I walked down the streets of Whiterun with Karnwyr and Bishop at my side. The flow of my dress felt comfortable compared to my armor. But I didn't dare let it sit there out in the open of our room. I locked it away in a chest that only a high thieve's guild member could break past so I had no worries. With a basket resting against my hip as i walked I began to purchase meat for Karnwyr as well as other food for our trips.
" Here Karnwyr," I say as I hold out a piece of raw meat. He gave a wag of his tail and took it gently from my hands. I smiled and gave him a light pet before continuing on.
" That girl seemed really attracted to you." I say, referring to the woman from last night. Bishop shrugged.
" Must be my animal magnetism."
" She came to you when I was in the bath?" I asked as I eyed him.
" Yes."
" You're not going to tell me what happened?"
A part of me wanted to see what he would say. Did he truly mean it when he said I was special or did he just say it to get her off his back?
" No. It's none of your business."
I couldn't help but be agitated. To think that he wouldn't tell me. To think maybe what he said wasn't true.
" Maybe I'd like to know." I pushed.
" Being nosy isn't very lady-like." He teased as he crossed his arms.
" Who ever said I was lady-like?"
" If I didn't know any better I'd say you were jealous." He sneered with a devilish smirk. I kept my eyes even with him. It was clear that he was purposely trying to anger me.
" And what if I was?" I snapped back. Bishop's grin was wiped off his face with shock. I stood there silently and waited for an answer but he just stood there like an idiot. So I turned and continued on with what I was doing without looking back at him.
" Are you ready?" I asked as I saddled up the two horses we had bought from the stables. Solitude was going to be a long journey, we were going to need a lot of supplies that were too heavy to carry.
" Yea, I am."
I hooked my foot in the spur and hoisted myself up and over.
" Kira-"
I looked back at Bishop with my horse stomping, ready to go.
" Were you really jealous over that girl?"
I turned the reins and cocked my head to the side.
" Yes."
I don't think he was expecting such a blunt answer.
" She was flirting with you, not to mention she was terrible at it."
" But why would you care?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes and trotted up next to me.
" Why not? Why do you care when other guys flirt with me?"
That seemed to piss him off.
" I told you not to flatter yourself." He scoffed as he started to ride.
" I heard there was a ball in Solitude," I started to say," I hope we get there in time."
" Why would you want to go to something like that?"
" I don't know. It might be nice to wear a gown, dance in the moon light."
" That doesn't sound like something a dragonborn would do." He teased.
" Just because I'm dragonborn doesn't mean I don't have those dreams like the rest of the women. I'm still a girl after all."
I had never really had any time to treat myself to anything. If I wasn't fighting a dragon then I was training, if I wasn't training I was fighting, if I wasn't fighting I was working. To think of actually stepping back for once and being swept off my feet and fall into one of those pages of a fairytales-
" Well I'm not going."
" Why not?" I frowned.
" That type of stuff is stupid. I'd be dead before I was caught at one of those."
I couldn't help but feel my heart drop a little.
" I see."
Solitude was amazing as I knew it would be. So bright and lovely, everyone getting ready for the ball yet to come. While Bishop checked in our horses and dropped our stuff off at the Inn he gave me the chance to sneak away. I ran my way towards the bard college and instantly found her. She hadn't changed at all. The red hair, the brown eyes and that friendly smile.
"Rosa!"
I paused and smiled and she turned. There was a moment exchanged between us then we darted at each other.
" Oh Kira, how I've missed you."
Bishop watched them talk for hours upon hours at the inn. Kira had seen so happy, her smile never truly disappeared while talking to her. She'd hold her stomach and laugh while covering her mouth, her eyes becoming watery. He could barely make out what they had been saying.
" No way, what did your teacher do?"
" She never found out it was me." Rosa smiled devilishly.
" You always were a prankster." Kira chuckled. " Are you going to the ball?"
" I can't, I've got a presentation to prepare for. Are you?"
Kira frowned and leaned against the table.
" I want to but-"
" But he won't go?"
" Well . . . no."
Rosa eye's flashed over to Bishop then back at Kira.
" He's not that bad looking. Not to mention he looks like he can handle himself."
" He's confusing. It's like he is pulling me back and forth on a rope. I don't know how to feel."
" Whoa, whoa, are you saying that you actually might be interested in a guy."
Kira stayed silent and looked at her feet. Rosa couldn't help but cheer and hug her. Never before had she seen her best friend hung up over some man. Or even catch her eye.
" I'm guessing that's what I'm feeling." Kira continued as Rosa squeezed her.
" We are going to get him to fall so hard for you that he won't even realize it."
" How will you do that?"
Rosa glanced at Bishop again. She could see it. Kira was all over him.
" I have a feeling it'll be easy."
