Just so readers know, I know Hadvar is a Nord, but does Rayn know it yet? I left her thinking he was an Imperial because she was lead to believe by Nords that Imperials were bad people. So Hadvar is testing her to see if she is racist.
Again, I don't own The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim or any of the characters. Just my own.
Both Rayn and Hadvar slept through the night soundly, the peaceful and cool atmosphere outside made it possible to sleep with the balcony door open.
Once morning arose Hadvar woke up first to see Rayn still asleep. He smiled to himself and stroked her soft hair. She looked so peaceful when she slept. After ten minutes or so of looking at her sleeping he got out of bed and stretched walking over to the table and putting his Imperial armour back on, sheathing his sword at his side and fixing his hair which he never did. He felt the need to look decent around Rayn and not some person who had a bedhead. He quitely stepped out onto the balcony looking over the edge onto the ground below him. He could just make out people below, they looked like little mudcrabs in a beautiful sea of green and blue surroundings. Again, it was a beautiful day out. The sun was high in the sky which means it was about 12 o'clock. That was strange, usually Hadvar would awake at 6 o'clock, he glanced over at Rayn and realised she was the reason he had such a good sleep.
'If I feel so happy after I have slept in the same bed as the girl, how will I feel when we...' Hadvar thought to himself and blushed. He spent enough time thinking about that the night before when she lay next to him looking so seductive and when she lay sleeping in bed.
Rayn began to awake after another two hours of sleep. He rolled over on the bed to realise it was empty.
"Hadvar?"
Looking around the room she realised he must be out or in the dining area. She hoped the Jarl was in a good mood since he was confined to sleep in his young sons bed.
Getting out of bed slowley she looked in the mirror, even with the bandage on her arm she could still see the purple-ish bruises across her shoulder.
"How much muscle has he got?"
"What?"
One blink and Hadvar was standing right behind her, looking right into the mirror at her.
"Oh! You frightened me, Hadvar."
"I apologise, Rayn." He said back with a smile, a perfect smile that would make any girl swoon. "How was your sleep?"
"Oh- great. Thank you and yours?"
"Just as great. I will leave you to get dressed. The maid left a handmade dress for you on the table."
"Dress? Oh no, I only wear armour."
"I know. We're invited to a party tonight in the dining room. In celebration of the new Dovahkiin."
"So everyone will want to meet me?"
He nodded "Yes, alot of people will come from the other cities in Skyrim to meet you. We will sing the Celebration song. It lets the Greybeards know of your presence and Alduin, to warn him."
"Greybeards?"
"Greybeards are an ancient and honored order that dwell in their mountain sanctuary High Hrothgar, the hghest mountain in Skyrim. They have taught all Dovahkiin's the 'Way Of The Voice' as they call it. I suppose it just lets you expand your skills. Learn Dragon Tongue. It is such an honour, you don't know how lucky you are to posess such a powerful gift."
Rayn sighed and closed her eyes, she didn't know what to think. It was a great advantage to have the ability but just thinking about the life she would have to live. Slaying dragons and stealing their souls. It sounded like a horrible future.
"What will we do now, Hadvar?"
"Visit the marketplace in Whiterun, look inside Jorrvaskr, go hunting. It's your decision."
"Let's go hunting." Rayn said with a big smile.
"But what about your arm?"
"I can keep a look-out.
Hadvar nodded "sounds like a good plan. Now, get dressed. Your armour is on the table."
"I can't get it on with this bandage. Can you help me, please?"
Hadvar thought about it for a second, he would love to help the girl but the thought of having to dress her would make him fantasize about undressing her.
"Sure."
Rayn smiled and watched him in the mirror brushing her hair gently from her back, bringing it to one side on her shoulder.
"Your hair is so soft."
Rayn smiled "thank you." she appreciated the compliment she took great care in keeping her hair in good condition "Bee honey, dwarven oil and blue mountain flower mixed together seems to keep my hair fresh for days."
"Dwarven Oil?" Hadvar looked confused "where do you get it? I thought you would have to venture into a Dwarven settlement to get that."
