“You know, I’m surprised you were able to find us. Not many outsiders know how to get here.” The voice sounded further away, but still in the same room, like when he first woke up.
“Wasn’t so difficult,” Vilkas lied, “besides, I’m in a hurry. I need to speak with Thales as soon as possible.”
“Well, like I said lad, she’s not here. And I can’t tell you where she, at least not unless she allows me to. And if I remember correctly, you made it clear she was not to see you again.”
The Companion didn’t respond, fighting with himself internally whether he should tell the thief the real reason behind his quest to find Thales.
“That’s none of your concern—”
“I beg to differ. Anything regarding my Guild Master is very much my concern.”
“Guild Master?” The confusion was apparent in his tone. He knows Thales has been keeping plenty of secrets from him, he can feel it. “Since when is she your Guild Master?”
Vilkas could hear soft shuffling of feet, almost as if the thief were pacing and wondering whether he should answer the question or not. It made his stomach sink with worry. The reason Thales didn’t accept the position as Harbinger had been these people, the redhead specifically. And as much as he was blinded by fury from her rejection, it was planting in him a seed of sadness to know she had been more involved in the thievery than she let on.
“Months.”
The urge to scream at him surged from within, but it went away as fast as it came. He wants to ask why would they let a nineteen year old lead an organization, what kind of dangerous things has she been through to manage it, but he can’t. And he won’t under the pretense of not being a hypocrite.
This man was being more honest with him than Thales herself has been for the whole time they’ve known each other.
Inside Vilkas' hazy thoughts, there didn't seem to be another option other than to be just as honest with the man.

This is a short chapter, but incredibly meaningful to the plot lines of Thales' relationship with Vilkas. :) Sorry for the long wait! Next time I'll have for you guys a picture of Thales so y'all can see her for the first time! AND Next chapter is the awaited meeting between Thales and Ulfric. See you then! :)
