I was heading up to the gates of Solitude when I noticed a young girl looking over what seemed to be a map. She looked so serious and focused I wondered if she was older than she looked. Without even thinking about it I walked over to her. I crouched down behind her and looked at the map in her lap.
"Where are you planning to go?" I asked which clearly startled her a she gasped and jumped causing her to fall back into me. Seeing the startled look on her face made me chuckle. But then I really looked at her and I saw she had Her eyes and while clearly years younger she had Her face!
"I haven't really decided yet." She answered clearly still upset over being startled.
I almost didn't hear her over the internal screams of joy. After 9 years of searching I'd finally found her. I couldn't stop smiling. She went back to looking at her map clearly pretending I wasn't still there. "Are you planning to stay at the inn tonight?" I needed to know at she wasn't going to get on a ship or take a carriage out of town tonight. Even though it didn't seem likely with the answer she gave before about not having decided where to go.
"I don't have the coin to spare for that." She said while still going over her map like it was going to give her the answers as to where to go.
"If you don't have any coin to spare I know a place you can stay for free. If you want to that is."
IShe looked at me with suspicion. "I don't need your help."
'She's a tuff one. I love it!' "Well that's good to know but I'm offering it just the same." I smiled at her. I just couldn't help it. 10 years of seeing her in my head. 9 years of searching and she was here! I'd finaLly found her! "A friend of mine has a manor house in the city where her family lives full time. She's hardly ever home with all the various stuff she has on her plate but I've been told... Well kind of ordered to stop in and check on her family when ever I'm in town." I faltered. "But her wife kind of hates me so you know and be prepared for her smart mouth. So what do you say? Would you like to join me in ruining her night?" I smiled at her and held out my hand just waited to see what she'd do.
