(Just remember leveling up minor skills is separate from the main skills, which level you up. Kind of like in Oblivion, though here leveling up minor skills 25 levels also grants you a level.)

Harold and Lydia looted the bodies(a few sets of fur and iron armor. A few iron weapons. 35 gold, 3 lockpicks and a garnet.) and then returned to Whiterun. As Lydia went to sell the loot they've gotten Harold went to return to Farkas. He got 100 gold as a reward.(Now has 860 septims) He bought some supplies from Eorlund(-70 septims) and then made Lydia a Steel Armor piece while also improving it to superior quality.(Smithing to 24. Long time since I've leveled my smithing). Harold awaited Lydia's return from shopping, she sold all the things and obtained 250 septims. (He now has 1040 septims.)

"Lydia, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes." said Harold.

"Whatever you say my thane." she covered her eyes.

"Ok, now you can open them." he held out the armor he made her.

"Wow, thanks. I've never gotten a gift like this before. You shouldn't have. How can I repay you?" said Lydia

"No need, you work for me. I can't let you, a heavy armor user, go around in light guard's armor." replied Harold.

"I'll go change into it later. Thanks again Harold." said Lydia. (I'm going to slowly make the two of them become friends. Though I ain't marrying her, Lydia isn't really my Dragonborn's type.)
