The Khajiit shrugged, rolling his eyes as he turned to leave, trying to appear as aloof as possible with a muttered âwhateverâ while also being intensely aware of the Thalmorâs scent, the sound of his heart, wanting to be sure he wasnât going to follow or stab him orâŠsomething while his back was turned before he left. He pushed the door open a little wider than usual, or necessary, letting in a blast of frigid Skyrim morning air, trying not to smirk but failing at the thought of the Thalmor whelpâs shrieking at the chill, if his mouth wasnât currently frozen shut.
Jâhasi pulled his scarf up over his mouth and nose, huffing out a breath in the cold before heading for the Arcaneum for his usual morning visit before class began. Part of him wanted to research what they had found, or at least the amulet, butâŠit seemed unwise for right now. The old fuck was far too interested.
A day or two, maybe. Some time for Ancanoâs interest to die down, and if he was spying on him, long enough to lure the bastardâs guard down. The Khajiit smirked a little under his scarf, glad he already had a routine of going to the library every day, several times a day. It made things a lot easier, and honestly it was childâs play compared to what he had to do in the past when dealing with the Thalmor. He just had to be patientâŠ
Ancanos eyes followed the khajiit like a hawk, until he was interrupted by the sound of his... subordinates.
<âLook, just hold still for five seconds Icarus.â>
âMmmprh mprhmrph mrrrph--â
<âAugh!! Aldaril you fucking glanânt! You almost knocked my teeth out!â>
<âWell maybe if you werenât squirming around like a godsdamned sprat that wouldnât be a fucking problem!â>
Ancano massaged his temples firmly, exhaling deeply through his nostrils as he fought the urges of wringing the neck of whoever sent him these two imbeciles.
The door slammed open, his justiciar scrambling out of the door, <âKiss my arse, Al, Iâm going to class!â> The mer spat, hustling to the exit before Ancano grabbed him by the hood, making Icarus audibly yelp.
<âKeep an eye on that Khajiit.â> Ancano pulled the justiciar inches away from his face.
<âYou heard me.â> Ancano scowled, tightening his grip onto the mers hood. <âHe may be hiding information on what you all found yesterday. Keep an eye. On that. Khajiit.â>
<â...Yes sir.â> Icarusâ eyes glanced to the side, pursing his lips in a long exhale before responding begrudgingly.
<âGood. Then weâre done here.â> Ancano released his subordinate, <âYou two are in the same class, are you not? Get moving.â>Â
<âYes sir.â> Icarus grumbled, massaging his reddened cheek as he moved briskly through the doors and into the thrice-damned cold of Eastmarch.Â
Damn that cat. Had to make things difficult for him at any given time.
