Narasa watched Kota take a seat next to her. "Have the Divines been tough on you lately? You look a bit stressed."
She motioned to Hulda to bring her some mead. ”Oh, don't pay any attention to me. I'm just being a big baby because I didn't instantly pick up on a new spell. I'll get over it.” Her mead was brought to her, and she didn't waste any time in taking a big gulp. She turned to Kota and smiled. ”I take you've been bothering Adrianne? You'd better be careful or her husband will pound you into the ground until just your head pokes out,” she teased. ”Then I can charge people to see the amazing bodiless man.”
Beside her, Ograza took a seat. ”Sorry I'm late, got a little rough in Jorrvaskr, had to settle a bet with Farkas, things got drawn out." There was a pause, then she said, "You really got another spellbook didn't you Narasa? You and you're magic... things would be much simpler if you picked up an axe."
Narasa laughed at that. ”Sometimes I'm inclined to agree with you. But I'd probably break my delicate mage wrist the first time I swing it.” She took another huge gulp of her mead.
"So what is this important job you had for us Narasa? Hope it's another crazy mage, I've had an empty space for a staff in my trophy room for too long."
Narasa shrugged. ”I'm not sure. I ran into this guy named Dereod in the market stalls today who said he's heard of us, and wants to hire us to retrieve something from a tomb. He set he'd meet us here and give the details. But be warned.” She paused to finish off her mead. ”He's a tool. But a rich tool, based on the fancy clothing he was wearing.”
“The job might be difficult. After Hagmar left to live his life for Kynareth by living off of nature as naked as the day he was born...” she made a face to show what she thought about that. ”That leaves us one member short. We might have a hard time with just the three of us, so we need to be extra careful.”
