(Selene-centric during Helgen, another First person debacle.)
They were arguing? Now?
The city is falling apart and they were just standing there. After a piece of a wall fell nearby I ran to the nearest door, slamming it shut behind me. The room was tall, stone, and domed making it easy to hear the commotion outside.
There are two doors here, both are barred enough that I can't slip through. There are bigger squares above one and a lever behind the other, but I'm still sore from jumping out of that tower so I try the lever first. I glance at the door before sticking my hand through one of the rectangles closest to the lever.
My fingers are just touching it, if I could just get one one more inch…
"What are you doing?"
The voice is familiar but I yank my arm from between the bars and unsheathe my dagger anyway.
"Woah!" he said as I turned around, "I'm just looking to get out of here too." He coughs, looking around, and sees the dead Stormcloak across the room, "did you do that?"
I hold up my clean dagger in response.
"Right." He kneels down by his dead comrade, "you should take his armor. He won't be needing it anymore."
"Is it magic armor?"
"What?"
"How is it going to fit me? Your friend can keep his modesty." It's the truth, I can't even take his shoes.
He grunted in response and walks over to the other door, "My name's Ralof, by the way." After fiddling with it for moment, "it's locked." by that time I'm next to him, dagger back in it's sheath and tied to my waist, hands on the bars and ready to climb up to that square that looks just big enough to fit my hips through.
"What— are you going to leave me here, alone?"
"Not my fault you're to big to slip through." As soon as I lift myself to start climbing we hear, "Kill the prisoners!"
"Son of a bitch." Before I could get to my square a hand grabbed my ankle and yanked me back to the ground, knocking the wind from my lungs. It was one of the legionnaires that had just arrived.
"Die criminal scum!" I kick his exposed knee before his blow could land and the sword hits stone next to my head. Ears ringing, I yank out my dagger and swipe at his face. As the metal comes across his nose he stumbles back, away from me, enough to me to get up and back into another person, the captain who had been extremely intent on killing me. I don't waste anytime in stabbing her. Or trying to, anyway. Her shield is up and she's yelling at the man I knocked over, trying to get him to attack the "damn rebels."
The fight was over pretty quickly though. Turns out two green legionnaires aren't a match for… well, anyone. Eventually my dagger found the Captain's throat and we found a key to help us get further into the tower.
