(Sorry, I had a "quick" bath. It was meant to be so quick that I wouldn't even mention it...

Anyway, I nodded off and woke up in, what felt like, an ice box.

I'm so exhausted this week...)

"Noble?" The orc asked, before he could say anything, Nish stepped forward.

"I'm allowed to talk, right?"

The orc looked somewhat annoyed by the introduction but allowed it anyway, gesturing.

"You've said what you've said to Eilo, that she doesn't deserve happiness, because she 'killed innocents'... I wasn't there, because I failed her that day and I left her alone, when she needed me most." He looked back at her, trying to ease her guilty conscience.

"But I have a question for you..." He swallowed hard, not knowing how the orc would react.

"Did Pilerius get what he deserved?"

The orc was somewhat intrigued, he allowed the breton to continue.

"These caves belonged to the Mythic Dawn, until Pilerius came in and cut them all down."

"The Mythic Dawn were a threat to Tamriel!" The orc protested, showing some emotion.

"Yes, they were but that's threat died with their leader!" Nish snapped, still enraged at the grilling that this orc had given the dunmer he loved. "Pilerius probably cut through them, like a hot knife through butter, considering that they were stragglers, left behind to live in a cave! Hell, I could probably have cleared this cave of women and children!"

Nish stopped, realising that he was yelling at the spectral figure of a former knight of the Nine.

"Eilonwyn gave Tyranil a chance when nobody else believed that they deserved one... She dedicated three years of her life to finding me, because she cares about everyone close to her. Even in her out of control state, which you described...

She did everything to protect us from herself..."

Nish felt like he was living on borrowed time, as if the orc would kill him as soon as this speech ended.

The orc sat back, taking what the breton had said in.
