Re: FILL: Vilkas/F!DB: "Lovers' Knot" 11/?

[(Anonymous)]

After breakfast, Skjor calls the inner circle of the Companions together for a meeting.

"Kodlak and I have spoken on this at length," he says, "but we'd like your opinions before we make our decision final."

The room stays silent, but Vilkas can sense the increase of interest in the room, the weight of impending decisions upon them. "Now, don't look so grim," Kodlak says fondly. "We're holding afternoon discussion as a courtesy, but I think you'll agree with us."

Kodlak steeples his fingers. "We've decided," he says, "that we'd like to bring Miri in as a full member of the Companions."

"Not of the inner circle, mind you," Skjor says. "Although that could be discussed, in time. But we've felt that she's shown the dedication to training, the maturity, and made significant enough improvements in all aspects of her fighting that we feel it's time to give her a test of induction."

"Agree," Aela says immediately. "She's got a sharp eye and a good head on her shoulders."

"Agree," Farkas echoes. "She's a hard worker. I like her."

Vilkas opens his mouth to have his say, and then stutters, flushes. Damned Farkas--he's made him unsure of his own words over nothing. "Agree," he says at last. "I think," he adds slowly as he collects his thoughts, "that we've all seen her improve. But she's also kept an eye towards the Companions' needs while she's been here, even when the Jarl has been putting her to work or when she's been fitting extra training in. She finishes every task we give her."

"Then we are all in agreement," Kodlak intones. "Should she pass her induction--Miri will be the newest pup to join our ranks."

"May I ask what the task is?"

Vilkas surprised himself by asking the question, and it seems that he surprised Kodlak too. The man's snow-white eyebrows climb his face momentarily before his expression smoothes into a warm smile. "I'm pleased that you've taken an interest, Vilkas," he says. "We've decided that she'll be venturing into Dustman's Cairn."

"A fragment of Wuuthrad," Farkas breathes. "You really think it'll be in there?"

"Along with a death wish," Aela growls. "Kodlak--"

"--Has made an appropriate choice, to suit her level of skill," Skjor cuts in. "You know as well as I that there will be plenty she faces that will challenge her more than this."

"I don't like it," Vilkas agrees. "She's a terrific archer, which does her next to no good in an enclosed cavern, and her magic is strong, but as far as we know it's raw, untrained. She's gotten better with weaponry, but there's a difference between sparring and relying on it to save her life."

"We've had enough recruit death," Aela adds. "You and Kodlak may think she's ready, but I would prefer to be sure."

"It's a test, not a walk in the park," Skjor says. "And I'm surprised. You two have trained her. I would think you'd have given her more credit--"

"Perhaps," Kodlak cuts in with a smile, "there is something to consider in what the young ones say, Skjor. She must be challenged, certainly." He pauses, face going grave. "However...we must consider that, should the legends be true--she is the only one capable of swallowing a dragon's soul...and thus, she is incremental in the effort in finding the reason behind the dragons' return. We cannot afford to bargain with such a valuable life."

"And," Farkas adds, gentle and solemn, "I agree with Aela. We've seen enough death in the young ranks. Her skills will continue to grow, should she pass."

"Hrm." Skjor puts a hand to his jaw, scratching absently as he frowns. "I can't say I support lowering the bar of the test. However..." He looks up. "Perhaps we could send her in with a partner. Someone to mostly stand by and watch her back, in case what lies within the Cairn is more than we anticipated, and could see her safe return should she fail on this attempt."

"I'll go," Farkas offers. The group turns to him, and he shrugs. "Been itching to get out, anyway. And I haven't gotten the chance to work with her much yet; a little armor work, but that's all. I'd like to see what she can do."

"I'd support it," Aela shrugs. "We go out on partnered or triad missions all the time, day-to-day. No reason we couldn't run testing with a mentor."
