June sat outside for a long time, the afternoon quickly shifting into the evening. She mumbled under breath as she thought about what Seradia said. 'I'd rather her think that than know the truth..' A frown appeared on her face. "You look like you could use a drink!" Torvar sat down next to her. "Definitely!" June replied quickly. "How bout you and me go to the Tavern and get a drink! I could use the company!" Torvar was already drunk. "Why the hell not!" June quickly got up and they made their way to the Inn.
Seradia was still sitting at the table and was now writing a letter. She was writting a letter to the college. Farkas finally got the courage to sit next to her after roaming around the room for a little while. "What are you..What are you doing?" Farkas cleared his throat. "I'm writing a letter." She answered. "Oh.." Farkas awkwardly looked away. 'To who?..' He wondered as another man came to his mind. He frowned at the thought of her being taken.
"Yea, it's to the College of Winterhold." She finished and put the letter in an envelope. "Oh!" Farkas quickly looked back at her. "What for?" He asked. "Well, I am the Arch-Mage. It's my duty to make sure they're okay." She sealed the letter and than looked at him with a smile. 'The Arch-Mage?..' He blinked as he watched her stand up. 'She must be really good at magic than..' He zoned out in his thoughts. Farkas quickly snapped himself out of it once he saw that she was heading towards the door. "Wait!" He quickly got up and walked up to her.
She turned around and looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "I'll uh...I'll go with you.." He gave her a small smile. She looked at him a little weird and confused but than just shrugged it off. "Alright." She returned his smile and than walked out the door with Farkas following close behind.
They walked to the Inn surprisingly keeping small talk, but it was still awkward. Farkas had a thousand things he wanted to say to her but he couldn't think of way to say them and he wasn't brave enough to same them. Give him a bear or a draugr any day but talking to women..Well that was scary to him. "Here we are." Seradia smiled as she walked up the steps to the Inn with Farkas still following her.
They found the Inn was alive and full of laughter, everyone in it seemed to be in a huge conversation. "Weird.." Farkas watched them all. Usually everyone who came here kept to themselves. "I wonder what's so funny.." Seradia walked past the crowd of people gathered around and saw that June and Torvar were in the middle. "And than! And than I said!" June was so drunk she couldn't finish her sentence it just ended with more laughter and the hole place joined in on it.
Seradia let out a sigh and shook her head. "Hey! It's..It's you!" Torvar stumbled over throwing his arm around Seradia. "I..I forgot your name so I'm just gonna call you the little one!" Torvar swung his mug of ale around. 'Little one!?' Seradia quickly pushed him off her making him fall to the ground. Once Torvar hit the ground he spilt his own mead on himself. "Ah dammit!" He tried to get up but he was too drunk. The only think he did was make everyone laugh at him except for Seradia and Farkas. They just stared at him.
"And this is why I don't drink.." Seradia mumbled as she stepped over him and to the counter. "Sorry for the commotion!" The Inn keeper yelled over the loud talking and laughs. "What can I do for you!" She smiled. "I need you to give this to the courier that comes here!" Seradia gave her the letter. "Can do!" The Inn keeper took the letter and put it behind her counter.
"Hey!Hey!" June stumbled over throwing her arms around Seradia. Seradia almost fell over from it but she caught them both. "You should join me!" June gave her a drunk smile. "No, I'd rather not." Seradia tried to push her off but she wouldn't budge. "Oh come on! You need to loosen up a bit! Maybe you and Farkas can both drink together and.." June grinned at her. Seradia quickly pushed her off making her fall to the ground next to Torvar. Farkas's cheeks grew warm and he quickly looked away. "I'm out of here. Have fun!" Seradia quickly turned around and left the Inn with Farkas.
She sighed in relief once she left the building, the fresh smell in the outside air was better than the smell in the Inn any day. Farkas stopped behind her and examined her from behind for a moment. 'This is a good time to give her this..' He quickly took out the flower from his pouch. It still looked good which was surprising because it had been in there all day.
"Uh hey.." Farkas grabbed her attention. She turned around looking at him. "I saw this and-" He began to show her the flower but a young man ran up behind her. "Excuse me!" He was out of breath. Seradia turned around looking at him. Farkas let out a sigh as he slowly put the flower back in his pouch.
"Yes?" Seradia raised an eyebrow up at him. "Are you Seradia?" He asked. "Yes I am." She smiled at him. "I have a letter for you, it's from the Bard's College in Solitude." He took out a letter from his bag and handed it to her. After that the young courier than walked past them and into the Inn to get the letters from there.
Seradia opened the letter and started to read it. Farkas walked up beside her and looked at the letter waiting. He saw a smile appear on her face. "What is it?" He asked. "It's a letter from Viarmo, the headmaster. It says that they are planning another festival and they want me to help them play!" She sounded excited. "A festival? What kind of Festival?" Farkas looked down at the letter over her shoulder. "A Festival to celebrate the queen's birthday. Do you think Kodlak will let June and I go!?" Seradia quickly turned towards Farkas with a big smile. "Well...Maybe.." Farkas rubbed the back of his neck smiling.
"I have to ask him!" She started to walk off but than stopped. "Wait..I need to make sure that June will actually go with me though..." She mumbled to herself. "Can't you go without her?" Farkas asked. "Well..I could..But..I would feel more comfortable if she went with me." She shrugged and smiled. "I don't think now is the best time to ask..." Farkas looked back at the Inn. They could hear the laughter from inside. "I guess I'll have to tomorrow..." She sighed. "We'll have to leave tomorrow though.." Seradia turned around and grabbed her chin walking away. She was now deep in thought about it. Farkas watched her walk away and than looked down at the ground thinking. 'Maybe I can go with her..' He wanted to ask but knew he wouldn't.
