Vilkas returned with June in his arms late that night, he told everyone including Seradia that she fell and bumped her head and all she needed was a good nights rest.
Seradia sighed as she sat at the table writing in her book, it was now the next morning and June was still out. She didn't believe Vilkas's story because it didn't add up. First she was told she left with Aela on a job and than Vilkas returned with her in his arms. It confused her and she was definitely going to ask June about it once she woke up.
She put down her pin and looked at what she wrote, she read it back to herself and than frowned. 'No that doesn't make any sense...' She tore the page out and began to write it all over again.
"Hey girl." She jumped at the sudden deep voice. She looked up and saw it was Skjor. "Yes?" She raised her eyebrows up at him. "You busy?" He crossed his arms. "No not really." She quickly closed her book. "Good, would you like to make some extra coin?" He asked. "I have a job here and everyone else is too busy to do it." He explained. "A-alright." She got up from the chair. "Great, there's a man down in the Marketplace causing trouble and I need you to go make it clear to him to stop and not do it again." Skjor explained more. "Wait what?" Seradia furrowed her eyebrows down.
"You got dirt in your ears? I said you need to go teach that man a lesson." Skjor furrowed his eyebrows down as well. "You mean..beat him up or something? I can't do that!" Seradia slouched over. "Sure you can. You don't need to beat him just..do something.." Skjor said with a shrug and than walked away.
Seradia let out a sigh. 'I should of asked what it was before I agreed to it..' She put her book down and than walked to the door leaving Jorrvaskr. She walked around the building and made her way to the Marketplace. Once she got there it wasn't hard for her to find the man that Skjor was talking about. "So what do you say, you want to have a good time." It was an unknown man, he looked like an adventurer. He was bothering one of the Gray-Mane girls. "No, I would rather eat a raw skeever." She spat at him and walked away. The man just chuckled.
Seradia wrinkled her nose up in disgust as she watched him hit on more women. "Hmm.." She tapped her chin as she looked around and tried thinking of a way to get him. Her eyes moved to Carlotta's food and a smile came across her face. "Excuse me." Seradia grabbed Carlotta's attention. "I would like to buy all the tomatoes you have." She handed her a large coin purse. "Wow okay. Thank you." Carlotta smiled taking the coin purse.
"So you and me, we go and-" The man was cut off my a tomato hitting the middle of his back. He quickly turned around and saw it came from Seradia. She was leaning against the food stand tossing a tomato up and down in her hand. "Hey!" He yelled at her. "Oops sorry, I meant to get your head." Seradia smirked. The man glared at her deeply. "You-" He was cut off again by another tomato hitting him this time it hit him in the middle of the face making him fall back onto the ground.
The people around him started to laugh at him, Seradia joined them. He wiped the tomato from his face and looked up at her glaring. "You stupid bitch." The man stood up. Seradia glared at him, she grabbed another tomato and threw it at him but he took out his sword and sliced it in the air before it hit him. "I'll show you to make a fool of me bitch." He charged right for her.
Farkas was walking on the road that led up to Whiterun. He was returning from a job that he took yesterday. It was a bear clean up near Rorikstead and it payed well too, there were probably six bears. Farkas rubbed his sore shoulder, one of the bears knocked him down hard yesterday. He let out a sigh as Seradia popped up in his mind. She often did and he enjoyed thinking about her. But he would enjoy speaking to her more than thinking about her.
There was a problem with it though. Farkas was never really good at talking to people especially women he found himself attracted to. He had slept with many women but that was different, he didn't have to talk to make those kind of women like him. Seradia was different, she was smart, beautiful, and kind. He wound spend hours making up conversations in his mind between them but when it actually came to talk to her he found himself lost.
As he thought about it some more something colorful caught his eye. He stopped and looked down, it was a bright pink flower. It was the only one that was bloomed in a bush of dead flowers, Farkas couldn't help but smile as he examined it. It was a pretty flower, pretty like Seradia.