"You do, but I buy it."
"It must be quite expensive. Fifteen gold is expensive for just one ingredient for your hair."
"I know, but with hair like this. It's worth it."
Hadvar smiled and ran his finger along the back of her neck making shivers go down her back and making her blush.
"Is that nice?"
She nodded and blushed "Yes, it is."
"I will give you a massage when your shoulder is better."
Rayn nodded "Thanks."
He slowley undid the knotted bandage that secured her arm, taking it off and holding her arm gently he moved it so it rested at her side "does it hurt?"
"No."
He picked up her leather armour and gently put her arms into it, securing the leather straps at the front. Next, he took the leather greaves and put them on her one leg at a time and securing them also. He noticed she had really smooth legs since her pants only came below her knees.
"Your legs aren't all rough from shaving. They're quite soft. Do you use the same thing for your hair?"
"No, I actually use Mammoth cheese."
Hadvar screwed his face up, as if he was smelling something very bad or thinking of a disgusting taste "Mammoth cheese, both dangerous to get and disgusting."
"I know, it is very foul but it's good for my legs when mixed with some honey. It doesn't smell bad. Wow, you certinely like to inspect my body don't you?" She said with a smile.
Hadvar smiled back and picked up her boots placing them on both feet. Next, he placed her leather gloves on and her bandage again.
"You carry just a dagger?"
Rayn shook her head and placed the dagger in the side of her leather boot- it was only used as a last resort of if attacks were too close.
"I use bow and arrows and magic. I got my bow stolen from me back when the Imperials caught me. I think it's in Helgen."
"A bow, dagger and magic?" Hadvar asked shocked, all he could use was a one-handed sword and shield but was very skilled at it.
Rayn nodded "But like I said I've never really had much experience with them. I would use the bow and arrow to kill deer and foxes. The dagger to skin them and the magic to either kill my prey, put them into a false sense of security or to heal them sometimes."
"The bow- there were lots in Helgen, from Iron to Deadric. Explain its appearance and maybe I can tell you if it is there."
"Well..." She thought for a couple of seconds "it's my great-great-grandfathers bow. It's glass, but it's not green, it's blue. Like the waterfalls in Markarth on a sunny day. With long white tendrils attached to the end made from Tundra Cotton and Void Salt. It's very heavy and expensive since it's not entirely made from glass. It had the soul of a Dremora in it, but my ancestors used it for the good of everything, from defending the city from intruders, catching their own food or to just defend themselves the red, evil colour to the bow eventually became a pure, good blue."
He nodded "Wow, I've never heard of anything like it. We will depart as soon as we can to Helgen."
"We're going to Helgen?" She asked shocked, she hadn't expected he would care about a stupid bow "you don't need to risk your life. I overheard a guard talking about bandits that reside in Helgen now and there are still dragons. It will take a couple hours journey. What about the celebration and the song?"
Hadvar shook his head "don't worry, Rayn. We will get the bow and get back in time. I always do what plan to" he said looking at her in the mirror "I brought you to safety didn't I?"
Rayn smiled and nodded "Okay, but two of us and a dozen or so bandits we don't stand a chance. Who else will come?"
Hadvar sighed "I don't have any close friends back in Solitude, the guards would probably run for their lives if they saw a bandit weilding something bigger than their head. I have an idea but I'm not sure about them coming with us."
"Who?"
"Someone who I despise very much. Of course, HE wouldn't tag along with me if I was alone. But if he hears YOU'RE coming, he will definitely jump at the oppertunity."
"Oh..." She said, she didn't like the idea but the thought of holding her grandfathers bow in her hand made her smile "Okay, should we go now?"
"Yes, but we should eat first. I'm sure the Jarl is waiting for us and our reward. I know the townsfolk will be crowded around again to reward the Imperial and the Dragonborn."
I'm thinking about doing another Skyrim roleplay aswell as a Naruto (Orochimaru X Anko) Avatar (OC X Tsu'tey?) if it is spelled like that and a Silent Hill (Pyramid Head X OC) give me some ideas I'm dying to write some more. Thanks for reading and review!
