Skyrim: Bliss in bondage [Soru]

[spriter1]

You go to the general store to find that it is actually abundantly stocked, with the shopkeep telling you that because of the place being so remote, not alot of people buy things. He also tells you that because of this, he is also charging more to try and make a living, meaning it's 20 coins a lockpick... But looking around might also reveal a couple of neat things to buy as well.

[Soru]

Felicia frowns a bit at the higher price but she understood that business was not very good all the way out here. She grabs about 20 lockpicks and looks around for anything else that interested her.

[spriter1]

You look through the shop, finding that there is a couple of good things buried inside it. That is when you come across a dagger... And it's a dwarven one to be exact.

[Soru]

"Hmm..." Felicia looks over the dagger, seeing that it would be a good replacement for the steel dagger she still had. She takes the dagger and bring it up to the counter. "I'll take this dagger and the lockpicks, sir." She says to the shopkeeper and takes out her gold pouch.

[spriter1]

The man tells you that it will be 100 for the dagger, which considering his inflated prices is a steal! You quickly hand over the 500 gold, leaving you with pretty much half of your total coin. The man thanks you as you leave the shop, your new dagger now sitting proudly in your hands. When you leave the shop, you get to catch a glimpse of Claire in her hide armour and Savos, who is dressed in more plain robes then his Archmage ones, walking into the tavern. Both of them seem to be smiling and laughing as they walk in.

[Soru]

Felicia pays for the dagger and lockpicks and heads out into Winterhold again. She looks around and sees Claire and Savos heading to the tavern. Deciding that it would be nice to have a drink she heads to the tavern as well to get some mead.

[spriter1]

Heading into the tavern you can see that the place is actually alot more packed them one would imagine, the air being full of laughter and bard songs. You can see Savos and Claire sitting in the corner, talking away and adding to the laughter filling the room. Walking up to the counter, the barkeep actually being pretty wrapped up, to the point where you can only see his deep red eyes for the clothing, actually has a voice that does not match his look, it being full of friendlyness and happiness. "Hello, and welcome to my tavern! What can I get for ya? Just got a shipment of black-briar mead in if you fancy some of that, but we do have more. We also have some food if it is not just your thirst that needs quenched."

[Soru]

Felicia decides to take a seat at the counter and order a Black-Briar mead and some cooked fish to eat. As she waits for her order she looks around at all the people inside.

[spriter1]

The man gives you a nod as he goes downstairs to retrieve that for you. As you wait for the man to come back, you can see that the vibe in the place is pretty positive, with even a table being full of guards eating and talking. You guess that you would probably be like this too if you were in the middle of nowhere, as the tavern seems to be the only thing one can really do out here. You can now here the bard announcing his next song shall be the age of oppression. That's right, Winterhold is a stormcloak run hold, but Windhelm is the only one known to be truely racist and sexist since even though the Nords believe Skyrim belongs to them, only Windhelm think Skyrim should only contain Nords. You see that Claire has actually noticed you and is waving a hand and pointing to a sit beside her, more than likely beckoning you over, with the man not far behind, bringing the food up and saying "That will be 20 coins. I hope you enjoy it, and if there is any problems, don't be afraid to say. This is only a small town, so I hope to keep as many people as possible."

[Soru]

Felicia nods and pays the man for the food and drink. She thanks him before taking her mead and cooked fish over to where Claire and Savos were sitting. She makes small talk with them before she begins to eat.

[spriter1]

You walk over and listen to them talking between each other for a couple of moments, mostly talking about past experiences and memories. They begins to eat away at their food as well, before Savos looks over to Claire.
"So is this your new mistress?"
"Well... She doesn't really like me to call her that, but I still kinda see her that way."
At this point, he turns around to you and extends a hand.
"My sincerest apologies, as I should have introduced myself when I sat down. Savos Aren, Headmaster of the College of Winterhold. May I ask your name?"

[Soru]

Felicia takes his hand and shakes it. "My name is Felicia. I'm here escorting my friend who is now a student at your collage." She said to him. "We met Claire here on the way and she joined up with us."

[spriter1]

"Ah yes, Claire filled me in on that part about her stay with that woman. While I don't condone violence, ironic considering the school I run, I must say I was quite glad to hear what end the lady met."
"Well, have you figured out an answer to my problem yet?"
Savos then turns back around to Claire. "I'm sorry dear, put I cannot think up something. Perhaps it would be better if you let time run it's course and it sort itself out in time. These things usually do, if your stories are anything to go by."
"It's fine, I just wondered if you knew anything about it."
"I would tell you if I knew, but my knowledge is that of magic, not of the problems which you ask."
"Okay, sorry for asking."
"It's fine, and unfortunately I have to leave for now. A school doesn't run itself, but I hope that later on there will be time to meet the three of you together. With that I bid you both adeiu and say it was very nice meeting you both."
With that, Savos gets up from his seat and walks off out of the tavern. The bard has finished playing his song and is asking if anybody would like to make a request as Claire turns around to you. "So, What have you been up to today so far?"

[Soru]

Felicia listens as the two talk while she ate her food and drank her mead. She wonders just what Claire's problem that she was talk to Savos about was.
"Well so far all I did was buy some lockpicks and a new dagger. And now I'm having a meal. How about you? And what were you and Savos talking about?"

[spriter1]

Claire almost chokes on her food when you ask about what they were talking about. "OH! Um... I... I overheard that someone had a problem, and I asked if he knew a solution. Nothing much really. Got any plans today besides what you have already done?"
You can tell that she kinda wants to get off that topic a bit...

[Soru]

Felicia raises a brow at Claire, knowing that she was hiding something. She ignores it for now and continues eating. "Not really. All I really can do is sit around while we wait for Isabella is finish her work. Though I can at least go around freely now without that collar on."

[spriter1]

"I guess the whole collar thing is a plus. I could as well, but... It doesn't feel right to me. Also, didn't Isabella mention that she had a free day today when I said about both of you going with me to see Savos?"
Now that she mentions it, Isabella did mention that...

[Soru]

"She was asleep when I woke up so I decided not to disturb her." Felicia says as she leans back in her chair. "And at least your collar is removable. I had to go find someone to remove it for me. So what about you? Anymore plans for yourself today?"

[spriter1]

"I didn't really plan on doing anything besides talking to Savos and be in yours and Isabella's company. I was also going to see if a mage would remove the spell for me. I would ask Savos, but I don't really want to put him through too much trouble. He is a busy man after all. If I get someone who can do that, I might just add another thing to my list."

[Soru]

Felicia nods and finishes her food and mead. "Well if you can also find someone to take these...things out of me I would appreciate it. Anyways, I'm probably just going to back to the college and stay in my room."
