Chapter 3: Let's Dance

After his long travel to report to Loghain of the betrayal of the elf, the khajiit was near his edge of wanting to murder a random stranger but sadly he could not due to the clear orders the man had set on him after a few incidents in the castle. He snuck his way back in so he would not draw attention to himself with the rest of the people since now he knew all of them had no idea of what he is and where he came from, only two things were on his mind and he so badly wanted to return home to see Cicero's smiling face along with the Night Mother.

When he snuck into the castle, he closed the door behind him and stood up straight in knowing that the guards within knew of his presents but risked no intention of making him public. Loghain was kind enough to do that for Sabriz but the khajiit knows that if a man wanted something, he would do anything to get it and so Sabriz was at a halt for the moment.

On his way to Loghain's room, he saw two guards standing there and he just had the urge to tease them in a way he could think of. What is a castle without laughter the khajiit thought while making his way to the room and passed the guards, not long after the khajiit entered the room came Loghain walking down the hall.

The man glanced into his room when he spotted the jester looking into his treasured maps, with a long sigh of annoyance. Loghain went walking into the room and closed the door behind him when the guards heard a locking sound and then…

Sounds of loud banging and crashing, the guards were about to break in when suddenly they heard a soft chuckle close to the door. One of the guards dared himself to listen close by pressing his ear against the door and soon after the other guard did the same.

A soft noise of something rubbing against the door…

Quiet giggles and a thump…

What is going on in there? The first guard raised an eyebrow to the sounds and looked over at the other guard which looked disturbed when he moved away; the first guard remained to listen in.

Another thump was heard and then something else that caught the guard's ear, something very disturbing that made the guard gulp in curiosity to listen in even more.

"Oh Loghain…" A giggle was heard again but this time a bit loud, the guard tried to pinpoint the sound, he pressed his ear more on the door and tried to hear better.

"Shut up!"

"Make me or are you scared of a… little touch"

"Shut your mouth and give it to me!"

The guard's eyes widen in what he was hearing, was the two men…

"Oh Loghain! That tickles" After saying those words, the guard quickly backed away fast from the door and quickly went to whisper in the other guard's ear. The second guard's eyes widen in a disturbed way as he looked at the other guard in shock, they both looked at the door with speechless mouths.

After the guards went back to their posts, they tried their best not to listen to the loud thumps and bangs but who had the abilities to block THAT out of their minds when the noises got louder with the giggling and name saying.

Ten minutes past when the guards heard a loud bang and the door swinging open wide, Loghain kicked the khajiit out of the room with his jester clothes a mess and rips. The guards watched the cat hit the stone floor face first, loghain came out of the room with messed up hair and panting in anger.

"Get out of my sight before I have you cut down!" Loghain ordered and watched as Sabriz got up fast, making his way to his own little room far down the hall. The tall man noticed the guards looking at him; he cleared his throat and fixed his hair as he walked up to one guard.

"You heard nothing, understand" Loghain ordered with a stern voice as the guard nodded his head once and looked forward at nothing but the wall in front of him, The tall man started to make his way down the opposite side of the hall with his back straight and head held high.

Meanwhile, Sabriz ran into his room and shut the door behind him in case the man was daring to chase after him.

"It was more fun when it was with Cicero…" Sabriz spoke only to himself as his head lowered in sadness, his smile still on his lips while he leaned against the door for a moment before he made his way to the small window to once again glance at the people passing by without notice.

The khajiit watched the sky that was half covered by building roofs and wondered how he was going to get home if he was going to be a prisoner in the castle and only having half the people notice him, he wondered how his family was doing without him being their Listener.

That was when he looked down to notice a certain person with a few groups walking behind, he watched as they passed by but he could not bear himself to look away from that one certain person.

Sabriz let out a soft chuckle and smiled warmly when that person took notice of him as well, he wondered why his heart leaped when he saw those eyes gaze up at him and wondered why his stomach felt like butterflies dancing.

To Be Continued.


Note from editor: A special thanks to the request from coduss, thanks for reading my story and helping out with the pairing of Sabriz:3 I will make future comments for the khajiit in time. THANKS for reading! Lots a love to all!


Sabriz wanted to open his window and talk with the lovely woman but sadly, Loghain ordered his men to nail down his windows. Saying it was for safety precautions in case enemies decided to sneak in, Sabriz may be crazy but he knew better that it was to keep him inside and not have the chance to escape.

The khajiit let out a soft sigh and turned away from the window to make his way to the door, he wondered if it would help if he sneaks out.

