Nerevarine: How did he die?

Mehra Milo: Gods ate his face.

Nerevarine: Mehra, I think you're confused.

Nerevarine: I'm asking about Indoril Nerevar.

Mehra Milo: Gods ate his face.

Nerevarine: Put the Abbot on.

Gilvas Barelo: Hello?

Nerevarine: Abbot, what happened to Indoril Nerevar?

Gilvas Barelo: Gods ate his face. Mehra knows more about it than I do.

A Trip to the Moon

Mehra Milo had feared for a long time that something was about to happen to her, and Caius had shared these worries. The precautions they had been taking borered on the absurd in the end, and yet it had not been enough. When she was suddenly called into the canon offices one morning, she naturally had a bad feeling about it. When she saw that none other than Berel Sala waited for her in there, the doors were already locked and blocked by ordinators. The head ordinator had little to say to her, other than that she had been found out and it was time to make a little trip to the moon. What the accusations were would be a surprise for later.

On the way out, they passed by Adrusu Rothrano, who had been chased out of her office and now stood in the hallway with her head bowed. She briefly lifted her face to look at Milo, who gave her a reassuring smile. She had prepared several letters and hidden them inside her copy of The Pilgrim's Path. One for each possibility that she and Caius had thought out years ago. Adrusu was the one who had been tasked to place the correct one on the dresser.

While Milo was used to quiet surroundings and had never been one to crave company, being put in an isolation cell was not a pleasant experience. While it was spacious, bordering on huge, she could only move about a few hours after each meal. Those were brought in twice a day, along with a hissing torch. Once it went out she had to make sure to be near her bedroll, otherwise it would be hard to find it again. This had gone on for days now and yet she had not been taken to the Hall of Processing yet. Whatever she was accused of, the Grand Inquisitor apparently did not rely too much on whatever information they hoped to gain from her.

She had expected that it would be Caius who ultimately broke her out of her prison, though in retrospect she realized that this had been silly of her. Instead, it was the new agent who walked in through the door with the scrolls she had asked for. Why were they wearing Caius's clothes? Many questions were spinning around in her head, but they had to wait until later, when they were safe in Holamayan.

I've been thinking a lot about Caius Cosades and Mehra Milo these days and I love how I'm always learning new things when I get fixated on something.

I wasn't even aware that Mehra is not a name but a title that means priest. Knowing this it makes sense that her room is just called "Milo's quarters".

It is obvious that Caius is not the old man with a skooma problem to her. Probably because she got to know him well before he assumed this identy. His main public identity seems to be that of a monk of Akatosh and it wouldn't surprise me if this is how he initially presented himself to her. Maybe he visited the Library of Vivec during his first years on Vvardenfell as he gathered initial information.

Milo seems to know Caius very well in some ways, but I think that he has given her a curated version of himself. I'm also getting the vibe that he has charmed her into becoming the invaluable informant that she is by mirroring her.

"Caius is a dear friend. Like me, he admires the best traditions of the Temple, charity for the poor, education for the ignorant, protection for the weak. He is a Westerner, but he has come to love our land and our people. But like me, he distrusts the arbitrary power of the Ordinators, and like the Dissident priests, he suspects the Temple is hiding something."

I don't doubt that he genuinely cares a lot about her, but it seems a bit to me like he's gotten information out of her by pretending to always agree and emphasize how similar they are. Or maybe this is just Milo overidentifying with him. Possibly a bit of both.

When Caius is recalled to the Imperial City he thinks that he will return some day, even if it will take some time. Milo seems to be quite upset and confused by the news, as she had counted on that he would support their cause. Ultimately Caius does return to Morrowind, but apparently he is placed in Kragenmoor. Whether or not he went back to Vvardenfell is unknown.

I realized only recently how deep the relationship between Caius Cosades and Mehra Milo seems to be. Mehra seems to know him better than any other and Caius is extra protective of her. For once there was already a relationship tag and I'm glad that the story above exists. There should be more.

Morrowind is funny because the most pleasant reliable characters in the game are:

A woman who belittles you constantly

A drug addict who is also your parole officer

Harvey Weinstein but he’s honest about it

A wizard who married his own daughters/clones who he created in an attempt to cure magical lupus

And Mehra Milo

Alt love interest: Josh and the lovely ginger Mehra Milo

-Hlas anon again

Hello! Sorry it's been a bit, I've been sick with a migraine, so I'm just getting to things :3

Ah, Josh and Mehra Milo. In this case, I've actually written the two meeting each other in Chapter Eleven of Sleepers Awake. Josh gets a feeling after having Cosades talk his ear off in Chapter Eight about it that Milo and Cosades might have a bit of a thing going on. Now Josh has a wandering eye at the best of times but he doesn't interfere with that sort of thing, and he's particularly cautious of eating from his warden's trough, given how close he is to execution in the first place.

She was the last errand on Joshi's list of "People to talk to about shit" that Cosades gave him and he was more looking forward to the next job he was going to run in a Dwemeri ruin. So, naturally, Josh cut corners and rushed the job.

When they first met in the Library of Vivec, it was after Josh was pushing a particular Ordinator's buttons:

“Sera Aralen, could you unhand my guest, please!” The woman standing before him was slight of build and looked to be about his mother’s age, maybe a little older. She wore a robe made of velvet, the fabric dyed a royal blue and lined with golden embroidery. It was a grand-looking garment, though not the sort he’d have seen Maera wearing, it was gaudy and shapeless, with a high neckline. Extravagant and entirely too much to look at. It was probably the sort of thing you’d see on a high-ranking priestess he supposed. He thought the garment was ugly, regardless. He noted the woman’s hair matched the colour of her eyes, a pretty, rich copper, just as that old sugar tooth described. She was pretty, he supposed, though she seemed a little uptight for him to feel comfortable expressing that directly. Besides, he figured there was something between Cosades and this particular informant. He wasn’t about to step in that… not if he wanted to keep his head attached to his neck. The Ordinator, Aralen, quickly let go of his arm as the priestess entered the alcove and scampered back to his position in the corner. The quickness of the mer’s movements reminded him of an insect who was suddenly exposed to the light of the sun. His armour gleamed like the iridescent shell of a beetle in summer. He smirked at the priestess as he threw his good arm over his knee, “Mehra Milo I assume?”

He did leave this encounter fairly neutrally in his opinion, though not in Cosades'. Josh's way of conducting himself did eventually move the Ordiantor's eye towards Milo and meant that he had to be more cautious in her messages. Later on in the fic I have them running into each other whilst Josh is training with the Morag Tong. He comes to her aid when she goes missing not long after.

The two are very much platonic until the end (except for one very drunk night after arriving at Holamayan), though Milo's tune does change when it comes out just what happened to Caius Cosades. Though by then Josh already has what he came to the monastery for and is halfway to the ashlands with three stolen tomes in hand.
