"The only reason we're having this conversation is due to Brynjolf's assurance you won't botch another assignment. He claims you possess some sort of uncanny aptitude for your line of work. Quite frankly I find that hard to believe." Maven continued, ignoring everything Aventus said. "It's been a long time since Brynjolf's sent me anyone I can rely on."

"I see, well. If you give me the axe I could sharpen it for you. I have some time after all." Balimund said

City was mostly quiet at this time, but there were pieces of rocks scattered about, most likely from the catapults that had laid siege to the city when it was still in the hands of the Empire.

Alyssa entered a large room, she could hear from a door the same voice saying "No, never find me." she glanced at the door but kept walking, up sthe staris was a barred door, behind it what looked like a chef, he drew an axe as he saw her and said "Ah so tender... Come here you juicy morsel!" but Alyssa walked past him, the door wasn't locked but for whatever reason he did not want to open it himself. Neither of these people could be Esbern as the dossier had described him as a Loremaster and said nothing of cannbalism, perversion or cooking whatever the chef was into.

She approached the reinforced door and knocked on it, a mysterious man opened a small window and said "Go away!" Alyssa lifted an eyebrow, for some reason his voice made her think of chocolate. "Esbern? Open the door. I'm a friend."

"What?! No, that's not me. I'm not Esbern. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Delphine said to "remember the 30th of Frostfall."" Alyssa said in hopes of persuading Esbern to open the door.

"Ah. Indeed, indeed. I do remember. Delphine really is alive, then? You'd better come in then and tell me how you found me and what you want." he closed the window and began to loosen the locks, seemingly taking his time as Alyssa looked around. "This'll just take a moment... This one always sticks...there we go. Only a couple more." he said "There we are! Come in, come in! Make yourself at home!" he opened the door for them.
