The Devil In The Details
"This on does not relish the thought of letting the lizard roam the streets. Khajiit have a saying: 'once tasted, never wasted.'" Baroth glanced back at the Khajiit, her face twisted in disgust. He faced her as she continued, studying her demeanor hard for a moment. "Like revenge, it has tasted it and now it might crave it. Surely it is still a bandit?" She paused, then continued. "This one would speak to it. Tell it that this is it's home now, that these people are its new clan." She stood and, seemingly at random, asked Baroth what he was planning on doing today.
"Best be cautious on that. The lad's going through something awful, and to be frank, I'm convinced he still wants to end Orvar. It's good sentiment, talking to him, but I'd wait a bit." He looked from the lounging lizard to Khamundar. "Least until he gets his food. No one wants to fight with a mouthful."
He took a couple more sips and leaned on the doorframe, wondering why she'd ask but too exhausted to question it.
"Gotta check in with the lads down at the barracks, make sure they made it through the night all right. If they haven't healed up by now, i'll drop by Arcadia's, or if need be, i'll have to requisition Farengar's services. They're not the brightest out there, but they're tough, and that's all we really need right now." He paused, dragging an index finger under his chin and against the bristles of his patchy under-beard.
He couldn't remember the last time he shaved his beard or, for that matter, trimmed it; he hoped he didn't look too disorderly, though he truly could care less about his appearance unless it was in the face of a formal matter.
"Irileth mentioned, a few days back anyway, that Whitewatch Tower could use a prod, so i'll probably be heading out there. It really depends on how those men are holding up." He took another sip.
"Other than that, I meant to check with Fralia about a stolen necklace, but yesterday was a real doozy." He nudged the mug in her direction. "And you?"
