Vilkas watched Farkas finish paying for the things they bought, the shop keeper handed Vilkas the bag. "There you go!" He said with a cheerful smile. "Thanks." Vilkas smiled back. "June can you-" He began to say but stopped once he saw that she wasn't there. Farkas's eyes widened and he quickly looked around the store. "She's not in here." Farkas said a bit panicked. "Crap!" Vilkas yelled dropping the bags he had and ran out the door.
He looked around but she was no where in sight. 'Dammit how did she slip away!?' Vilkas thought to himself as he quickly began to run down the streets looking for her. 'Did she go back to the Thieves Guild den!? I won't be able to find her if she did..' Panicked thoughts kept flowing through his mind. Vilkas felt his heart drop once he realized he may have lost her for good.
Vilkas quickly turned a corner and than slammed against someone causing him to stumble back but his muscular form kept him from falling down. "Watch it idiot!" He heard a familiar voice yell at him. He looked down seeing it was June and he saw a larg bag sitting next to her along with an elven bow and a pack full of different kinds of arrows. Vilkas couldn't help but smile a little seeing it was her but he forced it to away and a frown to appear. "Where did you go!" He tried to sound angry with her.
June started to pick up her things. "I went to my house to grab my some of my stuff, I don't really have much at Jorrvaskr you know." She said getting up with her arms full of things. Vilkas blinked a bit surprised at her response. "Here carry some of this will you." She said shoving the large bag into Vilkas's hands while she placed her bow and some of her arrows onto her back.
Vilkas watched her walk away, once she turned from him he let another small smile appear on his face. 'She...Didn't run away...' He thought to himself as he felt butterflies appear in his stomach. Though he was happy to see that she didn't run away he couldn't help but wonder why she didn't, she had the perfect chance to slip away but she came back instead. Vilkas snapped himself out of his thoughts and quickly ran to catch up to her. "There you are." Farkas said walking towards them.
Farkas was carrying all the bags and he was struggling a little. Vilkas quickly took one of the bigger ones and June also took one and than walked away again. "So can we leave Riften yet?" She asked them. "No, it's late, it would be best to wait till morning to return to Whiterun." Farkas said raising an eyebrow at her eager attitude to leave. June stopped and looked down at the ground, her stomach began to twist and turn. She than turned around slowly facing them. "Fine." She said quietly and than started to walk towards the Inn.
Vilkas and Farkas exchanged looks and than started to follow close behind her. "She's acting strange all of a sudden..." Farkas whispered to Vilkas. "Yea..." He replied as he kept his eyes on her. 'What's gotten into her..' He wondered as they entered into The Bee and Barb. Farkas set down the bag and walked to the Inn keeper, Vilkas and June both waited by the stairs. June kept her eyes to the ground as she bit her lower lip. 'I really hope non of them are in here...' She thought to herself feeling like she was going to be sick.
June hated the way she was feeling, she felt like someone had ripped her heart out of her chest and now she felt nothing, she just felt numb. 'I guess I shouldn't of expected anything from thieves, especially Brynjolf...' She thought to herself clenching her fist. Vilkas kept watching her as he noticed her small movements, he furrowed his eyebrows down at her seeing that something was wrong but he wasn't sure if he should ask.
They both looked up seeing Farkas walking back to them, Farkas picked the bag back up and they all headed upstairs. "June your room is the one on the right, we're staying in the one on the left." Farkas said. "Right." June said walking into her room and immediately setting the heavy bag down along with her bow and arrows. "Here." Vilkas said quickly following her and handing her bag to her.
June took it with out saying anything and set it onto the bed, Vilkas stood there for a moment watching her as he was trying to decide if he should ask. "You want something?" June asked him seeing he was still there. "N-no I just spaced out is all." Vilkas quickly answered leaving her room. June shrugged off his weird response and walked over to the door closing it, she got out a light purple dress out of her bag and quickly changed.
Vilkas walked into his and Farkas's room with his head slightly turned towards June's room. "I'm surprised she didn't run off." Farkas said as he was taking of his boots. "Yea..." Vilkas replied quietly. He slowly looked down at the ground as he let thoughts run through his head. "Did you find out where she went off to?" Farkas asked un buckling his armor. "She said she went to her home to grab some of her things." Vilkas said as he began to do the same thing. They both quickly changed out of their armor and into some clothing. "Come on lets go get some food." Farkas said. Vilkas nodded and than they both walked out of the room and down stairs.
A couple hours have passed and they were both still down stairs drinking some mead. "Haven't seen June come down yet." Farkas said slightly looking over at the stairs. Vilkas took a drink of his mead and looked down at the table. "You should go see her." Farkas said and jumped a bit when he saw Vilkas suddenly choke on his drink. "W-what?!" Vilkas coughed. "I mean go see if she's okay.." Farkas said with a small grin. "Right, I know what you mean!" Vilkas quickly said jumping up from his chair.
Vilkas walked up the stairs and to the door to June's door, he just stood there for a moment. 'Just asking her if she's okay...' He told himself. He slowly lifted his hand as he slightly hesitated but than he forced himself to knock on the door. "Come in." He heard her yell. Vilkas slowly opened the door and peaked inside, June was sitting on the edge of her bed with what looked like a journal sitting in her lap. "What is it Vilkas?" She asked him.