"Screw it, I should not be scared of a little beating" Sabriz chuckled to himself as he continued, "it would not be the first time Sabriz was beaten, Ancano did worse than just punch…" He shivered to the memory as he turned the door knob to open the door; he froze to the sight before him.

"Where do you think you're going, cat?" Loghain spoke with a grim expression on his face, standing straight with his arms folded across his armored chest.

"Well, I was just about to take a piss when you just showed up." The khajiit grinned to himself as he walked up to the man and giggled before patting Loghain on the head, "No worries, I know how to fight even with just a spoon in hand" the khajiit left the man's side and continued to walk down the hall.

That's the problem, Cat! How do I know that your words mean jesting or being serious…? Loghain thought to himself as he watched the jester walking down the hall and humming, as irritated as he was about keeping such a creature made Loghain wonder if it was a good or bad thing.

I will keep my eyes on you Loghain glared for a moment before going off to do some business, annoyed with one fool at the same time.

Meanwhile, Sabriz snuck off into the garden to search for the lovely creature he had his eyes on, wondering what she was doing in the garden in the first place. Business came first to Sabriz but he wondered if it meant killing any who planned to attack and ruin Loghain's plans.

Damn him, I have been nothing but a trapped beast ever since I was dropped into this world, time to abandon this guy. The khajiit was pissed off with the "HELP" he got from the man and it was not enough that he was denied meals if he did something wrong or just teased the broody guy.

The khajiit snuck across the garden in search for the lovely creature, keeping his ears and tail out of sight just in case guards came looking for him or the stranger. While sneaking and peeking around each corner, he saw the lovely woman sneak into the building with some of her companions.

"By Sithis, they just… did those creatures just sneak…" Sabriz whispered to himself in shock, dumbfounded by the sight only made his excitement grow even more. Thieves he could work with and if he wasn't mistaken, he caught the scent of the assassin they called a Crow.

Tailing them was easy since he had a lot of practice sneaking, pickpocketing and lockpicking throughout his years of spending time with the thieves and assassin guilds.

Sneaking by the two familiar guards, he was sure he had to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"I'm telling you, I heard Loghain and… that cat thing doing…" one guard said while swinging his drink around to face the other guards that listened.

"Are you sure you were not drunk on the job"

"No! I swear I wasn't drunk when I heard it!"

The khajiit wrinkled his nose to the thought, he wanted to stab that guard a thousand times over but he had to remain calm for the sake of not getting himself caught. He snuck closer to one barrel, opening the top lid and jumping in to remain hiding also eavesdrop some more. He already forgot about the lovely woman by eavesdropping on the guards, wanting to know more about what they thought they heard.

"We all know that you can't go one day without getting drunk and being yelled at by Loghain"

"Are you into guys! Is that why your saying you heard Loghain making out!" One guard would shout from the other side of the room.

"NO!" the half buzzed guard would shout in irritation, "I wasn't the only one there when I heard it!" he stood up to point at his passed out buddy when he stumbled a bit and ended up pointing at a chicken pecking the ground.

"Oh sure, well then…" the guard standing next to him stood up, barely drunk as he walked straight to the chicken and kneeled down, "Tell us hen, did you hear anything?" he looked at the drunk guard with a sarcastic smirk on his lips. The chicken only looked at man and clucked away to find something to peck, the rest of the men burst out laughing hard and pointing at the drunk.

Sabriz was not surprised to hear that and yet he could not keep himself from snickering as well, he knew he wasn't making out with Loghain. At that time, he was keeping the man away from him when he had his claws on one of the maps.

It was amusing to piss off that guy by just touching his maps and making it funnier by threatening to lick his map if he dared to touch his hat.

(Memory flash back)

"Give back my map, Fool!" Loghain demanded as he took off his gauntlets to hold out his left hand, the khajiit jumped on the man's bed with his dirty boots as he faced the man with a smile.

"No" Sabriz simple said with a giggle, beginning to jump up and down on the bed, opening the map and looking into it.

"Shut that! And give it to me!" Loghain threw his gauntlets and letting it hit the door when he ran for the cat, pouncing on him and pinning him down.

"Oh! So you don't like it when people peek at it" Sabriz laughed while struggling to get the man off, using his tail to wrap around Loghain's neck and making him choke.

The khajiit forced the man to fall back as he pushed himself up and pinning the man down, straddled himself on Loghain's chest to keep the other still.

Loghain found himself pinned, including his hands which were pinned above his head. With one free hand, Sabriz took the chance to look at the map which struggling to keep the other from struggling free.

"That's it!" Loghain yelled before being able to slip one hand free and reached up to grab the jester's hat, when he froze to see his treasured map inches away from that long pink cat tongue.
