Aiyanna looked up at the big Nord, trembling. She was really in a fix now. It was hard to believe that only a few hours before she had been standing in the marketplace in Leyawin, buying her breakfast, which she'd never gotten.

She lowered her head, staring at the deck. "I did not intend to stow away on your ship, Captain.  I was hiding in a crate.  I didn't know the crate was about to be loaded.  I...was running from...city guards," she said slowly, realizing her story wasn't about to make it any better. "I was accused of stealing from a food stand, but I was buying my food, some sneak thief made off with something and I was blamed.  I ran." She looked back up at him. "If you want to know the right of it, I think they picked me because I was Nord.  The Emperor was just assassinated in Skyrim, so Nords aren't popular right now, are they, kinsman?"

It was weak. Very weak. She crossed her fingers and sent a quick prayer to the gods.
