Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks chuckled at her last comment Your saying to a Kahjit to keep a sharp eye HA its all we do have The pair made it out of the forest with no issues, the path cleared and got wider allowing them both to pick up the pace. Despite the overbearing clouds, the day was pleasant, the past Whiterun in the early evening and headed up the mountain pass. As night feel, Rahks pulled up to an old lookout tower just off the road.

He hopped of his horse and took some things off We might as well rest here the night, no point in pushing even further, these roads are more dangerous than even I dare tackle He pulled his horse into the tower, tethering it to an old hook, and started setting up camp including a fire. From the outside Whiterun could be seen, and the tower itself had stairs leading to the roof, other than that it was bare, but sturdy

[Shadowfax]

Silver sighed at that. Camping meant they would be on this little venture longer, and all she wanted to do was get back. Or did she? Astrid was being very off with her at the moment and she didn't like that one bit. Shadowmere slowed and allowed Silver to jump off his back before heading off to graze. She knew the horse wouldn't go anywhere far, so she felt no need to tether him to a post.

She watched Rahks for a moment, and then suddenly realized where they were.. This was her old home. She felt her heart sink as she looked over at the distant city and memories came flooding back to her. A light breeze tugged at her hair and she felt her eyes blur slightly due to the tears forming.

"Farkus..." She muttered to herself as she looked on.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks worked away inside, getting everything set up, fire going with skeever meat roasting on sticks. Many minutes passed yet Silver did not enter. He stood up and went to go outside to find her. As his view point saw her he stopped. Ducking behind the entrance and peeking out. She was just standing so still, looking out to Whiterun What a curious woman He thought First that ring and the scent of dog on her. Now she stands overlooking the Dragons Reach. Is there someone there for you perhaps? Were you forced to leave them for the assassins? Is that why you hate us? so many questions... I must leave them be for now He stepped out and called over Silver the camp is set and I have some meat cooking whenever you are ready

[Shadowfax]

Silver allowed the memories to flood through her, but when Rahks called to her, she felt herself snap back to reality. That life was over, this was her life now and until her task was complete.. This was how it had to be. Silver turned on her heel and headed back towards the Khajit and his makeshift camp. The smell of skeever made her stomach lurch. Neither of them had eaten all day and the journey had made her weary.

Silver settled down on a rock near the fire and began to turn the meat lazily, staring into the flames as if still half in a trance.

"No goat or chicken?" She complained as if trying to make conversation.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks sighed I do yet I only really take it out for special missions... though I suppose the guilds working together counts to why the hell not He walked over to his sack and pulled out to sealed linen wraps, the kind you would find the dead wrapped in, except he used these to keep food fresher. Rahks unwrapped both showing two chicken breasts. Grabbing the sticks he added the breasts to the end to cook as well They are a couple days old so may take longer to cook

[Shadowfax]

"It's fine... I am not a huge fan of skeever" Silver muttered, again turning the cooking stick so that the skeever could cook on the other side again.

Silver sighed and became fascinated by the grass infront of her suddenly. She poked at it with the end of her steel dagger before looking back at Whiterun briefly, then back to the flames. She looked so out of place in that moment as she sat there with Rahks in the firelight.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks observed Silvers actions closely. It was obvious something was amiss, usually it would not bother him, but Silver had him interested, plus they were allies Silver, I do not mean to be rude, but I could not help but notice you seem... distracted and anxious. You keep looking out to Whitrun and holding your wedding finger. I ask as a friend and ally, what is troubling you? He sat and waited, fully expecting that dagger to be thrown at him

[Shadowfax]

Silver gave him a scornful look when he called himself her 'friend'. Silver hadn't had any of those, not in a long while. The Dark Brotherhood members.. She got on with, but she knew in the back of her mind they were just murderers who would turn her over without a second thought if Sithis asked it of them. She heaved a low sigh and leant back against the stump of the tree. She'd never told anyone about her past, other than Astrid.

"I... used to be a companion. Being back here... It's awkward and feels very nostalgic" She said with yet another sigh. "It's kinda hard being on the outskirts when you know your old life lies behind those walls. And the people you cared about live there hating you... I can almost feel the hatred from here"

[KingKivuli]

Rahks looked surprised. Mostly that he was not impaled but also that Silver had a 'good' past. Yet she was with the Brotherhood now, at least it explained her hatred of both guilds I am sorry... truely. If I may ask.. who lives in those walls? and what happened? From Companion to assassins.... that is a steep fall

[Shadowfax]

"Heh... It's not exactly a nice happy tale" Silver said, smirking, but it was soon lost and she was back to looking sad and confused.

"All I ever wanted was to keep Astrid safe.. My little sister safe. She fell into the Dark Brotherhood and it was all my fault... Me being here. Being in the Brotherhood is my atonement, for letting her down. I left my own husband and daughter and everyday it kills me to think of her growing up without her mother there. Whilst I slave away for that damned dread father and night mother. In the hope that i'll somehow save my dear sister and bring her back the Companions and we'll all live happily ever after" Silver said, her words sounding sarcastic towards the end.

She reached into her pocket and drew out a half empty bottle of mead and then downed the whole thing.
