[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hey guys! I'm Haven, the mun of this blog and many others. I've had a lot of fun these past few days with her so I made a blog!

Nurcie is a sweet heart, warm and helpful but naïve. She's a follower of Dibella but doesn't believe in worship.

On the flip side Nurcie is also very vengeful if tricked and enjoys killing. She loves perticurly I using soul trap on her enemies to fule her enchanted Axes. This woman is ruthless but is just here for a good time and lots of money.

Just in everyone! Nurcie has Elhos-dandros-syndrom! aka, eds. Dispite being a stealthy lady she waters heavy armour as a full body brace. It's help too that she can heal her joints when she has to put them back in soccet.

As a dragon born she hoards gems, momentos and books. She has a problem of Carring a potion for everything as well....

Amyway, as a mun I perfer to rp with people 18+, If I find out you're a minor I will tone down Nurcie and avoid certain topics.

I do want asks! feel free to send asks in, I will respond as I can, if course if an ask makes me uncomfortable I will ingore it.

Is far we have Two Nurice aus,

Nurcie, the daughter of cold harbor, loyal to Molag Bal

and

Og Nurcie! Our very much living sweetheart who just wants friends.

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pouted. "Cicero and I are best friends. It pleases mother that her listener and keeper are so close." She explained.

"I suggest you bring Cicero with when you adventure. Hes another whirlwind of blades." she suggested.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie holds in a screech and shakes quietly from her small hole in the wall where shes folded up like a bag of flesh. She Holds the mask close, her lips pursed to hold back sound as she watches Miraaks face.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Whoever or whatever wretched creature stole that is going to be given the charitable and quick opportunity to return it before I set this entire building ablaze.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie snorted and held her hand out with the mask. "Your face!" She laughed, years streaming down her face.

Nurcies position was... uncomfortabe looking to say the least, Cramed into a small nook and bend in odd angles.

"Gods that was so Funny." She laughed still.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“What the…..how are you…? Nevermind, I don’t even want to know, I hope your amusement has been fulfilled,” he grumbles snatching it back from her hand.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and wiggled out of the crack. "It has! Thank you. What are you doing in white run?" She asked him easily, In her theifs guild armour.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“I’m visiting with Kayla, she has friends and such here and the jarl tends to call to her for annoying tasks and missions. She used to live here for a while but that was much before we ever met.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded along and streched, her joints popping like breaking bones. "That makes sense. If you get sent on a misson can I come with? I'm a frount liner or an Archer. I can also provide some magic support. " She offered him.

"You can consider it pay back for Taking your mask from you." She told him with a grin.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That wouldn’t be up to me, that would up to her. I don’t do missions for the jarl,” he replies wincing at the sound of her popping joints.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed and relaxed. "True, are you waiting here for her? Maybe we could stop by the general goods store and look around?" She offered next.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Oh no, she’s here. She was bargaining with Hulda for a different room. The store is…..fine, though I don’t trust that shop keeper….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She blinked up at him and tilted hee head. "You mean how he says if he had a sister that he would sell her? isn't that a joke? maybe poor taste but it has to be a joke." she told him easily.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Yes, even joking it’s odd-he’s just generally unsettling. I’m surprised Kayla hasn’t killed him yet….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Well, do you want to?" She asked him casully.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Hmm sometimes, but it’s better not to at least for now,” he casually replies surveying the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She sighes. "You're hard to do favours for, you know that?" She asked him dejectedly.

"How about the stalls? Theres pretty things Kayla might like." She offered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Why are you trying to do favors for me in the first place? If you want to shop, Kayla would more than happily join you for that I’m sure and I’ll begrudgingly join.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pointed at his mask. "I took that, Even if I gave it back I want to pay you back since I pranked you." She explained.

"I'm trying to make it up to you." She told him clearly.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak sighs and shakes his head.

“Not every interaction needs to be transactional, I would ask you just don’t do it again. Deal?” he offers scouting around the tavern and seeing Kayla walking with Hilda who gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up-she must’ve gotten the better room.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pouts."Deal, I'll steal other things then. less important ones." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or perhaps just don’t steal anything of mine….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "The other option is placing weird items in strange places or putting funny items in your bag." She told him.

"I need to exercise my itchy fingers with out getting in trouble." She whined, twitching her fingers at him, making more clicking noises.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or you know, just avoid touching me or my belongings in the first place.”

“Why not do that to Belethor? If doesn’t go to plan I’m sure Kayla would help you kill him.” 👍

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Beth-Beth will call the guards. You're cool." She whined.

"Maybe I should try to prank Kayla if you dislike it si much...." She wondered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Besides did I not just say if it went wrong she’d assist in any unfavorable outcomes??”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Yeah, you did but that's stress and if I get too stressed my body starts failing." She told him sadly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Before Miraak can reply, Kayla finally strolls over and greets both of them.

“Hey! How are you doing-you look a little sad?” She greets Nurcie tilting her head.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pouts at Kayla. "Miraak won't let me mess with his stuff. I'm sad because even if I don't wish to upset him too much his reactions are very funny."

"I heard you came to do something for the Jarl. Could I come too?" She asked her politely.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ah I see. Well he is possessive of his stuff,” she laughs. “I think many dovahkiin are.”

“As for the jarl, you interested in clearing out a bandit camp then?”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded eagerly and picked up her axe. "Absolutely, I have space for more souls." She announced cheerfully.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ooh! You like enchanting then? Well let’s make sure you get the gems filled up!” Kayla eagerly replies motioning to head out the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded eagerly and followed. "I am! I'm master of the craft. All my things are enchanted bsck home." She told her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Nice!! Well let’s get you some new supplies then,” she smiles with a light laugh as she strolls her way down the streets of Whiterun out towards the city’s gates.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie kept up, her feet fast. "So, I'm usually a frount liner but I can do archery and support magics if that meshes better with you and Miraak." She offered.

"I get souls with my axes but we can save those for the bandit cheif if you want to play it safe."

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Do whatever works for you! I’m mainly melee, I usually just charge in and start slashing shit!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded sagely. "Ah, a true warrior. If Miraak wants to play support I'd be happy to charge in with you." She told her.

"I like clearing new places with more caution, I can use the aura Shout to find people and determined how many are in a room before we enter." She explained.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sure if you want to strategize in that way. Sometimes I forget that’s a shout available to us….”

“I usually just dive in, no big plan, no strats, just pure instinct- it mainly works.” :)

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She turned back a gave Miraak a look of 'You deal with this?' before turning back to speak.

"Plans don't have to be big but divide and courqer is a good one. Learning how to place differnt fighters in a position where they most shine is useful in limiting injures, reasouce waste and even casulties." She explained.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Trust me, this has been an ongoing habit of hers….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"I see, I've always been careful with my fights. I try to do as much damge as possible before a direct confertation." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That’s similar to Kayla- subtracting the careful part. She will charge in battle head first and begin a ravenous spree with no prior plan, which can have less than desired outcomes but mainly somehow it works to her favor. She’s swift, she’s brutal, and entirely unpredictable. That’s how she managed to knock me down in Apocrypha, I couldn’t predict or decipher her moves or patterns. She’s entropic.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcies eyes sparkles, hands coming uo to cip her cheeks. "That sounds beautiful! Oh I need to see it!" She gushed.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak let’s out a brief soft laugh. “I agree. Well seems like the camp isn’t far from here.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and pulled out her bow, Zephyr, ebony arrows in her quiver. "Perfect, Kayla, If you want we can all use the aura shout and check out the defenses so we can split the load." She offered.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Whatever works for best for you guys!” She exclaims unsheathing her blades as they draw closer to the bandit camp.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice nodded and her already light foot steps seemed to disapper. She fell back behind Miraak and popped a potion for her light armour. "Let's send them to the void." She told them softly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla pauses before she takes another step and instantly whips her head to look at Nurcie.

“You too then?” she says with a surprised but cheerful expression. “Let’s send them to the void,” she repeats with a nod before charging in.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie perks up and beams before using aura whipser. She crouches and starts snipping the other archers as she moves stealthily.

With Kayla being the man distraction hardly any bandit looks for her, focsued on her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla continues clearing the way of enemies. Slashing, stabbing, slicing wherever and whenever. Her movements and attacks are quick, sharp, and unrelenting. Just as described earlier, her attacks don’t quite correspond to a distinct pattern and a few attackers even manage to get a hit or two on her, but nonetheless the sheer brute force, speed, and ferocity of her strikes overwhelm any opposition.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie rounded off the archers and started picking off those close to Kayla, taking one out as kayla turned to deal with with an incoming strike.

It was hard to tell where Nurcie was, not even her bow gleamed in day light.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Good shot,” Miraak compliments before jogging in closer and helping to pick off the rest of the them.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stayed quite, helping pick off the last of the bandits before coming over with healing magic glowing in her hand. "Let me," She started focusing on heal other.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Thank you,” Miraak says giving her space to help heal any cuts or bruises Kayla acquired in her quick rampage.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie shot Kayla with her magic, once, then twice for good measure. "There, Know where ready for more hunting." She told her warmly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Thank you! I don’t imagine there’s many inside so this should be pretty quick!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and smiled at her. "A shame, shall I join you in being a whirl wind of fury?" She asked, putting her bow away.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sounds like fun to me!! Let’s get this done!” She smiles walking alongside her.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pulled out her axes and walked with her. "So, You too. Cicero?" She asked vaguely.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Hm? Oh! Yeah that, yes I’m in the ‘guild’,” she answers readying her sword again. “Been in it for a while now, it’s how I’ve been able to afford quite a few luxurious over my time spent in Skyrim.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Oh yes, our clients are heavy spenders. I have lots of houses I don't know what to do with." she mused

"Are you friends with the Keeper?" She asked more directly.

[father-of-vampires]

Once Nurcie finished soothing her new orb friend she went skipping further towards the center of vold harbour. "Lord Baal~ Lover~." She called, her armour stripoed to leave her in sexy yellow clothes that showed off her figure and bust.

@nurcie-selaethyl

Molag Bal chuckled, appearing before her.

You did well, Nurcie. Your reward awaits.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie giggled and offered her hand to Baal with a big smile. "Thank you dear, I think this was an important aqusition for us." She told him.

[father-of-vampires]

It is, indeed. The Eye of Magnus will be a powerful tool to aid in my plans.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Her ears wiggled as she came closer, running her hand up his arm. "Perfect~." She purred.

"What do you have planmed for me first?" She asked him in A slutry voice.

[father-of-vampires]

Well, since you have proven yourself to be resourceful, I do believe that you should be... properly rewarded.

Molag Bal runs a hand down her cheek, not being particularly mindful about his claws. Then, he leans forward to place a slow, lingering kiss on her lips.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie moans, leaning into the kiss and his claws as they draw blood. She reaches up to wrap her arms around his neck, letting him set the pace as her ears wiggle.

[father-of-vampires]

Bal lifts her up into his arms, and suddenly they are teleported to a dark bedroom. He licks the blood off her cheek and trails slow, sensual kisses down her throat.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie sighs and cranes her neck to give him more space, Submissive and sweet as she clung on to him, legs around his waist.

Her hands trailed down his back, groping at his muscles and massaging them sweetly.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hello Nurcie! I just wanted to check on how your practice with paralyse spell is going and if you need any more assistance?

@dragonborn-archmage

Nurcie looked up at her, She had put on her full ebony Armour save the helmet and had her axes hang ready at her hips. "Oh! Archmage. I'm alright for now. I'm actually having a Flare up so I'm not up for much practice. No use if I can't focus." She told her regretfully.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear if that. Can I help you in anyway?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "We can hang out if you want, I can make you dinner after since my medication will have kicked in." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I have some spare time right now. We can spend some time together.

Besides your flare up, how are you? What have you been up to lately?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Stressed, which is why I'm feelling achy and my body is faling me. Lately I've been looking into more history, I wanted to learn more about the Thalmor so Arcano doesnt call me stupid if I have questions." She explained with a wave.

