A low groan escaped Vilkas's lips, he slowly opened his eyes and blinked the blurry vision away. He slowly sat up and than winced in pain remembering his hurt head and that he had a slight hang over. He looked around and than looked down seeing he was still dressed and never went to bed properly. 'What happened last...' He began to think but stopped suddenly remembering. 'Oh..' He felt his face begin to feel warm but he felt himself become a little hard. He quickly shook the feelings away and jumped up out of bed. 'It was nothing just a mistake...' He tried convincing himself as he put new cloths on.
Vilkas walked out of his room and went to Farkas's door knocking on it. He waited a few moments and when no one answered he opened the door and peeked inside. "Farkas?" He called out looking around. He saw that the room was empty, he shut the door and walked into the hall way and to the stairs walking up them.
As he entered the main room he saw only a few companions eating breakfast and he also saw his brother eating and talking to Aela. He furrowed his eyebrows down seeing that June was no where in site. "Where's June?" He asked walking up to Farkas. "Outside." He answered taking a bite out of a sweet roll. Vilkas walked away towards the doors and went outside looking around, he saw Skjor sitting at one of the tables examining his sword. "Where's June?" Vilkas asked Skjor walking up to him. Skjor slightly looked up at him and than nudged his head to the side. "Up there." He replied meaning the Skyforge.
Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows down as he looked up. "What's she doing up there?" He asked looking back down at Skjor. "Working, why do you care?" Skjor asked in his usual firm voice. "I don't." Vilkas quickly answered walking away. Skjor raised an eyebrow and watched him walk away. "Sure." He mumbled underneath his breath and went back to studying his sword testing out how sharp it was.
Vilkas walked up the hill and as he approached closer to the forge he could hear voices, it was June's and Eorlund's voices. "I don't see why they have you up here working for me, I don't need help." Eorlund complained as he hammered a heated blade. "That's the tenth time you've complained within the hour old man, get over it." She said looking away from him annoyed. "Old man?! Watch it girl." He said with a small sneer. June couldn't help but laugh at his reaction.
Vilkas stopped walking and examined them both, he saw Eorlund working the forge and June was standing besides him holding a bunch of finished blades. "Alright while I finish this one I want you to deliver those to Belethor." Eorlund said dropping the heated blade into water. "Why does Belethor need a bunch of swords?" She asked watching the steam rise from the water. "Not sure, doesn't matter, just deliver them and collect the coin than come back here." Eorlund instructed her.
June let out a small sigh and turned around but quickly stopped seeing Vilkas behind her. She suddenly felt butterflies rise up in her stomach but she quickly forced the feelings away and grinned at him. "Finally awake are you? I was wondering if your main duty here was being lazy." She teased him as she walked by. Vilkas blinked and watched her walk away. 'She doesn't seem to..' He began to think to himself but than he just furrowed his eyebrows down and quickly followed her.
June turned her head raising an eyebrow at him. "Need something?" She asked noticing him following her. "I want to talk to you about last night." Vilkas said clearing his throat. June quickly looked away from him. "Why, what happened last night?" She asked him awkwardly. Vilkas looked at her a bit surprised but than he just furrowed his eyebrows back down. "You know what happened, don't you remember?" He asked her. "Not really, I think I had a bit too much to drink, I had a pretty bad hang over this morning." She said with a laugh.
Vilkas blinked in confusion and stopped walking staring at her, June stopped turning around raising an eyebrow at him. "Something wrong?" She asked him keeping her voice steady. Vilkas slightly looked down trying to think, he looked back up at her. "It's nothing, I just wanted to say that even though we shared a drink last night nothing has changed between us and you're still nothing but a thief to me." Vilkas spoke quickly and coldly, than he turned around walking away.
June winced as if he had thrown a knife at her, she looked down feeling her stomach begin to twist into knots. 'Whatever.' She thought to herself biting down on her lip hard. She tried using the pain of her lip to distract her from the feeling she was getting but it didn't work. 'I need to find a way to get away from here..' She thought to herself as bitter thoughts came to her mind.
Vilkas walked towards the training dummies behind Jorrvaskr but Farkas quickly walked up to him stopping him. "What is it Farkas?" He asked him a slightly harsh voice. Farkas raised his eyebrows at Vilkas a bit surprised by his attitude. "Something wrong?" He asked him. "No, just have a head ache still." Vilkas slowly answered him walking over to the dummies. "Well I'd guess it was from the drinking, and that old bandage is probably causing pain to your injury, you only needed it for one night." Farkas said crossing his arms.
Vilkas stopped and raised his hand touching the bandage. "I forgot I had it on." He said trying to reach the end of it to take it off. "Come here I'll do it." A females voice came from behind him. He turned around seeing it was Njada, he couldn't help but sneer a little bit. He didn't like Njada, sure she was strong but she was too angry and seemed it was for attention, and she always bothered him. "No I got it." He quickly answered her. "Don't be stubborn and stupid!" She yelled putting her hands on her hips.