Farkas bent down and carefully picked the flower, he stood up straight and examined it more. 'I wonder if she'd like it.' He wondered with a smile on his face. He continued to walk towards the gate and entered Whiterun. He started to walk towards the Marketplace and furrowed his eyebrows down as he heard some commotion. He hurried towards it.
"Stop moving!" The man yelled as he swung his sword at Seradia again. She kept dodging his blade, she could fight back or stop him with one of her spells but there was too many people around and they might get hurt by it. "Do something!" Carlotta ran up to one of the guards. "She started it." The guard shrugged as he watched. 'Useless!' Seradia sneered at the guard as she jumped out of the way of the mans blade again.
Farkas's eyes widened, he placed the flower in his pouch and than drew his sword. Seradia lost her footing, she tripped over her own foot and fell down to the ground. "Ha!" The man charged for her swinging his sword up in the air. Seradia shielded face with her arms. Clash! Another bade appeared blocking the mans sword. Seradia slowly looked up and saw that it was Farkas, he stepped right in front of her and blocked his attack.
Farkas glared at the man and forced his blade up making the man loose grip on his own sword. Farkas quickly pointed his sword at the mans throat. "Guards, the companions claim this man to be a criminal." Farkas looked to one of the guards. The guard nodded and walked over to the man and bound his hands together. The man cursed under his breath as the guard took him away.
Seradia sighed in relief. Farkas put his sword back in its sheath and turned around facing her. "You okay?" He asked holding a hand out to her. "Yea I'm fine." She replied with a smile. She took his hand and he helped her up from the ground. "What was that guys problem?" Farkas asked. "Well..." Seradia rubbed the back of her neck as she gave him an awkward smile.
"Skjor asked me to take care of him because everyone else was busy and I'm not really the punching type. So I.." Seradia's eyes moved to the tomatoes. "Found a different way and it made him angry...It was my fault..I should've asked what the job was before I accepted it." She slouched over a bit and sighed. Farkas chuckled a bit. "Well good thing I showed up than." Farkas started to examine her face. "Yea, I can't believe the guards listened to you." She furrowed her eyebrows down. "They respect the Companions." He said with a shrug.
Seradia mumbled curse words under her breath and looked away for a moment. She looked back at Farkas and they stood there for a bit staring at each other and looking into each others eyes. She started to feel a little awkward from the silence that was between them. "Well..Thanks for coming when you did." She gave him a smile and than turned around walking away. "Yea.." Farkas watched her for a moment and than his eyes widened. He quickly pulled out the flower from his pouch. 'I forgot to give her this..' He frowned. 'Maybe some other time..' He sighed.
He was about to start walking back to Jorrvaskr but he stopped himself realizing he would just catch up to Seradia and it would only be more awkward. He felt his stomach flutter as he looked down at the ground. 'I'll just...take a walk..' He cleared his throat and turned around walking in the opposite direction.
Seradia returned to Jorrvaskr and walked into the building, she saw that June was finally up and was eating. Seradia quickly walked over and took a seat next to her. "About time." She said. June just looked away. "So..You going to tell me what happened?" Seradia leaned on the table on her elbow, she rested her face on the palm of her hand. "I fell and bumped my head..." June answered.
Seradia raised an eyebrow at her. "Really? Doing what?" She tapped the table with her index finger. "Falling down a hill." June answered casually as she took a drink of her mead. "I don't believe you." Seradia sat back in her chair crossing her arms. "Really? Alright, tell me what "think" I was doing." June took another drink of her mead. "Having some alone time with Vilkas." June choked on her drink and spilt it everywhere. "No way!" June coughed hard.
"You know he's taken, so why were you fooling around with him?" Seradia snickered. June quickly glared her. "We weren't doing anything but a job! Aela got tired so Vilkas took over that's it!" June stood up from the table and glared down at her. Seradia chuckled. "Why so defensive?" Seradia smirked and looked away. "Because you're an idiot." June quickly walked away from her and towards the doors.