"He has a crush on some man so I'm trying to get him better at flirting. If I can pinpoint what common hang ups there are I might be able to give him a chance at not being miserable here. Did you know that he thinks being sent here is a punishment?" She asked her voicing her concerns.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

I did see him and Arnand, a guest to the college, speak to each other. Ancano was very flustered. It was entertaining.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She perked up and moved to put a spread on some bread. "Oh yeah? Well, Arcano flusters easily if you're nice to him. Its rather cute." She told her easily.

"What do you think of the other arch magic. The illusionist." She asked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

"Valryn is nice, We haven't spoke much but I aim to impresser her with progress." She explained.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wish you were here about a month ago, I could have used some flirt training for Eivine... I did get some advice from Tsun, not to discredit him. He has just a very blunt approach.

She tried looking over Nurcie's shoulder and see how it is going for her. Noticing the twitch made her worried.

I can help if you want.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie looked back and pulled the bread from her mouth, it a blush gel with white chunks. "I can do it! I promise, I'm just taking more pain killer and it has some side effects." She explained with a smile, easy going.

The food looked fine, ingredients and spices ready next to her.

"What went down with Elivin? Maybe I can still help. even if you're together flirting can keep the spark alive as your partner knows you still desire them." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

We haven't been together that long yet but I'll ask you if I need any help. As of right now the spark is very much alive.

Oh by the way, I don't know if you have encountered her yet but Eivine is here in the college as well. I think I told you she is one of the Archmages here.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "I haven't actually. Is she pretty?" She asked teasingly, flahsing a smile back at her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

More than just pretty, she's beautiful. But I might be slightly biased as well.

Anyway, about Ancano. What do you mean by flirt training needs "hands on" approach? I assume you talked to him and gave him examples. Was there more than that?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Hands on as in, practice? light touches, warm words and eye contact. Some things such as reading body language is a skill you need to exercise or you'll lose it." She offered as an example.

"Ah, I giess Roleplay is the best way to put it. I flirt with him, explain how it works, then he does it back and I tell him how fo improve." She listed as he finished the chicken and added a powdery seasoing to it from a bkue bottle.

[dragonborn-archmage]

That is very kind of you. I have noticed he seems to be interested in Arnand. I was around the area where they were talking and Ancano seemed a bit flustered. But besides that I think your training really helped him. He wasn't as socially inadequate as I pictured.

Morgan relaxed against the chair and smiled as the aromatic food filled the room.

It smells really good by the way. I didn't realise how hungry I was until now.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Good, My training has been fruitful then. I hope you enjoy my cooking. I like spices and spicy foods but I haven't made anything hot yet if you're not into that." She told her.

"Arcano has a good face going for him. With a little social polishing people will hate him plenty less." She joked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Well, Ancano has some other issues than being socially awkward. He's a Thalmor and a dickhead... sorry, but he is.

I don't mind any spices actually. My spice tolerance might be a bit lower, it's hard to find or eat food with any sort of spices in Skyrim. I miss when my food tasted more than just frost miriam or garlic.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Its ok. You won't hurt my feelings." She told her as she seasoned the chicken and choweder with more spices and poisons.

"Garlic is good but it gets old if its all there is." She agreed.

"Have you tried putting Frost Miriam in water? its not tea but the water is more refreshing." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Yes, but you seem to like him well enough. You taught him how to flirt.

I haven't tried that actually. I have a lot of dried frost miriam at home. I assume fresh or dried can work. It sounds like it would be good to drink during a hot summer. Which we don't really have here.

Morgan chuckles.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Fresh is best the oil is the flavorful part to leaks into the water." She explained, thinking for a moment.

"Arch mage, Do you think I am attracted to Arcano?" She asked her bluntly, not facing her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I- well, I can't really answer that can I?

She awkwardly chuckles as she shifts in her seat.

I think you might be? Maybe. I don't know. You speak highly of him despite his very obvious flaws. And you said he's attractive... maybe? Truthfully, Nurcie, only you can answer that.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "I am a free lady however I will admit I find the idea of sleeping with him to be degrading." She told her bluntly before turning to serve Morgan the food she prepared in a nice bowl and plate.

"I hope you like chicken, its the spicist." She told her sweetly and with a smile.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Thank you so much, Nurcie. This looks and smells lovely.

Morgan eats the food Nurcie served her. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high so she had to drink more than she anticipated. Regardless of the spice and the sniffles it gave her, she smiled at Nurcie.

It's very good. Thank you.

She continued eating, obviously not noticing the poison in the food or the effects of it.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie smiled at her. "I'm glad you like it. I'd be happy to keep cooking for you. I Honesty think The dunmer fire resistance makes us better able to totolerate spicy food, Though I haven't tested it." She mused, watching her eat as she had finshed her toast a long time ago.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I need to build it up again. Eivine is part dunmer and I haven't tried any of her cooking yet but I imagine it will be as spicy as this.

Morgan chuckled and continued to eat. Her plate was almost finished. Still not noticing the poison. She paused eating again to speak.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan wanted to thrash, kick, and spit on Nurcie. It was only when she mentioned she can't use any magicka she felt how fuzzy her head was. It was like a thick fog in her head.

Shivers were sent down her spine the way Nurcie talked. She imagined the sweet girl persona was all an act but she kept it up even now. It was amusing to her she thought Morgan had enchanted her clothes when that hasn't been needed for years. At least for her.

It did give her a pit in her stomach that she wouldn't be found. As well as Magni. She can think of a way out.

Removing Morgan's clothes Nurcie would see her body was filled with strange tattoos. Wrapping around her arms and legs with some symbols here and there. Though the tattoos were destroyed by a burn scars on her right forearm and the right side of her abdomen to her hip.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stripped her and set her clothes and jewelary aside before putting Morgan back on the bag so she wasnt on the snow. "There, I didn't expect you to have tattoos but these looked ruined." She said with relief before backing away and locking her in the cage. "There, I'll be back soon to warm you up. I've been keeping this place clear so there shouldn't be any trouble, ok?" She told her sweetly.

"I'm excited for all this to be over so we can all be friends forever." She told her warmly before racing off so Morgan wouldnt freeze to death.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan glanced at singular lockpick and cursed to herself. She doesn't know how to use it, she has alteration magic and fire at her disposal. Or at least she did minutes ago. She tried something basic like a flames spell but nothing left her hands. She curled up and hugged herself to keep herself warm.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie came back carrying another bundle in her arms. "I brought warmth!" She cheered before opening the cage and starting to set up and nice and warm sleeping roll.

"I hope you arent too cold. I don't really feel it anymore but It used to such. Can you move yet? I Brought some warm robes for you. I think they'll be cute on you." She commented as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan managed to move her fingers then tried to move her arms. They're moving to her relief. She can't escape yet though. She's still bound. She can't use her thu'um or magic. For now it was better to play along with her.

She nodded and smiled as best she could at Nurcie, reaching her hands out to the new robes.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie grinned and Untied her hands to help her into the new purple robes. "I know, its cold. I can start a fire if its too much." She offered kindly before joking.

"I doubt you would take up being a vampire this quickly just for the cold Resistance."

it seemed Nurcue did actually care about Morgan even if she had taken her hostage....

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan shook her head as she adjusted the robes on her. She considered removing the cloth from her mouth but she wouldn't be able to resist using her thu'um then. She needed to express her needs somehow.

She spelled out "fire" using sign language.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and took her hands again to bind them once more. "Ok, I'll make one for you in a minute. I don't have any wood on me so that will be another trip." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

She grumbled as her hands were tied again and began already tugging at them. She didn't want to but she couldn't help but give Nurcie a death glare. It was hard acting nice when she had just been kidnapped.

Nurcie leaving again could at least give her an opportunity to explore... somehow. She could scoot around the cage but it didn't offer much space.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie took some leather and set it by her before she untied her legs. "I know, I know. I could get you some books?" She offered as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan gestured to her bound hands with her head as Nurcie suggested it.

She could escape now. The cage door is open. She can walk again. She kicked her captor and tried to get out of the cage.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice turned and tackled her to the ground with 300 lb of force. She grabbed her by the hair and sat on her so she could chug a potion of magicka.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan tried to get up and remove Nurcie's hand off her hair. With her mouth still stuffed with the shirt it made hard to make out what she was saying but it was along the lines of "bitch" and "asshole".

She tired herself out eventually and stopped fighting against Nurcie.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nircie took threw the bottle to the side and shot her with paralysis before getting off her and dragging her back by the hair. She sat her down on the warm bed and went to the wall. She pulled off a leg shackle and wrapped her left leg in leather before latching it to her.

She huffed. "There, theres a bucket in the corner you should be able to get to. You already ate a full meal and you have a bed." She relaxed.

"I'll go cut some fire wood and make a fire for you, hang tight while that spell wears off." She hummed and moved to cover her with some large pelts.

"Perfect, stay warm Archmage." She told her before leaving the cage and locking it again.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie holds in a screech and shakes quietly from her small hole in the wall where shes folded up like a bag of flesh. She Holds the mask close, her lips pursed to hold back sound as she watches Miraaks face.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Whoever or whatever wretched creature stole that is going to be given the charitable and quick opportunity to return it before I set this entire building ablaze.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie snorted and held her hand out with the mask. "Your face!" She laughed, years streaming down her face.

Nurcies position was... uncomfortabe looking to say the least, Cramed into a small nook and bend in odd angles.

"Gods that was so Funny." She laughed still.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“What the…..how are you…? Nevermind, I don’t even want to know, I hope your amusement has been fulfilled,” he grumbles snatching it back from her hand.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and wiggled out of the crack. "It has! Thank you. What are you doing in white run?" She asked him easily, In her theifs guild armour.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“I’m visiting with Kayla, she has friends and such here and the jarl tends to call to her for annoying tasks and missions. She used to live here for a while but that was much before we ever met.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded along and streched, her joints popping like breaking bones. "That makes sense. If you get sent on a misson can I come with? I'm a frount liner or an Archer. I can also provide some magic support. " She offered him.

"You can consider it pay back for Taking your mask from you." She told him with a grin.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That wouldn’t be up to me, that would up to her. I don’t do missions for the jarl,” he replies wincing at the sound of her popping joints.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed and relaxed. "True, are you waiting here for her? Maybe we could stop by the general goods store and look around?" She offered next.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Oh no, she’s here. She was bargaining with Hulda for a different room. The store is…..fine, though I don’t trust that shop keeper….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She blinked up at him and tilted hee head. "You mean how he says if he had a sister that he would sell her? isn't that a joke? maybe poor taste but it has to be a joke." she told him easily.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Yes, even joking it’s odd-he’s just generally unsettling. I’m surprised Kayla hasn’t killed him yet….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Well, do you want to?" She asked him casully.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Hmm sometimes, but it’s better not to at least for now,” he casually replies surveying the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She sighes. "You're hard to do favours for, you know that?" She asked him dejectedly.

"How about the stalls? Theres pretty things Kayla might like." She offered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Why are you trying to do favors for me in the first place? If you want to shop, Kayla would more than happily join you for that I’m sure and I’ll begrudgingly join.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pointed at his mask. "I took that, Even if I gave it back I want to pay you back since I pranked you." She explained.

"I'm trying to make it up to you." She told him clearly.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak sighs and shakes his head.

“Not every interaction needs to be transactional, I would ask you just don’t do it again. Deal?” he offers scouting around the tavern and seeing Kayla walking with Hilda who gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up-she must’ve gotten the better room.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pouts."Deal, I'll steal other things then. less important ones." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or perhaps just don’t steal anything of mine….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "The other option is placing weird items in strange places or putting funny items in your bag." She told him.

"I need to exercise my itchy fingers with out getting in trouble." She whined, twitching her fingers at him, making more clicking noises.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or you know, just avoid touching me or my belongings in the first place.”

“Why not do that to Belethor? If doesn’t go to plan I’m sure Kayla would help you kill him.” 👍

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Beth-Beth will call the guards. You're cool." She whined.

