Snippet #1918253

The ale moistened the Nord's lips as he listened to the comments being spoken by the others. Not being a man of many words, Kairos had decided to seek information about his new companions through their actions. Blue eyes scanned carefully as the young Bosmer quietly began to make her way outside of the dwelling. Having wondered why he was so bemused by beautiful elf, Kairos quickly turned his attention to Nirrarien, who had began to inquire about the posing threat of the Dark Brotherhood. “I have wonder how great the threat of the Dark Brotherhood is,” the man started, speaking more to himself rather than anyone around him. As the mage continued his conversation, Kairos noticed the Khajiit slip out the entrance as well. He payed it no mind and continued to converse with the mage that sat before him. “Do'Khaj tipped the smoking corpse of one would-be assassin onto the deck of our ship. Granted, it is concerning that an Argonian agent was able to infiltrate the ship, especially while it was docked in Alinor, but... And if you have slain as many as you say,” he nodded towards Kairos, “then their attempts thus far have been quite clumsy.” Kairos laced his fingers around the shiny handle of the tankard. "I find these agents are more of a minor nuisance than a fatal threat," the man agreed as he sipped the strong liquid, "but I'd rather have our party aware of all around us than take foolish chances."

The fire crackles loudly in the spacious room as Allena emerges from the the dark stairway, a bright smile dancing on her lips sporting new attire. The woman quickly inquires if she may bring her female companion to change her garb as well. When the two women return, Do'Khaj enters the home carrying on his back a large doe. It appeared to be shot directly in the heart, a quick and precise kill. It was an excellent skill indeed, Kairos noted. The tall man rose from his seat and beckoned for the large cat to follow him into the kitchen area. The Nord removed his gloves revealing his large hands as he cleared a space for the deer to be prepared. He stood aside as the Khajiit careful placed the deer on it's side. "I am sure that you do not want such a magnificent kill to become wasted, but Nirrarien has begun to look at Jeelus-Tei's journals and I believe you would much rather have a look at them yourself than have the information relayed back to you." The Nord spoke and turned his head towards the Argonian who had produced a set of worn books on the table. "I will prepare the doe for us to dine on. I have already looked through the journals myself and it is best we stay here for the night." Shadows cast by the evening sun spilled into a near-by window. "The sun has begun to set and the swamp is home to many creatures of the night."

Do'Khaj agreed and made his way back to the elderly Argonian. The Nord's hands began to unfasten the binds of his armour which he lay delicately on a wooden chest. Now free from the restricting metal, Kairos removed his ebony dagger and began to slice at the deer. He skillfully removed the skin and the arrow that had pierced the animals heart. Placing the arrow on the counter before him, the Nord could only admire precision of the kill. Perhaps the four were more capable than he had initially thought.
