Larius approached the front gate of Castle Cheydinhal, ready to lure the guard captain over to her cause. He knew that the woman must have some moderate intelligence as she managed to keep her post, through both occupancies of this pustule of a city. The altmer walked through the castle courtyard, unimpressed by the atmosphere. The Imperial City was far grander, than this loathsome place...

Still, simple minds, namely his orc companion, were still captivated by the spectacle. Bologra looked around as he took in the surroundings, guards rushing about and nobles, who queued up to be the first one, that day to shove their head up the count's backside. Though, none of them knew that the count had been arrested and his bodyguard could only bullshit them for so long.

The former thalmor entered Tabith's office, with no regard for knocking. The dunmer was slouched over her table, scrawling away at her patrol lists, until a shadow was cast over the page.

She looked up to see an orc, he was... familiar but she couldn't place him. Stood by him was an altmer, who was not, in any way, familiar.

"Guard Captain Tabith?" Larius asked, pulling up a chair and taking a seat at her desk. Bologra just stood there, eventually leaning against the wall with his arms folded. It was a habbit that he'd picked up... somewhere.

"My..." Larius grumbled, saying the next words like he was passing a bowl movement, "associate and I..."

Tabith glared at him, slowly deducing who let them in. She wanted to dismiss them for allowing these two, idiots through and wasting her valuable time...

She stood up, looking at the open door, which quickly slammed shut as the orc gave them some 'privacy.'

Tabith had no fear; she was, obviously, not a target.

Is this a joke?" Tabith snapped, laughing at the end of her annoyed counter.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"Joke? I suppose it is... it's the sort of humour as..." Larius looked around the room; he was good at this...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">He had ruined a lot of people, just by deducing their weaknesses by looking at them.

It looked quite old, implying that she had kept it from the child's childhood as a reminder.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"I don't have a daughter..." She said, confidently, it was true, after all...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"You might want to get used to saying that." Larius grinned, sitting back in his chair.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"Ar-are you threatening a guardsman? The Guard Captain?"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Larius smiled again, he loved this.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"I'm not making a threat, Miss Tabith..." The altmer leaned forward and smiled again, "This is an assurance... cross us or allow anyone else to cross us? Your daughter will be found-" He stopped himself as something, even better came to mind.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"Or perhaps she won't..."

''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> Her fear turned to rage as she slammed her fists on the table, jumping up and pointing to the door.

You’re lucky that I don’t have you both cut down, where you stand!" The Captain snapped, a vain had burst as her voice vibrated with rage.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Larius smiled, seeing that he had touched a nerve, his work here was done...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Tabith wanted to clap them both in irons but what if there were more of them? What if they were dark brotherhood?

She stated, her voice shaking from the stress of all of this. "If I see you... in this court, on the streets..." She paused and shuddered at the thought of it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"Near my house..."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"I will have you, both, crucified..." She had learned a few things ten years ago, she knew how to strike fear into the hearts of men. Unfortunately, Larius had been subjugated to the same thing and her threats meant nothing to him…

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Larius smiled and nodded, gesturing for Bologra to follow him out, the two of them walked away as Tabith collapsed into her chair, burying her head in her hands before glancing at her bracelet.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Nepht...

Bologra grinned, feeling kind of bad but kind of impressed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"It's not over yet..." Larius muttered, begining to sound like Kaizen.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">"Huh?"

Perhaps it was, because he didn't know what the psychotic elf was thinking...

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Though that never scared him before...