"Maybe I should try to prank Kayla if you dislike it si much...." She wondered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Besides did I not just say if it went wrong she’d assist in any unfavorable outcomes??”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Yeah, you did but that's stress and if I get too stressed my body starts failing." She told him sadly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Before Miraak can reply, Kayla finally strolls over and greets both of them.

“Hey! How are you doing-you look a little sad?” She greets Nurcie tilting her head.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pouts at Kayla. "Miraak won't let me mess with his stuff. I'm sad because even if I don't wish to upset him too much his reactions are very funny."

"I heard you came to do something for the Jarl. Could I come too?" She asked her politely.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ah I see. Well he is possessive of his stuff,” she laughs. “I think many dovahkiin are.”

“As for the jarl, you interested in clearing out a bandit camp then?”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded eagerly and picked up her axe. "Absolutely, I have space for more souls." She announced cheerfully.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ooh! You like enchanting then? Well let’s make sure you get the gems filled up!” Kayla eagerly replies motioning to head out the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded eagerly and followed. "I am! I'm master of the craft. All my things are enchanted bsck home." She told her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Nice!! Well let’s get you some new supplies then,” she smiles with a light laugh as she strolls her way down the streets of Whiterun out towards the city’s gates.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie kept up, her feet fast. "So, I'm usually a frount liner but I can do archery and support magics if that meshes better with you and Miraak." She offered.

"I get souls with my axes but we can save those for the bandit cheif if you want to play it safe."

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Do whatever works for you! I’m mainly melee, I usually just charge in and start slashing shit!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded sagely. "Ah, a true warrior. If Miraak wants to play support I'd be happy to charge in with you." She told her.

"I like clearing new places with more caution, I can use the aura Shout to find people and determined how many are in a room before we enter." She explained.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sure if you want to strategize in that way. Sometimes I forget that’s a shout available to us….”

“I usually just dive in, no big plan, no strats, just pure instinct- it mainly works.” :)

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She turned back a gave Miraak a look of 'You deal with this?' before turning back to speak.

"Plans don't have to be big but divide and courqer is a good one. Learning how to place differnt fighters in a position where they most shine is useful in limiting injures, reasouce waste and even casulties." She explained.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Trust me, this has been an ongoing habit of hers….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"I see, I've always been careful with my fights. I try to do as much damge as possible before a direct confertation." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That’s similar to Kayla- subtracting the careful part. She will charge in battle head first and begin a ravenous spree with no prior plan, which can have less than desired outcomes but mainly somehow it works to her favor. She’s swift, she’s brutal, and entirely unpredictable. That’s how she managed to knock me down in Apocrypha, I couldn’t predict or decipher her moves or patterns. She’s entropic.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcies eyes sparkles, hands coming uo to cip her cheeks. "That sounds beautiful! Oh I need to see it!" She gushed.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak let’s out a brief soft laugh. “I agree. Well seems like the camp isn’t far from here.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and pulled out her bow, Zephyr, ebony arrows in her quiver. "Perfect, Kayla, If you want we can all use the aura shout and check out the defenses so we can split the load." She offered.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Whatever works for best for you guys!” She exclaims unsheathing her blades as they draw closer to the bandit camp.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice nodded and her already light foot steps seemed to disapper. She fell back behind Miraak and popped a potion for her light armour. "Let's send them to the void." She told them softly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla pauses before she takes another step and instantly whips her head to look at Nurcie.

“You too then?” she says with a surprised but cheerful expression. “Let’s send them to the void,” she repeats with a nod before charging in.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie perks up and beams before using aura whipser. She crouches and starts snipping the other archers as she moves stealthily.

With Kayla being the man distraction hardly any bandit looks for her, focsued on her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla continues clearing the way of enemies. Slashing, stabbing, slicing wherever and whenever. Her movements and attacks are quick, sharp, and unrelenting. Just as described earlier, her attacks don’t quite correspond to a distinct pattern and a few attackers even manage to get a hit or two on her, but nonetheless the sheer brute force, speed, and ferocity of her strikes overwhelm any opposition.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie rounded off the archers and started picking off those close to Kayla, taking one out as kayla turned to deal with with an incoming strike.

It was hard to tell where Nurcie was, not even her bow gleamed in day light.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Good shot,” Miraak compliments before jogging in closer and helping to pick off the rest of the them.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stayed quite, helping pick off the last of the bandits before coming over with healing magic glowing in her hand. "Let me," She started focusing on heal other.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Thank you,” Miraak says giving her space to help heal any cuts or bruises Kayla acquired in her quick rampage.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie shot Kayla with her magic, once, then twice for good measure. "There, Know where ready for more hunting." She told her warmly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Thank you! I don’t imagine there’s many inside so this should be pretty quick!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and smiled at her. "A shame, shall I join you in being a whirl wind of fury?" She asked, putting her bow away.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sounds like fun to me!! Let’s get this done!” She smiles walking alongside her.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pulled out her axes and walked with her. "So, You too. Cicero?" She asked vaguely.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Oh no, she’s here. She was bargaining with Hulda for a different room. The store is…..fine, though I don’t trust that shop keeper….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She blinked up at him and tilted hee head. "You mean how he says if he had a sister that he would sell her? isn't that a joke? maybe poor taste but it has to be a joke." she told him easily.

"I'm trying to make it up to you." She told him clearly.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak sighs and shakes his head.

“Not every interaction needs to be transactional, I would ask you just don’t do it again. Deal?” he offers scouting around the tavern and seeing Kayla walking with Hilda who gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up-she must’ve gotten the better room.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and smiled at her. "A shame, shall I join you in being a whirl wind of fury?" She asked, putting her bow away.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hello Nurcie! I just wanted to check on how your practice with paralyse spell is going and if you need any more assistance?

@dragonborn-archmage

Nurcie looked up at her, She had put on her full ebony Armour save the helmet and had her axes hang ready at her hips. "Oh! Archmage. I'm alright for now. I'm actually having a Flare up so I'm not up for much practice. No use if I can't focus." She told her regretfully.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear if that. Can I help you in anyway?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "We can hang out if you want, I can make you dinner after since my medication will have kicked in." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I have some spare time right now. We can spend some time together.

Besides your flare up, how are you? What have you been up to lately?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Stressed, which is why I'm feelling achy and my body is faling me. Lately I've been looking into more history, I wanted to learn more about the Thalmor so Arcano doesnt call me stupid if I have questions." She explained with a wave.

"He has a crush on some man so I'm trying to get him better at flirting. If I can pinpoint what common hang ups there are I might be able to give him a chance at not being miserable here. Did you know that he thinks being sent here is a punishment?" She asked her voicing her concerns.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

I did see him and Arnand, a guest to the college, speak to each other. Ancano was very flustered. It was entertaining.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She perked up and moved to put a spread on some bread. "Oh yeah? Well, Arcano flusters easily if you're nice to him. Its rather cute." She told her easily.

"What do you think of the other arch magic. The illusionist." She asked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

"Valryn is nice, We haven't spoke much but I aim to impresser her with progress." She explained.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wish you were here about a month ago, I could have used some flirt training for Eivine... I did get some advice from Tsun, not to discredit him. He has just a very blunt approach.

She tried looking over Nurcie's shoulder and see how it is going for her. Noticing the twitch made her worried.

I can help if you want.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie looked back and pulled the bread from her mouth, it a blush gel with white chunks. "I can do it! I promise, I'm just taking more pain killer and it has some side effects." She explained with a smile, easy going.

The food looked fine, ingredients and spices ready next to her.

"What went down with Elivin? Maybe I can still help. even if you're together flirting can keep the spark alive as your partner knows you still desire them." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

We haven't been together that long yet but I'll ask you if I need any help. As of right now the spark is very much alive.

Oh by the way, I don't know if you have encountered her yet but Eivine is here in the college as well. I think I told you she is one of the Archmages here.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "I haven't actually. Is she pretty?" She asked teasingly, flahsing a smile back at her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

More than just pretty, she's beautiful. But I might be slightly biased as well.

Anyway, about Ancano. What do you mean by flirt training needs "hands on" approach? I assume you talked to him and gave him examples. Was there more than that?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Hands on as in, practice? light touches, warm words and eye contact. Some things such as reading body language is a skill you need to exercise or you'll lose it." She offered as an example.

"Ah, I giess Roleplay is the best way to put it. I flirt with him, explain how it works, then he does it back and I tell him how fo improve." She listed as he finished the chicken and added a powdery seasoing to it from a bkue bottle.

[dragonborn-archmage]

That is very kind of you. I have noticed he seems to be interested in Arnand. I was around the area where they were talking and Ancano seemed a bit flustered. But besides that I think your training really helped him. He wasn't as socially inadequate as I pictured.

Morgan relaxed against the chair and smiled as the aromatic food filled the room.

It smells really good by the way. I didn't realise how hungry I was until now.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Good, My training has been fruitful then. I hope you enjoy my cooking. I like spices and spicy foods but I haven't made anything hot yet if you're not into that." She told her.

"Arcano has a good face going for him. With a little social polishing people will hate him plenty less." She joked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Well, Ancano has some other issues than being socially awkward. He's a Thalmor and a dickhead... sorry, but he is.

I don't mind any spices actually. My spice tolerance might be a bit lower, it's hard to find or eat food with any sort of spices in Skyrim. I miss when my food tasted more than just frost miriam or garlic.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Its ok. You won't hurt my feelings." She told her as she seasoned the chicken and choweder with more spices and poisons.

"Garlic is good but it gets old if its all there is." She agreed.

"Have you tried putting Frost Miriam in water? its not tea but the water is more refreshing." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Yes, but you seem to like him well enough. You taught him how to flirt.

I haven't tried that actually. I have a lot of dried frost miriam at home. I assume fresh or dried can work. It sounds like it would be good to drink during a hot summer. Which we don't really have here.

Morgan chuckles.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Fresh is best the oil is the flavorful part to leaks into the water." She explained, thinking for a moment.

"Arch mage, Do you think I am attracted to Arcano?" She asked her bluntly, not facing her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I- well, I can't really answer that can I?

She awkwardly chuckles as she shifts in her seat.

I think you might be? Maybe. I don't know. You speak highly of him despite his very obvious flaws. And you said he's attractive... maybe? Truthfully, Nurcie, only you can answer that.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "I am a free lady however I will admit I find the idea of sleeping with him to be degrading." She told her bluntly before turning to serve Morgan the food she prepared in a nice bowl and plate.

"I hope you like chicken, its the spicist." She told her sweetly and with a smile.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Thank you so much, Nurcie. This looks and smells lovely.

Morgan eats the food Nurcie served her. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high so she had to drink more than she anticipated. Regardless of the spice and the sniffles it gave her, she smiled at Nurcie.

It's very good. Thank you.

She continued eating, obviously not noticing the poison in the food or the effects of it.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie smiled at her. "I'm glad you like it. I'd be happy to keep cooking for you. I Honesty think The dunmer fire resistance makes us better able to totolerate spicy food, Though I haven't tested it." She mused, watching her eat as she had finshed her toast a long time ago.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I need to build it up again. Eivine is part dunmer and I haven't tried any of her cooking yet but I imagine it will be as spicy as this.

Morgan chuckled and continued to eat. Her plate was almost finished. Still not noticing the poison. She paused eating again to speak.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan wanted to thrash, kick, and spit on Nurcie. It was only when she mentioned she can't use any magicka she felt how fuzzy her head was. It was like a thick fog in her head.

Shivers were sent down her spine the way Nurcie talked. She imagined the sweet girl persona was all an act but she kept it up even now. It was amusing to her she thought Morgan had enchanted her clothes when that hasn't been needed for years. At least for her.

It did give her a pit in her stomach that she wouldn't be found. As well as Magni. She can think of a way out.

Removing Morgan's clothes Nurcie would see her body was filled with strange tattoos. Wrapping around her arms and legs with some symbols here and there. Though the tattoos were destroyed by a burn scars on her right forearm and the right side of her abdomen to her hip.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stripped her and set her clothes and jewelary aside before putting Morgan back on the bag so she wasnt on the snow. "There, I didn't expect you to have tattoos but these looked ruined." She said with relief before backing away and locking her in the cage. "There, I'll be back soon to warm you up. I've been keeping this place clear so there shouldn't be any trouble, ok?" She told her sweetly.

