you want?" Her voice was evne, level an cold and she looked him dead in the eye she refused to blink or breka contact. Se kept herself rooted and stared him down. "This isn't a family matter so I'll ask plainly once again what do you want?"  

[anubisgirl]

Zev wasent going to bring that up at all, he didnt want to but he did tell himself it was just because Farkas was worried about his brother. Farkas was bringing it up though so he might as well talk about it. "you were worried about Vilkas, its why i didnt fallow you though, I got the feeling you wouldent have been able to tell it was me" it might have been a smart move on his end for doing that and getting a safe place ready instade. "But...i belive you when you say thats not normal...there are some times...i just want to burn someone, show them my domanince, i think its the dragon soul in me coming up but i understand."

Cicero hummed to himself as he walked, he wasent lieing to Sonja when he said that, it was the truth but he knew she was to smart for that. and it seemed he was cought "Maybe cicero dosent trust the pretender not to try anf kill the listener" that was the first time he made any clame that Astrid might try and kill Sonja and he was sure that it would happen if he did not have a close watch on her. 'also listener still walks to loudly " he said with a grin on his face as the crows flew away.
