ANNOUNCEMENTS: UPDATED 12/16/2017
Happy Holidays, fellow Kinkmemers! I have returned and have no reasonable excuse for my absence except LIFE. I will be working on updating the archives. If anyone sees anything amiss, please let me know.
I am also hoping to find another Mod and an Archivist.
The more dedicated people we have in this Meme the less chance of it dying. I admit that being the sole keeper of the Meme is not great for the fandom. If something were to happen to me, for good, this place would go the way of the Fallout Kink Meme. Let's not let that happen! If anyone would be interested in Modding/Archiving, please drop me a line. Thanks! <3
Before the Dawn 3/?
Date: 2013-03-05 03:33 pm (UTC)Waiting a moment to see if Farkas would say anything, when his silence continued, Kodlak spoke, turning back towards Nathalia.
"And how soon were you planning to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning, before dawn, if that's not too soon?"
The last part was directed at Farkas- since he was the one who would be coming with her, she didn't want him unprepared because there hadn't been enough warning.
However, the sun had barely peaked over the horizon by the time she'd arrived on their steps, so surely almost an entire day would be enough time?
The Nord simply nodded once more. "That will be long enough." The fact that they'd likely been given far less warning and been demanded to leave that much faster didn't cross her mind in the slightest. After all, any exploration for any given cavern (at least, when the students were invited along) was planned days in advance.
A soft shiver ran down her spine as he'd finally spoke. Slightly surprised by this reaction, her eyes flicked about a moment more before settling back on the two men. Farkas was looking at her, and she tilted her head to the side, using her hood to obscure whatever expression was currently on her face. Nathalia also didn't take into consideration that it might be strange to keep her hood up- even indoors. It was simply a common practice among the college to keep them up if they were being worn. It could prove to give one the upper hand in battle- if the opponent couldn't predetermine what spell one would cast, (due to the hood obscuring the face, and by extension preventing the reading of lips) then they wouldn't be as prepare to counter it. Split second advantages had made and broken battles, from what the history books had to say on the subject.
"Are you staying at the Bannered Mare?" Her expression took a turn for surprised as to why he would care where she was staying until it dawned on her that he'd, of course, need to know where to find her in the morning.
"Yes, I am."
A second more of silence ensued, before Nathalia awkwardly nodded, her body bobbing in a way that seemed to be half a curtsey. "Thank you again... I have some things I need to do before we go, so I guess I'll leave..."
Though the way out was fairly straightforward, Kodlak escorted her back, and as the doors to Jorrvaskr shut softly behind her, an overwhelming sensation of relief came over her. That wasn't so bad, in hindsight... Though the entire conversation had been a bit stiff, but that was to be expected for a first interaction, right?
Putting the thoughts out from her mind, she wandered between the shops and stalls for a good part of the day, gathering odds and ends that she would need for various things; potions and the like. It wasn't until the sun was setting and the shopkeeps closing up that she headed back to the Mare- having purchased her room for the night that morning before going to the Companions, the mage silently weaved through the crowd, ignoring the call of a drunken man who seemed to not care that she was completely covered, and looked like a troll for all he knew. The warmth of the inn was a welcome contrast from the outside cold, which had taken a bitter turn when the sun sank down.
Once in her room, she stopped for a moment, before locking the door and crawling into bed. Despite the noise, she was quickly asleep, dead to the world.
