"Leave now, dear Listener, and carry out the will of Sithis. All hail our Dread Father..."

The old woman's voice faded away into the distance and Rikki removed her head from the coffin only to encounter an excited Cicero behind her.

"The sweet mother has spoken, hasn't she?!" he clapped his hands together and made a jovial dance on the dirt floor. "Oh yes! Blades will sing and blood will spray! SPRRAY! Ahahahaha!"

Rikki always felt at unease around the jester. She knew he would be loyal to the death, but there was just something odd about him. He was more crazy than... well... the rest of them. Quite visually, as well...

"Uhm... yes, Cicero. The mother has spoken. Rikki will follow her directions as soon as she has gotten some rest." She looked up. "Say, have you seen a big, burly Khajiit around here somewhere?"

"Oh, poor old Cicero saw him alright!" laughed the mad jester. "He went deeper into the tunnels. Cicero almost thought of gutting him, yes! Gut him and wear his intestines as garters! Cicero would look so... delicate..."

The jester's smug smile sent shivers down her spine. Rikki hope she doesn't live long enough to turn as insane as the rest of these people...

She continued into the Sanctuary until she met up with Xad. She snickered and hooked onto his big arm, looking up at him with a smile. "Let's head to Rikki's chambers and have some wine, yes? She wants to hear everything that has been happening to you since she had to leave Helgen. You can talk this one's ear off before she has to get her well-deserved rest. She has an important meeting at the Tower of Dawn."
