twilight's scimitar

dear father, look upon me with favour for i have sinned.

“the dread lord is going to receive a very strongly-worded note from one of his servants if the wine doesn’t stop disappearing right out from under my nose the moment i deign to blink.” a pointed sip from his cup, and then, “sane or insane, the good drink is the great equalizer. still waiting, though, for someone to succumb to the urge to do a drunken jig after a good kill. that’s a sight i’ve been hoping for. i would ask you to oblige, but… i have a feeling i’ll meet with only disappointment there.”

"at least allow me to proof-read it first before you release it into the void,” nazir joked. “speed is of the utmost importance, my friend.” he shot the other male a dry look as he gathered his bowl and utensils from the table to set them aside for cleaning, “an excellent assumption. i can assure you i’m no more entertaining drunk than i am sober; my apologies.”

“It’s not black magic, Nazir. It’s just magic; it has no desires of its own.” Veryn waved his hands and muttered a few words, and a long glowing scimitar formed in his hands, made of a bright blue ethereal energy. “My scimitar doesn’t need any sharpening,” he teased.

"you might try to educate me on the subject, but i’d doubt any won’t go over my head,” he admitted in a good-humoured tone. his eyes narrowed instinctively at the glowing, ghostly blade, almost as if suspicious of the energy itself, not the wielder. “but does it deal the same damage of real forged steel...” he questioned, unsheathing his own scimitar; the glow of veryn’s reflecting on the clean surface.

“you’re plenty appreciated; don’t sell yourself short. for example – everyone appreciates how you always faintly smell of stew. reminds us all of home. as for the elk… i could be convinced. i’ve wrestled worse – and only some of them were men.” she couldn’t help but chuckle at her own joke; there was no one who appreciated her horrible humor than herself.

"my, the highest honoured form of recognition indeed! it warms my heart that you would consider such a task.” he snorted at that, rubbing his bearded jaw as if to hasten the stifling of his own laughter. “i would appreciate the chance to witness your actions in a tavern full of drunken nords someday.”

“I don’t know whose bright idea it was to eat my food, but I when I find out they will be given a keen reminder that just because I don’t fancy wielding a sword doesn’t mean I can’t make them bleed.” 

"well, the tenets do state that it is to invoke the wrath of sithis to steal a dark brother or dark sister’s possessions, so you might just have free reign on punishing the offender -- if you find them.”

“Murder, sex and ale I reckon are in the top three positions on the list of life’s greatest pleasures.” He replied before letting out a laugh, and instead going for one of the loafs of bread on the table and starting to pull it apart, popping a small piece into his mouth. “It just a little too fishy for my taste, I’m more of a red meat type of guy.” 

"ah yes, shame on me for overlooking absolute debauchery. although sometimes two-and-two don’t mix -- especially when one takes pleasure in both murder and sex, if you get my drift.” the corner’s of nazir’s lips lifted as his spoon scraped across the bottom of his bowl purposefully. “fair enough. you’re a woodland hunter anyway, aren’t you?”

molly obliged, albeit reluctantly, and tested a spoonful of the stew. it turned out to be much better than she expected, better than any horker stew she had had elsewhere in skyrim, but she hated to give nazir a reason to gloat. “it’s alright,” she settled, attempting to eat more with a healthy amount of nonchalance, “where have you been hiding this recipe? seven years and i’ve never had it until today?”

nazir’s grin widened, noting that she hadn’t pushed the bowl away -- a good sign. "my dear, that is because the nords are not delicate cooks, and the bretons are not accustomed to game found in snowy lands. and well -- not to boast, but redguard cuisine is truly among the most superior.”

“Just another reason to appreciate being here. Not having to make my own food is worth plenty. I actually made a killing. Enough to get well and truly drunk by the time the job ended.”

"makes you feel a little like you’re still at home with your ma and da; doesn’t it. as long as the target was eliminated, that’s all that matters -- and you’ve a good story to tell of it, too.”

