Ar'Jadhi suddenly made a strained grimace and clutched his hands to his chest, groaning loudly. "What... What the hell?!" he wheezed.

His henchmen looked at their employer with some slight worry that they wouldn't be able to get their salary out this week.

"This... this one's heart", murmured Ar'Jadhi. "It... it feels like..."

"You are feeling correct", said Rikki from behind him.

Rikki's power Shadowplay allowed her to blend in with her enviroment, but also allowed her to pass through physical matter as well as establishing a link between whatever matter she chose to come into contact with that would share her ability temporary. As of this moment, Rikki had used her power halfway, rendering her arm and her hand "unphysical" and letting them pass through the back of Ar'Jadhi, putting a grip around his heart from the inside.

"Argh!" groaned the smuggler. "It feels like this one's chest is going to burst."

"And it will", threatened Rikki. "This one can assure you of that. But only if your men are still keeping their aims at Khajiit within the next two seconds."

"Lower your arms! By the Twin Moons! LOWER THEM!" wheezed Ar'Jadhi, feeling as Rikki squeezed his heart harder, almost not letting it take another beat. Cold sweat began to pour from his face, his death was just a hard tug away... "What... what do you want to know?"

"Let's start with this client of yours", growled Rikki and made sure to balance her claws just above the surface of his heart, barely grazing it. "Who is he? What's his name and where is he located?"

"This one doesn't know!" whimpered Ar'Jadhi. "Khajiit came into contact with him in Solitude some months ago. Said that his name was Sidion and that he wanted to make himself a king or some crazy shit like that. He said that he had been able to locate his sister, another Half-God like him and how he wanted to bring her to him. He offered this one a huge deal of gold for every Half-God this one could capture with the help of some mages he had come into contact with."

"What's in the shipment you sent for?! Or rather that he sent for?!"

"Fuck you, bitch! I aint telling you that!"

Rikki squeezed around his heart again, barely just so that he would be able to live, but causing enough inner pain to make him squeal and talk. "Some magic potions!" he screamed out. "Sidion paid some mages from a foreign land to develop magical potions that are said to neutralize any bonds a Half-God may have between themselves and their divine parent, rendering them temporary powerless for a capture! Consider it as a sort of tranquilizer!"

"Where did this Sidion go?!"

"This one doesn't know, he swears! We only made a deal! Gold for Half-Gods! That's all!"

Rikki pulled her arm out of Ar'Jadhi, observing her bloodied fingers that had just until recently been holding the beating heart of a Khajiit in their grasp, but on the man's body there was not a single trace of any entering. The smuggler collapsed over the table breathing heavily and clutched to his chest in pain. His henchmen once again readied their crossbows but had no chance to open fire before Rikki had once again entered the nothingness, only appearing briefly as she brought the henchmen down one by one.

When all was said and done she appeared before Pierre with a somber expression. "We... we can leave now, yes?"
