The sun poured out through the cracks of stone, the young nord girl sruntched her face up contempt as she walked out into the afternoon rays. After her a tall older man adorned in stormcloak attire, hair honey blonde, eyes fixed on the girl. "everything seems alright, im so glad we finally made it out of that awful cave, i never much liked the dark" She turned back to look at the man speaking to her to reply in earnest and agreement of his words when a roar echoed loud above them peircing her delicate ears.
almost immediately the man ran to her side and grabbed her, holding her smaller frame hard against his under the shelter of the rock formation. Above her she saw the ravenous huge black dragon fly over them, the ground trembled with the force of the things wings. It had terrorised Helgen only moments ago, flames and roars had been the only thing she had known for a good 10 minutes she had been out in the courtyard before she had hastily escpaed with the man currently holding her.
Ralof, a suitable name for such a handsome strong nord man as himself. She had learned his name when the Imperials pulled out their list and began reading names out.
Some time had passed since the black dragon had vanished over the mountains to the north and Ralof still held her tightly against him. Her cheeks burned red at the realisation and she moved to get out of his grasp. "aye, sorry lass, cant be to careful, wouldn't want that beast coming down for one last bite would ya?" he smirked and reluctently let her go.
'was he flirting with her?' she thought her irritation rising at his lack of basic decorem
"one shouldn't joke about such matters, that thing could eaten us in one chomp!, we are lucky to be alive Ralof!" she exclaimed her tone filled with exasperation and irritation at the man, even after such a traumatic ordeal he was still fine with flirting with her.
"Hey, i never did get your name girl" he had already started to walk down the hill when he turned around to ask her of her name. He had just called her girl the entire cave 'adventure'. The blonde nord girl felt she could somewhat trust the man. 'no reason not to tell him my name' she thought.
"Aurora" the girl said smiling slightly as she walked to follow him down the hill.
"Aurora, aye what a beautiful name, wouldn't have picked it on ya though" he stated
She turned around and stared at the man in curiosity "why's that?"
"A strong lass like you should have a true nord name, something strong, and less...fairytale like" He smirked again, challenging her
"Fairytale!?" she exclaimed again temperature rising. Ralof had quickly found out that she had a short temper and acted purely like a scorned child when talked down to, although her skills in combat were above average the girls firey attitude is what made her memorable.
"Aye, quite the storybook name, tell me pretty one, does the princess have a prince?"
She looked up at him with the most hilariously incredulous look he'd ever seen. Her cheeks going a slight pink along with her ears. "I-i hardly see why thats impor-"
"Ahh so she doesn't" he cut through her sentence, grinning like a mad dog and continued his decent down the hill. Only a few moments later did he hear her footsteps running towards him to keep up.
