Levi Barenjager
The Drunken Battlemage
Levi removed from his bag the daedric dagger that Rodmar had given him in Riften. Taking an apple in his hand he began to carve large slices from it and place them in his mouth, one at a time, as he pondered Khan's question. Clearly Ljufa wanted to stay, and it was possible the others felt the same.
"Next, I'm going to drink this mead," was all he replied, taking a large gulp from the bottle that sat next to him.
As the travelers finished the last of their meal, the Stormcloak officer marched into the fort with several men behind him. These men began to spread through the various rooms of the building, collecting foodstuffs and weapons. "You've had your hour," he said "now kindly take your leave, if you will." His cordial words belied the force that could back them up. Levi stood to meet the officer, setting down his apple but retaining the dagger. He looked at the man intently, knowing full well that the time that had passed could not have been half of what he claimed.
"Some fights are not worth fighting," he thought. Besides that, Levi knew they had time to make up on the road and there way still light left in the day. He walked past Ljufa, taking a loaf of bread and handing it to Khan. "You'll want this for strength," he said in a dry manner, "if you are to carry Tobias to Shor's Stone by nightfall."
So, the five of them took what more food they could, including a great deal of wine that Rodmar had discovered, and set foot again for Shor's Stone. "The Stormcloaks came down this same road we now travel," Levi said as they departed. "I expect we'll see no more bandits or the like... today, that is."
