As the next morning rose, Destro and Maximus woke early to get moving. They headed to the common room of the tavern, aiming to eat something before the travel.

"You are really pulling my reigns, dear brother... Putting me on a leash like that won't do us any good, trust me.", Maximus had been pestering his younger brother since they got out of bed, which made Destro even grumpier than normal.

Upon reaching the counter, the brothers realized they were not alone...the bard from the night before was sitted near the door and stared straight towards their direction. Besides the Innkeeper, who still seemed a bit drowzy, the three men were the only ones there:

"Top of the morning to you, lads.", Carden smirked creepily. He had a plan and now was the time to put it in action.

"Oh, a very nice morning to you too, bard!", Max approached the strange-looking nord and offered an unexpected handshake, "You are quite good with that lute, sir... I wanted to say: good job."

Carden was caught by surprise with the older imperial's reaction. He shook the man's hand and nodded in appreciation.

"Ah, thank you very much, mr..."

"Forsennato. Maximus Forsennato and this is my brother Destro.", the son of Sheogorath introduced them, even if it was pretty clear that his brother had no patience to chat with a bard.

"I'm Carden.", the nord said in return.

Maximus pulled a chair, sitting close to Carden as if they were old friends catching up.

"So, tell me, where did you got the inspiration to write that last song? You know, the one which spoke of madness and love...", Maximus asked, chugging the mug of milk he ordered.

Carden chuckled, amused by the man's childish interest and behavior, "Well, let's say it came from personal experience. Long time ago...nah, that is an awfully long story which I'm sure you don't want to hear."

"Nonsense! I'm always willing to listen to well-told stories, specially from a Master of the Words!", the older imperial shook his head.

"You heard the man, Maximus. Stop bothering him, shut up and eat your food.", Destro jumped in before Carden could start his tale. A strange silence took over, a silence which Maximus knew so well and despised so much.

Carden analyzed the brothers and quickly realized their relationship. The younger one was the control, the cold and calculist side of the duo while the older one was chaos, the warmth and passionate side. It was weird how he felt they balanced eachother and Carden knew there was something else behind it.

"So, gentlemen, leaving so early? Why is that?", the bard asked, curious.

"That is none of your business, bard.", Des replied, defensively.

"We must reach the Imperial City.", Maximus answered, "Important business at the capital, something which cannot wait. We are hunti..."

He was interrupted by Destro's glance.

Hunting what?, Carden asked in his mind but didn't worded his question, "Well, I'll be damned! We are going to the same place, I have a show scheduled within 3 days at the King and Queen."

Ah, no...Gods be damned, don't put this f..., Destro thought, yet his thoughts were interrupted by the bards words:

"Perhaps we could travel together? That way I'll have plenty of time to tell you that story!"

"Now that is a MARVELOUS idea! Truly genial! Yes, of course you can ride along.", Maximus said, excitedly. He sounded like a little child who found a load of gold on the ground.

Despite his thoughts, Destro didn't opposed. He figured if his brother had someone to talk to, then he wouldn’t be bothered that much...and besides, he knew how to block out other people's chat. The trio finished up their meal and headed out of the city, first retrieving their horses at the stables so they wouldn’t need to walk all the way to the Imperial City.