"I'm excited for all this to be over so we can all be friends forever." She told her warmly before racing off so Morgan wouldnt freeze to death.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan glanced at singular lockpick and cursed to herself. She doesn't know how to use it, she has alteration magic and fire at her disposal. Or at least she did minutes ago. She tried something basic like a flames spell but nothing left her hands. She curled up and hugged herself to keep herself warm.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie came back carrying another bundle in her arms. "I brought warmth!" She cheered before opening the cage and starting to set up and nice and warm sleeping roll.

"I hope you arent too cold. I don't really feel it anymore but It used to such. Can you move yet? I Brought some warm robes for you. I think they'll be cute on you." She commented as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan managed to move her fingers then tried to move her arms. They're moving to her relief. She can't escape yet though. She's still bound. She can't use her thu'um or magic. For now it was better to play along with her.

She nodded and smiled as best she could at Nurcie, reaching her hands out to the new robes.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie grinned and Untied her hands to help her into the new purple robes. "I know, its cold. I can start a fire if its too much." She offered kindly before joking.

"I doubt you would take up being a vampire this quickly just for the cold Resistance."

it seemed Nurcue did actually care about Morgan even if she had taken her hostage....

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan shook her head as she adjusted the robes on her. She considered removing the cloth from her mouth but she wouldn't be able to resist using her thu'um then. She needed to express her needs somehow.

She spelled out "fire" using sign language.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and took her hands again to bind them once more. "Ok, I'll make one for you in a minute. I don't have any wood on me so that will be another trip." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

She grumbled as her hands were tied again and began already tugging at them. She didn't want to but she couldn't help but give Nurcie a death glare. It was hard acting nice when she had just been kidnapped.

Nurcie leaving again could at least give her an opportunity to explore... somehow. She could scoot around the cage but it didn't offer much space.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie took some leather and set it by her before she untied her legs. "I know, I know. I could get you some books?" She offered as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan gestured to her bound hands with her head as Nurcie suggested it.

She could escape now. The cage door is open. She can walk again. She kicked her captor and tried to get out of the cage.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice turned and tackled her to the ground with 300 lb of force. She grabbed her by the hair and sat on her so she could chug a potion of magicka.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie holds in a screech and shakes quietly from her small hole in the wall where shes folded up like a bag of flesh. She Holds the mask close, her lips pursed to hold back sound as she watches Miraaks face.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Whoever or whatever wretched creature stole that is going to be given the charitable and quick opportunity to return it before I set this entire building ablaze.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie snorted and held her hand out with the mask. "Your face!" She laughed, years streaming down her face.

Nurcies position was... uncomfortabe looking to say the least, Cramed into a small nook and bend in odd angles.

"Gods that was so Funny." She laughed still.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“What the…..how are you…? Nevermind, I don’t even want to know, I hope your amusement has been fulfilled,” he grumbles snatching it back from her hand.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and wiggled out of the crack. "It has! Thank you. What are you doing in white run?" She asked him easily, In her theifs guild armour.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“I’m visiting with Kayla, she has friends and such here and the jarl tends to call to her for annoying tasks and missions. She used to live here for a while but that was much before we ever met.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded along and streched, her joints popping like breaking bones. "That makes sense. If you get sent on a misson can I come with? I'm a frount liner or an Archer. I can also provide some magic support. " She offered him.

"You can consider it pay back for Taking your mask from you." She told him with a grin.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That wouldn’t be up to me, that would up to her. I don’t do missions for the jarl,” he replies wincing at the sound of her popping joints.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed and relaxed. "True, are you waiting here for her? Maybe we could stop by the general goods store and look around?" She offered next.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Oh no, she’s here. She was bargaining with Hulda for a different room. The store is…..fine, though I don’t trust that shop keeper….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She blinked up at him and tilted hee head. "You mean how he says if he had a sister that he would sell her? isn't that a joke? maybe poor taste but it has to be a joke." she told him easily.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Yes, even joking it’s odd-he’s just generally unsettling. I’m surprised Kayla hasn’t killed him yet….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Well, do you want to?" She asked him casully.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Hmm sometimes, but it’s better not to at least for now,” he casually replies surveying the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She sighes. "You're hard to do favours for, you know that?" She asked him dejectedly.

"How about the stalls? Theres pretty things Kayla might like." She offered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Why are you trying to do favors for me in the first place? If you want to shop, Kayla would more than happily join you for that I’m sure and I’ll begrudgingly join.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pointed at his mask. "I took that, Even if I gave it back I want to pay you back since I pranked you." She explained.

"I'm trying to make it up to you." She told him clearly.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak sighs and shakes his head.

“Not every interaction needs to be transactional, I would ask you just don’t do it again. Deal?” he offers scouting around the tavern and seeing Kayla walking with Hilda who gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up-she must’ve gotten the better room.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pouts."Deal, I'll steal other things then. less important ones." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or perhaps just don’t steal anything of mine….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "The other option is placing weird items in strange places or putting funny items in your bag." She told him.

"I need to exercise my itchy fingers with out getting in trouble." She whined, twitching her fingers at him, making more clicking noises.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or you know, just avoid touching me or my belongings in the first place.”

“Why not do that to Belethor? If doesn’t go to plan I’m sure Kayla would help you kill him.” 👍

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Beth-Beth will call the guards. You're cool." She whined.

"Maybe I should try to prank Kayla if you dislike it si much...." She wondered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Besides did I not just say if it went wrong she’d assist in any unfavorable outcomes??”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Yeah, you did but that's stress and if I get too stressed my body starts failing." She told him sadly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Before Miraak can reply, Kayla finally strolls over and greets both of them.

“Hey! How are you doing-you look a little sad?” She greets Nurcie tilting her head.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pouts at Kayla. "Miraak won't let me mess with his stuff. I'm sad because even if I don't wish to upset him too much his reactions are very funny."

"I heard you came to do something for the Jarl. Could I come too?" She asked her politely.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ah I see. Well he is possessive of his stuff,” she laughs. “I think many dovahkiin are.”

“As for the jarl, you interested in clearing out a bandit camp then?”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded eagerly and picked up her axe. "Absolutely, I have space for more souls." She announced cheerfully.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ooh! You like enchanting then? Well let’s make sure you get the gems filled up!” Kayla eagerly replies motioning to head out the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded eagerly and followed. "I am! I'm master of the craft. All my things are enchanted bsck home." She told her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Nice!! Well let’s get you some new supplies then,” she smiles with a light laugh as she strolls her way down the streets of Whiterun out towards the city’s gates.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie kept up, her feet fast. "So, I'm usually a frount liner but I can do archery and support magics if that meshes better with you and Miraak." She offered.

"I get souls with my axes but we can save those for the bandit cheif if you want to play it safe."

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Do whatever works for you! I’m mainly melee, I usually just charge in and start slashing shit!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded sagely. "Ah, a true warrior. If Miraak wants to play support I'd be happy to charge in with you." She told her.

"I like clearing new places with more caution, I can use the aura Shout to find people and determined how many are in a room before we enter." She explained.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sure if you want to strategize in that way. Sometimes I forget that’s a shout available to us….”

“I usually just dive in, no big plan, no strats, just pure instinct- it mainly works.” :)

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She turned back a gave Miraak a look of 'You deal with this?' before turning back to speak.

"Plans don't have to be big but divide and courqer is a good one. Learning how to place differnt fighters in a position where they most shine is useful in limiting injures, reasouce waste and even casulties." She explained.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Trust me, this has been an ongoing habit of hers….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"I see, I've always been careful with my fights. I try to do as much damge as possible before a direct confertation." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That’s similar to Kayla- subtracting the careful part. She will charge in battle head first and begin a ravenous spree with no prior plan, which can have less than desired outcomes but mainly somehow it works to her favor. She’s swift, she’s brutal, and entirely unpredictable. That’s how she managed to knock me down in Apocrypha, I couldn’t predict or decipher her moves or patterns. She’s entropic.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcies eyes sparkles, hands coming uo to cip her cheeks. "That sounds beautiful! Oh I need to see it!" She gushed.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak let’s out a brief soft laugh. “I agree. Well seems like the camp isn’t far from here.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and pulled out her bow, Zephyr, ebony arrows in her quiver. "Perfect, Kayla, If you want we can all use the aura shout and check out the defenses so we can split the load." She offered.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Whatever works for best for you guys!” She exclaims unsheathing her blades as they draw closer to the bandit camp.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice nodded and her already light foot steps seemed to disapper. She fell back behind Miraak and popped a potion for her light armour. "Let's send them to the void." She told them softly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla pauses before she takes another step and instantly whips her head to look at Nurcie.

“You too then?” she says with a surprised but cheerful expression. “Let’s send them to the void,” she repeats with a nod before charging in.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie perks up and beams before using aura whipser. She crouches and starts snipping the other archers as she moves stealthily.

With Kayla being the man distraction hardly any bandit looks for her, focsued on her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla continues clearing the way of enemies. Slashing, stabbing, slicing wherever and whenever. Her movements and attacks are quick, sharp, and unrelenting. Just as described earlier, her attacks don’t quite correspond to a distinct pattern and a few attackers even manage to get a hit or two on her, but nonetheless the sheer brute force, speed, and ferocity of her strikes overwhelm any opposition.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie rounded off the archers and started picking off those close to Kayla, taking one out as kayla turned to deal with with an incoming strike.

It was hard to tell where Nurcie was, not even her bow gleamed in day light.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Good shot,” Miraak compliments before jogging in closer and helping to pick off the rest of the them.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stayed quite, helping pick off the last of the bandits before coming over with healing magic glowing in her hand. "Let me," She started focusing on heal other.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Thank you,” Miraak says giving her space to help heal any cuts or bruises Kayla acquired in her quick rampage.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie shot Kayla with her magic, once, then twice for good measure. "There, Know where ready for more hunting." She told her warmly.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hello Nurcie! I just wanted to check on how your practice with paralyse spell is going and if you need any more assistance?

@dragonborn-archmage

Nurcie looked up at her, She had put on her full ebony Armour save the helmet and had her axes hang ready at her hips. "Oh! Archmage. I'm alright for now. I'm actually having a Flare up so I'm not up for much practice. No use if I can't focus." She told her regretfully.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear if that. Can I help you in anyway?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "We can hang out if you want, I can make you dinner after since my medication will have kicked in." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I have some spare time right now. We can spend some time together.

Besides your flare up, how are you? What have you been up to lately?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Stressed, which is why I'm feelling achy and my body is faling me. Lately I've been looking into more history, I wanted to learn more about the Thalmor so Arcano doesnt call me stupid if I have questions." She explained with a wave.

"He has a crush on some man so I'm trying to get him better at flirting. If I can pinpoint what common hang ups there are I might be able to give him a chance at not being miserable here. Did you know that he thinks being sent here is a punishment?" She asked her voicing her concerns.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

I did see him and Arnand, a guest to the college, speak to each other. Ancano was very flustered. It was entertaining.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She perked up and moved to put a spread on some bread. "Oh yeah? Well, Arcano flusters easily if you're nice to him. Its rather cute." She told her easily.

"What do you think of the other arch magic. The illusionist." She asked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

"Valryn is nice, We haven't spoke much but I aim to impresser her with progress." She explained.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wish you were here about a month ago, I could have used some flirt training for Eivine... I did get some advice from Tsun, not to discredit him. He has just a very blunt approach.

She tried looking over Nurcie's shoulder and see how it is going for her. Noticing the twitch made her worried.

I can help if you want.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie looked back and pulled the bread from her mouth, it a blush gel with white chunks. "I can do it! I promise, I'm just taking more pain killer and it has some side effects." She explained with a smile, easy going.

The food looked fine, ingredients and spices ready next to her.

