The Undertaker Travels

As a Priestess of Arkay and Mage of the College, it is my duty and obligation to root out necromancers and end their lives, how I do so is none of your business. || Telasie Banthur || 224 || TES RP Blog

Telasie grimaced again and sighed. “I should not have snapped.” She admitted and shook her head. “I’ve learned not to ask questions.”

“I cannot blame you for your reaction. I mention the very thing you hunt and treated it like a joke.” he bowed his head a little to her. Her reaction was telling to him; he wasn’t sure what else he expected. “There’s nothing wrong with questions.”

[priestessofarkay-blog]

“There is much wrong with questions.” She corrected in a hushed tone. “Questions lead to answers, answers that tell truths. Truths? Honesty is one of life’s greatest evils.” After a moment, Telasie apologized again. “Don’t listen to me. I’m old and haggard.”

[golgarispyvasta]

He reached out and placed his hand on her back lightly,”Honesty is only an evil depends on the truth. Even when it is a cruel truth, is it not better to know, than to be kept in the dark and lied to?

[priestessofarkay-blog]

"It is better to be lied to sometimes." She confirmed, now with a borderline panicked face. Her thin body tensed considerably and she started shaking her head. "Lies can provide structure that is necessary to function."

"I'll be your token grey elf friend if you give me a job in your Hall of the Dead. Also I worked for your grandfather."

“It isn’t me you need to talk to for that. Speak to Helgrid; she is the one to go to for this application.”

[priestessofarkay-blog]

Telasie straightened up as if she was being respectful towards him, but made a face that said otherwise. She made some sort of saluting gesture. “Boy, I was in this city before you, by two human generations. I know how to act in Windhelm, in whatever the Dunmeri Quarter is called this century.”

[taloswatchoveryou]

“Good. Then I expect you to be well-aware of the laws, as well,” the Jarl coldly responded. He was not fond of being called boy, no matter how much older the elf was. Yet he did not make mention of it, for emphasising how he was not a boy would be a boy’s response. “Act accordingly, and I gladly welcome you to my city.”

[priestessofarkay-blog]

A sarastic, but amused grin was given. “Aye.” She quipped, obviously satisfied with the possibility of having gotten under his skin. While normally, Telasie would try to burn any human who talked to her so disrespectfully, it only served to make her cackle now. She made an exit to reclaim her job at the Hall of the Dead. Windhelm had not been her home in ages.

When in Markarth (Thongvor + Telasie)

[priestessofarkay-blog]

The decorations made her smirk, as she knew it was an intentional mockery. No elf was that dumb, and traditionally, at Thalmor gathering, it was usually decorated with remnants of silk and the fur of lions, numerous banners. But this? This had elements of the Reach, right down to the placement of candles. 

Telasie had no reservations about going to such a party as she was no human, and not at risk of the Thalmor discovering her Talos worship, and even if they did… What could they do? She had hid numerous bodies for them on several occasions. And of course, she was the best at it, and had nothing to lose, only gain. Therefore, she made a more valuable asset than even the most bloodthirsty killer. 

Stricken from her thoughts by Thongvor’s stiff shuffle to face away from Ondolemar. She grinned again and eyed him. “Oh, those?” Her attention was drawn by a cute bosmer serving small food items on a silver platter. Her eyes lingered for a moment too long before remembering that Thongvor had asked something. She shook her head a tiny bit and glanced at them to identify them. 

“Ginuns.” She quipped, glancing at the Nord rather distastefully. “They’re somewhat like stuffed apples, a children’s treat, though instead of apples, it’s a blend of fruits, local to the Isles or Cyrodiil no doubt, stuffed inside of a lime’s skin.” She explained, plucking one and offering it to Thongvor. “It’s rude not to try it.”

[thongvor-blog-deactivated202009]

Wrong comment. Telasie’s description didn’t sound bad after all, but the thought of being deliberately, spitefully rude was too appealing to pass up. 

“’Ginuns’? What kind of a name is that?” He glowered at the morsel in her hand—and it was a morsel, barely enough to get a taste off, good gods, what was a man supposed to eat for his dinner?—and said, “You eat it, then, since your manners are so fine. But I think it’s typical of that bunch to offer us children’s treats.” He pretended to be looking around for something. “I don’t see any ‘children’ here. Where is the wine and meat already?”

As soon as he said it, he knew that alcohol in particular needed to happen immediately. Drink was the only thing that would make the evening tolerable. Getting totally destroyed on the party-wine was ill-advised, of course. But a mild buzz to take the edge off, there couldn’t be anything wrong with that.

