Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks went to open the door a little, but instantly turned around to meet Silver's voice. He noticed her eyes straight away and knew what had happened, yet did not comment on the fact, knowing full well it would break her more Sadly yes, we must prepare to leave and head out as fast as possible. Something just tells me we need to move fast. The legion will not take this loss laying down

[Shadowfax]

Silver nodded slowly. She knew she had to get back to her sister, but leaving her family behind again was another story. Her daughter honestly thought she was back for good this time, and having to leave again... Astrid might not be as forgiving this time. The kid was smart for a five year old.

"Sure... I'll just pick my armor up and we will head out" She said, trying not to sound too upset.

"Did you need any weapons or armor before we leave? Might aswell make the most of it while we are here" She said, slowly pushing the door to her room open.

[KingKivuli]

No Aela has already seen to it my bow is replaced, and it is fine craft work indeed. I will wait for you outside Rahks began to walk past Silver on his way out, but stopped next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder I know this is hard, but remember they are who your fighting this for With that he continued on his was up the stairs and out to the steps where he sat and waited

[Shadowfax]

SilverEye nodded as Rahks passed her and walked into the room. In the far corner on a mannequin stood her armor. It looked as though the maid had kept it dust free, for it looked exactly how she left it. Silver gently ran her hands over it and smiled to herself as she felt the scales beneath her fingers. Then she slipped it over the mannequin and over herself. In an instant she felt like her old self and flexed her hands into the gauntles. Looking across the room, she caught sight of herself in the mirror and smiled gently.

"Mummy.. Are you going now?" Astrid said from the shadows.

Silver looked down at her daughter and hugged her once again for what seemed like an age.

"I'll be back this time though sweetie. I promise. You'll look after daddy for me, won't you?" Silver said, fighting back all emotions now.

The little nord nodded and took hold of Silver's hand so they could walk up to the entrance hall together.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks waited patiently for Silver, knowing this would not be easy on her at all. Finally however she emerged, holding hands with young Astrid, and Farkus not far behind. He stood and looked over Silver's new armour Very nice, it suites you well. We will need it in times to come Rahks then looked down to Astrid and kneeled You be strong for mummy and I promise I will bring her back again, you have my word Rahks then came face to face with Farkus. Both men locked eyes for a moment It has been a pleasure Farkus. I wish we met under better circumstances, but this has given me a great deal of insight to those I know I can call allies as well as friends. I only hope that you and the Companions feel the same Rahks raised his hand and offered it out

[Shadowfax]

Silver and her family came to the entrance hall and that was when Astrid let go of her mothers hand. She watched as Rahks had words with her, and she briefly caught Farkus' eye before Rahks was approaching them again. Silver forced a smile when he complimented her armor and when the Khajit extended his hand to Farkus, the Nord took it and gave it a firm shake.

"You take care out there" Farkus told him before taking back his hand.

Silver looked over her shoulder at Farkus and he looked at her.

"This time... i'll be back one day" She told him gently.

Farkus hugged her tightly, or as tight as he could through her dragon scaled armor. After a few moments, they broke apart and Silver gently kissed her husbands cheek before turning back to Astrid for one final hug.

"I'll be back soon, I promise" She whispered.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks wondered ahead and out the town to the stables, giving Silver time for the one last goodbye. Sure enough his horse was fed and watered. He payed the stable hand, untethered his mount and begin to head back the the main gate. On his way he felt a nudge at his shoulder. It was Shadowmere, following him along Smart horse you have Silver He thought, giving him a stroke and continuing on

[Shadowfax]

"Don't forget who you are Silver. And keep that Khajit safe, he's a worthy allie to have" Aela called from the shadows as Silver got to her feet.

It was that moment, the old Silver returned and smirked at Aela from across the room.

"My, my Aela... Be careful I might think you are paying the Khajit a compliment"

"Just keep him safe" Aela said, walking off into the halls.

Silver smirked and turned back to Farkus and Astrid, who were standing alongside, Farkus with his hands on the little child's shoulders. Astrid looked upset and Farkus looked longingly at Silver.

"I'll be back soon. I promise. Stay safe" Silver whispered before tearing her eyes away from the two of the three people she cared the most about in the world.

Once she got out the door, she broke into a run and out into the plains of Skyrim. When she came across Rahks and the horses she caught her breath and smiled at her friend weakly.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks smiled back then took to his saddle Thought this would be quicker though I was surprised your horse followed me as well, still time is of the essence Rahks looked up at the walls of the city and smiled I am going to miss here, it is a nice place, perfect to call home. Nice people as well... He reached back and adjusted his bow and smiled ...one in particular I would say He turned his horse around waiting for Silver

[Shadowfax]

Silver leapt onto Shadowmere's back and gently patted him on the shoulder before they set off. Her eyes also lingered on the walls of Whiterun as they walked down into the plains of Skyrim. As Rahk's mentioned being fond of the city and of one person, Silver couldn't help but smirk.

"Does that one person happen to a Nord with great skill at archery?" She teased, tightening the gauntlets around her wrists.

Silver had doned her old armor, but she kept a shawl around her neck with the dark brotherhoods mark on it so as not to offend Astrid when they returned to the sanctuary.
