" What is it you that you two needed?" Kyra asked as she and Brynjolf walked up to Vex and Delvin. " Is everything ok? No one is hurt are they?"
" No we are fine."

" So what is it you two needed to tell us?" Brynjolf asked carefully.

" It's good news actually." Delvin started. " When we were out in town earlier today someone asked us for our help. They requested you two in specific."
" Us? That doesn't sound safe." Kyra admited.

" I agree with the lass. What is it they wanted."
" Well it sounds like they are willing to pay a lot. It was an older woman and her husband. They asked for you two to travel to Solitude when possible and they will tell you more about it."

Kyra and Brynjolf looked at each other for a moment, deciding on what to do.

" How do we know who to look for?" She asked.

Vex shrugged. " They said you would know. It's up to you. I honestly think that it'll be the last step to push us back on top. But if you two don't feel safe then don't do it. Regardless, it's up to you to decide. Oh and Kyra, remember it might be the chance you need to do what we uh . . . discussed, yesterday."

Then they left the two decided whether or not they were to take the chance.

They were on their forth day when Solitude's lights came into view. They'd stop for the night and settle down. Kyra swung her leg over her horse and she settled down on the ground.

" We should get there by there tomorrow." She spoke as she stretched.

" Thank goodness, I don't think I can take much more of riding."
Kyra began to pitch their tent with Brynjolf's help. As she held up the sticks he took the piece of leather and tied to to stay sturdy. As they continued on Kyra began to wonder if it was smart for them to come. Perhaps they should have stayed home but knowing that this may be the one thing to push them over the edge, well she had to take a chance and so did Brynjolf.

" You said you were born in Solitude didn't you lass?" Brynjolf asked as she finished setting up the rest of tent.

" So you do remember." She smirked as she glanced up at him.

" How could I forget? You'd never let it down if I forgot."

" Yeah, you're right."

She gave him a daring look. The same one that always drove him insane.

" So are you going to tell me what it was like?" He asked as they settled down next to each other. She waited for him to assemble the wood together then a flame sprouted in her hand.

" You mean my childhood?" She asked as she lowered her hand down to the twigs, letting the fire crawl over. " It was the same as anyone else besides the dragonborn part."
" Well what were your parents like?"

" My parents were like typical people. I had three younger sisters."
" By the divines!" He nearly choked on the air. Kyra let out a small laugh.
" Yea, tell me about it. I could never have my own privacy, couldn't even talk about a guy without them sticking their nose into my business. But I loved them."
He tried to think about a younger version of her. She was probably feisty but something told him that she looked after her younger sisters and cherished them with all her heart. He began to think. What type would have caught her eye? Was the the merchants son? Or maybe someone stronger like a soldier.

" Did you go to the bard college? After all, it's one of the things Solitude is famous for."

" No, I wasn't into that."

" Somehow I think you're bullshitting me."

She gave a shrug. " Maybe I am."

" Sing something."
" I'm a thief, not a woman trying to win you over by singing you to sleep."
" Speaking of winning me over. What happened to your promise? You're in charge of the guild now." He said as he leaned in close to her. Kyra turned her head and faced him, not cowering away when she realized just how close he was.

" I don't see you trying to win me over, nord."

" If I tried you wouldn't be able to handle it."
She brought her lips just above his. " Try me."

Brynjolf growled to himself. He knew what she was doing. She was trying to get him to cave in first. Well he wasn't going to give in that easily. It would be her falling him not the opposite.

She smirked then pulled back, leaving him breathless.

" When you think you can convince me to love you let me know." She teased as she stepped into the tent. But little did he know that it took just as much strength for her to hold back as it had for him.

Brynjolf woke up to a small stir beside him. He opened his eyes and spotted Kyra turning so she faced him. Her eyes were still closed as she continued on with her sleep.

She laid in her dress that she had changed into the night before so she could be more comfortable. But a small breeze snuck through the edges of the tent and made her shiver. Brynjolf didn't hesitate as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his bare chest. She stirred for a moment but he quickly hushed her back to sleep.
" Keep sleeping lass. We can stay for another hour before we head out."

She nodded, either not fully registering her position or just not caring. She relaxed and her eyes fluttered closed as she got closer. Brynjolf's hand played with her hair as she tugged the furs up over her shoulder. He brought his lips down to her forehead, planting a gentle kiss.
Kyra felt her cheeks warm. She was going to make a smart remark when instead she found herself getting closer him. Shyly, she brushed her legs against his. Soon they were tangled together in a mess. His heat, his touch, it all drowned her. Yes, this would be the most amazing hour in her entire life.
