Madrar
The Shadow in the Dark.
Joren listened to the khajiit womans' concerns, and when she'd finished listing them, he nodded. "Interesting concerns. Also irrelevant." With that, he turned and made his way towards Thalien and the others, having had enough of socialising for the moment. Though he hadn't told the khajiit why her reasons were not worth worrying about, but they seemed obvious to him. They were a group of mercenaries in service to the empire. As for beasts or bandits, they worried him even less. While he doubted there were many to match his skill, neither did he think they could be so incompetent as to get themselves killed by a pack of wolves or a gang of bandits. Resting his halberd against his shoulder, he leaned against the rock face that made up the rear of their camp, dark eyes surveying the preparations. Some of the group were already socialising amongst each other, building friendships, or alliances.
'Surely, they cannot be so foolish as to believe that these friendships will last.' Though he bore no allegiance to the empire, they were right to call this group of outlaws scum. Assassins, bounty hunters, mercenaries, most of whom had fought against the imperials, at one time or another. If a reward were on any of our heads, the others would jump at the chance to claim it. Like a pack of rabid dogs, tearing at wounded prey. For his part, Joren was glad he had few friends that he could trust absolutely. The rest of this little company could burn, for all he cared.
