Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks smiled and chuckled at Astrids eagerness No force in Tamriel can stop a fire spirit like hers, defiantly takes after mother Rahks acceded the stairs to the main hall, there were the other Companions sitting around, already eating and drinking. To his surprise Brynjolf was still there yet he looked about ready, coming over to Rahks with a smile Glad to see you back on your feet my friend. I take my leave soon. I see that you seem to have found a new place to stand Brynjolf nodded to Aela

Rahks stepped forward and embraced his friend Yes...I have been a Gale for a while now, I feel it is time to settle and rest. I will still ride to the defence of hte guild should it be needed. Yet right now.. I feel my place here her, with my new friends.. and my heart Rahks stepped back now. A smiled went between both men, before Brynjolf spoke up again I understand lad, you have served the Gales well. You deserve this life. I brought this along, it belongs to you thought you might want it back He handed over a large bag, it was rather heavy Well then, I best be off, take care my night brother, may Nocturnal protect you They hugged and shook hands, then Brynjolf left, heading out into the evening sky and making his way back to Riften

[Shadowfax]

Silver and Farkus reached the door as Brynjolf and his men were leaving. Silver and one of the leaders of the thieves guild locked eyes for a moment before Bryjolf outstretched a hand to her which after a while she shook.

"This alliance will never truly be dead. Should The Companions, Or The Brotherhood need anything... We will answer your call for aid" He told her.

Silver gave a firm nod of her head.

"As will the Companions and the Brotherhood" She replied before letting go of his hand and letting him take his leave.

Farkus took hold of her hand again and the pair walked over to the table where Aela, Rahks and their daughter were sitting. Silver smiled as Astrid clambered onto her lap and she smiled to Rahks seeing how happy he looked with Aela next to him.

"So... I guess this means Rahks is also a Companion now too" Silver said thoughtfully.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks took a seat with Aela. He leant over to give a kick kiss before reaching out and grabbing whatever food and drink his hands could reach. Seeing as he had collapsed after the battle, he was in need of food. He looked at his bag Brynjolf had brought. There was a clink from inside. Rahks shrugged and placed it on the floor for now, starting to eat. Silver's words then caused him to pause, finishing his mouthful and placing the rest of his food down Am I? I mean... I know I stood side by side with you all but, to be called a Companion.. that surely is not a choice only I can make?

[Shadowfax]

"No... It's not... But I think alot of us will have your back on it if you wanted to become one of us" Silver said.

"Oh.. So you're One of us again now then? What makes you think Kodlak will let you back in? He won't let you go unpunished you know Silver, even if you did stand alongside us in that battle" Aela said, biting into a bread roll.

"I never really left" Silver said with a slight smile on her face.

"Besides... Kodlak doesn't hold grudges. He sees into your heart and he will see that Silver's is pure. Just like that of any Companions" Farkus added in.

Aela rolled her eyes in defeat, but smirked slightly too.

"Well I guess we need a ceremony then. To welcome the old and new back to the halls of Jorvaskar" She said, raising her ale.

This silenced the room and Farkus and the other companions raised their glasses as if knowing what the warrioress was about to say.

"To Rahks and SilverEye. Leaders of the rebellion and heroes of Skyrim" She said to the whole room.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks listened intently. Was he really being considered to be allowed into the Companions? Then Aela did something he did not expect, held a toast in his honor, claiming both him and Silver to be heroes of Skyrim. His mind raced over in that moment, and it felt as if time itself had slowed down. Never in his dreams did he imagine a feeling like the one running over him. When he left his old home, he wanted to live his own life free of restriction. Now though, in the great halls of Jorvaskar, he felt and odd sense of belonging. Allies who would risk their lives for him, friends to aid him and most importantly, Love. He looked down a moment and took up his mead raising it high himself and knocked glasses with Aela and Silver

[Shadowfax]

Silver smiled at the toast, she herself rather shocked by Aela's sudden change in attitude towards her. Looking to her left, Farkus too held his drink high and her heart melted when she saw her own daughter holding her mug of water up to. Did Astrid understand, or was she just mimicking the others? Whatever the case... She felt honored and touched. She too raised her mead and looked around the room.

"Let us remember those too who gave their lives to defend our cause. Hail the victorious dead! May they rest in peace!" She called as the men in the hall cried out in respect.

Silver sipped her mead, Astrid on her lap. She felt so content in that moment and so happy. As if nothing could ever take this happiness away from her and somewhere she hoped her sister was watching her and that she was proud of her for what she had achieved.

"I don't know about you lot.. But I think a celebration is in order tonight" Farkus said to Aela, Silver and Rahks with a smirk on his face.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks finished off the toast with everyone and wrapped his arm around Aela Nice speech my love He gently nuzzled up to her and downed his own bottle of mead, before slamming it down on he table Well if it is a celebration then we are going to need more mead..unless... He reached down to the bag and brought it up infront of him. Opening it up were four bottles, all of them unlabelled. He popped the cork off one and sniffed. On instinct his eyes widened and he smiled letting out a loud purr Well if it isn't my special order of Skooma, straight from the fields of Eylswer

[Shadowfax]

Aela caught the scent of the skooma and wrinkled her nose as it hit her nostrils. Her wolfish scent of smell like the others was strong and the skooma went right through her.

"That stuff stinks.. Why on earth would you drink something like that?!" She asked sounding confused and disgusted at the same time.

Astrid however made to grab the bottle, but Silver swiftly held her back.

"I want to try it!" The young nord retorted, but Silver held onto her firmly.

"Not for atleast another ten years love" Silver said in a very matter of face voice which caused Farkus to laugh.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks smirked over at Aela who did not seem so sure about his choice of drink Why would I drink it? It is only the best drink I have ever had? But I guess a puppy girl like you just cant handle its...pure delicious taste He then turned away and saw little Astrid wanting some of the Skooma, Rahks chuckled and reached for a goblet, putting in a tiny drop of mead then passing it down Try this first, as this in here is stronger

[Shadowfax]

Aela frowned and gave Rahks a look as if to say 'Are you challenging me?' But she held her tongue with young Astrid present. When Rahks passed her the goblet, Astrid reached for it and looked at the substance in the cup for a moment, before looking at her mother.

"You won't like it..." She assured the stubborn little nord, but that only made her narrow her eyebrows and drink the small amount that was in the goblet.

As expected, she coughed and spat the mead right back out and made many disgusted noises, causing everyone at the table to laugh.

"See... If you don't like that... Skooma is definitely off the list" Farkus told her, passing her a mug of water to get rid of the taste.

"Though you best not let anyone outside of here catch you with that. The guards in Whiterun are very against Skooma" Farkus said a littler wearily.
