"Listener? Rikki? Can you hear me?"

Rikki groaned in her sleep and fumbled as she struggled to sit up correctly in bed. It felt strange. She had been asleep and everything had been black, yet even when she awoke everything was black.

''The rest of my life will be in darknesss... How will I manage?''

"What... what is it? And who is it, by the way?"

"It's Babette, Listener", said the vampire.

"Ah, Babette", said Rikki and smiled, sad that she couldn't determine from where the Breton child stood. She suddenly felt a swift breeze pass by her nose. "You know that it is rude to test whether a blind person sees or not, no?" she commented.

"S-Sorry, Listener", said Babette and stopped waving her hand in front of Rikki's eyes. "I just came here to inform you that..."

"Well?"

Babette snickered. "Believe it or not, Listener. There have been rumors that we have... uhm... become somewhat popular in the south."

Rikki sharpened her ears. "Really?! Oh, Khajiit is so happy! Well... she would have been, but she can't possibly feel all that happy without Xad by her side. She misses him."

"I know you do", said the vampire and squeezed the Khajiit's hand hard. "Sorry for asking, but what's it like?"

"Huh?"

"To be blind?"

"Well, it's..." Rikki sighed. "This one is... actually not in a particular mood to discuss that right now. Sorry..."

"No, it's okay. I understand. You must miss him terribly."

Rikki nodded. "She does. She wants him to be here and hug her, but... he isn't..." She shrugged. "Besides, Rikki doesn't really believe that Xad is the kind of man to hug blind girls. He is far too craving for that."

"What's our next assignment?"

"Rikki is still awaiting a sign from our contractor. This one wants to reap the rewards the Dark Brotherhood has earned."

Babette smacked with her lips. "We play the waiting game then, is that it?"

The Khajiit nodded again. "Yes, but don't let that stop you from having some fun of your own. As long as you don't kill anyone that is, well... at least no innocents..."

The vampire smirked. "I understand, Listener."
