"Are the boots ready, Starkad?" Myling asked the smith.

"Here you go, missie!" he replied and handed over the footwear he had been enhancing on the young woman's request. "I hope you won't be gone in Riften for too long. That place has a bad reputation, you know? Thugs, thieves and whatnot. You are better off staying here in Ekendal. You are safer here."

She smiled. "I know, but there is something I must get there. On Riamide's behalf."

"It should be a crime to send someone as young and innocent as you", insisted the smith. "Therefore I will send the lad with you!"

"What?!" exclaimed Aldoran. "B-but I haven't finished that dagger yet and have buckles that need..."

"Hush, boy!" said Starkad and gave the young Imperial a lash of the hand. "The young lady here is in need of your help. Now, be a man for once and do as you are told. You are going with her. You can help to protect her from those Riften-scum."

''Riften-scum? ''thought Myling. No, not Rowan...

"Fine!" sighed Aldoran. "I will go!"

Starkad nodded and then leaned closer to his partner. "And meanwhile", he whispered, "you can keep her under surveillance. Find out what exactly it is she is going to fetch in Riften. Maybe then you will have your answer as to what they are studying?"

Aldoran gave Starkad a glare and then gestured to Myling to follow him. "Come with me then", he sighed. "Riften isn't far away, but I sure do not want to stay there for the evening."

And the longer we remain outside Riamide's protective wards, the sooner the Umbramancer will find me, thought Myling and stumbled after the Imperial in her new furry boots.
