Kyra rode into Solitude with Brynjolf by her side. It had been so long since she had returned home. Between fulfilling Dragonborn duties and the guild it seemed as if she barely had time to breath as it was. As she looked around she realized it hadn't changed much. It was still lively, there were kids still chasing each other around playing tag and adults drinking away at the tavern. It was still just as huge, just as intimidating and welcoming all at the same time. It was still home.

" I'd like a room please." She spoke as she walked into the tavern. The owner nodded and showed them to their room. Once they were there they added the toughest locks to pick to their chest should anyone want to be sneaky. Even the best of the thieves couldn't pick it. Their insanity would catch up with them before they could unlock it. Inside was their nightingale armor. If they wore it out in broad daylight then they'd attract too much attention so instead they stuck with their casual wear.

" So now that we are here," Brynjolf started as he closed the door, " How do you suppose we look for our clients lass?"

" I'm not sure myself. I wish Vex had given us more information. But something tells me that they told us everything they were given." She sighed as she laid back on the bed. Just the luxury to lay on one almost made her moan in happiness.

" I suppose we could look around town. Maybe get an idea."

" Yeah, perhaps in a few moments." She yawned as she got more comfortable on the bed.

" Come on lass, we already slept in an hour this morning." He urged as he walked over to the bed and bumped slightly into the bed.

" Yea, on the hard floor." She mumbled her words in between her yawns.

" You can sleep tonight. Now come on. Up, up." He pushed her shoulder but she only rolled onto her back.

" But I'm home . . . I'm . . . at-" Her words trailed off into the air. Brynjolf shook his head. He could understand why she fell victim to her fatigue. If she was any where else she would have been able to fight it. But the fact she was at home, the place she was born and raise, well it added a feeling of safety nothing else could provide for her. That is what made her weak to her fatigue. So he'd let her sleep. Only because he could remember the countless amount of times she hadn't woken him up for his shift during their first jobs together just so he could get those few hours extra of sleep. He'd finally be able to repay her.

Locking the door to the room, he made his way down stairs and out into the city. He'd explore by himself for now.

Solitude was huge compared to Riften. Not to mention it had much more wealth. He felt a little out of place but after an hour's worth of taking notes of the people around him he easily fit into the crowd. Now to look for who was wanting to hire them.

He searched every inch of the town from top to bottom. Surely if they wanted to hirer them they'd know what he and Kyra looked like wouldn't they? If walking out in the open wasn't enough then he wasn't sure if they would ever be able to find them.

He finally took a seat outside of the bard college. He knew it. It was all just a waste of time and effort. Well no, it wasn't entirely a waste. He managed to have more time with Kyra. That was never a terrible thing for him.

" Um excuse me?"

He lifted his head and saw an older woman standing in front of him. Perhaps the she and Kyra knew each other before she had left.
" Are you Brynjolf?"
Brynjolf eyed her carefully.
" Aye."

" Could you please follow me?"

He really shouldn't have gone anywhere without Kyra but he just couldn't let this chance slip through his fingers. So he stood and followed her through town.


" Thank you for traveling so far. You're friends back at home, they are very kind people." The woman smiled.

Kind. Yes, that was possible even for a thief.
" I'm glad to hear that our men are treating you well." He nodded as the young girl sat a cup of tea in front of him.
" Speaking of we, were is the young lady that should be with you?" Her husband asked.

" She, uh, is catching up on her rest."

They both nodded in unison.

" What is it you needed us for?" Brynjolf asked, moving onto the subject.

" Ah yes. Here it is." He reached into his pocket and laid out a map. " Here is a map to a company that we would like to find. It's been threatening our business for years and we are tired of dealing with it."

Brynjolf listened as they continued on with all the information that he needed. They honestly seemed like wonderful people. Very kind, very honest. He could understand why they were done with this companies torment.
He took the map and excused himself from the house once they were done. He was sure that this was a mission Kyra would be excited to take on.
