Talsakr and the woman who saw it stood in shock and horror, though the woman seemed to slowly be gaining back her motor skills. After a few more moments of silence, though it felt like an eternity, the woman ran off screaming for the guards. Talsakr realized his unfortunate position at the moment, while it was clear he didn't do it, the guards didn't know. He began a brisk walk down the alley from which he came, just making it out when a group of guards armed with guns ran past him. Telsakr, needing something to take his mind off the death he'd seen recently, began asking what people had stayed after the woman's yells about an inn. He was directed towards a large nearby building.

Upon entering the building, the name of which was 'Candlehearth Hall', Talsakr noted that the temperature inside wasn't much greater than outside. Any colder, and he would have asked for warm mead. But he didn't. He sat down and payed for a drink, but he sipped it slowly due to the temperature. Enjoying the relative peace, Talsakr hoped that the voices in his head wouldn't return soon. Sure, the mead didn't help. Just as he was about to call the bartender over for more mead, Talsakr overheard some other patron asking where he could hunt mages. The bartender wasn't slow to tell that some guards had arranged a task force, and they were planning on assaulting Winterhold. The patron laughed at the, knowing them to be doomed, but Talsakr didn't understand. From what he'd heard in Markarth, Winterhold was a tiny village, its only notable structure a giant school of magic, and the mages were usually relatively peaceful. After he'd gotten his second drink, Talaskr got to thinking. If he were to join in this assault, perhaps he would earn himself a place in this city? He slowly finished his drink, this time listening to the bard playing in the background, and eventually rented, then retired to a room.
