Entry 22
Middas, 10th of Heartfire
Well, after a blissful honeymoon, it is back to business again. This one and Vilkas returned to Jorrvaskr this morning and were showered with gifts from the Companions and Inigo. Aela crafted her a bow, Torvar gave this one a keg of Blackbriar mead, Farkas gave this one some flowers, and Inigo gave this one an enchanted circlet. "Your archery needs work, my friend, maybe this well help." He said. This one spent a few hours training the newer members and went to Kodlak's quarters (now hers) and found Vilkas on the bed, a book in hand, and Inigo sitting in a chair beside him.
"King is a great book. Reven is an amazing author." Inigo said, peering over his shoulder.
"Aye, that is true. You have good tastes, fuzzball."
"As do you, dogbreath! I have read all of his books. There is not a single one I dislike."
"He is incapable of writing a bad book! I rested my haunches in Jorrvaskr for a day to finish reading Thief. His style is unrivaled."
"Same, I could not put it down! I nearly starved myself to finish reading. Ah, but King is better. What a page-turner!"
"No. Thief is his best work. It uses all of his skills and experiences."
Their conversation went on forever! Khajiit could hardly believe her ears. They finally had something to bond over. This one believes Vilkas may have felt replaced by Inigo's sudden presence in our adventures. Maybe they will get along better now?
This one believes she has been forgetting something. A task, yes? A most important one? Ah, yes! The assassins! Correct? Well, Khajiit knows a way to get them off her back. There is a boy in Windhelm trying to get the horrible woman that runs Honorhall Orphanage in Riften killed. Aventus Arentino.
If Khajiit goes to him, pretends to be an assassin and steals the kill, she cannot imagine the Dark Brotherhood would be happy about it. Of course, this one is not in any hurry to visit Windhelm and so Vilkas must come along for support. But this is important.
Yet, it is not the task she wished to undertake. Something about dragons? A barrow? Or no? Khajiit cannot remember.
Wait. This one remembers. The trader in Riverwood wanted this one to retrieve his stolen ornate claw from Bleak Falls Barrow! And the court wizard of Whiterun wished for this on—on the Jarl's request—to fetch a stone tablet that had something to do with dragons! Khajiit can't believe she forgot! So much has happened.
Well, this Khajiit has seen no dragons in her travels but if Whiterun would benefit from the information this tablet might possess, this one would be stupid not to get it. Just because there are no dragons now aside from that big black beast at Helgen doesn't mean there may not be more. Off to Bleak Falls Barrow!
