The Forum Scrolls I

"I'm Gidge, but my friends sometimes call me Fireball. I don't mind little one though. Normally I would take it as an insult but for some reason I find it endearing. Also I thought you said it was just outside of the city. That's a pretty long hike for this late at night."

Beau shrugs, getting dressed as he walks. "Geez, someone's got a bit of a short fuse, eh?"

"its not that long of a hike," *i look at the breton, trying to be funny*

"Short fuse huh? Yeah that's a real new one. Great job thinking of it. Maybe next time you could make an even worse pun or perhaps a fire joke. You know, just to mix things up."

"calm down gidget," *i say while i stop leaning and begin to start walking to my home* "we need to get walking again"

Beau sturggles to keep a straight face, having way too much fun. "No, no. I'd rather be the bigger person and just not say anything."

John grimaced. *This is going to be a tedious hike,* he thought to himself as he continued to fiddle with the dagger. He hated the racket of people arguing. It was better to watch people settle their disputes with their fists and forget the whole thing. But now wasn't the time to intervene.

She had been watching the group ever since she caught up with them, unsure whether or not they noticed.

I noticed the khajiit following the group and trying not to be seen. As she hadn't approached the group, I said nothing. Instead I excused myself to relieve myself and walked over to her. "I see you found us."

"so she decided to join us i see" *i say after glancing back* "now if yall dont mind lets get walking..."

John nodded in agreement to move on and waited for feet to start moving. He twirled the dagger and put it back in his pocket.

I start walking with the group again, but slower than before. It's been a long day and I really need sleep. However I know that the group will not agree with stopping anymore so I trudge on. The cliffs where the house is seem to get slightly closer, but it's a long way before we arrive.

She just smiled at the two who acknowledged her and started walking.

"I have sweetrolls. Anybody want one for the trip?"

"it seems gidget might want one," *i say while keeping a steady pace*

(I won't be on for a week.)

"Actually I would like a sweetroll. It's been a very long day." I take a sweetroll and hesitantly bite into it. "These are delicious! Where did you get them?" I happily eat more, smiling at each bite.

*i chuckle a little as i keep walking*

"I picked them up on my way to the inn, someone at the market had them for half price." He smiled and bit into one.

Beau strolls along beside the group, whistling to himself softly at a lively pace, almost skipping.

"Well I'm very glad you did. That made this walk much more bearable. And speaking of the walk, I think it's coming to a close." After a long night, we finally reach the house. Seeing it up close, it appears to have at least 2 floors and a river flows very near to it, meaning fresh water will not be a problem.

John smiled at the young lady's gratitude and nipped on his treat, relieved that they had made it. "How many rooms are there?"

She had been watching Beau mostly during the walk. His happy attitude and bouncy walk made her smile. He reminded her of herself. She had always been made fun of for being so up-beat and happy all the time. She was always kind and friendly but it did affect her. Lucky for her, her skills in battle were superior to most where she was from. She was snapped out of her thoughts when the group came to a halt. She looked around and then at the house. She let out a giddy squeal of excitement saying how much fun this would be.

"You sure are happy, huh. No more walking for today." He chuckled to himself.
