(I hope we are. It was my intention to get the vibe back from the beginning :P)

Kay awoke after a few hours. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, looking around the house. Dacian was still asleep beside her, and Dvorak was on the floor dozing.

I ain't a good person... Kay thought, a sad look on her face. ''I shouldn't be here in this city. What if someone recognnises me? ''

''Still, even bad people need to eat. I'll go get them some food from the Markets. If I hide my hair, and don't look anyone in the eyes, I'll be fine. ''

Kay carefully sat up, so as not to disturb Dacian. She slowly slid off the foot of the bed and crept over Dvorak. Before leaving the house, she tied her hair up and stuffed it into her hood so that it was reasonably well hidden.

''Stupid hair. Out of all the colours the gods had to choose from, why give me Green!? It's so annoying...''

With a disgruntled sigh, Kay slowly opened the door and stepped out into the glaring sunlight, looking around as she gave her eyes time to adjust.

''11 years since I was last here. The place still looks the same...''

The Imperial instinctively followed the path from the Drunken Huntsman and wandered over to the Marketplace. Still the same old stalls with the same old people touting their wares. She looked to her left, seeing the Gildergreen tree in all its glory just a short walk up the steps. Kay tore her gaze away after a few minutes, staring at the door to the Bannered Mare.

''Ugh, this place. I wonder if everyone is talking about how Dacian and I aren't staying there. It wouldn't surprise me at all. Still, I hope everyones alright. ''

Kay sighed again, turning from the Mare and absently wandering over to one of the stalls, selling meat. It was, ran by the same Bosmer she remembered from before. Only, he'd grown a beard which looked, quite frankly, ridiculous.

"Tired of bread and stew? Had enough of fish and fowl? Treat yourself andyour kin to a choice cut of steak, or a tender rack of ribs!"

Still the same old tagline as well, I hear.

"I'll...take the freshest venison you have..." Kay said in a low voice, looking at the meat intensively.

"Sure thing, Madam! Here, caught fresh this morning!"

"How much?" Kay whispered, making sure to look away as she rummaged in her coin purse.

"A mere twenty gold!"

''For such a high quality piece? How on Nirn is this stall still open?''

Kay counted out twenty coins and quickly passed it to the Wood Elf, who accepted it graciously, despite his customers more than odd behaviour. Kay waited for the meat to be wrapped and turned to look at Carlottas fruit and veg stall. She stiffened immediately upon seeing her customer, Ysolda.

''Fuck...fuck...shit! ''Kay thought, turning back to Anoriaths stall and taking the Venison from him.

She slowly walked off, staring at her feet, and praying to the Gods that Ysolda wouldn't turn around.

However...the Nine are dicks.

Kay bumped into a Redguard who was patrolling the Markets, and landed on the ground, hard.

"S-sorry!" Kay mumbled, looking up.

"Hmph..." The Redguard muttered, his tone condescending. "I should have the guards arrest you! I advise the Jarl on very important political matters you know!"

"I-I already said s-sorry!" Kay stuttered, picking her meat and herself off the floor.

"Nazeem..." came a Nord voice that made Kays hair stand on end. "Leave the poor woman alone. It was clearly an accident."

"Hmph. I bet she doesn't even get to the Cloud District very often..." Nazeem grumbled, walking away and shaking his head.

"Don't mind him." Ysolda said with a warm smile. "Are you o-"

The Nord paused when Kay looked into her eyes. Her smile vanished and was soon replaced with a look of anger mixed with concern.

"You..." Ysolda whispered in shock.

"Y-ysolda, please." Kay begged, looking away quickly. "I was never here."

"You ran from this place!" Her friend hissed. "You abandoned everyone. Even your ow-"

"Shut up Ysolda." Kay warned. "I make my payments like I have to. It's all I can do."

"But...don't you want to see how its progressed?"

"...No" Kay stated, turning and walking away, scowling when she heard the womans footsteps behind her.

"K..." Ysolda soothed, grabbing her shoulder and spinning her to look her in the eyes again. "It would be for the best wouldn't it?"

"No!" yelled Kay, noticing the city dwellers looking over at the pair. "I have to go. I wasn't here!"

"But K!"

"Leave me alone!" Kay snapped, running off back to Dacians house where she burst in and closed the door loudly. She slid down it, panting heavily and rested her head on her knees, the venison sitting beside her.

Of all the people...

Gods...What have you got against me!?
