Manja placed her hand on his shoulder and sighed heavily, "Nish..."

"I... I didn't protect her from J'dharjo... then I brutally beat him infront of her and then I let her get attacked by that psychotic, wizard prick and then I let her kill him, the same way that I killed Edgar!"

Manja looked away, wondering what response would go down well... "None of those things..."

"I could have stopped them... stopped myself, stopped her, stopped him but I didn't!"

"Yeah, you didn't! So is that it? Are you both just going to sit, slumped in a corner crying for the rest of your lives?" His sister snapped, angrily at him, clutching his shoulders.

"I..."

She leant forward, fixing their eye contact. "Nish... I'm sorry, I really am but none of those things were you..."

"She..."

"She got attacked by a beast, would you getting hurt help her? In any way?"

"I guess no- But I still beat my friend... that was me..."

"That asshole attacked your wife on your wedding day! He had it coming!" Manja countered, "hell, if it was just me there, I wouldn't have stopped you."

They stopped and looked away from eachother, turning around and scanning the ground for somewhere to put their gaze.

"Let's... pretend that this is your fault..." She began, hoping that he wouldn't regret it. "Do you really think that standing around here, beating yourself up over it, is going to help?"

"N-no..."

"It won't... she's just getting worse." The nord walked over to him and took his hands, looking him in the eyes again. "Help her..."

Nish nodded in response, she was right... he had to fix this...

"Alright... I'll talk to her, next chance I get."

Manja smiled and let him go, "That's my boy..." she smiled as she walked back into the tavern. "If you need me..."

"I know... thanks."

"It's what I'm here for." She smiled as she slipped back into the tavern.
