(None of this is needed and it's pretty damn long, so skip if needed.)

The group of 3 had got over the mountains and were into Skyrim. They were a very short distance away from Riften, so it was an easy trip.

"Home sweet home!" Keerava yelled, as she walked into Riften. Keerava walked into the Bee and Barb, whilst Tobias walked over to Balimund about getting "Talos" sharpened and Belwen went over to Grelka.

Balimund

"Hey, deep voiced guy. Can you sharpen Talos?" Tobias asked.

"Talos? The divine?" Balimund replied

"No you idiot, my sword."

Balimund just looked at Tobias in shock.

"Oh yes, of course! Your sword! How could I have thought of Talos the divine when it was clearly your sword? I should have known!"

"Exactly, It's good you're learning from your mistakes. So, can you?"

"For the right price, probably."

"How much you saying?"

"...500 coins?"

"Can I pay in Ash Yams?"

"Ash Yams?"

"Yeah, Ash Yams."

"Ummm, no..."

"Okay, 500 coins it is then."

Tobias hands over a small coin purse

"45...46...47...This has 47 coins in it..."

"It does? I could have sworn I counted 500."

"Look, kid. It's either 500 coins, or you go home."

"...Your annoying to trick..."

Tobias hands over the extra 453 coins needed and Balimund sharpened Talos, making it sharper.

At Grelka

"What do you mean you only have 16 iron arrows?" Belwen asked in frustration

"I mean I only have 16 iron arrows, stupid elf." Grelka replied

"What did you just say?

"Do you have a problem with understanding what people say?

"Surely you have more arrows."

"Well, I don't. So are you going to buy these arrows or not?"

"...Fine...how much?"

"50 gold"

Belwen hands over the gold and takes the iron arrows.

"Thank you for your service." Grelka said with a fake expression and smile as Belwen walked off.

In the Bee and Barb

"...Keerava?"

"Ram-Ku!"

"What the hell are you doing here?" Ram-Ku exclaimed.

"I've come to visit, of course. Not to stay, to visit."

"Wow...you've come a long way. I'll be honest, I thought you'd be 6 feet underground by now. After 3 years of existence, I think you can see why I thought that."

"I know...I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what?"

"Sorry for not seeing you, saying hello every once in a while. How's Nakuma?"

Ram-Ku went into silence after Keerava said that word. Tears started to come out of his eyes, no matter how much he tried to hide it.

"Nakuma? She's...she's..." Ram-Ku stopped and sighed and put his hands down on the desk.

"Take a seat, Keerava."

Keerava pulled a chair over and sat beside Ram-Ku.

"Nakuma's dead, Keerava. You hear me? Dead..."

"D-d-d-dead? How?"

"It's a long story, Keerava. I-"

"I don't care if I'm here for months listening to this story, I want to know how this happened!"

Ram-Ku sighed again.

"You really want to know, don't you? Well lets just start by saying that the inn was attacked by vampires again. Not too many, only about 5 and luckily some guards were already inside. But Nakuma was pushed to the ground and bitten. Straight away she had Sanguinare Vampiris. All of the vampires were dealt with, but Nakuma was screaming and shreiking all over the place. You could probably hear her screams from Black Marsh she was that loud. "I've been bitten! I've been bitten!" she cried over and over. We tried to find a cure but...but...we just couldn't find one. Eventually she turned into a vampire and the whole town knew it. She was harmless, didn't hurt anyone for the few months that she was a vampire. But one day, they found a group of dead bodies outside of Riften and blamed her straight away. It was obvious it wasn't her! She never left the inn let alone Riften. There were even empty wagons, showing that it was bandits. But no! They blamed her! A few days later, she was executed publicly, in front of the whole town. No one liked it, no one cheered, just cried. Someone even attacked a guard but was killed in the process. From then on, I've been here, working on my own, business as usual."

Keerava was speechless, she had nothing to say, her tears said it all.

"I'm, I'm so sorry I ever even mentioned it, it must be so hard for you at the moment."

"It is, first Wud-Ne, now Nakuma...I guess I have you still, but I just can't take it any more."

"You'll be fine, Ram-Ku. In a few hours you'll be back to your normal self, happy and willing to do help anyone."

"...Okay Keerava. I'll listen to you..."
