Drystan looked at the blade closely.
"What're you looking at?" said Haraldyr obstinately.
"Looks Daedric." said Drystan apathetically. "Not the blade, but the entity inside seems so."
He handed Haraldyr back to Noxa. "I would take great care with this. Luckily it can't seem to really do much inside the blade other than talk. So if it tells you to do something, let me know. Otherwise, it's best that you keep it with you. You don't want something like thing falling into the wrong hands."

"Hah! Told you so." Yu said, posing triumphantly. "There is a good reason for one of the dark princes to be trapped in there, or I'm an elf." He paused for dramatic effect, looked around, checked his body with some small pats and said, "Hey, what do you know? I didn't grow pointy ears or a large case of pretentious know-it-all-ism!" He bowed slightly to Sophia, "After you, squirrel." The Argonian said, mirth still coloring his voice. Dinner smelled delicious, and the Yuan-Ta was ready for some meat.

"Actually, I'm starting to feel just slightly peckish for some roast lizard."
"The sooner we've set this madness straight the better, the deadra do not belong here, we should set it loose then banish it back to its realm, and NOT keep it around like some pet."

“What’s a Daedruc?” the farm girl asked, massaging the back of her neck with her left hand – an obvious sign of tiredness as it can also be seen on her alluring face.

Noxa stepped back as though the thing would burn her, and only took it with extreme reluctance when it became clear that Drystan was perfectly happy to stand there holding it out all night if need be. She touched it as little as possible and buried it at the very bottom of her bag.
“What’s a Daedruc?”
Noxa answered as she accompanied the rest to dinner. "The Daedra are evil forces from Oblivion that corrupt men to their own ends. The grace of Akatosh keeps most of them out, but some people find ways to let them in." This was an abridged version of what her local priest taught; Noxa hoped she'd gotten the essentials correct.

- As long as you pay Drystan.- Dar'Shenn said.- And I won't take any bull lightly. Just because Elsweyr is under the leash of the dominion, doesn't mean that all of us are serfs of the thalmor.- He spat on the ground. He then smelled something very tasty.- So, are we going to stand here, or are you going to invite me in?

Sophia heard a new word – Akatosh. She would want to know more about it but can’t wait to utter her premise that formed in her mind upon hearing the Imperial's words. “If Daedra are evil then that means, ‘the dagger’," she said, her eyes widened in surprise and were followed by a gasp, “is EVIL!”.
The farm girl looked at Noxa’s bag from the corner of her eyes and slowly moved away from it, thinking that it might do something wicked against her.

Haraldyr cried out from the bottom of the bag, "Did you really have to introduce me to the elf?! This is discrimination at its worst! I may be not of this world, but that does not mean that I am evil! And can you please place me back on your hip, my most lovely lady?"
Drystan chuckled and said, "The dagger can't do anything now. Don't be so worried. Just be careful."
Thorald came out of the house and saw the group. "Ah! Just in time! The feast is just about to begin! And who is this?"
"A newcomer. He shall be joining us as well." replied Drystan.
"Well come on in! We have more than enough food!"

"You're mortal too, pointy ears." Yu muttered as he began walking into the house. "Come all, we don't want things to get cold while we talk out here!" The argonian rubbed his hands together gleefully and said, "Sophia, is would be an honor to eat with you," referencing her prior offer.

The young mage was never trustful. Heeding Noxa’s explanation, the idea that ‘the dagger’ being evil got fixed in her mind but after hearing Drystan’s assurance, she dropped the belief. She trusted him. She did not know why but she just felt he can be trusted. Maybe it was because the elf-like creature saved her a couple of times, she thought.
Sophia turned to Yu, motioning him to sit beside her when she saw the Khajiit being introduced by their employer to the host. “Dar’Shenn!” she said excitedly, placing her palms on her lips in surprise, “I’m glad you came!”
The farm girl suddenly forgot about the lizard and instead asked the feline creature to sit next to her. She was really happy the Khajiit took note of her advice. She found the new friend interesting and wanted to know more about him.

Yu rolled his eyes as he watched Sophia sit next to Dar'Shen. Maybe she can scratch him behind the ears too. The argonian thought to himself. He waited for Noxa to be seated and took the spot next to her instead, assuming that Sophia wouldn't honestly care where he was in spite of asking if he would dine with her.
"So Noxa, now that we are in town what will you need to forge a suit of scale armor?" He needed to catch up with her on that sometime, "And can I help in any way monetarily, with supplies, or just labor?"

