Skyrim RPG - (Shadowfax and Baya) [Closed]

Arya ignored this jibe. She was getting used to Rashad's un-trusting and was no longer taking it to heart. Not that she ever let it bother her that much in the first place. One they got to the inn she gave a sigh of relief. A night in a bed and some food would do her wounds the world of good. Arya watched the horse walk lazily into the stable and turned back to Rashad.

"This inn does a good meal, if you've got the coin" She said leading the way.

Due to her wound, Arya was now limping slightly, though it caused her great discomfort she tried not to let it show. Showing signs of weakness was not something she did. She opened the door to the inn and they were greeted by the smell of fresh meat roasting by the fire and three others were in the lobby, dancing to a bard's songs. The sight made Arya feel welcome so she walked towards the bar.

Arya looked over to the corner and for a split second thought she saw someone, or something. In the time she thought this however, it was gone. Growling under her breath she looked back at the barman.

"Good evening milady. How can I help you this evening? Meal for two? Perhaps a room?" He asked cheerfully.

"Two seperate rooms and some bread and soup" Arya said, tossing the man a small pouch of gold coin.

The barman nodded and held his tongue, assuming that Arya wasn't the talking type. He walked into the kitchen to retrieve two bowls of soup and two seperate keys. Arya took them when he returned and nodded thanks before walking back to join Rashad who she saw was talking to some Nords. She smirked at how uncomfortable he looked. Setting the tray down between them, she began to sip at the soup she had bought them and took in her surroundings. The inn was warm and welcoming and she was glad of a warm bed for tonight.

"We best eat and get a good nights sleep before the morrow. It's still a fair old way to Markarth" She said between mouthfuls of food.

"So your not going to sleep in your own room" Arya said, holding the key up to him.

She rolled her eyes and put it down on the table. It was pointless arguing with him. She knew enough about him already to know arguing was folly. Arya got to her feet, wincing slightly as she did so. The cut on her leg was still sore and would take a while to recover, but she planned to bandage it again once in her room. The she-khajit looked down at Rashad.

"I'll see you in the morning then I guess" She said with a shrug.

Arya looked back over her shoulder at Rashad. His eyes were watching her closely and she sighed with annoyance. The she-khajit shut the door behind her and looked round at the small room. It was cosy she gave it that. But there was something bothering her and she soon found out why.

"You really feel the need to follow me everywhere Silvereye?" She said quietly.

Atop the wadrobe in the far corner of the room, a blond haired nord sat. She was wearing her dark brotherhood garb and had a dagger spinning lazily in her hand. At Arya's words she showed no sign of recognition in those deep silvery eyes of hers.

"Im not. Im checking on your progress. Astrid sent me you fool" Silver eye said irritably.

Arya went over to the bed and sat down on it, taking off her dagger and setting it down under her pillow just like she always did when she was sleeping somewhere different. Her bow she hung up on the back of the door and she did all this trying to ignore Silver eye.

"Are you still here? You can see I am doing what needs to be done so get lost" Arya sneered.

Silver eye leapt down at that moment, dagger in hand.

"Oh really? So, you think your doing your job when you save the target from werewolves... Join a Guild... Embark on a mission and then snuggle up in a cosy inn? How is that doing what needs to be done?" Silver eye said, putting the dagger underneath Arya's neck.

Arya didn't even flinch. She knew Silver eye was all talk and she could easily un-arm her if she needed to.

"Clearly you have no idea about my contract so how could Astrid have sent you? I am here to find out more about the Guild and then kill Rashad of the Shadows so excuse me if I bide my time" Arya hissed.

"You better get down to some killing and discovering soon then because you know how Asrid hates to be kept waiting" Silver eye snarled, not moving her dagger from Arya's neck.

"Why do you fear your sister so? You can tell her I am on the job. It will be done soon, but I need to be careful with this one" Arya said, getting bored of being held at knife point and brushing the dagger away as she walked off.

Silver eye glared at her before backing away towards the window of the room.

"Fine, but I will be watching you Arya. You best not slip up and you better shed some blood soon. Sithis is longing for his soul" Silver eye called and when Arya turned round, she was gone.

The she-khajit sighed. Stupid nord! How dare she follow me and interupt with my contract! Though she did speak the truth. Arya had been able to kill Rashad on two occasions now and hadn't taken them. Was she really biding her time or was it something else. After a while however she decided it was too late to be over thinking so she closed her eyes and allowed sleep to take her.

Arya didn't sleep particularly well that night. She kept dreaming of the sanctuary and of the thieves guild. Both had turned on her and were trying to take her life. Rashad too was there trying to put a dagger in her back and she saw Silver Eye and Astrid hunting her like a dog. There was a sudden tap at the door and Arya's eyes snapped open. Before she could stop herself she had the dagger out from underneath her feather pillow and had thrown feathers everywhere due to the rip she caused. There was nobody there. It was merely the barman opening up the inn. Cursing, she let her head fall back on the pillow.

It was no use, she wasn't going to get back to sleep and she knew that they had to be off at first light. So she got up and dressed, making sure to change the bandages on her leg. Much to her delight, the potions had healed the gash nicely, though a little pain still remained. More of a stiffness really. Arya re-attached her dagger, picked up her bow and headed out the door. She wanted to go and wake Rashad, but seeing how little he trusted her already she decided to wait in the lobby. When she sat down, a mug of soup and bread was bought to her and she ate it in silence, awaiting her partners arrival.