"What went down with Elivin? Maybe I can still help. even if you're together flirting can keep the spark alive as your partner knows you still desire them." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

We haven't been together that long yet but I'll ask you if I need any help. As of right now the spark is very much alive.

Oh by the way, I don't know if you have encountered her yet but Eivine is here in the college as well. I think I told you she is one of the Archmages here.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "I haven't actually. Is she pretty?" She asked teasingly, flahsing a smile back at her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

More than just pretty, she's beautiful. But I might be slightly biased as well.

Anyway, about Ancano. What do you mean by flirt training needs "hands on" approach? I assume you talked to him and gave him examples. Was there more than that?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Hands on as in, practice? light touches, warm words and eye contact. Some things such as reading body language is a skill you need to exercise or you'll lose it." She offered as an example.

"Ah, I giess Roleplay is the best way to put it. I flirt with him, explain how it works, then he does it back and I tell him how fo improve." She listed as he finished the chicken and added a powdery seasoing to it from a bkue bottle.

[dragonborn-archmage]

That is very kind of you. I have noticed he seems to be interested in Arnand. I was around the area where they were talking and Ancano seemed a bit flustered. But besides that I think your training really helped him. He wasn't as socially inadequate as I pictured.

Morgan relaxed against the chair and smiled as the aromatic food filled the room.

It smells really good by the way. I didn't realise how hungry I was until now.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Good, My training has been fruitful then. I hope you enjoy my cooking. I like spices and spicy foods but I haven't made anything hot yet if you're not into that." She told her.

"Arcano has a good face going for him. With a little social polishing people will hate him plenty less." She joked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Well, Ancano has some other issues than being socially awkward. He's a Thalmor and a dickhead... sorry, but he is.

I don't mind any spices actually. My spice tolerance might be a bit lower, it's hard to find or eat food with any sort of spices in Skyrim. I miss when my food tasted more than just frost miriam or garlic.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Its ok. You won't hurt my feelings." She told her as she seasoned the chicken and choweder with more spices and poisons.

"Garlic is good but it gets old if its all there is." She agreed.

"Have you tried putting Frost Miriam in water? its not tea but the water is more refreshing." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Yes, but you seem to like him well enough. You taught him how to flirt.

I haven't tried that actually. I have a lot of dried frost miriam at home. I assume fresh or dried can work. It sounds like it would be good to drink during a hot summer. Which we don't really have here.

Morgan chuckles.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Fresh is best the oil is the flavorful part to leaks into the water." She explained, thinking for a moment.

"Arch mage, Do you think I am attracted to Arcano?" She asked her bluntly, not facing her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I- well, I can't really answer that can I?

She awkwardly chuckles as she shifts in her seat.

I think you might be? Maybe. I don't know. You speak highly of him despite his very obvious flaws. And you said he's attractive... maybe? Truthfully, Nurcie, only you can answer that.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "I am a free lady however I will admit I find the idea of sleeping with him to be degrading." She told her bluntly before turning to serve Morgan the food she prepared in a nice bowl and plate.

"I hope you like chicken, its the spicist." She told her sweetly and with a smile.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Thank you so much, Nurcie. This looks and smells lovely.

Morgan eats the food Nurcie served her. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high so she had to drink more than she anticipated. Regardless of the spice and the sniffles it gave her, she smiled at Nurcie.

It's very good. Thank you.

She continued eating, obviously not noticing the poison in the food or the effects of it.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie smiled at her. "I'm glad you like it. I'd be happy to keep cooking for you. I Honesty think The dunmer fire resistance makes us better able to totolerate spicy food, Though I haven't tested it." She mused, watching her eat as she had finshed her toast a long time ago.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I need to build it up again. Eivine is part dunmer and I haven't tried any of her cooking yet but I imagine it will be as spicy as this.

Morgan chuckled and continued to eat. Her plate was almost finished. Still not noticing the poison. She paused eating again to speak.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan wanted to thrash, kick, and spit on Nurcie. It was only when she mentioned she can't use any magicka she felt how fuzzy her head was. It was like a thick fog in her head.

Shivers were sent down her spine the way Nurcie talked. She imagined the sweet girl persona was all an act but she kept it up even now. It was amusing to her she thought Morgan had enchanted her clothes when that hasn't been needed for years. At least for her.

It did give her a pit in her stomach that she wouldn't be found. As well as Magni. She can think of a way out.

Removing Morgan's clothes Nurcie would see her body was filled with strange tattoos. Wrapping around her arms and legs with some symbols here and there. Though the tattoos were destroyed by a burn scars on her right forearm and the right side of her abdomen to her hip.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stripped her and set her clothes and jewelary aside before putting Morgan back on the bag so she wasnt on the snow. "There, I didn't expect you to have tattoos but these looked ruined." She said with relief before backing away and locking her in the cage. "There, I'll be back soon to warm you up. I've been keeping this place clear so there shouldn't be any trouble, ok?" She told her sweetly.

"I'm excited for all this to be over so we can all be friends forever." She told her warmly before racing off so Morgan wouldnt freeze to death.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan glanced at singular lockpick and cursed to herself. She doesn't know how to use it, she has alteration magic and fire at her disposal. Or at least she did minutes ago. She tried something basic like a flames spell but nothing left her hands. She curled up and hugged herself to keep herself warm.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie came back carrying another bundle in her arms. "I brought warmth!" She cheered before opening the cage and starting to set up and nice and warm sleeping roll.

"I hope you arent too cold. I don't really feel it anymore but It used to such. Can you move yet? I Brought some warm robes for you. I think they'll be cute on you." She commented as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan managed to move her fingers then tried to move her arms. They're moving to her relief. She can't escape yet though. She's still bound. She can't use her thu'um or magic. For now it was better to play along with her.

She nodded and smiled as best she could at Nurcie, reaching her hands out to the new robes.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie grinned and Untied her hands to help her into the new purple robes. "I know, its cold. I can start a fire if its too much." She offered kindly before joking.

"I doubt you would take up being a vampire this quickly just for the cold Resistance."

it seemed Nurcue did actually care about Morgan even if she had taken her hostage....

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan shook her head as she adjusted the robes on her. She considered removing the cloth from her mouth but she wouldn't be able to resist using her thu'um then. She needed to express her needs somehow.

She spelled out "fire" using sign language.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and took her hands again to bind them once more. "Ok, I'll make one for you in a minute. I don't have any wood on me so that will be another trip." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

She grumbled as her hands were tied again and began already tugging at them. She didn't want to but she couldn't help but give Nurcie a death glare. It was hard acting nice when she had just been kidnapped.

Nurcie leaving again could at least give her an opportunity to explore... somehow. She could scoot around the cage but it didn't offer much space.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie took some leather and set it by her before she untied her legs. "I know, I know. I could get you some books?" She offered as she worked.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie holds in a screech and shakes quietly from her small hole in the wall where shes folded up like a bag of flesh. She Holds the mask close, her lips pursed to hold back sound as she watches Miraaks face.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Whoever or whatever wretched creature stole that is going to be given the charitable and quick opportunity to return it before I set this entire building ablaze.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie snorted and held her hand out with the mask. "Your face!" She laughed, years streaming down her face.

Nurcies position was... uncomfortabe looking to say the least, Cramed into a small nook and bend in odd angles.

"Gods that was so Funny." She laughed still.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“What the…..how are you…? Nevermind, I don’t even want to know, I hope your amusement has been fulfilled,” he grumbles snatching it back from her hand.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and wiggled out of the crack. "It has! Thank you. What are you doing in white run?" She asked him easily, In her theifs guild armour.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“I’m visiting with Kayla, she has friends and such here and the jarl tends to call to her for annoying tasks and missions. She used to live here for a while but that was much before we ever met.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded along and streched, her joints popping like breaking bones. "That makes sense. If you get sent on a misson can I come with? I'm a frount liner or an Archer. I can also provide some magic support. " She offered him.

"You can consider it pay back for Taking your mask from you." She told him with a grin.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That wouldn’t be up to me, that would up to her. I don’t do missions for the jarl,” he replies wincing at the sound of her popping joints.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed and relaxed. "True, are you waiting here for her? Maybe we could stop by the general goods store and look around?" She offered next.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Oh no, she’s here. She was bargaining with Hulda for a different room. The store is…..fine, though I don’t trust that shop keeper….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She blinked up at him and tilted hee head. "You mean how he says if he had a sister that he would sell her? isn't that a joke? maybe poor taste but it has to be a joke." she told him easily.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Yes, even joking it’s odd-he’s just generally unsettling. I’m surprised Kayla hasn’t killed him yet….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Well, do you want to?" She asked him casully.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Hmm sometimes, but it’s better not to at least for now,” he casually replies surveying the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She sighes. "You're hard to do favours for, you know that?" She asked him dejectedly.

"How about the stalls? Theres pretty things Kayla might like." She offered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Why are you trying to do favors for me in the first place? If you want to shop, Kayla would more than happily join you for that I’m sure and I’ll begrudgingly join.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pointed at his mask. "I took that, Even if I gave it back I want to pay you back since I pranked you." She explained.

"I'm trying to make it up to you." She told him clearly.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak sighs and shakes his head.

“Not every interaction needs to be transactional, I would ask you just don’t do it again. Deal?” he offers scouting around the tavern and seeing Kayla walking with Hilda who gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up-she must’ve gotten the better room.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pouts."Deal, I'll steal other things then. less important ones." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or perhaps just don’t steal anything of mine….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "The other option is placing weird items in strange places or putting funny items in your bag." She told him.

"I need to exercise my itchy fingers with out getting in trouble." She whined, twitching her fingers at him, making more clicking noises.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or you know, just avoid touching me or my belongings in the first place.”

“Why not do that to Belethor? If doesn’t go to plan I’m sure Kayla would help you kill him.” 👍

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Beth-Beth will call the guards. You're cool." She whined.

"Maybe I should try to prank Kayla if you dislike it si much...." She wondered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Besides did I not just say if it went wrong she’d assist in any unfavorable outcomes??”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Yeah, you did but that's stress and if I get too stressed my body starts failing." She told him sadly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Before Miraak can reply, Kayla finally strolls over and greets both of them.

“Hey! How are you doing-you look a little sad?” She greets Nurcie tilting her head.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pouts at Kayla. "Miraak won't let me mess with his stuff. I'm sad because even if I don't wish to upset him too much his reactions are very funny."

"I heard you came to do something for the Jarl. Could I come too?" She asked her politely.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ah I see. Well he is possessive of his stuff,” she laughs. “I think many dovahkiin are.”

“As for the jarl, you interested in clearing out a bandit camp then?”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded eagerly and picked up her axe. "Absolutely, I have space for more souls." She announced cheerfully.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ooh! You like enchanting then? Well let’s make sure you get the gems filled up!” Kayla eagerly replies motioning to head out the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded eagerly and followed. "I am! I'm master of the craft. All my things are enchanted bsck home." She told her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Nice!! Well let’s get you some new supplies then,” she smiles with a light laugh as she strolls her way down the streets of Whiterun out towards the city’s gates.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie kept up, her feet fast. "So, I'm usually a frount liner but I can do archery and support magics if that meshes better with you and Miraak." She offered.

"I get souls with my axes but we can save those for the bandit cheif if you want to play it safe."

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Do whatever works for you! I’m mainly melee, I usually just charge in and start slashing shit!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded sagely. "Ah, a true warrior. If Miraak wants to play support I'd be happy to charge in with you." She told her.

"I like clearing new places with more caution, I can use the aura Shout to find people and determined how many are in a room before we enter." She explained.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sure if you want to strategize in that way. Sometimes I forget that’s a shout available to us….”

“I usually just dive in, no big plan, no strats, just pure instinct- it mainly works.” :)

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She turned back a gave Miraak a look of 'You deal with this?' before turning back to speak.

