Thank you everyone who has been leaving reviews. You guys made my day, so here is a bonus chapter for the night. I'll be posting more tomorrow for you. I hope I got all the mistakes, but please try and ignore them if I didn't.
Melina walked into her house sore and tired. Grabbing the Elder scroll alone hadn’t been the brightest ideas. She was regretting it now, every muscle screamed at her, the cut on her leg burned. The stab wound in her arm, she really didn’t want to think about. So her plan now was to stay home for a bit and then head to the throat of the world.
“My Thane, you’re home earlier than expected,” Lydia said with a huge grin. Her grin faded as she notice her Thane’s limp and the crusted blood on her arm. “My Thane?” Lydia murmured worriedly ushering her to a chair. “I’ll get a healer.”
“And find some sweetrolls while you are out,” Melina called after her. She couldn't get enough of them lately. It was something new for her, usually she could go months without them, but now, she was lucky to last a day.
“Jarl Balgruuf left you some, you’ll find them in your room with all the other stuff,” Lydia called back with a sly grin. She was so tempted to run back in the house and look over her Thane’s shoulder to see what the Jarl had kept dropping off. She chuckled as she rushed to the temple, praying her Thane didn’t move from her spot before she got back there. She wanted to see her Thane’s expression when she saw the mound of packages waiting for her on her bed.
For two weeks the Jarl never missed a day to drop something off for her. Usually it was packages, but the last one had been sweetrolls. She had been tempted to take one of them, but didn’t. Her grin slipped when she saw the Jarl walking down the path. She knew there was no way to avoid him, he had already spotted her. “Is she back yet?” Balgruuf asked impatiently.
“She just returned,” she answered, and debated whether to inform him that Melina was injured. With a sigh she opened her mouth to inform the Jarl, but snapped closed as she watched his retreating back rushing towards Breezehome. She shook her head and wasn’t as enthused to head back to the house so quickly as she had planned.
