Then there is her Court Wizard, Edwin Tanet, but he isn't in Windhelm right now and his renown as reduced greatly in the past few years. Lastly is Addvar Stormcloak, the Queen's Chancellor and heir. Her younger brother." Mera replied.

She turned a corner and brought them to the guest wing of the 2nd floor. "Your rooms are the first two on the left, enjoy your stay." "Hmm, I seem to recall a man named Edwin Tanet... He's an older fellow? Served the last High King before Ursine, correct?", Ash commented seconds before they arrived at the rooms, "Well, Mera, I appreciate the aid and the talk... I am sure we'll see each other a lot in the next few days."

The nobleman smiled gallantly, bowed and turned around to pick a room.

Albah'ith sighed, shook his head and turned to Mera, "If he begins to become a nuisance either talk to me or smack him on the head."

The elderly redguard made a small nod, much less exagerated than Ash'Shabar's bow, before heading inside the other room.

...

A few minutes later, Albah'ith pulled his door open to allow the younger redguard inside his room.

"How did you know I was going to knock?", Ash asked, clearly amused.

"The easiest question to answer would be what I do now know, young Alikk'r.", the elder man mocked and chuckled when Ash frowned after hearing the word alikk'r.

"You know tha..."

"I know."

"Then wh..."

"Because it amuses me to see you twisting and struggling not to hit me. It is fun.", Albah'ith chuckled, "So, do you think the new High Queen will oppose to my work?"

"No, she seems to grumpy and annoyed to take notice on foreign envoys. As long as I keep my role, she will do her best to look and stay away.", Ash'Shabar opened the window and allowed the cold breeze of Windhelm to invade the room, which annoyed Albah'ith, "You will be allowed to study and do your research in peace."

"Good. I'd hate to have more than one nosy high born meddling in my business. Most of you are daft oafs that only care fo..."

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard those complaints before. We, high born people, are all horrible people.", Ash interrupted, "Anyway, I believe I'll take a walk on the streets and meet a few folk. Merchants, Blacksmiths and whatnot... Meet me at the Inn when you are ready to go underground."
