Jon quickly returned to Pontius, who was, remarkably, still chatting with the same nobles from outside. One was an altmer clad in thalmor robes, the other apparently a Breton who has some form of status in the Legion except a mere grunt, and the last one was an altmer woman, clad in a noble dress. Their faces quickly turned rather annoyed when Jon approached.

''Arrogant and down-looking.. Nice friends you have there, Pontius. ''Jon thought in himself, looking at the Imperial who, on the contrary of looking down on him, gestured to wait.

Jon did as commanded, crossing his arms; then Pontius said goodbye to the three others before heading over to Jon, rather curious as to what the outcome was.

"And?" He asked, rather hopefully. "What did that cultist - preacher tell you?"

Jon raised his shoulders, shrugging. "He just said something along the lines Tamriel will be saved  and some other stuff like that. He refused to tell me the location of the cult's hideout. He tried screaming for help but I slit his throat before he managed to attract any major attention. I probably have a bounty on my head now - I'm expecting you to clear it."

The Imperial sighed, rather dissapointed in Jon's failure. It could be seen he hadn't expected it himself. "Good. Now, off with you. I have some other.. stuff to do." With that, the imperial departed yet again.

Jon glanced at him as he was left alone. He was glad he had a client who was in high places and able to clear bounties for him. Bribing the guards to leave Jon alone was rather troublesome.

He continued drinking from his argonian bloodwine, before blending in with the crowd again and be off on his.. boring business of catching parts of conversations here and there. Some subject of the conversations were things he'd rather not interfere in. Others were as innocent as ever. Some were more interesting, but not enough to catch his attention.

Perhaps he should rejoin the earlier group he had talked to before.. or find Audax. Although, what would he say against the latter? If Lylair succesfully assassinated the emperor, she basically did the job he could do, but never would do. And she would get a bounty on top of it, which would also be claimed by Jon himself if given the chance.

He started heading towards  Helena, also noticing that some others he hadn't met yet had joined.
