it all happened so quick.

[ex_outcry557]

Frightening? I think the word you're looking for is "exciting" — and so, just relax. It'll be fine as long as you catch up, which you will, correct?

Are you going somewhere? I wish my mun would do something with me instead of keeping me locked up in her head.

[ex_outcry557]

Who knows with that mundane of mine, even though she's rather tempted to. [ the slightest grin. ] It's like watching a cat trying to claw over the waters for fish.

[dovahkitty]

There are a lot of us around here, aren't there?

*Why is this Khajiit speaking with a Cyrodiilic accent Hello, fellow Thieves' Guild Dragonborn.*

[ex_outcry557]

[ interesting. this means she can wander off more, right? ]

The more the merrier, they say. [ and now, she can't help but ask: ] How far have you gone?

Sorry for the delay! I've been busy.

[dovahkitty]

How far...

*In his adventuring, right?*

Well...uh, I just got out of these Dwemer ruins, looking for this thing. *He pulls the Elder Scroll from his pack, holding it tightly so it didn't fall open.*

They'd hidden it with their machines and, uh... I'm still not sure how I found it.

*Read: He hit buttons at random until something happened.*

All depends on your definition of exciting, shield sister.

1/2

[ex_outcry557]

[ now here's a face she hasn't seen in a while. that's why she smiles, and it's genuine. ]

The kind of exciting that gets your heart racing, your blood boiling, and you can't help but laugh afterwards —

[ex_outcry557]

Like a fight against bandits, and you win that fight before heading off to explore another cavern and see what treasures are in it.

Isn't that exciting?

[shieldbrother]

That? Yeah, I can get behind that. But from what I hear, that's not how it usually goes. So be careful what you wish for.

[ex_outcry557]

If it's anything I wish for, familiar faces will be there too.

How have you been?

[shieldbrother]

I agree, but I haven't seen many of us around here.

Same old. No dragons lately, but we found a nest of bloodsuckers out by Pelagia Farm. Njada nearly bit it on that one.

[ex_outcry557]

[ she makes a face when he mentions "bloodsuckers" — but then, she has yet to meet serana. ]

I would ask if Whiterun is all right, but everyone's there. [ a pause, another smile. ] Did she rip it apart instead?

[shieldbrother]

[He chuckles a little softly.] Yeah, she did. And cursed about it the whole way back to Jorrvaskr.

[ex_outcry557]

[ this is the part where she laughs. ] Vampires, they appear during the worst of times.

Once, when I arrived in Solitude at night, there they were — and a dragon invited itself to the event as well.

[shieldbrother]

That's the way it always goes. You rarely get a straight-forward fight.
