“I’m so tired… ”

Llaara didn’t know the woman well. if she was being honest, she didn’t know her at all, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to help. “Maybe you just need some good food, a nice arm bath and some rest?” Llaara suggested. “You look a little worn out.”

❛ You only got one shot. ❜

It was a tough one. The eaves of the house were high and slick with rain, not to mention the years of grime which built up just from existing in Riften, and there was only a rotting crate to use as a jumping point. A yell from the guards punctured Enid’s warning. Jo’Raya’s muscles stiffened and she took a few soft paces back.

‘This one will take it. The prey will not tell the guards.’

And she was running, sprinting forwards, reaching towards the roof before her feet left the ground. Her tail swung round for balance, claws dug into the wooden beams, scrabbled, found a grip. All her strength concentrated itself into hauling up the rest of her body and dragging herself onto the rooftiles. Once there she spent a second testing her weight against the moss before she was off, disappearing over the top with a flick of her tail.

Enid

Seemingly always angry, Enid grew up prone to violent outbursts and being well known as a general troublemaker among Riften's people. Once she was free from the orphanage, she had a brief stint as a thief and 'mercenary' of sorts before she started making a name for herself among various fighting rings. Nowadays, she splits her time between Riften and the many fighting pits she's come across in her circuit, always searching for the next fight that leads to her next meal.

“ So they’re dead. I’d have liked to have seen that. “

“They had better be dead; they injured my horse! Uncultured highwaymen learned a goddamned lesson today.”

“ So, if I’m gonna die, well, it might as well be driving my sword through the heart of that murderous hag. “

The mer blinked, caught halfway between concern and interest. “Fair enough, I suppose. Can I watch?”

“Do I look like someone who smiles?”

“Um...w-well, no...I suppose not...” Halldis began, face reddening as she spoke. It felt a bit insulting to say such a thing, but of all the times she’d run into Enid, she could not recall ever seeing her smile once. She cleared her throat, “...But...I-I mean, it was a funny joke, wasn’t it? Or...well, I’m not that good at telling them. I probably messed it up...”

[wandererfromthenorth]

‘ you look like shit. ’

Halldis frowned, secretly a little hurt by the bluntness of the woman’s words, although she did not doubt them in the least. She turned away to blow her nose on her handkerchief, then back again, gently wiping at her nose, “Well, I feel like shit so I suppose it’s appropriate.”

❝ I didn’t mean to break his nose. His nose was just in the middle of where I was punching. ❞

"It happens. To be fair, noses are fragile, and they get in the way of face punching.”