"Plans don't have to be big but divide and courqer is a good one. Learning how to place differnt fighters in a position where they most shine is useful in limiting injures, reasouce waste and even casulties." She explained.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Trust me, this has been an ongoing habit of hers….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"I see, I've always been careful with my fights. I try to do as much damge as possible before a direct confertation." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That’s similar to Kayla- subtracting the careful part. She will charge in battle head first and begin a ravenous spree with no prior plan, which can have less than desired outcomes but mainly somehow it works to her favor. She’s swift, she’s brutal, and entirely unpredictable. That’s how she managed to knock me down in Apocrypha, I couldn’t predict or decipher her moves or patterns. She’s entropic.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcies eyes sparkles, hands coming uo to cip her cheeks. "That sounds beautiful! Oh I need to see it!" She gushed.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak let’s out a brief soft laugh. “I agree. Well seems like the camp isn’t far from here.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and pulled out her bow, Zephyr, ebony arrows in her quiver. "Perfect, Kayla, If you want we can all use the aura shout and check out the defenses so we can split the load." She offered.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Whatever works for best for you guys!” She exclaims unsheathing her blades as they draw closer to the bandit camp.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice nodded and her already light foot steps seemed to disapper. She fell back behind Miraak and popped a potion for her light armour. "Let's send them to the void." She told them softly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla pauses before she takes another step and instantly whips her head to look at Nurcie.

“You too then?” she says with a surprised but cheerful expression. “Let’s send them to the void,” she repeats with a nod before charging in.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie perks up and beams before using aura whipser. She crouches and starts snipping the other archers as she moves stealthily.

With Kayla being the man distraction hardly any bandit looks for her, focsued on her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla continues clearing the way of enemies. Slashing, stabbing, slicing wherever and whenever. Her movements and attacks are quick, sharp, and unrelenting. Just as described earlier, her attacks don’t quite correspond to a distinct pattern and a few attackers even manage to get a hit or two on her, but nonetheless the sheer brute force, speed, and ferocity of her strikes overwhelm any opposition.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie rounded off the archers and started picking off those close to Kayla, taking one out as kayla turned to deal with with an incoming strike.

It was hard to tell where Nurcie was, not even her bow gleamed in day light.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Good shot,” Miraak compliments before jogging in closer and helping to pick off the rest of the them.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stayed quite, helping pick off the last of the bandits before coming over with healing magic glowing in her hand. "Let me," She started focusing on heal other.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hello Nurcie! I just wanted to check on how your practice with paralyse spell is going and if you need any more assistance?

@dragonborn-archmage

Nurcie looked up at her, She had put on her full ebony Armour save the helmet and had her axes hang ready at her hips. "Oh! Archmage. I'm alright for now. I'm actually having a Flare up so I'm not up for much practice. No use if I can't focus." She told her regretfully.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear if that. Can I help you in anyway?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "We can hang out if you want, I can make you dinner after since my medication will have kicked in." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I have some spare time right now. We can spend some time together.

Besides your flare up, how are you? What have you been up to lately?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Stressed, which is why I'm feelling achy and my body is faling me. Lately I've been looking into more history, I wanted to learn more about the Thalmor so Arcano doesnt call me stupid if I have questions." She explained with a wave.

"He has a crush on some man so I'm trying to get him better at flirting. If I can pinpoint what common hang ups there are I might be able to give him a chance at not being miserable here. Did you know that he thinks being sent here is a punishment?" She asked her voicing her concerns.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

I did see him and Arnand, a guest to the college, speak to each other. Ancano was very flustered. It was entertaining.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She perked up and moved to put a spread on some bread. "Oh yeah? Well, Arcano flusters easily if you're nice to him. Its rather cute." She told her easily.

"What do you think of the other arch magic. The illusionist." She asked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

"Valryn is nice, We haven't spoke much but I aim to impresser her with progress." She explained.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wish you were here about a month ago, I could have used some flirt training for Eivine... I did get some advice from Tsun, not to discredit him. He has just a very blunt approach.

She tried looking over Nurcie's shoulder and see how it is going for her. Noticing the twitch made her worried.

I can help if you want.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie looked back and pulled the bread from her mouth, it a blush gel with white chunks. "I can do it! I promise, I'm just taking more pain killer and it has some side effects." She explained with a smile, easy going.

The food looked fine, ingredients and spices ready next to her.

"What went down with Elivin? Maybe I can still help. even if you're together flirting can keep the spark alive as your partner knows you still desire them." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

We haven't been together that long yet but I'll ask you if I need any help. As of right now the spark is very much alive.

Oh by the way, I don't know if you have encountered her yet but Eivine is here in the college as well. I think I told you she is one of the Archmages here.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "I haven't actually. Is she pretty?" She asked teasingly, flahsing a smile back at her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

More than just pretty, she's beautiful. But I might be slightly biased as well.

Anyway, about Ancano. What do you mean by flirt training needs "hands on" approach? I assume you talked to him and gave him examples. Was there more than that?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Hands on as in, practice? light touches, warm words and eye contact. Some things such as reading body language is a skill you need to exercise or you'll lose it." She offered as an example.

"Ah, I giess Roleplay is the best way to put it. I flirt with him, explain how it works, then he does it back and I tell him how fo improve." She listed as he finished the chicken and added a powdery seasoing to it from a bkue bottle.

[dragonborn-archmage]

That is very kind of you. I have noticed he seems to be interested in Arnand. I was around the area where they were talking and Ancano seemed a bit flustered. But besides that I think your training really helped him. He wasn't as socially inadequate as I pictured.

Morgan relaxed against the chair and smiled as the aromatic food filled the room.

It smells really good by the way. I didn't realise how hungry I was until now.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Good, My training has been fruitful then. I hope you enjoy my cooking. I like spices and spicy foods but I haven't made anything hot yet if you're not into that." She told her.

"Arcano has a good face going for him. With a little social polishing people will hate him plenty less." She joked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Well, Ancano has some other issues than being socially awkward. He's a Thalmor and a dickhead... sorry, but he is.

I don't mind any spices actually. My spice tolerance might be a bit lower, it's hard to find or eat food with any sort of spices in Skyrim. I miss when my food tasted more than just frost miriam or garlic.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Its ok. You won't hurt my feelings." She told her as she seasoned the chicken and choweder with more spices and poisons.

"Garlic is good but it gets old if its all there is." She agreed.

"Have you tried putting Frost Miriam in water? its not tea but the water is more refreshing." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Yes, but you seem to like him well enough. You taught him how to flirt.

I haven't tried that actually. I have a lot of dried frost miriam at home. I assume fresh or dried can work. It sounds like it would be good to drink during a hot summer. Which we don't really have here.

Morgan chuckles.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Fresh is best the oil is the flavorful part to leaks into the water." She explained, thinking for a moment.

"Arch mage, Do you think I am attracted to Arcano?" She asked her bluntly, not facing her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I- well, I can't really answer that can I?

She awkwardly chuckles as she shifts in her seat.

I think you might be? Maybe. I don't know. You speak highly of him despite his very obvious flaws. And you said he's attractive... maybe? Truthfully, Nurcie, only you can answer that.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "I am a free lady however I will admit I find the idea of sleeping with him to be degrading." She told her bluntly before turning to serve Morgan the food she prepared in a nice bowl and plate.

"I hope you like chicken, its the spicist." She told her sweetly and with a smile.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Thank you so much, Nurcie. This looks and smells lovely.

Morgan eats the food Nurcie served her. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high so she had to drink more than she anticipated. Regardless of the spice and the sniffles it gave her, she smiled at Nurcie.

It's very good. Thank you.

She continued eating, obviously not noticing the poison in the food or the effects of it.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie smiled at her. "I'm glad you like it. I'd be happy to keep cooking for you. I Honesty think The dunmer fire resistance makes us better able to totolerate spicy food, Though I haven't tested it." She mused, watching her eat as she had finshed her toast a long time ago.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I need to build it up again. Eivine is part dunmer and I haven't tried any of her cooking yet but I imagine it will be as spicy as this.

Morgan chuckled and continued to eat. Her plate was almost finished. Still not noticing the poison. She paused eating again to speak.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan wanted to thrash, kick, and spit on Nurcie. It was only when she mentioned she can't use any magicka she felt how fuzzy her head was. It was like a thick fog in her head.

Shivers were sent down her spine the way Nurcie talked. She imagined the sweet girl persona was all an act but she kept it up even now. It was amusing to her she thought Morgan had enchanted her clothes when that hasn't been needed for years. At least for her.

It did give her a pit in her stomach that she wouldn't be found. As well as Magni. She can think of a way out.

Removing Morgan's clothes Nurcie would see her body was filled with strange tattoos. Wrapping around her arms and legs with some symbols here and there. Though the tattoos were destroyed by a burn scars on her right forearm and the right side of her abdomen to her hip.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stripped her and set her clothes and jewelary aside before putting Morgan back on the bag so she wasnt on the snow. "There, I didn't expect you to have tattoos but these looked ruined." She said with relief before backing away and locking her in the cage. "There, I'll be back soon to warm you up. I've been keeping this place clear so there shouldn't be any trouble, ok?" She told her sweetly.

"I'm excited for all this to be over so we can all be friends forever." She told her warmly before racing off so Morgan wouldnt freeze to death.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan glanced at singular lockpick and cursed to herself. She doesn't know how to use it, she has alteration magic and fire at her disposal. Or at least she did minutes ago. She tried something basic like a flames spell but nothing left her hands. She curled up and hugged herself to keep herself warm.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie came back carrying another bundle in her arms. "I brought warmth!" She cheered before opening the cage and starting to set up and nice and warm sleeping roll.

"I hope you arent too cold. I don't really feel it anymore but It used to such. Can you move yet? I Brought some warm robes for you. I think they'll be cute on you." She commented as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan managed to move her fingers then tried to move her arms. They're moving to her relief. She can't escape yet though. She's still bound. She can't use her thu'um or magic. For now it was better to play along with her.

She nodded and smiled as best she could at Nurcie, reaching her hands out to the new robes.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie grinned and Untied her hands to help her into the new purple robes. "I know, its cold. I can start a fire if its too much." She offered kindly before joking.

"I doubt you would take up being a vampire this quickly just for the cold Resistance."

it seemed Nurcue did actually care about Morgan even if she had taken her hostage....

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan shook her head as she adjusted the robes on her. She considered removing the cloth from her mouth but she wouldn't be able to resist using her thu'um then. She needed to express her needs somehow.

She spelled out "fire" using sign language.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and took her hands again to bind them once more. "Ok, I'll make one for you in a minute. I don't have any wood on me so that will be another trip." She explained easily.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hello Nurcie! I just wanted to check on how your practice with paralyse spell is going and if you need any more assistance?

@dragonborn-archmage

Nurcie looked up at her, She had put on her full ebony Armour save the helmet and had her axes hang ready at her hips. "Oh! Archmage. I'm alright for now. I'm actually having a Flare up so I'm not up for much practice. No use if I can't focus." She told her regretfully.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear if that. Can I help you in anyway?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "We can hang out if you want, I can make you dinner after since my medication will have kicked in." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I have some spare time right now. We can spend some time together.

Besides your flare up, how are you? What have you been up to lately?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Stressed, which is why I'm feelling achy and my body is faling me. Lately I've been looking into more history, I wanted to learn more about the Thalmor so Arcano doesnt call me stupid if I have questions." She explained with a wave.

"He has a crush on some man so I'm trying to get him better at flirting. If I can pinpoint what common hang ups there are I might be able to give him a chance at not being miserable here. Did you know that he thinks being sent here is a punishment?" She asked her voicing her concerns.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

I did see him and Arnand, a guest to the college, speak to each other. Ancano was very flustered. It was entertaining.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She perked up and moved to put a spread on some bread. "Oh yeah? Well, Arcano flusters easily if you're nice to him. Its rather cute." She told her easily.

"What do you think of the other arch magic. The illusionist." She asked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

"Valryn is nice, We haven't spoke much but I aim to impresser her with progress." She explained.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wish you were here about a month ago, I could have used some flirt training for Eivine... I did get some advice from Tsun, not to discredit him. He has just a very blunt approach.

