Elis wandered down the corridor, heading straight back to her room, however, she was unexpectedly intercepted by Agatha along the way. The Breton stepped around a corner in front of her and quickly approached her to be by her side, what with Elis being the only one who didn't treat her like shit.

"Elis? You okay?" She asked, somewhat frantically as she approached the Bosmer, who raised her hand.

"I am fine Agatha... I simply went for a walk, to calm my nerves." She stated, keeping up her façade. She was only herself in her room or outside, she couldn't risk it in the corridors. As far as she was concerned, her real self didn't exist. The best way to keep up a lie was to keep it somewhat truthful, even to you...

"I... Heard you were attacked." The Breton replied as they continued to head back to her room.

"Y-Yes... But I was fortunate enough to slip their grasp." Elis replied, again she couldn't mention Hal, he didn't exist as far as she was concerned. Not outside her little sanctuary.

The two of them approached the door to her room and Elis instantly stepped inside, placing both of her hands against her stomach as she walked elegantly along, a stance that was quickly dropped as soon as she heard the door click.

The Bosmer quickly turned around and placed her hands on Agatha's shoulder, staring her in the face.

"Okay... Listen, the people, the ones attacking this place? They're... They say they know you, I met them, last time I went out hunting and they said that they were looking for you."

"W-Wait, you mean Talin?" Agatha asked, rather frantically.

"I... Don't know, don't remember hearing that name. But we had Nissa here, in the dungeon but I managed to set her free." The Bosmer explained, hoping that that would be enough to trust her.

"Urgh... Surprised that she didn't threaten to stab you." Agatha grumbled, glaring off across the room.

"Nah, she was... weird but surprisingly pleasant. The other ginger Dunmer was worse, he and that Breton tried to grab me in the garden. If it weren't for Hal, I'd probably would've been giving some happy endings right now, whilst waiting for the ransom."

Agatha smirked and rolled her eyes, shaking her head.

"They aren't like that, at least Talin isn't... he wouldn't allow it. Not so sure about Jude though..."

"Jude is... The Breton?"

"The Dunmer, we picked him up a few months ago, when he tried to kill us." Agatha explained, realising how dumb that sounded.

"Huh... Well, he's pretty good at that I guess, he did almost nab me." Elis said, with a smirk and a shrug.

"Anyway... I've told Nissa that I'm taking you over to her in three days. Just... Need to wait for the patrols to piss off around the house." Elis explained, glancing off to her right as she folded her arms.

"I erm... Guess that makes sense, I'll need to get my stuff back from the armoury as well." The Breton pointed out, getting a nod from her companion.

"That's fine, I can arrange that." Elis said, giving her a nod as a knock could be heard at her bedroom door.

She glanced up, seeming rather put out by it as she stepped over to it, slowly raising her hand and placing it on the door handle as she gently jerked it open.

As the door opened and she peered through it's crevice, she noticed that a man stood behind it, a man of her height with messy brown hair and a number of scars around his collar bone, more under his shirt. She knew this, like she knew him, oh so well.

Kessen?

Elis threw the door open and lunged forward, pulling the Bosmer into an embrace as she buried her nose into the crook of his neck. Kessen seemed rather put out but as he slowly got used to the young Bosmeri girl clinging to him, he slowly raised his arm and wrapped it around her back.

He was... home...
