"You faintly flinched when I mentioned the sword.", the halfbreed said, had sneaking up behind Maximus.

"Well, my good sir, it is only because I hate weapons of any kind.", the loon replied still facing the muscular imperial, "I don't even have one, see?"

He showed the cane, which was truly a masterful work but it simply wasn't the thing they were looking for. Maximus was smart, despite his manners and doings and as a smart halfgod it didn't took much to fool those men...or so he thought. The imperial allowed him to pass and he did, but not without illusioning his way to a different room.

...

As the morning rose, Destro dawned and woke his brother up, as usual. He found it odd that Maximus urgently needed to head to Carden's room, but didn't thought much of it.

...

Maximus slowly opened the door, finding the room pretty much unused. If it wasn't for the large book, wrapped in cloth over the bed no one would say that the room was occupied for the night.

He reached for it and fought the curiosity, managing to simply shove the book into a bag, which was also over the bed and which he figured it to be the same that Carden carried around.

...

The brothers met again to eat something before the travel and Maximus quickly spotted the men from last night... well, one of them at least, the slender breton.

"We spent enough time here.", Destro said. It was lucky that his cloak shielded and concealed his weapon so well and Maximus appreciated this very much.

"We don't need to wait for Carden. Let's go.", the Son of Sheogorath mumbled, finishing up his meal.

Despite of finding Maximus' actions very unsettling and odd, Destro simply nodded and got up. The duo headed for the stables and once again Max's behaviour seemed strange as the older imperial not only retrieved his horse, but Carden's too.

He is still following us..., Max noted. It would be extremely easy to lose him if the older Forsennato wished, but then where would be the fun?

The duo headed for their ultimate goal, the Imperial City...and so did Váli's band of misfits.
