(How many years have passed btw?)

Rikki the Shadowcat... Rikki the Unwilling... Rikki-of-many-Alliances... She had many titles and all of them were true. She had been acting as Listener for a good while now. Through her command the majority of the Dark Brotherhood had reformed. They were no longer known as the unscrupulous killers people would take them for. At least she tried to achieve that. She had been writing new tenants and rules for how the guild would work in the future.

1st rule: The intended target must be of at least 20 years of age to be assassinated, otherwise we will not accept the contract.

2nd rule: The intended target must have some sort of former criminal record to be assassinated, otherwise we will not accept the contract.

3rd rule: The client cannot specify his or hers motivations for wanting to kill the intended target based upon race or gender.

4th rule: If the intended target is aware of the assassination assignment, they can buy themselves free from the contract. Thereafter they cannot be targeted again by the same client for a two years' timespan.

5th rule: The client pays after the assignment has been carried out. If the sum isn't payed out as promised, we will take whatever possessions of value found within the client's household as repayment. If the debt doesn't add up, extreme and drastical measures will be taken.

She was really proud of the rules. She had even come to enjoy her position as Listener. And the other assassins had been right: there was no killing involved from her behalf by playing the role. The only thing she would never get used to though was to speak with the mummified corpse of the Night Mother.

At nights she felt lonely and often withdrew to her quarters by herself. While all the other assassins Babette, Nazir, Cicero, Ma'Ravi, Evanius, Lockan and Sigvar, were happily feasting in the great hall, she retired early. She clutched her pillows tightly and often thought about Xad. Sadly the only man she had developed an affection for and the only one who had returned those feelings, if for a brief moment. Evanius had made several approaches to her during her time as Listener, but she had rejected him everytime. She didn't want him, she wanted Xad, wherever he was...

She had been meaning to visit Helgen for some time now, but her occupation kept her busy and her bodyguards wouldn't let her leave, urging that it was for her own safety. But she wasn't completely happy here. Not without that surly Khajiit...