Before she could open it Vilkas had already opened it from the other side and walked in. "Woah!" He quickly stopped almost running right into her. "Hey you're up." Vilkas gave June a small smile. "How are you feeling?" He asked. June looked at him and than tensed up hearing Seradia giggle from behind. "I'm fine! Get out of the way!" June quickly pushed him out the way and stormed through the door. Vilkas watched her confused. "The hell is her problem?" He mumbled. Seradia giggled some more.
"Is the job done?" She jumped from Skjor's deep voice suddenly appear from behind her. She quickly turned around looking at him. "Y-yea." She quickly answered. "Good work, here's your pay." He put a coin purse right next to her. "Maybe you should think about joining the Companions, you and June. You both could learn a lot and do some good." Skjor examined her for a moment. "As far as I know they already are." Aela said walking up next to Skjor. "I guess so. If you want more work come find one of the circle members." Skjor gave her a nod and than him and Aela walked away.
'Part of the Companions?' Seradia blinked and looked down at the table. 'I guess I wouldn't mind..' A small smile formed on her face. "Hello there." Athis took a seat right next to Seradia. "Oh hello..." She replied. "So you gonna join up?" He overheard the conversation. "I think you should." He examined her closely, his eyes slowly traced her body and he admired it. "Uhm.." Seradia saw the way he was looking at her and she didn't like it. It was the way Ancano used to look at her, his eyes were full of lust.
Vilkas was leaning his back against the wall next to the doors watching Athis. Farkas finally returned and walked inside, he looked over seeing Vilkas. Vilkas nodded his head forward and Farkas looked in the direction. He furrowed his eyebrows down seeing Athis flirting with Seradia. She looked uncomfortable. "I hear the Tavern is making fresh mead tonight, we should go and try it out." Athis kept examining her. "Sorry I don't drink." She gave him her usual sweet smile even though she felt awkward.
"Well we can-" He was cut off by Vilkas. "Come one elf, she isn't interested give it up." He was standing beside him with his arms crossed. Farkas was still watching in the distance, he knew he should of been the one to do it but he was afraid she would think he was trying to do something. Farkas let out a sigh. "Hey, it's rude to interrupt." Athis furrowed his eyebrows down at him. "And it's rude to bother a woman who is clearly not interested." Vilkas chuckled.
Athis sneered at him and than looked at Seradia. "We'll have to continue this conversation some other time." Athis gave her a smile and than got up and walked away. Seradia sighed in relief and than looked down at the table. "He didn't bother you too much did he?" Vilkas asked with a smile. "No..." Seradia answered queitly. "Well if he does bother you again, you just let me or my brother know." Vilkas pointed back at Farkas with his thumb.
Seradia looked up at him and than looked over at Farkas. Once her eyes met his he quickly stood up straight and than started to look around like he was lost and than quickly walked away towards the stairs. Seradia tilted her head as she watched him. 'He's so awkward..' She smiled a little as she watched him. Vilkas gave Seradia one last smile and than quickly followed after Farkas.
Farkas quickly walked down the stairs and into the hallway. He was about to walk to his room but Vilkas stopped him. "Wait!" Vilkas grabbed his shoulder stopping him. "What?" Farkas turned around and looked at him. "Why don't you try to talk to her?" Vilkas gave him a crooked smile. "Who?" Farkas quickly looked away. "Sera, who else." Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows down.
Farkas rubbed the back of his neck. "There's nothing to talk about.." He slightly looked down. "Come on brother I wasn't born yesterday." Vilkas crossed his arms. Farkas just stood there with an awkward look on his face. "I know you like her." Vilkas couldn't help but chuckle. Farkas let out a sigh. "Yea..I guess so.." He kind of admitted it. "So talk to her." Vilkas smiled. "I don't know what I'd say.." Farkas kept his eyes away.
"She doesn't seem to be that hard of a person to talk to." Vilkas said with a shrug. "You know I'm bad at talking to people though." Farkas looked back up at him. "Talk to her about one of her books." Vilkas suggested. "You know I don't read." Farkas furrowed his eyebrows down. "Than maybe you should start." Vilkas gave him a small punch to the shoulder and than turned around walking back up the stairs. 'Maybe...' He looked down at the flower that he was still holding.