Vilkas examined her and was a bit surprised seeing that she was wearing a dress, he admired the way she looked in it. He quickly cleared his throat. "You should probably come eat something." He said. "I'm not hungry." June quickly replied looking away. Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows down. "You haven't eatin since lunch.." He pointed out. "I told you I'm not hungry, now if you don't mind I'd like some peace." June said a little annoyed.
Vilkas just stood there staring at her, examining her emotion. "Why are you still here?" She asked in a rude voice. "I have a question." He said walking into her room an closing the door behind him. June watched him, curious to why he closed the door. "What is it?" She asked him raising an eyebrow. Vilkas walked a few more steps towards her and than stopped crossing his arms. "Why did you come back?" He asked her. "What do you mean?" She asked looking away. "I mean, you could've easily ran back to your Thieves Guild and gotten away, so why didn't you?" He asked keeping his eyes on her.
June just sat there for a moment, the room was filled with silence as she tried thinking of an answer to tell him. She just shrugged keeping her eyes away from him. Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows down at her. "I want you to tell me the truth, I'm tired of you avoiding my questions." He said grabbing a chair, setting it down in front of her bed and sitting down in it. "Why should I?" She said sneering at him. "Because I'm not going anywhere till you do." He said leaning back in the chair crossing his arms.
June looked away sneering even more. 'How annoying...' She thought to herself. "What do you want to know, why do you even care?" She said keeping her eyes away from him. "I'll answer your question if you answer mine." He replied as he examined the look on her face. "You're annoying!" She shouted at him a little. "Now I'm starting to regret not running away!" She yelled again glaring at him. "If you really ment that than you would of." Vilkas said plainly.
June sighed loudly annoyed that he was even there. "Fine..." She mumbled looking at him annoyed. "What exactly would you like to know?" She asked crossing her arms. "First, why didn't you run off when you had the chance?" He asked plainly. "There was no point in it." She answered. "That's not good enough, I want your real reason." Vilkas said furrowing his eyebrows down. June winced a little as she was lost in what to say. 'I don't really want to tell him...' She thought to herself as she felt her stomach begin to ache from just the thought of it.
She slowly looked down. "It's just...People aren't what they seem to be?" June said that as if it was a question because she didn't quite understand herself. "Well what I mean is..." She cut herself off trying to explain but quickly sighed and looked away. "Ask something else dammit..." She whispered looking a little sad.
Vilkas raised an eyebrow at her sad expression and finally gave in. "Fine, why did you become a thief?" He asked her the main question that's been bugging him ever since he found out about her. "What else is a child to do when they have no parents." She surprisingly answered him truthfully. "What?" He asked her a little confused. "Nothing." She said looking back down. "You didn't have parents when you were a pup?" He asked her leaning forward. "Nope." She answered quickly.
Vilkas looked at her a little surprised. "What happened to them?" He hesitantly asked her. "My father left to fight in the Great War and never came back, mom died of...Something else.." She said keeping her eyes down. Vilkas's eyes widened at her answer. 'Her father was in the war as well?' He thought to himself completely surprised. "So that mark on your cheek than?" He asked looking at it. "Given to me by my father when I was younger." She answered. "How did your mother die?" He asked her.
June sneered a little as she grew annoyed of his personal questions. "You wanna know my life or something?" She asked glaring at him annoyed. "Aye." He replied keeping a straight face towards her. June blinked not sure how to react to that. "She died..in a fire." She answered his question slowly. "A fire?" Vilkas said quietly. "Yes that's what I said." June replied furrowing down her eyebrows. "Ask me something else that doesn't involve my past..." She said moving her eyes away from him again.
Vilkas sighed shaking his head slightly. "Just one more about it.." He said. "Fine." She replied. "You were always a thief?" He asked her remembering her telling him that she wasn't a thief when she saved him from a dragon. "N-no.." She stuttered. "It's complicated..." She said rubbing the back of her head.
Vilkas leaned back in his chair waiting for more. "I did a little stealing when I was a child to just eat when I could but.." She trailed off as her past began to flash into her mind. "Ask me something else dammit!" She said loudly. "Okay, wanna fool around?" He teased with a grin. June quickly looked up at him and than threw her pillow at him. "Shut up!" She said looking back away from him trying not to smile. "Well, it's your loss." He said putting the pillow on the ground. He got up from the chair and stretched. "You really should come and eat." He said looking at her.
June looked at him with a small smile. "I told you I'm fine, now go." She said pointing to the door. Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows down and than quickly grabbed her putting her over his shoulder. "Stop being so rude to me, I'll go when I damn well want to." He said with a smile as he walked towards the door. "Dammit Vilkas put me down!" She yelled kicking her legs and hitting his back, she was holding herself back from laughing. "Nope, I'm not going to take no fo ran answer, you need to eat." He said opening up the door. June couldn't hold back her laugh any longer, she finally just let it out. Hearing her laugh made him laugh. "I said put me down!" She said propping herself up and pushing him making him drop her.
June fell onto the floor a bit hard. "That was your own fault!" Vilkas said chuckling. "Shut-" She began to say but stopped when she heard familiar voices down stairs. She turned around peaking down stairs and saw it was Vex and Delvin, she quickly got up and ran back to her room. "Just...bring me some food, I'll eat up here." She said quickly shutting the door. Vilkas watched her confused. 'So much for the moment...' Vilkas thought to himself with a frown. He sighed and headed downstairs and grab her some food.
