They all sat there, unsure of what to do. Never before had they had a chance to do what they wanted. The thought was odd. To not have to worry about a job or anything. They honestly just had no idea on what to do with themselves. But they didn't pay to rent the house to to sit around all day. They needed to go out and enjoy something.

" How about a ride!" Delvin suggested. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged. Why not? It wasn't like they had anything else to do.

" Delvin I swear to the divines if you cut me off one more time I will stomp you into the god damn ground and leave you to eat my dust!" Vex growled. Delvin flashed her a daring smile.

" Kyra wouldn't let you do that to me."
" She gave you a fair warning. She can do what she wants."

Vex puffed her chest out as his smile was wiped off his face.
" That's what happens when you befriend the guild master." Vex threw in his face.

" Brynjolf."
Brynjolf turned his head and saw Niruin ride up next to him.

" What do you suppose we do on her actual birthday?"

" Perhaps we could make her a cake?" Rune suggested. Cynric let out a laugh behind them.
" We're thieves, not chefs. I think we would end up making more of a mess than a cake."
Tonillia frowned. " What makes you think that Sapphire or I can't cook?"

" Well can you?"
She paused for a moment then looked in front of her. " I suppose you're right."

Sapphire let out a sigh and made her horse step forward. " You know Tonilia, Vex and I are pretty close with Kyra ourselves. Perhaps if you would grow a pair and ask us what it is she would like then maybe you'll figure it out. But I know you. You men are too damn stubborn to think about asking a woman for help."

" How could you possibly know what she wants?" Vipir asked with hidden attitude. Sapphire's jaw tightened in annoyance. Then Tonillia spoke before Sapphire had the chance to.

" You do realize that we are the only women in this guild. Bonding and talking to men isn't exactly the most comfortable thing for a woman to do. Especially for Kyra. She's young, has plenty of things on her mind besides her dragonborn and guildmaster business. She has her personal problems and desires too."

" Desires?" Brynjolf's ears perked up." What type of desires?"

Sapphire spat. " As if we will tell you. Until you have the balls to ask Tonillia, Vex and I personally we are leaving you out of our surprise for her. You're on you own."

The two girls began to catch up to the three who rode ahead of them. Then Tonillia stopped and peered back at them over her shoulder.
" Oh. You only have six days to figure something out." And with that she turned around and moved on.
" Brynjolf there has to be something we can do." Rune pleaded. Brynjolf's eyes hardened on the two pests in front of them.

" We will figure something out." He mumbled. Oh how he could only hope. Six days. Six days was all he had, and something told him that they would pass quicker than he'd hope.

They kept riding, unsure of where they were going. Then again they didn't really care. Kyra had rounded the corner and felt herself gasp. There laid a beautiful lagoon, peaceful and untouched. The tree canopies tangled together and created the perfect shading above it.

Thrynn got off his house and began to run towards it, stripping his tunic off in the process. Then, without hesitation, he dove in head first. Kyra let out a laugh as she shielded herself from the splashing water then watched him surface.
" Now that's what I'm talking about!"

Vipir quickly followed behind, repeating the same steps as Thrynn. Soon nearly all of them had piled in, all except the girls. Brynjolf surfaced and looked back at them sitting on their horses.

" Come on! You girls know you want to join!" Rune teased.
" I know I'll end up regretting this." Vex mumbled as she slipped her shoes off, got off her horse and ran in. There was a cheer and next they were able to sucker in Sapphire then Tonilla. Then all eyes settled on Kyra.

" Do it Kyra!" Vex called out. Kyra shook her head softly.

" I question whether I'm your boss or your babysitter sometimes."

" You're neither right now. You're our teammate."

" The great dragonborn is too chicken to come swimming with us." Brynjolf smirked. Kyra rolled her eyes.
" As if."
" Then do it. Jump in and prove me wrong lass."

Kyra's eyes settled on him as she paused. Finally she gave a sigh and with a thump her riding boots landed on the floor. Then with a graceful dive she joined the others. The guild gave a roar as she emerged, brushing her hair back.

" The lass has finally let go!"

Kyra laughed and splashed his softly. But Brynjolf took it to a whole other level. A huge wave over came her and she let out a shriek. The guild enjoyed the sight of the two getting along before they were dragged in. Their laughs and screams filled the air. Surely who ever was traveling by would hear them but they didn't care.

Brynjolf was able to take a few moments to look at her as she played. Her hair had darkened from being wet and her bangs were out of her face completely, giving her a new look. One that he found adorable. As if it made her look as if she were in her teenage years rather than her early twenties.

Ah but she was his lass and his lass alone. He just couldn't stop from sneaking up behind her and pulling her under. Above the water the muffled commotion of the fight continued on. Kyra had thought he had been joking around. Then she felt him press his lips to hers. It had been the only way he could steal a moment alone at that time and he wasn't going to wait until they got back. He wasn't sure what compelled him to do it, but seeing her the way she was alone drove him insane.
Then as quickly as it happened they surfaced and were quickly attacked again, not giving Kyra much time to react to what happened. Six days. He could think of something in six days . . . right?