Avulstein heard Yu. "Our armory has a set of scale mail that may fit you. It's a bit old and needs some repair and adjustments, but Eorlund made it a decade or so ago so it should still be of great use. Accept it as a gift!"
He gestured to a servant, who ran down a hall.
The meal consisted of roast mammoth snout, venison, potatoes, tomatoes, leeks, carrots, and all sorts of other foods. All was seasoned expertly and the guests dug eagerly into it. Morn in particular was ferocious when it came to his meat. Drystan did not sit at the table. He wasn't even in the house. After talking to Thorald for a minute about some logistics, he exited the house and stepped into another dark alleyway out of sight.
The servant returned with the armor. As Avulstein said, it was old and dusty, but its fine craftsmanship was clearly evident. There was a bit of rust here and there, perhaps a torn strap or a loose bolt, but the armor itself held together very well.

The young Nord certainly forgot about the Argonian but she also forgot about the Khajiit when the mansion’s attendants served the meal. “Whoa! There’s so much food!” she said in amazement, her eyes glistening removing the tired look on her face. “We don’t have this much at the farm. Usually, one or two are enough and sometimes we have the same kind for the whole year,” she explained as she looked at each dish curiously but delightfully.
Sophia noticed that Drystan was not going to eat with them so she followed him with her eyes. “Where is he going?” she asked while munching on her preferred choice of dish.

((This is going to be SO much fun.  ))
“If Daedra are evil then that means, ‘the dagger’, is EVIL!”
Noxa just nodded unhappily.
"Did you really have to introduce me to the elf?! This is discrimination at its worst! I may be not of this world, but that does not mean that I am evil! And can you please place me back on your hip, my most lovely lady?"
Noxa, paling slightly, pretended not to hear. She didn’t believe a word of it, of course; why would Akatosh work so hard to keep the Daedra out of the world if they weren’t evil?
"The dagger can't do anything now. Don't be so worried. Just be careful."
Noxa nodded, still not looking happy. “But what do I do with it?”
((At dinner…))
"So Noxa, now that we are in town what will you need to forge a suit of scale armor? And can I help in any way monetarily, with supplies, or just labor?"
"Our armory has a set of scale mail that may fit you. It's a bit old and needs some repair and adjustments, but Eorlund made it a decade or so ago so it should still be of great use. Accept it as a gift!"
Noxa opened her mouth to answer Yu and shut it just as quickly. There was no way she could compete with the skill of an experienced and celebrated smith like Eorlund Gray-Mane!
“In that case, I can adjust it without difficulty. Let me look it over after dinner and I’ll see what repairs need to be done, then we can buy the supplies tomorrow morning before we leave.” Coming from the famed Eorlund she expected there wouldn’t be much; maybe some new straps and whatever adjustments needed to be made for Yu’s tail.

Dar'Shenn ate without saying much. After he sated his appetite for food he filled his tankard full of mead.
- What is our destination for the morrow?- He asked. Although Drystan briefly explained to him the specifics of the job, Dar'Shenn still had some unanswered questions.

Nobody responded to her question and she felt left out. But she also thought everybody was really taking the banquet seriously because they haven’t had eaten a nice meal for days. So what should anyone expect, she thought. She then continued eating, almost trying out every meal she can see on the table, when finally she heard someone spoke.
”What is our destination for the morrow?”
To her dismay, it wasn’t the answer she was waiting for but rather another question. Sophia stopped her food-tasting spree and began to think. After a moment, she realized that she has been with the group for days and still didn’t know what they are going to do.
“I don’t know,” she said with curled eyebrows, digging through the cobwebs of her memory hoping to find an answer. “Drystan just told me he needs somebody with skills that he can use, but I don’t know where we are going or why he needs people with skills.”

Morn looked up from his meat for a moment and said after a small belch, "I believe he has planned for us to go towards the Reach, to Markarth. From there, I'm not quite so sure."

I've heard that the city is quite beautiful to behold- Dar'Shenn said- Also, I heard that there are savages attacking people at random. The caravan I was travelling with said they're heading in that direction. few of the folk warned them about these "forsworn" as they call themselves. What are they exactly?- Dar'Shenn asked.- seems pretty foolish just pounce out and kill some folk, then leave all the loot behind.
