skyrimkinkmemeANNOUNCEMENTS: 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
Dagger Lessons (Teldryn Sero/F!Dragonborn) - Part 2
Date: 2013-08-17 03:33 pm (UTC)Struggling to correct her grip again, she hesitated for a split second. “Damn,” she cursed under her breath as she noticed a bright red line of blood on the side of her finger.
She was unaware, or perhaps choosing to ignore, that Teldryn was watching the entire time, probably entertained by her ineptitude. “Have you ever sharpened a blade before?”
Liliana felt the heat in her face return. Focusing on the blade and stone, she kept her head down. “No. I didn’t exactly have the luxury of proper instruction out in the wilderness,” she huffed.
“Here.” Teldryn held his hand out. “You’re not sharpening anything that way.”
Reluctantly Liliana handed over the dagger and the little stone, and Teldryn promptly sat down next to her and began to work, angling the brass colored blade so it glittered in the firelight. Lily looked on with curiosity as he brought the stone across the edges of the blade methodically as if he had done it a thousand times. “You never want to saw back and forth. You might nick the edge and ruin it completely,” he instructed as he continued. “Also pay attention to the angle that the blade is already sharpened, otherwise you’ll just create a dull edge that you’ll need to sharpen again.” He flipped over the blade, and resumed with the same precise strokes.
In just over half the time it usually took her to sharpen the blade, Teldryn already was finished. He tested the edge against his finger before skillfully flipping it pommel–forward to return it. “Not as good as a blacksmith, but much sharper that it’s probably been in a while.”
Lily brought the edge of the blade along the pad of her finger, making the tiniest of cuts on the outer layer of skin. “Thank you.”
“Do you use it often?”
Lily placed the dagger back in its sheath. “Only when someone gets too close or I run out of magicka. I add poison to it since I’m not the best with wielding a blade, and even then it gets harrowing as the poison takes a minute or two to run its course.”
“You should learn how to properly wield it. Any weapon is worth using correctly.”
“No one’s ever taught me how to. My father had little use for blades. He hated them even. And I never was close enough to any soldiers or mercenaries to have them teach me.”
Teldryn gave her a cocky grin, got up, and rolled his shoulders. “Well, then it’s a good thing that you hired Morrowind’s finest swordsman to stay by your side should you ever get in a knife fight.”
Lily took a long breath before asking. While he was very haughty about his talent, she had to admit that it was warranted. From what she saw today, not even many of the Emperor’s legionaries could handle a blade as well as Teldryn could. “Will you teach me?”
She was ready for him to make an excuse about why he could not because of some unspoken rule, or that he would have to charge extra. “That’s what I was getting at,” Teldryn said, offering his hand, “Let’s go.”
