Aela had given Vilkas job after job. The woman still had no patience and most of his jobs were quick and simple. Despite this he still took his time doing it, wanting to stretch out the times between seeing the Huntress for as long as possible.
Vilkas had still managed to see Ariella quite a bit during the day. He would often see her around Whiterun as she performed errands for Kodlak. She was doing mostly administration things, like paying bills or collecting orders; small jobs that were boring but most importantly not dangerous.
By lunch Vilkas had already cleaned out a Skeever’s nest, roughed up some cocky bard and help the Whiterun guards catch a criminal.
He had then stopped keeping track of the jobs he had done.
The sun was a few hours away from setting and Aela had run out of quick jobs to give him. Ariella was still busy helping Kodlak but would occasionally come over and talk with him for a bit.
The second time she went over to him he was sitting outside at a table, enjoying relaxing for a while. She brought a book with her and encouraged him to read it sometime, if not right then.
Vilkas, with nothing better to do started to flip through the pages, another book on the companions. He wondered why Ariella encouraged him to read books on the companions when there was a dragon crisis but chose not to question her good nature.
Vilkas was just getting into the book when Aela ran from around the corner.
“Vilkas, get ready.” Her voice was urgent and he jumped to his feet. “Where’s Ariella?”
“Downstairs with Kodlak.” The Huntress walked into Jorrvaskr and headed straight for Kodlak’s room, Vilkas trailed after her. She opened the door without hesitation.
“We need you now, shield-sister.”
“Why?” Ariella questioned, Vilkas was just as confused. He lingered behind the Huntress waiting for an explanation.
“A dragon is attacking the West Watch Tower and the Companions have the honour of killing it.” Ariella paled. “You two have taken down a dragon before, we need you.”
“Uh, Kodlak needs Ariella here, I’ll come with you.” Vilkas said.
“No. Both of you.” Kodlak was silent and Vilkas looked to him for help, none was given.
“I-I’ll come.” The Breton got up out of her chair, collected her weapons from her room and then they were off to meet the rest of the Companions at the West Watch tower.