Vilkas quickly looked away from her getting annoyed. "Like I said I can get it, if I can't than Farkas can." He said with a firm voice. "I bet you'd rather have that thief do it." She said sneering at him. Vilkas quickly looked at her with a glare. "Watch your tongue if you want to keep it." Vilkas said angrily. Njada smiled at his reaction. "Only making it more suspicious Vilkas." She said crossing her arms and walking away.
Vilkas sighed in aggravated and looked at Farkas. "Can you get it for me?" He asked. "Sure." Farkas said walking over. He carefully took the bandage and removed it from his head, he examined the wound. "It looks like it's healing fine now." He said balling up the bandage and walking away. Vilkas grabbed a sword that was laying against the wall and started to slash at the dummies.
June dropped all the swords onto the counter, some of them fell off and hit the floor. "Hey watch it!" Belethor yelled quickly picking up the swords off the ground. "So what do you need these for?" She asked him tilting her head. "There's a war going on, with war there's profit!" He answered with a wide smile. "So you're making profit off of blood basically?" She said raising an eyebrow at him. "W-what..I didn't mean.." He stuttered dropping a couple of swords. "Whatever, not my place to judge." She said turning around walking away from him. "Wait!" He called out quickly reaching into his pouch. "Almost forgot this." He said handing her a coin purse.
June nodded to him taking the coin purse and than walking towards the door out of the shop. "No dammit leave me alone!" June heard a woman's shout. She turned seeing it was Carlotta and she was yelling at the bard Mikael. "How much longer are you going to play hard to get Carlotta?" Mikael asked with a cocky attitude. Carlotta crossed her arms sneering at him in disgust. Mikael grinned and opened his mouth to speak more but was quickly cut off by an apple hitting him hard on the shoulder.
He winced and quickly turned around see June. "Hey what the hell!" He yelled at her holding his shoulder. "Oh my bad, my hand slipped, I was aiming for your head." She said with a wide smile and chuckle. "That was assault! Guard do something!" He yelled at a guard standing between Belethors shop and Arcadia's Cauldron. June looked back at him and than smile realizing which one it was, being a thief did have its advantages. A thief always had a back up plan and that was mainly dirt on others especially the guards, it was June's lucky day that it so happened to be this guard.
The guard who was having an affair with Arcadia, that's why he always stood so close to her shop. "I uh...I didn't see anything." The guard said quickly looking away from them. "Did you hear that? He didn't see anything." June said winking at Mikael. Mikael glared at her but than a grin appeared on his face. "Oh I see what this is." He said casually walking over to her. June raised an eyebrow watching him. "You're jealous that Carlotta is getting all the attention aren't you?" He said with a grin on his face.
June sneered at him in disgust. "Oh please." She said looking away and crossing her arms. "Don't deny it, you're smitten by me and my wonderful voice." He kept going on about himself. June looked at him raising an eyebrow. "You're so full of it, you must be really desperate for attention, did your mommy not hug you enough when you were a child?" She said with a smirk on her face. Mikael sneered at her. "You shouldn't talk to me like that." He said with a firm voice. "Why what are you going to do?" She asked him raising an eyebrow.
Mikael glared at her deeply. "You're nothing but a milk drinker." June insulted him with a wide grin on her face. "Alright that's it!" He yelled throwing his fist at her but she quickly ducked making him stumble forward. June pointed and laughed at him, Mikael glared at her again and swung another fist at her but she jumped back making him miss again. "It almost looks like you're trying to dance, and failing." June said with more laughter. "Shut up!" He yelled coming after her again.
Vilkas sighed in frustration as he looked around for June. "Dammit where is that woman.." He mumbled to himself. They sent him to go look for her since she was taking so long. He couldn't help but start to feel a little panicked as he worried that she might of escaped. 'Dammit..' He thought to himself feeling his stomach tie into knots. He started to jog towards the Market Place hoping to find her there or somewhere near it, as he approached the stairs that lead down to the Market Place he was nearly knocked over by a woman running right into him.
That woman was June, he looked at her surprised and she looked back at him just as surprised to see him, she quickly looked back behind her with her smile returning as she quickly twirled around Vilkas. He watched her confused and before he could say anything he suddenly felt a fist hit his gut. "Oof!" He coughed out quickly looking back forward seeing it was Mikael. "Crap.." Mikael said looking a bit scared realizing it was one of the companions.
Vilkas slowly glared at him. "What do you think you're doing.." Vilkas slowly spoke with anger in his voice. "It was an accident I was trying to hit her!" Mikael yelled and pointed at June as he began to panic. Vilkas's eye twitched in anger. "Big mistake." Vilkas said deeply glaring at him. "Look I-" Mikael began to speak but before he could finish Vilkas lifted his foot up kicking him down the stairs.
June pointed and laughed hard, Vilkas quickly looked back at her with a small annoyed glare. June looked at him raising an eyebrow keeping the smile on her face. "What?" She asked putting her hands on her hips. "You're nothing but trouble." He sighed shaking his head. "But that makes me more fun though." She said winking at him. "Come on, Kodlak wanted to see us." He said walking past her. June watched him and than started to follow him back to Jorrvaskr.
