Aela followed Rahks up to the room. She was thirsty so had taken a bottle of mead from the food the innkeeper had offered them after Rahks had paid. Once inside, Aela closed the door and wandered over to the chair by the fire. The room was small. One bed, a set of draws, a window and set of chairs by the fire in the room. She pulled the bottle off the top of the mead with her teeth and looked to Rahks.
"So, these Sun Legion wish to kill us then, is that right?"

SilverEye bit her lip and looked to the floor as Farkus asked this. Why was he doing this to her?
"Farkus.. please... I don't" Silver began, but Farkus grabbed the front of her top and pulled her towards him roughly.
At first Silver though he was going to kiss her, but she looked up into angry and firey eyes so her thoughts were proved wrong. When he began to talk, Silver actually closed her eyes and avoided looking at him.
"YOU WILL SPEAK" He demanded, throwing her roughly back down onto the bed and towering over her.
Silver took a moment to massage her neck. Restriction round the neck always caused her to worry and feel fear and Farkus apparently hadn't forgotten that by the look of things.
"What good will it do?! You know I did what I did for Astrid. It's not like I enjoyed leaving you and my daughter behind. I am in the Brotherhood because it's my atonement and mine alone. My atonement for letting my sister down... For letting her fall into darkness and for letting her walk this rode. Because of me, she ended up there.. I should have been there for her. But instead I... I just thought of myself" Silver stopped and turned away from Farkus now, her eyes threatening to fill with tears again.
"Why.. Why didn't you let me help you?" Farkus went on to say, a little less harsh than his tone before.
"IDIOT! HAVE YOU NOT LISTENED TO A WORD I'VE SAID!??!?! I couldn't have you, or our daughter linked to the dark brotherhood! I couldn't put either of your lives in danger like that!" Silver yelled, spinning back round to face her husband.
