It was in splitting up the prisoners that the Orcs had made their greatest success, and revealed their greatest failure.

They had separated a few people, including Rigel and Aryon, but locked the two up in their own cell.

The Orcs had apparently considered Aryon the greater threat as he was shackled to the wall while Rigel paced.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Rigel snarled. "Why in Oblivion didn't I SEE this coming?!"

Aryon looked up at Rigel. The woman was strong in many ways, but the Nord's heart must have been broken many times for it to be that fragile.

''Fear not, my love. I will help you pick up the pieces.''

"Rigel. You can't beat yourself up over this. It wasn't anyone's fault."

"No one's fault, except my own!" Rigel shouted, tears already steaming down her face. "I should have checked for traps, watched out for warnings! Hell, if it wasn't for me, we'd be trapped in a life of politics and distance for the rest of our lives!"

Rigel then continued pacing, much closer to Aryon this time. The Dunmer let the Nord collect her thoughts, then grabbed her by the chin.

"Listen to me, Rigel. You are quite possibly the most beautiful human being on Nirn, and nothing can change that. Your strategy equates that of Talos himself, and your wisdom surpasses that of the Moth Priests. Not even Dibella could tear my gaze from you, because that is the way things are, and will always be."

The pair remained silent for a moment as the gravity of Aryon's statement sunk in.

"Oh... Oh crap..." Aryon muttered.

"Ri, don't take that la-"

The Dunmer was interrupted as Rigel kissed him with full force.

Rigel was pacing her own cell
