“I think I made him cry.”

[Prompt]

“I think you did too,” the Dunmer replied, his tone one of awe and admiration. The burly Nord had given Dram nothing but trouble since he had come to Riften, and yet here he was, running off with his tail tucked between his legs, leaving a smug womer half his height in his wake.

“Do you plan on returning his balls to him?” Dram asked absentmindedly, before realizing how crude that likely sounded. Face growing hot, he stumbled over his own tongue for a moment before attempting to recover. 

“I mean... how did you get him to back down so fast?”

[bedlamdram]

“What shit is this?”

[Prompt]

Dram glanced over at the voice, before furrowing his brows slightly and shrugging. “Depends on what shit you mean specifically."

“I’m going to go out on a limb and say we’re not going to solve this problem by bleeding on it.”

[Prompt]

“No, no, that’d be bad,” Tommy agreed, clutching a hand to his bleeding wound. He made sure to keep ample space between himself and the stranger, not wanting his blood to wind up on their person by accident.

“Should keep moving,” he suggested, nodding towards the direction they were headed. “If there’s more in the woods, they’ll come lookin’ when their buddies don’t show.”

“He fought like he lived… Full of spears.”

[Prompt]

It must have been the adrenaline of still being alive that pulled the laugh from the Dunmer’s throat. His eyes were still stuck on the man harpooned to the wall. 

“We should go.”

[lifesadogfight]

“That’s the cheesiest pickup line I’ve ever heard.”

[Prompt]

The Breton snorted and shook his head, a small smile crossing his face. “Always seemed to work for my brother,” he said, before shaking his head again. “Well, no, I guess it didn’t really. But it usually made the people he used it on laugh.”

“Oh…you have beautiful hair,” Halldis offered a small, apologetic smile, feeling somewhat foolish for having said anything at all, “I-It’s just such a lovely color…and curls so nicely...and there’s so much of it. It looks so soft too...”

[lifesadogfight]

“That’s the last of them.” [From Indi!]

[Prompt]

“You sure?” Tommy asked, before glancing at the sides of the roads, searching for any more crates, barrels, or bandits. The Khajiit stood near their caravan, still a bit shaken by the sudden attack, but all were fine save for a few scrapes here or there. 

“Looks like we got ‘em all,” the Breton called to the caravaners, and offered them a small smile, including the Bosmer who had assisted him. Once the Khajiit continued on their way down the road, he turned to the unknown womer and offered her a bright smile.

“Thanks for the help,” he said, before turning to look at the few corpses that littered the ground around them. “I should move these off the road...”
