Narissa reaches the palace and slips through the front door. She walks past the tables and people eating and wanders over to the war room where Ulfric is sitting at the table looking bored as a few others are talking to him about who knows what. Narissa watches for a few minutes when Ulfric looks up and locks his eyes onto Narissa's in a seemingly quiet plea for help. Narissa clears her throat and the conversation gets cut off and everyone turns and looks at her. Narissa bows slightly and looks straight at Ulfric.
"My jarl, I'm so sorry to interrupt but there is a matter that needs to be discussed with you about our position at Whiterun. "
Ulfric cocks his head and stands up. "This meeting is done for the night. We will meet again tomorrow to finish this."
The men bow and Narissa moves over to the side and allow all the men to pass her as they leave the room quickly. Once the last one has passed, Nari turns in the door way and folds her arms in front of her chest and raises an eyebrow. Nari starts laughing as Ulfric puts his head down on the table. Narissa continues to chuckle as she drops down in the seat next to him. He sits like there for a few more moments and then lifts his head looking at her with a smile. She blushes and smiles.
"So, I went down to the Grey Quarter today..." She fades off watching Ulfric. He nods and seems to wait for her to continue. "And I was hoping that you would be so kind as to allow me some supplies to help them out...?"
It seemed to come out as a question, which she hadn't meant for, but it was there. Ulfric watches her as if thinking through to the answer. There was a few minutes of silence as Narissa starts to shift, wondering if she was being too bold in asking.
"What kind of supplies would be needed?" Ulfric says carefully.
"Wood and nails. I talked to the owner of the New Gnisis Cornerclub and he told me the stat of disrepairs and I think that if I helped them and showed them that not all Nords are terrible people then they would be more likely to follow their Jarl."
"What other problems is the Grey Quarter facing?" He asks pouring two glasses of mead and handing her one. She smiles and takes it.
"The streets are filthy, there are no lights, and the nords seem to be harassing the people who live there. Among a few other issues like leaky roofs and more holes in buildings." Nari shrugs slightly and takes a sip of her mead and sets it down.
Ulfric sighs slightly and runs a hand through his hair which isn't anything she's seen before.
"That meeting that I was in before you saved me was about the dunmer and the Grey Quarter and how we should try and get rid of them and things like that. It didn't seem like they were trying to fix it."
"Then let me help my Jarl. Don't forget I am not bound by a council." Narissa says smiling.
"Please call me Ulfric. But why are you willing to help me?" He asks taking a sip of his mead and watching her closely.
She looks at him and shrugs. "I don't like seeing people struggle for help who need it. I like helping people and it is helping your people and you are helping me and mine. A lot of people believe your ruthless and unkind Ulfric Stormcloak and I don't buy that. You took me in and sent troops to Whiterun all on my words. You didn't have to help but you did."
Ulfric snorts softly and smiles. "I'm entirely unkind but I'm not trusting either. Do you believe this will help my cause and my people?"
Narissa stands up and picks up her drink.
"This is what Skyrim needs. Skyrim needs a leader who will protect all her people. Nords and the others who call Skyrim home need someone they can trust, and I believe that if you help the people in your Hold that it will spread across Skyrim. Nords aren't the only ones who call Skyrim home Ulfric." Narissa states quietly.
She bows to him and leaves to let him think. She grabs a plate of food quickly and walks to her room.
The next morning Narissa jumps out of bed and hurries up and gets dressed and runs out of her room to the throne room where she stops and notices Ulfric sitting at his throne. Narissa walks to the table and sits down grabbing a sweetroll.
"The supplies that was requested of me are gathered and awaiting a location." Ulfric says glancing at Nari.
She looks up and smiles. "The New Gnisis Cornerclub would be great. Thank you so much Ulfric!"
Narissa smiles and stands up bowing slightly as Galmar starts coughing. She leaves and slips out of the door. Galmar looks at Ulfric and smiles.
"I'll be taking the mead you owe me tonight thank you!"
Ulfric rolls his eyes at his friend and sighs slightly.
Narissa makes her way quickly through the Grey Quarter and hops over the supplies and enters the Cornerclub and closes the door. Ambarys looks up from the bar and smiles walking out from behind it. Nari giggles and opens the door to show all the supplies waiting. Ambarys stops walking and looks at Nari in disbelief.
"Are you ready?" She asks holding up two hammers.
Ambarys nods and smiles taking one of the hammers and they get to work. Ambarys goes up to the roof and starts patching it up and Narissa starts patching up the walls and floor. Replacing the broken boards and nailing down the new ones. There were more than a few times when dust would fall on her and she would start laughing and wipe herself off. A few hours later they were standing in the middle of the bar having finished the roof and both floors. Ambarys turns to Nari and gives her a huge hug.
"Thank you so much for helping me." Narissa smiles brightly and hugs back.
"This wouldn't have been possible without the Jarl."
"The Jarl helped you?!" He asked.
"Yes, I asked him for supplies to help out the Grey Quarter and this morning it was delivered." Narissa says looking around again at their work.
"I must go see him sometime soon." Ambarys says smiling.
