Brynjolf/F!DB, "Peace" [2.2/?]
Date: 2012-11-17 08:22 am (UTC)“You gotta problem with that mead o’ yours, Bryn?” Delvin says as he takes the seat on Brynjolf’s right.
“It’s not the mead I have a problem with,” he responds, not even bothering to hide the bitterness and resentment.
“Ah, so it’s about our boss, then, eh?” His smirk is sly and only somewhat vindictive as he says it.
Brynjolf just takes a sip of his mead.
Delvin waves Vekel over for a drink, telling the glum Nord, “Come on then, get it all off your chest. You’re bad company when you get pissy about somethin’.”
“Why in Oblivion would she apologize, and then just leave like that, just – just ignore me on her way out?” He took a long swig of his mead, downing the contents swiftly. “She’s been acting real odd recently, too. Leaving for long stretches of time, coming back looking like she’s been fighting hordes of Daedra.”
“From what I understand, that can’t be too far off,” Delvin supplies.
Brynjolf ignores him. He’d rather not think about Pax running around Skyrim slaying Dremora. “And then, when we argued yesterday, I’ve never seen her angry since I met her, Delvin, but she was pissed. She told me to respect her, like I was beneath her or something. Then, out of nowhere, she called herself a dovah. I don’t know what she means by that. Does she even know what dovah means?”
Delvin takes a sip from his tankard, apparently thinking. “She must. She wouldn’t’a used it if she hadn’t.”
“Something’s going on with her, I’m telling you, Delvin,” he says it quietly, a harsh, conspiratorial whisper. “She’s keeping something from us.”
“‘aven’t you looked around yourself, Bryn? We’re the Thieves Guild. It’s commonplace for our lot to keep secrets. Sapphire still insists on keeping us in the dark about her real name.”
“This is different.” Brynjolf swings his head to his right, finally looking at Delvin. “And I intend to get to the bottom of it.”
Delvin sighs. He knows better than to discourage a Nord on a mission, but Brynjolf imagines he’s not exactly comfortable plotting against the Guild Master’s wishes.
“Maybe her chest’ll have some answers….” Standing, Brynjolf abandons his drink in order to make his way over to the Cistern, Delvin on his heels.
Brynjolf/F!DB, "Peace" [2.3/?]
Date: 2012-11-17 08:23 am (UTC)The thought briefly crosses his mind as he pushes the door to the Cistern open and walks the short distance to their Guild Master’s bed that it might be a tad inappropriate for him to be going through his leader’s things, but it is quickly scrapped in favor of searching his pockets for the hidden seam he keeps his lockpicks in. Brynjolf kneels down and makes quick work of the chest set next to Pax’s bed.
“Bryn, think about this. What would she be keeping from us? It can’t be anythin’ too important.”
“Better safe than sorry,” he says, throwing the lid open. He and Delvin lean over the rim, peering at the contents. There’s a moment of silence where they just look, before Delvin whistles and Brynjolf lets his hands rummage through.
Dragon scales and bones, first off. They’re weighty, but he’s careful to set them down gently. Plenty of books, the majority of which are fairly rare – including some book titled Annals of the Dragonguard – and a stock of potions that could last the whole of the Guild several months. Scattered around are septims and various gemstones, stolen jewelry and ingots. His eyes catch on a particularly well-kept book under a pile of scales and gold and, acting on instinct, he fishes it out. The book is large and weighty, with a leather-bound cover that belongs to most journals. When he flips it open, he finds that the book is, in fact, written in Pax’s handwriting. “Her journal,” he thinks aloud, leafing through what must be hundreds, maybe even thousands, of pages. “What’s this? ‘Arngeir knew the name of the Shout, "Dragonrend", but could not teach it to me. However, he has agreed to show me the way to reach Paarthurnax, the Greybeards' leader, who lives at the top of the Throat of the World. Arngeir says that Paarthurnax is the only one who may know this Dragonrend Shout.’ Delvin, you don’t think she’s…?”
“She can’t be,” Delvin responds, rubbing at the stubble on his chin. “From what I’ve heard, the Dragonborn’s some girl by the name Dominique. Maybe she’s an admirer? A fellow student with the Greybeards?”
Brynjolf snaps the journal shut, tossing it carelessly back into the chest and slamming the lid down. “I doubt that.” He stands. “How long ago did the lass leave?”
“Can’t have been more than an ‘alf hour.” Brynjolf feels Delvin’s leer of suspicion on his back as he walks over to the ladder leading up to the graveyard. He hears the old Imperial call after him, “Ay! Where’re you goin’?”
Whether Delvin hears him or not as he goes hardly matters. “The Throat of the World!”
