(Made a pie out of a scene from the unlisted RP, it may contain a number of errors, since it's over a year old.

Also, formatting might be a little off, since I'm A. on my laptop and B. C&P'd it from a site that uses a different engine.)

As Lilly slept, she found her memories of Dragon Bridge resurfacing...

The two convicts arrived at Dragon Bridge as the sky turned a fiery orange and the sun and moon changed shifts, the village was surprisingly busy, despite its lack of importance.

"What's this settlement?" Lilly asks in confusion, "It's not on my map."

"Your map may be out of date." Minity replied before a man approached them both. Minity placed one hand on her sword and was prepared to draw it when he spoke

"I have a message for you." He sounded out of breath before handing a letter to Minity

"From who?" She asked "They paid me extra gold to keep quiet." The courier shrugged before he walked away from the two of them onto the opposite side of the bridge.

Minity opened the letter as her companion awaited, patiently by her side, waiting for the news.

She was hesitant to comment due to fearing the accusation of invading Minity's privacy. Though she was still curious...

"Is it about the quest?"

"It's a message from Engmaensen." Minity lied "He wants an update on how our quest is going and wishes us luck."

"He must be eager to get his hands on those artifacts, considering that he's already asking for status updates, 3 hours up the road..." Lilly replied, finding it difficult to hide her doubt.

Minity cursed herself. She'd underestimated Lilly who she was certain was now suspicious of her lie.

"All I know is that Engmaensen wants an update. Either he didn't expect his courier to reach us this quickly, or he's more impatient than I realized."

Lilly didn't want to cause a confrontation so she suppressed any doubt that might have lingered in her tone. "Darn... we should have nabbed that courier before he got away! I suppose it doesn't matter... we should find a place to sleep tonight anyway, best to avoid the dark whilst traveling on the roads."

"The Four Shields Tavern is the only inn around here I think. We should stop there." Minity suggested

Lilly nodded in agreement. "Well then, we had better get moving... I'd hate to be attacked by bandits who swoop down from the trees and give you the chance to say 'I told you so..."

Minity smiled slightly in response and walked towards the inn.

"Before we go inside." She began, stopping in her tracks

"You only ask for a room or food and drink, you don't talk to anyone unless it's absolutely necessary.

Understood?"

"I wasn't planning on talking to anybody anyway..." Lilly replied, truthfully.

"Good. Remember, we can't draw attention to ourselves. We should go in separately."

Before Lilly could reply Minity had already stepped through the doors of the inn.

"Okaaay... Guess I'll just wait a minute or two."

She looked around, as expected, few people were outside at this time of night.

"I-it's been a minute... right?" Though she knew full well that it hadn't been.

Though she had no intentions of going in yet, she was fighting every urge and impulse to not go into the inn.

She looked up and saw a group of travelers, heading towards the inn.

They didn't look like officials and they looked too weathered to be villagers, their leader was a Khajit with multiple scars on his face he was quite well built for one of the people of elsweyr. He was followed by a young, sickly pale argonian and a plump breton.

"Hey, you lost?" The breton asked.

Just leave me alone... Lilly thought to herself but she quickly straightened her back and attended to them.

"No, just waiting for someone."

The Breton laughed and leaned in.

"We could wait with you..."

Lilly waved her hands and stepped back in an effort to fix the misunderstanding. "No, not necessary but I appreciate the gesture."

"How appreciative are you exactly?" The breton asked, raising his hand to her face and stroking her cheek, his breath said that he had been drinking recently. Lilly immediately grabbed his wrist and threw it down to his waist.

"Not that appreciative!" She snapped, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that this is a misunderstanding, though she had a strong feeling that it wasn't.

*Ahem*

The group turned around, a Nord woman in green robes with platted hair stood before them.

"I believe she said no gents... better luck next time!"

"Ha! Well, a someone who's truly dedicated doesn't take no for an answer..."

"Well, I'll make this simple... let her go or I'll be dedicated to slitting your throat!" The woman threatened.

"Heh... you hear that fellas? Sh-"

"Hands off..." The Khajit ordered, he had a gruff voice that was filled with authority.

The breton let go and placed his hands by his sides.

"We-we were only messing around!" The breton protested.

"Yes, I know but we don't want to take this too far..." The Khajit replied.

"Forgive my friend, he's a little... lewd after a few tankards of mead."

The argonian chuckled slightly, "tankards? You mean kegs?!"

"Way to piss all over his character..." The khajit replied, though his face said that he was laughing inside. He began to walk away, taking his rabble with him.

"Thanks..." Lilly replied, short of breath.

"Hey, it's what I do... they didn't look too bad but then again, you never know with these people. Who were you waiting for? Perhaps I saw them going in."

"I lied..." Lilly admitted, "the person that I was 'waiting for' has already gone in."

"Oh good!" The woman replied, enthusiastically "they can buy me a drink!"

"They aren't that sort of person..."

"What sort of person are they?"

"I wouldn't know... not known them for long." Lilly was suddenly aware that she knew nothing about this woman and had already told her a lot more than she should have. She could have set that whole business with those men up in order to gain her trus-

Damn... beginning to sound like Minity... She thought.

"-ja What about you?"

"Huh?"

"Jeez, let me give you a minute to catch up." The woman replied with mock annoyance. "I said 'My name is Vilja! What about you?"

"L-lilly..."

"Well 'L-Lilly' are you going to stand out here waiting for the dragons to return? Or are you going to buy me a drink and introduce me to your friend?"

"She isn't really my 'friend'..."

"Sister?"

"No..."

"Girlfriend?"

"NO!"

"You're too easy!" Vilja smiled.

Lilly sighed, defeated, she entered the bar accompanied by her new 'friend.'

Lilly awoke the next morning, rolling onto her back and staring up at the ceiling as she gave a happy sigh, until the next thirty years caught up with her.

The Imperial sat up and threw her legs over the side of the bed, sighing as she stood up and wandered over to the door of her bedroom, wondering what time of day it was.

She hoped that it was morning...
