"Farewell," Ellimar said. Ellimar and Sathra started heading back down to Karthwasten.

"I need to retrieve my horse from Markarth before we head back to the Fort," Sathra said to Ellimar as they got to the edge of Karthwasten.

"Right. I'll start heading there on foot," said Ellimar as Sathra began heading towards Markarth. Ellimar began walking to Riften.

Some distance outside of Karthwasten, Ellimar heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Nice day out, could do with a little less sun though," J'Rassi said. Ellimar spun around to face him.

"J'Rassi? I haven't seen you in a while," Ellimar said.

"I see you've signed on with the Dawnguard," said J'Rassi. Ellimar was suddenly concerned where this conversation was going. Apparently, it showed in his posture and expression.

"Relax," J'Rassi said, waving a dismissive hand, "I'm not here to fight. If I was, I wouldn't have shown myself. In fact, I plan on helping you."

"Care to elaborate?" Ellimar asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I recognize the threat that vampires pose to the people of Skyrim. However, I can't join the Dawnguard outright, being a vampire and all," J'Rassi responded.

"What does tha--" Ellimar started.

"I'm getting there, by the Gods you mortals are impatient," J'Rassi interrupted, "I'm going to help you and your order, but from the outside. But in order to do so, I need a friend within the Dawnguard. I figured you were a better choice than your Dunmer companion, given our shared past."

"Alright, what do you need me to do?" Ellimar asked.

"Nothing right now," J'Rassi responded, "I'll be following from a distance until you get more orders."

"I'll see you later," Ellimar said as J'Rassi walked off.

"No you won't," he responded as he walked away.
