Middas Evening / City of Windhelm
Spent another day in Windhelm trying to decide what to do. The dark elf club I visited last night was a bust. That girl at the inn needs to stop handing out unwanted advice. The club was all but empty, and not a single note of music was being played. Although maybe that was a blessing. I awoke this morning to the bard in the inn playing another song I didn't want to hear. Not how I like to wake up. I suppose she's used to most people getting out of bed before it's time for lunch.
But this girl likes to stay up late and get up late. No sense starting a day any earlier than you have to. That's my opinion.
Eventually, when I couldn't take the music anymore, I did finally get up and ate some breakfast … lunch. I then walked the city and pondered what to do next. Any other time I would be locating the vampire cave and putting the pale skins down. But the Avani family is known for their power, and if the sisters went together and brought thrall with them, then maybe I should reconsider going into this one solo.
A man at the inn offered his sword for service yesterday. I brushed him off, thinking he was misjudging my abilities because of my gender. But maybe I over-reacted a bit. Maybe I should hire this fellow to come with me. He certainly looked capable enough. Then again, five hundred gold per day is a lot of coin. I don't even have half that amount right now.
So after a bit of walking around I decided to just hire the man and play this one safe. No sense trying to save coin if you're going to get yourself killed … or worse.
That meant I needed to get my hands on more gold, though. And I spent the rest of the day looking for some paying work that suited me. I got an offer the previous day from the alchemist to fetch a vial or a flask or something. The old man seemed a bit crazy though, and I don't like working for crazy. But then, no one else had much to offer. Not even the jarl, who I saw very briefly. I don't think he enjoys the company of reguards .. especially reguard women.
So I'm headed to bed to think things over and sleep on it. I plan to get up earlier tomorrow, but we'll see what happens.