“I know that there isn’t much in that city beyond the College, but I would still be interested in seeing it personally. So a contract in that direction would be much appreciated if one comes in.” He turned and smiled in Nazir’s direction. “Enthralling a target makes it incredibly easy to complete a contract, when it works.”

"understandable for a mind constantly hungry for knowledge, though i’m certain you would enjoy the college most of all.” nazir snorted, gesturing idly as if waving off the idea. “i’ll leave that black magic business to you mystic types, i prefer the simplicity of a well-sharpened scimitar.”

murderousmadame:

“the brightest of all – should we get you a badge? either way, the severe lack of horker meat in this place is a travesty. would bear not cut it? or maybe goat? i know a guy – hell, i could wrangle you a goat if you really wanted it. and i don’t just go around wrestling goats for anyone, now.”

"absolutely. perhaps i’ll be better appreciated that way. serves us right for being so far down south; now the pale or winterhold -- those would be teeming with horker. i actually prefer elk. would you wrestle an elk for me, carlotta?”

Maven smirked and glanced up, eyes cool and oddly unnerving. “Aye, i suppose.” Maven folded the note in two “It will be interesting to return to Windhelm again. I hear it is still as gloomy as ever.”

“oh yes, and there’s talk of a killer on the loose. not ours, of course; work sounds too sloppy to be one of the brothers. you ought to show them how it’s really done.”

“Your priorities for food are really in check Nazir.” The blond mused. “I’ll pass on the stew, I’ve never been a fan of Horker myself.” He admitted,  but took a seat anyway.

"murder is one of life’s greatest pleasures, but that’s not to say we shouldn’t enjoy the simpler ones, too. can’t say i’m disappointed or that i’m going to talk you into it -- just leaves more for me.”

“You know as much as I love the dingy dungeon vibe we have going on here, I’m going a little stir crazy.” The blond mused twirling an arrow between his fingers absentmindedly. “I’m thinking of heading out and doing some actual target practice. The woods around Falkreath are full of wolves and bears, I’m sure after an hour or two out there, we’ll be eating like royalty for a couple nights. Care to join me?” He questioned.

"understandable. as cosy as nordic tombs are, i don’t intend on laying down and making it my final resting place just yet. i’m up for that. the pantry could use some restocking.”

       glowing  hues  glimmered  in  the  peripheral  of  the  candlelight,  gazing  nowhere  in  particular  but  radiating  an  expression  of  apathy.  things  had  been  awfully  quiet  as  the  brotherhood’s  requests  dwindled  in  numbers  .  .  .  the  war  that  raged  on  was  making  it  dangerous  for  the  raven-haired  girl  to  travel  within  the  woods,  and  an  overall  insatiable  boredom  was  accompanying  her  all  times  deeming  her  untrustworthy  in  silence.  the  sight  of  her  pout  was  truly  pitiful.  ❛  it’s  been  awfully  boring  around  here,  you  know.  i  think  i  just  might  DIE.  ❜  ironic.

"i think you should keep in mind that death means the void, and while i’m sure none of us have anything but respect and devotion for our dread lord -- i imagine the void would be just a tad more boring than staying alive in the sanctuary; scarce as it is with contract work.”

dbxander:

“Sadly I’m much better at the art of murder than food, but that’s all the more reason to jump at the chance of something good. Oh… tried that once. Ended up having to pretend to be a beggar. Made the job take four days longer than it needed to.”

“we have a few talented cooks here, probably all bretons. ah well, bonus points for creativity. i hope you got some extra septims for your acting troubles.”

“It’s not exactly my sort of meal, but I’ll happily sit and watch you eat it. I know not to come in-between a boy and his food.”

"very smart, adisla. is that a vampire’s wisdom of age, or just for the fact that you’ve come to know me too well?”

“I will never understand your affinity for this, Nazir,” Molly wrinkled her nose ever so slightly, but took a bowl of her own, “Horker meat is so tough.”

“ah, that’s because you haven’t tasted it cooked properly! there is nothing more juicy and tender as well-cooked horker meat. just try this and see if it doesn’t change your mind.”
