this one is kinda dumb ok one of my OCs (Del) is a thief and she thought she knew all about locks and one night found a kid had broken into her cellar. he didn't know who she was, either. instead of kicking him out Del started training him because "if you want to do it, at least let me show you how" 4 years later they live together because she sort of adopted him
that is GOOD STUFF though omg I love it!!! Best way to adopt a child, teach them to steal better
My OC Ralen used to be a rich af slaver in House Dres, but after slavery was abolished he kinda just did other business, but then after Red Year he got so messed up and down low that by Skyrim times he ended up living in a really shitty place in the Grey Quarter in Skyrim (talk about gaining some humility) and one time while traveling back to Windhelm from doing business in Riften, he found this Nord/Imperial kid named Trenonymous who was hiding from the Thalmor (who murdered his parents for being Talos Worshippers) and Ralen- this rude af always-frowning scary looking Dunmer with scars who grew up hating humans, was like “Shit, I can’t just leave this kid out here, guess he’s my son now” and it’s a great lesson for him of “Don’t be a racist prick” (he still kinda is tho)