She tried looking over Nurcie's shoulder and see how it is going for her. Noticing the twitch made her worried.

I can help if you want.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie looked back and pulled the bread from her mouth, it a blush gel with white chunks. "I can do it! I promise, I'm just taking more pain killer and it has some side effects." She explained with a smile, easy going.

The food looked fine, ingredients and spices ready next to her.

"What went down with Elivin? Maybe I can still help. even if you're together flirting can keep the spark alive as your partner knows you still desire them." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

We haven't been together that long yet but I'll ask you if I need any help. As of right now the spark is very much alive.

Oh by the way, I don't know if you have encountered her yet but Eivine is here in the college as well. I think I told you she is one of the Archmages here.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "I haven't actually. Is she pretty?" She asked teasingly, flahsing a smile back at her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

More than just pretty, she's beautiful. But I might be slightly biased as well.

Anyway, about Ancano. What do you mean by flirt training needs "hands on" approach? I assume you talked to him and gave him examples. Was there more than that?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Hands on as in, practice? light touches, warm words and eye contact. Some things such as reading body language is a skill you need to exercise or you'll lose it." She offered as an example.

"Ah, I giess Roleplay is the best way to put it. I flirt with him, explain how it works, then he does it back and I tell him how fo improve." She listed as he finished the chicken and added a powdery seasoing to it from a bkue bottle.

[dragonborn-archmage]

That is very kind of you. I have noticed he seems to be interested in Arnand. I was around the area where they were talking and Ancano seemed a bit flustered. But besides that I think your training really helped him. He wasn't as socially inadequate as I pictured.

Morgan relaxed against the chair and smiled as the aromatic food filled the room.

It smells really good by the way. I didn't realise how hungry I was until now.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Good, My training has been fruitful then. I hope you enjoy my cooking. I like spices and spicy foods but I haven't made anything hot yet if you're not into that." She told her.

"Arcano has a good face going for him. With a little social polishing people will hate him plenty less." She joked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Well, Ancano has some other issues than being socially awkward. He's a Thalmor and a dickhead... sorry, but he is.

I don't mind any spices actually. My spice tolerance might be a bit lower, it's hard to find or eat food with any sort of spices in Skyrim. I miss when my food tasted more than just frost miriam or garlic.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Its ok. You won't hurt my feelings." She told her as she seasoned the chicken and choweder with more spices and poisons.

"Garlic is good but it gets old if its all there is." She agreed.

"Have you tried putting Frost Miriam in water? its not tea but the water is more refreshing." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Yes, but you seem to like him well enough. You taught him how to flirt.

I haven't tried that actually. I have a lot of dried frost miriam at home. I assume fresh or dried can work. It sounds like it would be good to drink during a hot summer. Which we don't really have here.

Morgan chuckles.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Fresh is best the oil is the flavorful part to leaks into the water." She explained, thinking for a moment.

"Arch mage, Do you think I am attracted to Arcano?" She asked her bluntly, not facing her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I- well, I can't really answer that can I?

She awkwardly chuckles as she shifts in her seat.

I think you might be? Maybe. I don't know. You speak highly of him despite his very obvious flaws. And you said he's attractive... maybe? Truthfully, Nurcie, only you can answer that.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "I am a free lady however I will admit I find the idea of sleeping with him to be degrading." She told her bluntly before turning to serve Morgan the food she prepared in a nice bowl and plate.

"I hope you like chicken, its the spicist." She told her sweetly and with a smile.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Thank you so much, Nurcie. This looks and smells lovely.

Morgan eats the food Nurcie served her. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high so she had to drink more than she anticipated. Regardless of the spice and the sniffles it gave her, she smiled at Nurcie.

It's very good. Thank you.

She continued eating, obviously not noticing the poison in the food or the effects of it.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie smiled at her. "I'm glad you like it. I'd be happy to keep cooking for you. I Honesty think The dunmer fire resistance makes us better able to totolerate spicy food, Though I haven't tested it." She mused, watching her eat as she had finshed her toast a long time ago.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I need to build it up again. Eivine is part dunmer and I haven't tried any of her cooking yet but I imagine it will be as spicy as this.

Morgan chuckled and continued to eat. Her plate was almost finished. Still not noticing the poison. She paused eating again to speak.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan wanted to thrash, kick, and spit on Nurcie. It was only when she mentioned she can't use any magicka she felt how fuzzy her head was. It was like a thick fog in her head.

Shivers were sent down her spine the way Nurcie talked. She imagined the sweet girl persona was all an act but she kept it up even now. It was amusing to her she thought Morgan had enchanted her clothes when that hasn't been needed for years. At least for her.

It did give her a pit in her stomach that she wouldn't be found. As well as Magni. She can think of a way out.

Removing Morgan's clothes Nurcie would see her body was filled with strange tattoos. Wrapping around her arms and legs with some symbols here and there. Though the tattoos were destroyed by a burn scars on her right forearm and the right side of her abdomen to her hip.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stripped her and set her clothes and jewelary aside before putting Morgan back on the bag so she wasnt on the snow. "There, I didn't expect you to have tattoos but these looked ruined." She said with relief before backing away and locking her in the cage. "There, I'll be back soon to warm you up. I've been keeping this place clear so there shouldn't be any trouble, ok?" She told her sweetly.

"I'm excited for all this to be over so we can all be friends forever." She told her warmly before racing off so Morgan wouldnt freeze to death.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan glanced at singular lockpick and cursed to herself. She doesn't know how to use it, she has alteration magic and fire at her disposal. Or at least she did minutes ago. She tried something basic like a flames spell but nothing left her hands. She curled up and hugged herself to keep herself warm.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie came back carrying another bundle in her arms. "I brought warmth!" She cheered before opening the cage and starting to set up and nice and warm sleeping roll.

"I hope you arent too cold. I don't really feel it anymore but It used to such. Can you move yet? I Brought some warm robes for you. I think they'll be cute on you." She commented as she worked.

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

I did see him and Arnand, a guest to the college, speak to each other. Ancano was very flustered. It was entertaining.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She perked up and moved to put a spread on some bread. "Oh yeah? Well, Arcano flusters easily if you're nice to him. Its rather cute." She told her easily.

"What do you think of the other arch magic. The illusionist." She asked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

"Valryn is nice, We haven't spoke much but I aim to impresser her with progress." She explained.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wish you were here about a month ago, I could have used some flirt training for Eivine... I did get some advice from Tsun, not to discredit him. He has just a very blunt approach.

She tried looking over Nurcie's shoulder and see how it is going for her. Noticing the twitch made her worried.

I can help if you want.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie looked back and pulled the bread from her mouth, it a blush gel with white chunks. "I can do it! I promise, I'm just taking more pain killer and it has some side effects." She explained with a smile, easy going.

The food looked fine, ingredients and spices ready next to her.

"What went down with Elivin? Maybe I can still help. even if you're together flirting can keep the spark alive as your partner knows you still desire them." She explained easily.

[dragonborn-archmage]

We haven't been together that long yet but I'll ask you if I need any help. As of right now the spark is very much alive.

Oh by the way, I don't know if you have encountered her yet but Eivine is here in the college as well. I think I told you she is one of the Archmages here.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "I haven't actually. Is she pretty?" She asked teasingly, flahsing a smile back at her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

More than just pretty, she's beautiful. But I might be slightly biased as well.

Anyway, about Ancano. What do you mean by flirt training needs "hands on" approach? I assume you talked to him and gave him examples. Was there more than that?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Hands on as in, practice? light touches, warm words and eye contact. Some things such as reading body language is a skill you need to exercise or you'll lose it." She offered as an example.

"Ah, I giess Roleplay is the best way to put it. I flirt with him, explain how it works, then he does it back and I tell him how fo improve." She listed as he finished the chicken and added a powdery seasoing to it from a bkue bottle.

[dragonborn-archmage]

That is very kind of you. I have noticed he seems to be interested in Arnand. I was around the area where they were talking and Ancano seemed a bit flustered. But besides that I think your training really helped him. He wasn't as socially inadequate as I pictured.

Morgan relaxed against the chair and smiled as the aromatic food filled the room.

It smells really good by the way. I didn't realise how hungry I was until now.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Good, My training has been fruitful then. I hope you enjoy my cooking. I like spices and spicy foods but I haven't made anything hot yet if you're not into that." She told her.

"Arcano has a good face going for him. With a little social polishing people will hate him plenty less." She joked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Well, Ancano has some other issues than being socially awkward. He's a Thalmor and a dickhead... sorry, but he is.

I don't mind any spices actually. My spice tolerance might be a bit lower, it's hard to find or eat food with any sort of spices in Skyrim. I miss when my food tasted more than just frost miriam or garlic.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She chuckled. "Its ok. You won't hurt my feelings." She told her as she seasoned the chicken and choweder with more spices and poisons.

"Garlic is good but it gets old if its all there is." She agreed.

"Have you tried putting Frost Miriam in water? its not tea but the water is more refreshing." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Yes, but you seem to like him well enough. You taught him how to flirt.

I haven't tried that actually. I have a lot of dried frost miriam at home. I assume fresh or dried can work. It sounds like it would be good to drink during a hot summer. Which we don't really have here.

Morgan chuckles.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Fresh is best the oil is the flavorful part to leaks into the water." She explained, thinking for a moment.

"Arch mage, Do you think I am attracted to Arcano?" She asked her bluntly, not facing her as she cooked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I- well, I can't really answer that can I?

She awkwardly chuckles as she shifts in her seat.

I think you might be? Maybe. I don't know. You speak highly of him despite his very obvious flaws. And you said he's attractive... maybe? Truthfully, Nurcie, only you can answer that.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "I am a free lady however I will admit I find the idea of sleeping with him to be degrading." She told her bluntly before turning to serve Morgan the food she prepared in a nice bowl and plate.

"I hope you like chicken, its the spicist." She told her sweetly and with a smile.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Thank you so much, Nurcie. This looks and smells lovely.

Morgan eats the food Nurcie served her. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high so she had to drink more than she anticipated. Regardless of the spice and the sniffles it gave her, she smiled at Nurcie.

It's very good. Thank you.

She continued eating, obviously not noticing the poison in the food or the effects of it.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie smiled at her. "I'm glad you like it. I'd be happy to keep cooking for you. I Honesty think The dunmer fire resistance makes us better able to totolerate spicy food, Though I haven't tested it." She mused, watching her eat as she had finshed her toast a long time ago.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I wouldn't mind that at all. I need to build it up again. Eivine is part dunmer and I haven't tried any of her cooking yet but I imagine it will be as spicy as this.

Morgan chuckled and continued to eat. Her plate was almost finished. Still not noticing the poison. She paused eating again to speak.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Morgan wanted to thrash, kick, and spit on Nurcie. It was only when she mentioned she can't use any magicka she felt how fuzzy her head was. It was like a thick fog in her head.

Shivers were sent down her spine the way Nurcie talked. She imagined the sweet girl persona was all an act but she kept it up even now. It was amusing to her she thought Morgan had enchanted her clothes when that hasn't been needed for years. At least for her.

It did give her a pit in her stomach that she wouldn't be found. As well as Magni. She can think of a way out.

Removing Morgan's clothes Nurcie would see her body was filled with strange tattoos. Wrapping around her arms and legs with some symbols here and there. Though the tattoos were destroyed by a burn scars on her right forearm and the right side of her abdomen to her hip.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie stripped her and set her clothes and jewelary aside before putting Morgan back on the bag so she wasnt on the snow. "There, I didn't expect you to have tattoos but these looked ruined." She said with relief before backing away and locking her in the cage. "There, I'll be back soon to warm you up. I've been keeping this place clear so there shouldn't be any trouble, ok?" She told her sweetly.

"I'm excited for all this to be over so we can all be friends forever." She told her warmly before racing off so Morgan wouldnt freeze to death.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

As Miraak passes a crack in the wall A dark hand sneaks out and snatches is helment right off before hiding in the small space again, the shadow shaking in laughter.

