"What do you mean leave?" chuckled Rikki as she followed her comrade along the streets of Riften. "We have a good thing going here, Cat. No?"

The Breton just shot a glare at her Khajiiti friend. "Look around you, you fool", she mumbled sternly underneath her hood. "These people are all afraid. It's just a matter of time before they do so something drastical. Like plunder the city or something. Our little shack wouldn't be enough to hold them back."

Rikki smacked with her lips. She had known Cat for quite some time now. The two had encountered each other two years back. Rikki had been on the run for stealing some bread, whilst Cat had been... mentally torturing a man who had tried to take advantage of a flower girl in an alleyway. She didn't recall exactly at which moment it was settled that the two of them were joining forces. Nor did she recall why either of them thought it was a good idea, considering their opposite personalitites. Nor the exact reasons behind it...

But they worked fairly well together. They slept in the same big, shabby bed. They both preyed on the same ruffians in the streets for their daily coins and they both ate together. If Rikki ever had an older sister, she could imagine her to be just as gloomy and somber as Cat. But if there was one thing she could agree with, concerning Cat's bitter demeanor, it was that Riften had indeed changed, and not for the better. The common ruffians weren't even showing up anymore. Something was about to happen indeed. The Khajiit could give the Breton that much.

"So... What do you want to do?" asked Rikki.

"I want to leave", replied Cat. "Now. Before we end up in something we don't want to be a part of."

The Khajiit nodded vaguely to the suggestion, as if she was reflecting upon what it would mean. It had after all taken them months just to aquire that shack. And places to live in Riften were hard to come by. Who could say how long it would be before either of them would be able to live this comfortably again.

"Damn you", growled Rikki. "Fine. Khajiit agrees with you. She doesn't like it, but she guess that things aren't going very well here. Yes? So therefore we will pack our things up and leave? Does that sound good?"

Cat smiled underneath her hood, as if she enjoyed to the see her comrade's annoyed outburst when she broke out of character. "Outstandingly", she replied.
