The wilds of Cyrodiil was truly my home. I knew those better than any streets in the cities. It's like learning how to swim, you'll be scared at first.

Hatred, sadness, anger, confusion, paranoia, there was a lot going through her mind.\n\n\nShe had hoped this was some sick joke, a prank by one of her men. Or perhaps Balgruuf had been not feeling well and wanted to test her, see her reaction. But with the look from her men, the overall tone she felt when entering back into her home. She felt heated, she wanted to throw up. She made her way through the market in a hastily fashion and made her way up to the steps.\n\nWith the doors opening wide, the guard made her way up to the wooden steps and stopped in her tracks. She was stunned.\n\nThere he was, an Orc on the throne, as well as more Orcs? What was this? A secret invasion? How could anyone let these barbarians take the mantle and play Jarl? Nobody else challenged him for the throne? Everyone just failed Balgruuf. She was ready to give a mouthful, but knew if she went too far out of line or said the wrong thing. She would either be rotting in the dungeon for the rest of her life, or be made an example by her head being placed on a pike for all to see. She didn't want to be a bad example, her men for the most part seemed compliant with the new Jarl, not that you can tell even they were uneasy with the sudden change of hats. However, they were still being paid and none of them wanted to be the first to step out of line as well.\n\nJust from a glance, she could tell that the Orc was a mighty warrior. It was no wonder he won such a duel against her Jarl. Even then, she had a quick thought of challenging him herself. But soon had a flash image play in her mind of being either defeated or killed. She knew the orc would probably kill her with one swing, or snap her neck with little effort.\n\nBut she felt like Balgruuf's hand himself had told her to calm down, it was not worth the effort and he was for the most part honorable. Perhaps he would make a good Jarl for the people, but only t\n\nIme would tell.\n\nShe would take a deep breath, balling up fists that soon relaxed and she would then make her way to the throne.\n\n\"My... Jarl. I have returned from Falkreath. It is... A honor to meet you.\" She would clench her fist and place it across her chest before giving a bow to the Orc. It felt wrong to her.

It seemed like he was already changing the Nords out with his own kin, but perhaps it was just a coincidence that the Steward and a Housecarl would now Orcs. The Steward she felt like had good character, but the Housecarl seemed like your typical \"Three wives, die before old man\" Brute of an Orc. She gave no fear, and was waiting for the Orc to make a move. Calina would defend herself, and saw the Housecarl as a more fair fight than with the Jarl, she had more confidence that she could best him over the Jarl. Whom she had some fear from.\n\n\"Do I have any new duties other than my present ones?\" She asked, in case if he had plans for her while she was away.

He also muttered what he was writing, except that he wasn't speaking in Aldmeris, rather a different language- anyone familiar with Khajiit would recognize it as Ta'agra. Perhaps he would have joined in the song and drinking, but here he just needed some supplies and a warm place to resume his work, which was in this case writing a series of notes on some of the old Nordic ruins surrounding Whiterun, and a bit of detail on the city itself when relevant. Maybe a boring pursuit to some- spending hours at a table writing on paper- but to Sha'dar it was ideal, being a scholar by trade.*"

"message": "She was not prepared to be yelled at or scorned, and having that happen to her made her jump a full 360 degrees to face the one who would dare raise their mortal voice at Ketosha Drakonhart. \n\nWhen she was facing the person, she realized it was an Altmer, and that made her face switch to one of battle focus.\n\nKetosha was lower to the ground, her feet set shoulder width apart, and her right hand on the handle of her sword. She did not draw it yet, but she looked ready to fight off the elf if she turned out to be Thalmor. \n\n\"I was outside of the wall and faced away from any flammable objects. That was safe enough grounds for me\" She explained, making sure to keep logical within the situation. Ketosha then asked defiantly, \"Now what reason does an Altmer such as yourself even think you have an ounce of authority over me?\""

Thumming in the morning. These are hardworking people, the last thing they need as they're waking up is a loud thum. Also... I may not be the Jarl's Guards but I will report your... Misconduct to him. I have a very good memory and I will find out who or what you are.\" Lenore stood closer to the Elf, staring her down."

She didn't know this elf from a backwater town in Solstheim, but she wasn't certain that she could back down or be intimidated. \n\n\"And how would I know you would go to the Jarl and not a piece of Thalmor scum?\" She asked, her own voice lowering to a threatening whisper."

"message": "Lenore stepped back, but slapped Ketosha across the face. Leaving bit of a red mark.\n\n\"How dare you! You racist piece of shit.\" Lenore fumed, even losing her demnore and swearing.\n\n\"I have no words to describe you. Other than... Nordic Terms they would use on your kind. You...\" Lenore's skin began to glow red. \n\n\"Get out my face, before I lose even more of my temper and turn you into a pile of ash.\" Lenore threaten. \n\nLenore would ball up a fist, blue lighting began to spark but she calmed down a bit. However, those words really struck a nerve. She had a tear form on her left but she turned around and walked away. Wiping her eyes."

"message": "She did not know where the hell that slap came from, or why the Altmer even did so. It didn't make any sense. If Ketosha were to strike, it would be with her blade, and the intention would be to cut; to harm. \n\nWhile the slap stung, it was comparatively weak to a punch in the gut or a Warhammer to the chest. And what was even more confusing was that Ketosha thought she asked a legitimate question. She knew that Thalmor came in many shapes and races. Hell, she'd bet that a few Khajiit were allowed to serve the Thalmor. Whether that was true or not, it didn't matter. \n\nShe followed the girl into town, but kept her distance and presence slunk within shadows. She only had a few hours before sunrise, and she won't waste it."

"message": "Out of the all the High Elves Ketosha has ever seen, Lenore looked unique. Her skin was almost if a human color, there was only a bit shade of the Altmer yellow in her skin's Pigment. \n\n\"It's better to have a friend who has served many battles with you than to hire a warrior whom claims to have face many battles. The Jarl knows who is great with a blade. Why not have somebody whom he's seen battle many foes.\" Lenore commented."

She had the ambience of the mill, workers, and the sound of Alvor the blacksmith working on a new sword in the background.\n\nMost people would find these sounds annoying, but Anore found them soothing in a weird way. Still, she knew she would have to pack up and venture up to Bleak Falls Barrow in order to study the runes or carvings."