[priestessofarkay-blog]

"I thought I came as your token grey skin, not your babysitter." She hissed quietly and pinched the inside of his arm tightly. "Take a bite, and I'll get you wine. I swear to Arkay, Kyne and Talos, if you misbehave and these gods damned snarky Thalmor have to stay just another fortnight I will make your life truly awful." She threatened, accidentally revealing the shared hatred, but not bothering to hide it after it was whispered.

Should she be talking like that to one of the most influential men in the entire Reach, if not Skyrim? Probably not. But Telasie had always been bitterly rude to everyone, and as a result, gotten quite used to running away.

She took a deep breath and smoothed back her hair. Her serpentine features flashed with anger only a second more before she managed to calm herself completely. She took a bite of the Ginun and glanced around.

"This is the... Opening-meal. In Breton cultures, there are four parts of a meal. The opener is small food, but usually baked goods and sweets. There is a second course of 'real' foods, containing meat and grain foods. The third is usually some sort of light food and the fourth part is alcohol." She explained and glanced down at Thongvor. "So if they are doing that, you can pull the sword out of your ass and wait until the second section is served."

thongvor:

“Elf, I’m warning you, don’t go there—” Realisation broke over him mid-sentence, and he trailed off. He blinked at her, almost puzzled. “Wait. You’re trying to make me angry. You think it’s funny, is that it?” 

But just as quickly his temper flared again, because the idea of being used as entertainment by anyone, especially an elf, was galling. “Or is it a ‘thing’ with you? What, you get bored of all those corpses you hang around?”

Telasie grinned mirthfully. “Oh, gods no. Why on Earth would I do that? Not at all because you look slightly attractive with that pissed off scowl.” She cooed and jabbed her bony elbow in his arm before hissing at the slight pinch and rubbing her skin where she had hit the armor. 

Hm. If I had a septim… He watched her rubbing her elbow, making no effort to feign concern. Still, sincere or not, her words did calm him a little. Better to know what he was dealing with, after all.

“You looking for a man to buy you jewelry or spellbooks or skulls or something? Because I’m not averse to those kind of arrangements, but you haven’t made a great case for yourself.”

[priestessofarkay-blog]

"Your words, not mine. And I'm afraid that those sort of years are about 200 behind me." She drawled, not even amused anymore, just looking for company. Spending several days down with no living interaction had affects on people. Telasie's slightly cataract eyes narrowed and her scarred lips pulled back in a sneer but soon developed into an unpredictable grin.

"And here I thought you loved my company." She into had to half feign the offense. Today she was oddly emotional, but the foreign feeling to her merely caused her to insult him and act out, for some sort of interaction. "Oh, fine, fine. I suppose I'll just go talk to those cannibals across the river. I'm sure they'd love and try to befriend anyone with access to dead bodies." She joked.

I like how Riften is supposed to be the hive of scum and villainy but literally no other city is as bad as markarth

[fledgling-witch]

I tried to help an old man complete his research and just barely stopped the entire city from getting overrun with falmer

And almost everyone who isn’t a Forsworn daedra-worshipping cannibalistic rebel is a daedric-worshipping cannibal cultist

Seriously, Oblivion take Markarth

imagine person a of your otp switching the sugar out with salt before person b is awake. person b makes their coffee before so much as glancing in person a’s general direction, as usual, and dumps a butt load of “sugar” into their coffee before drinking it. person a is fighting back laughter and tears until they realize person b is giving them a death glare while they gulp down their entire 16 oz. cup of salty coffee without skipping a beat because they are the alpha and what is weakness.

“Who? I? Yes, of course.” The spirit said awkwardly, wondering how Telasie would speak.

m!a: possessed by a dead mans ghost for 3 days

Telasie snapped out of bed, looking around quickly before feelings at her face and jerking her hand away. A deep sigh escaped her. "Just for a while, Elf." The possessed dinner spoke, surprised by the rough and hoarseness of its own voice.

[golgarispyvasta]

“Perhaps it is. What if it was something dangerous; scary even.” he smirked and elbowed her back. “What if I was a necromancer for example?”

[priestessofarkay-blog]

“Well, I would have a choice.” She said, now edging towards uncomfortable, and itching to grab her dagger. “I could either ignore what you said… or, perhaps subdue you, and burn you alive.” She said rather vulgarly. “See, that would be a very bad position for me. I would prefer you not say something so blasphemous.” 

[golgarispyvasta]

“I apologize at my poor joke. It was the worst ‘secret’ I could think of.” he bowed his head “The only secret I could think of that I’m hiding from you is my origin, but even that is a secret to me.”

[priestessofarkay-blog]

Telasie grimaced again and sighed. "I should not have snapped." She admitted and shook her head. "I've learned not to ask questions."