@nurcie-selaethyl

“WHAT THE-WHO THE FUCK?!” he hollers looking around the tavern confused and quite frankly appalled.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie holds in a screech and shakes quietly from her small hole in the wall where shes folded up like a bag of flesh. She Holds the mask close, her lips pursed to hold back sound as she watches Miraaks face.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Whoever or whatever wretched creature stole that is going to be given the charitable and quick opportunity to return it before I set this entire building ablaze.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie snorted and held her hand out with the mask. "Your face!" She laughed, years streaming down her face.

Nurcies position was... uncomfortabe looking to say the least, Cramed into a small nook and bend in odd angles.

"Gods that was so Funny." She laughed still.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“What the…..how are you…? Nevermind, I don’t even want to know, I hope your amusement has been fulfilled,” he grumbles snatching it back from her hand.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded and wiggled out of the crack. "It has! Thank you. What are you doing in white run?" She asked him easily, In her theifs guild armour.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“I’m visiting with Kayla, she has friends and such here and the jarl tends to call to her for annoying tasks and missions. She used to live here for a while but that was much before we ever met.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded along and streched, her joints popping like breaking bones. "That makes sense. If you get sent on a misson can I come with? I'm a frount liner or an Archer. I can also provide some magic support. " She offered him.

"You can consider it pay back for Taking your mask from you." She told him with a grin.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That wouldn’t be up to me, that would up to her. I don’t do missions for the jarl,” he replies wincing at the sound of her popping joints.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed and relaxed. "True, are you waiting here for her? Maybe we could stop by the general goods store and look around?" She offered next.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Oh no, she’s here. She was bargaining with Hulda for a different room. The store is…..fine, though I don’t trust that shop keeper….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She blinked up at him and tilted hee head. "You mean how he says if he had a sister that he would sell her? isn't that a joke? maybe poor taste but it has to be a joke." she told him easily.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Yes, even joking it’s odd-he’s just generally unsettling. I’m surprised Kayla hasn’t killed him yet….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Well, do you want to?" She asked him casully.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Hmm sometimes, but it’s better not to at least for now,” he casually replies surveying the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She sighes. "You're hard to do favours for, you know that?" She asked him dejectedly.

"How about the stalls? Theres pretty things Kayla might like." She offered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Why are you trying to do favors for me in the first place? If you want to shop, Kayla would more than happily join you for that I’m sure and I’ll begrudgingly join.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pointed at his mask. "I took that, Even if I gave it back I want to pay you back since I pranked you." She explained.

"I'm trying to make it up to you." She told him clearly.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak sighs and shakes his head.

“Not every interaction needs to be transactional, I would ask you just don’t do it again. Deal?” he offers scouting around the tavern and seeing Kayla walking with Hilda who gives him an enthusiastic thumbs up-she must’ve gotten the better room.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She pouts."Deal, I'll steal other things then. less important ones." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or perhaps just don’t steal anything of mine….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "The other option is placing weird items in strange places or putting funny items in your bag." She told him.

"I need to exercise my itchy fingers with out getting in trouble." She whined, twitching her fingers at him, making more clicking noises.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Or you know, just avoid touching me or my belongings in the first place.”

“Why not do that to Belethor? If doesn’t go to plan I’m sure Kayla would help you kill him.” 👍

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Beth-Beth will call the guards. You're cool." She whined.

"Maybe I should try to prank Kayla if you dislike it si much...." She wondered.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Besides did I not just say if it went wrong she’d assist in any unfavorable outcomes??”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"Yeah, you did but that's stress and if I get too stressed my body starts failing." She told him sadly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Before Miraak can reply, Kayla finally strolls over and greets both of them.

“Hey! How are you doing-you look a little sad?” She greets Nurcie tilting her head.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie pouts at Kayla. "Miraak won't let me mess with his stuff. I'm sad because even if I don't wish to upset him too much his reactions are very funny."

"I heard you came to do something for the Jarl. Could I come too?" She asked her politely.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ah I see. Well he is possessive of his stuff,” she laughs. “I think many dovahkiin are.”

“As for the jarl, you interested in clearing out a bandit camp then?”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded eagerly and picked up her axe. "Absolutely, I have space for more souls." She announced cheerfully.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Ooh! You like enchanting then? Well let’s make sure you get the gems filled up!” Kayla eagerly replies motioning to head out the tavern.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded eagerly and followed. "I am! I'm master of the craft. All my things are enchanted bsck home." She told her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Nice!! Well let’s get you some new supplies then,” she smiles with a light laugh as she strolls her way down the streets of Whiterun out towards the city’s gates.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie kept up, her feet fast. "So, I'm usually a frount liner but I can do archery and support magics if that meshes better with you and Miraak." She offered.

"I get souls with my axes but we can save those for the bandit cheif if you want to play it safe."

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Do whatever works for you! I’m mainly melee, I usually just charge in and start slashing shit!”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded sagely. "Ah, a true warrior. If Miraak wants to play support I'd be happy to charge in with you." She told her.

"I like clearing new places with more caution, I can use the aura Shout to find people and determined how many are in a room before we enter." She explained.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Sure if you want to strategize in that way. Sometimes I forget that’s a shout available to us….”

“I usually just dive in, no big plan, no strats, just pure instinct- it mainly works.” :)

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She turned back a gave Miraak a look of 'You deal with this?' before turning back to speak.

"Plans don't have to be big but divide and courqer is a good one. Learning how to place differnt fighters in a position where they most shine is useful in limiting injures, reasouce waste and even casulties." She explained.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“Trust me, this has been an ongoing habit of hers….”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

"I see, I've always been careful with my fights. I try to do as much damge as possible before a direct confertation." She told him.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

“That’s similar to Kayla- subtracting the careful part. She will charge in battle head first and begin a ravenous spree with no prior plan, which can have less than desired outcomes but mainly somehow it works to her favor. She’s swift, she’s brutal, and entirely unpredictable. That’s how she managed to knock me down in Apocrypha, I couldn’t predict or decipher her moves or patterns. She’s entropic.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcies eyes sparkles, hands coming uo to cip her cheeks. "That sounds beautiful! Oh I need to see it!" She gushed.

[miraak-the-dovahkiin]

Miraak let’s out a brief soft laugh. “I agree. Well seems like the camp isn’t far from here.”

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie nodded and pulled out her bow, Zephyr, ebony arrows in her quiver. "Perfect, Kayla, If you want we can all use the aura shout and check out the defenses so we can split the load." She offered.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

“Whatever works for best for you guys!” She exclaims unsheathing her blades as they draw closer to the bandit camp.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurice nodded and her already light foot steps seemed to disapper. She fell back behind Miraak and popped a potion for her light armour. "Let's send them to the void." She told them softly.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla pauses before she takes another step and instantly whips her head to look at Nurcie.

“You too then?” she says with a surprised but cheerful expression. “Let’s send them to the void,” she repeats with a nod before charging in.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie perks up and beams before using aura whipser. She crouches and starts snipping the other archers as she moves stealthily.

With Kayla being the man distraction hardly any bandit looks for her, focsued on her.

[kayla-dovahkiin]

Kayla continues clearing the way of enemies. Slashing, stabbing, slicing wherever and whenever. Her movements and attacks are quick, sharp, and unrelenting. Just as described earlier, her attacks don’t quite correspond to a distinct pattern and a few attackers even manage to get a hit or two on her, but nonetheless the sheer brute force, speed, and ferocity of her strikes overwhelm any opposition.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Nurcie rounded off the archers and started picking off those close to Kayla, taking one out as kayla turned to deal with with an incoming strike.

It was hard to tell where Nurcie was, not even her bow gleamed in day light.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

Hello Nurcie! I just wanted to check on how your practice with paralyse spell is going and if you need any more assistance?

@dragonborn-archmage

Nurcie looked up at her, She had put on her full ebony Armour save the helmet and had her axes hang ready at her hips. "Oh! Archmage. I'm alright for now. I'm actually having a Flare up so I'm not up for much practice. No use if I can't focus." She told her regretfully.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear if that. Can I help you in anyway?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "We can hang out if you want, I can make you dinner after since my medication will have kicked in." She offered.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I have some spare time right now. We can spend some time together.

Besides your flare up, how are you? What have you been up to lately?

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She hummed. "Stressed, which is why I'm feelling achy and my body is faling me. Lately I've been looking into more history, I wanted to learn more about the Thalmor so Arcano doesnt call me stupid if I have questions." She explained with a wave.

"He has a crush on some man so I'm trying to get him better at flirting. If I can pinpoint what common hang ups there are I might be able to give him a chance at not being miserable here. Did you know that he thinks being sent here is a punishment?" She asked her voicing her concerns.

[dragonborn-archmage]

I'm aware of that, yes. I don't think he was sent here as a punishment, it sounds like a sob story to me. I'm sure he was sent here to find anything or anyone he could use for the Thalmor's benefit. He found it and now he's suffering the consequences for it.

Morgan spoke in an annoyed tone, clearly not liking Ancano.

[dragonborn-archmage]

Valryn? She is pleasant to speak with and she's a good teacher. I think she has made an excellent addition to the college, especially with her expertise in magic and experience.

Morgan sat down at the table Nurcie was preparing and rests her head in her hand.

Ancano flusters easily? It's sounds like you know it from experience.

[nurcie-selaethyl]

She nodded. "Flirt training requires a hands on approach." she explained before starting to eat her slice if bread.

Her muscles twitched but she worked through it, starting to prepare some clam chowder and some chicken.

But the fire resistance makes sense I guess? It does get very hot. With the food I mean.

She finished her plate and smiled at Nurcie as she got up from her chair.

That was very good. I needed that, thank you so much.

Nurcie nodded and cane over to collect her plate only she patted Morgan's arm, casting Paralysis.

Nurcie Caught morgan and laid her down before taking some leather stripd and coming back to tie her up. "I'm glad you liked it. You'll be able to enjoy my cooking for a long, long time. Well unless you learn to perfer blood." She joked as she tied Morgan's hands and feet together.

"Its seems your lessons worked! lower their magicka resistance and you can cast spells on high level mages! Thank you for that." She told her warmly before taking a shirt and starting to stuff it in Morgan's mouth.

"Don't mind me, I simply can't allow you to escape. You understand don't you? We're friends and friends don't hurt each other." She cooed before she picked up and empty sack from her room and started stuffing Morgan in it.

"All will be well as long as you cooperate. We'll take a little trip and then we can talk again." She told her as she closed the bag over Morgan.

Panic spread through her entire body as she felt a loss of control of it. She knew she saw some odd bottle while Nurcie was cooking but she only assumed it was a personal spice or sauce or whatever.

She tried to move and worm. She didn't even feel a muscle twitch. At least she could still feel as her hands and feet were tied together. She tried tugging against them but she still couldn’t move. The panic became worse. An anger began to rise.

Her jaw hurt as the shirt was stuffed into her mouth. How stupid could she be? She gave Nurcie everything she could have needed and let her guard down. If she could have laughed at the comment about them being "friends" she would have now.

Morgan tried tugging at the restraints again when she was in the bag. She still couldn’t move. She can't perform her magic either. All she could do was feel her heart beating faster and faster by the minute.

Nurcie hefted Morgan up and started carrying her away and into the middian with little difficultly. She hummed and shot Morgan with more magic before carrying her down into the 'basment' of the collage.

"I'll have to work on your accommodations, I wasn't quite ready to move so soon but Valryn someone found out about Magni. Its safe too by the way. No one can get to it now just like you'll be." She cooed.

She made it to Cage and set Morgan down carefully and let loose the strings to get her out before patting Morgan's head.

"Its cold down here, I'll have to get you some furs.... And give you new clothes. Those enchantments will be combersome for me you know?" She asked jokingly.

"Oh, and you won't be able to use magicka. I used a bunch of poisons on you to nip any of that in the bud. I was surprised you ate it all but that must mean you really like my cooking." She laughed before starting to take off Morgans clothes.

"I'll take good care if these for you. I'm sure they're important in one way or another." She mused as she worked, treatng her like glass as she worked.
