Will turned to Hadvar and followed him through the door. The room was simple, decorated with simple wooden furnishings and torches. Harvard turned to Will and looked him over. Will held out his arms and Hadvar jumped forward into action.
"Come here. Let's see if we can get those bindings off." Will was grateful as the ropes fell from his wrists. He rubbed the chafed skin as Hadvar surveyed the room. "Looks like their could be some gear in one of those chests. Look around and grab whatever you need." Will turned to a row of beds, each with a chest at the foot of the opened a few, but could only find swords and leather armor.
"This may sound odd," Will said, "seeing as you seem like a knight yourself, but would you happen to have a bow I could use instead of a sword?" Will was trying to make that seem like a normal request, but if this land was anything like Skandia, that would seem odd. And, as thought, Hadvar got a confused look on his face.
"Yes..." He said, sounding confused. He pulled a bow off of his back, how did that get there?, and handed it to Will. He also gave Will a full quiver of two dozen arrows. As Will tested the bow, Hadvar began muttering to himself.
"Why does it feel like I should be doing this later..." He shook his head and his face returned to normal. "No matter. We need to focus on getting out of here." He looked back to Will. "I'm guessing you wont be wearing armor?" Will looked sheepishly back at him and shook his head.
"It isn't really in my style, no. Do you happen to have some sort of cloak? And some clothes that aren't tattered?" Hadvar reached into his satchel.
"Here you go," he said, pulling out a bundle of clothes. " I don't have a cloak, but you can borrow a set of clothes for now. Here." He handed Will the bundle, and Will graciously took them. While he changed, Hadvar sat on one of the beds
"A dragon." He breathed, taking in the reality of the situation all at once. He looked over to Will. "And some strange man, who uses bows and no armor. You aren't from Cyrodill, are you?" Will looked at him.
"No, I'm not."

Woo! Christmas! Well, this was a nice little chapter (emphasis on little- holidays and all) but we got to see Will, in the space of a minute, throw the game storyline off track and reveal his secret all in one swoop. How the citizens of Skyrim will react is beyond me, for now. Myahahahaha.
In personal news, I got a Kindle Fire! Woo! It is quite nice, and has a unique writing feature- you can write words in one movement by running your finger across the keyboard and hitting the main letters of the word. In fact, that entire sentence was written that way. It's quite nice, really, an makes for some fun typing. But anyway, back to playing around with all of the cool little features!
