Rikki woke up with her leg wrapped up in bandages. "NO!" she exclaimed. "Why did you do that? Now Rikki won't be able to outrun her assassins!"

The Bosmer scoffed. "You wouldn't have been able to outrun them anyhow with that nasty wound of yours. You'd better be glad I patched you up."

"Oh, Rikki is", she replied and tried to stand up. The leg ached and the white bandages had quickly turned into brownish red. "Well, I guess this one's days as a Companion are over", she shrugged. "She can't be of much help with only one good leg."

"You are a Companion then?" asked the Bosmer woman.

"Not really. Poor Rikki was just an underling. Her mentor Do'Xadhari, was supposed to have taught her." She grumbled something incoherent. "Good riddance anyway, he was both grumpy and..." She couldn't think of anything else. "Well, if he had taken responsibility for his students maybe Rikki wouldn't be in this trouble, no?"

She sighed. "Rikki should have just stuck to being a common thief. Everything was so much more better then. She wouldn't have to kill bandits who pulled in her precious tail, she wouldn't have to put up with grumpy kinsmen, and... she wouldn't have to be chased by the Dark Brotherhood."

The Bosmer woman snickered. "Sounds like a lot of trouble for a Khajiit, eh? I am not surprised actually. Your kind seems to have a nack for finding trouble."

Rikki crossed her arms. "Khajiit is not amused."

"Indeed. Well, I have to be off for a little while. Gotta go hunting, you know? And when I come back I will see if I can carry you back to that 'grumpy mentor' of yours. I am sure he must be missing his student."

"Rikki wouldn't count on it. The only thing he would be missing is his sword."

She then lied down and rested her head against the Bosmer's backpack. She couldn't tell for how long she rested, but she could hear the sound of footsteps coming down the cave.

"Back so soon?" she murmured and sat up.

In stead of the Bosmer woman there was a group of hooded people in black robes who smiled cruelly at her.

There was little she could do except for giving them a nervous grin back. "This one takes it that you haven't come to carry Rikki back to her master. Ha ha? No?"

The man in front of the robed group shook his head, still smiling. "We have come on behalf of the Night Mother", he said.

"Ah... Khajiit should have known."

She closed her eyes hard as they emerged upon her.
