Ra-Jeed stood before his own Master, surrounded by several bandits, all of which were programmed to share his Master's stern glare. It was one of few times that the Altmer let them emote...

"What were my last words to you before you departed this cesspool?" That Altmer began, stood at the center of the ring of slaves, arms folded, like a judge. Ra-Jeed definitely felt like he was on trial here, except the audience were both the jury and the executioners, an odd combination.

"T-To fill up my canteen?" The Khajiit answered, truthfully as that technically was the last thing his Master told him.

"What was the last thing that I officially said to you?"

"N-Not to bring the Breton..."

"Not to bring the Breton here." The Altmer replied, for him, he knew better than Ra-Jeed as he was the one who was pissed, the Altmer glared at him some more, sending several shivers down his spine. Jorthar was creepy on his own, he realised this but a little enzyme manipulation could go a long way and a creepy baby sitter could become a deep dark pit of trouble, if they found the right pressure point.

"I didn't disobey you." Ra-Jeed began, obviously starting with an arrow to the shin as this did not go down well with Jorthar as it was a lie in his eyes.

"You did the opposite of what I asked of you, so yes, you did disobey me." As he said 'did' Ra-Jeed felt a terrible migraine overcome him, it was rare that Jorthar attacked his student's mind but this wasn't exactly a misplaced bit of china or misunderstanding. He had gone out of his way to disobey him and that demanded punishment.

"No, you don't understand! I didn't bring her back here to help her..." The Khajiit strained, white noise filled his ears as he clutched his head and his eyes felt like they were bleeding. This was nothing, compared to what Jorthar did to some of his enemies but it sure as hell felt like 'something.'

The Thalmor Justiciar seemed a little intrigued by this, perhaps he judged Ra-Jeed a little too harshly...

"Explain yourself."

"I scanned their minds! And... Listened in, on a few conversations..." The Khajiit groaned, scrambling to his feet whilst he had the chance, he'd be back on his knees if this didn't go down well.

"Azarath... Left... But he cares for her... We can use her as bait."

A smile, well more of a smirk, drew across Jorthar's lips, he had learned something after all...

"You think that he'll come back for her?"

"I believe so... Yes. I think that he cares more about her than anyone or anything else right now..."

"Did you leave a trail?"

The Thalmor agent let go of Ra-Jeed's psyche, seeing no need to torment him any longer, he'd have plenty of time to do that, the next time he screwed up. The Khajiit gasped in response, rubbing his temples as everything slotted back into place, he felt like he hadn't slept in a week, his mouth felt numb, there was a ringing in his ears and a vibration inside his skull.

"Did you leave a trail!?"

"N-No... C-Covered it, using the methods you taught me... It'll lead them somewhere else."

The smirk stayed on Jorthar's face as he heard this; it pleased him, somewhat...

"Good." He concluded, gesturing for his minions to return to their post and to act like they used to do, back when they had their minds. The Khajiit's Master approached him and placed his hand on his shoulder, like a very tough to please but somewhat caring, paternal figure as that's what he was...

Minus the caring part...

"Go and sleep that off, we'll have a lot of work ahead of us tonight and a lot on our plate when Azarath finds out about us."

Ra-Jeed nodded, still panting from his overhaul, Gods, he sometimes forgot how cruel Jorthar could be, he had no limits, something that he often forgot. The Khajiit bowed, reluctantly and left his Master's chamber, rubbing his head as he tried to calm himself down, he'd need more medicine to get over that, surely...

"Ra-Jeed?"

The Khajiit looked around; it was rare that Jorthar used his name...

"Good work."

Ra-Jeed gave him a tiny smile, though it was more of a grimace, due to the fact that his head was spinning, he was still grateful for his Master's praise, despite what he had put him through...

"Thank you... Master..."
