“Will someone fetch my stuff from the Inn? So, where will I sleep? And where do I put MY stuff?” – Katherine “Sabhira will show you.” – Ubergard “What about you? Where do YOU sleep? What do you like to do?” – Katherine “You have many questions.” – Ubergard
“I worry about her. Something in her mind broke back there.” – Lydia “Do you think so?” – Bhusaran “Oh yes. I hope it’s just temporary though. She’s sweet. And vicious.” – Lydia
“Vicious?” – Bhusaran “You had to be there. She didn’t just kill those gua… I mean, rapists. She mutilated them.” – Lydia “Mutilated?” – Bhusaran
“She killed the first by slashing his jugular, but the second… I think he died of asphyxiation.” – Lydia “Hmm?” – Bhusaran “Let’s just say he had something lodged in his throat. Deep in his throat. It wasn’t till then that she grabbed the sword…” – Lydia “Do you think she killed Arabhi too?” – Bhusaran “Oh no. No, that’s something completely different. Katherine was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” – Lydia
“So at this point your cover is completely blown?” – Bhusaran “Oh yes. But that happened the minute Arahbi was killed. This is no longer a drug investigation.” – Lydia “No. Skooma is one thing. We can be subtle and patient there. But murder is not a crime for subtlety.” – Bhusaran “Agreed… Let’s go talk to the Jarl.” – Lydia “You… might want to stop by your house for a change of clothes first.” – Bhusaran
“Now put the sword down, nice and easy.” – Lydia “Now look Lydia, we were just having a bit of fun. No one was going to get hurt!” – Guard 1 “And no one WILL if you stay calm and PUT THE SWORD DOWN! And for God’s sakes put that little thing back in your pants!” – Lydia “What the hell?” – Guard 2
“Oh my GOD! KATHERINE! WAIT!” – Lydia But Katherine didn’t wait. The fear had taken a new form and her mind had gone Feral. It was over before Lydia knew what she was seeing. The screams quickly turned into bubbling gurgles, and then there was silence.
“Katherine? Katherine. Put the sword down. You don’t need it anymore.” – Lydia
“Sword?” – Katherine
“Yes. Put it down please. The guards can’t hurt you anymore.” – Lydia “This sword? Put it down?” – Katherine
“Oh. OH! Hi Lydia! Hi Ubergard!” – Katherine “Thank you Katherine. Um… do you understand what just happened?” – Lydia “Oh yes. I killed those guards that were going to rape me! Killed the HELL out of them!” – Katherine “Oh yeah, you definitely did that. So, why are you smiling?” – Lydia “What? You mean BESIDES having killed two men that were threatening to behead me, disfigure me and rape me?” – Katherine “Let’s go back here. I see Bhusaran coming. I think we need to talk…” – Lydia
“Oh! Let me get my clothes on. I suppose I’m going to hang for sure now though?” – Katherine “What, THIS? Oh no. Both Ubergard and I saw the whole thing. No trouble with this.” – Lydia “But… they were the Jarl’s guards!” – Katherine. “Yes, but I’m the Commander of the Guard. It WON’T be a problem.” – Lydia “What? YOU?” – Katherine.
“Yes. It’s a long story. But you need to get back to H’s Chateau. Ubergard will take you.” – Lydia “REALLY! Back… Home?” – Katherine “Of course. After this I wouldn’t dream of putting you in that jail. You’ll have to remain there till we sort this out though.” – Lydia “No problem there! And you and Bhusaran?” – Katherine “We’re going back to explain to the Jarl. But don’t worry – he’ll understand. If we were to arrest everyone that killed someone threatening them in Skyrim, our jails would be overflowing!” – Lydia
“Goddamned murdering animals taking over Skyrim” – Guard 1 “Damned right. Someone should call an Exterminator” – Guard 2 “Nice ass though, if it wasn’t for that goddamned tail…” – Guard 1 “We could always cut it off! A bobtailed cat might have… uses.” – Guard 2
Yeah… Say, you ever had a Khajiit? I hear they fuck like rabbits.“ – Guard 1. "Na. My buddy over in Morthal has though. Got a brothel full of em over there he says” – Guard 2 “Hmmm….” – Guard 1
“What do you think?” – Guard 1 “Sure, no one would believe a Cat anyway. How about behind the brewery over there?” – Guard 2 “Sounds good to me!” – Guard 1 “PRISONER! We’re tired. We’re going to rest over there for a while.”- Guard 2
“Oh please no! I didn’t do anything, I PROMISE. But don’t do this, PLEASE!” – Katherine “Goddamned Cat ears… GET OVER there you furry fuck or I swear I’ll take your head off right here!” – Guard 2 “Go on Cat. We won’t kill you. Just a little fun for a few minutes. Hell, I’ll even put in a good word for you with the jailor.” – Guard 1
“But… but… I didn’t DO anything!” – Katherine. “We don’t give a shit about what you did or didn’t do.” – Guard 1 “Oh, she tried to run away! We had to cut her head off. What a shame.” – Guard 2 “Ok… I’m going…” – Katherine
“…finally got those clothes off anyway! Damn, what a fucked up looking animal!” – Guard 2 “That’s a good kitty. Now, don’t be taking those claws out… That’s right.” – Guard 1 “You wanna take her mouth?” – Guard 2 “Oh hell no! You seen those teeth? I ain’t going THAT way. I’ll wait for you and keep her nice and quiet for you. Right Cat? Can you purr for my friend?” – Guard 1
“Thats right kitty. Let’s hear you purr. Oh, I know what’ll make you purr.” – Guard 2 “Heh. From what I hear, you’ll need spikes on your cock before sh…. What? What’s that?” – Guard 1 “Huh?” – Guard 2 “Hello boys.” – Lydia
“Sabhira, who’s the human woman and the khajiit in white?” – Katherine “The human is Lydia. H just hired her a couple weeks ago. Don’t ask me why, she’s not very good and she moves like a man.” – Sabhira “And the khajiit?” – Katherine “That’s Bhusaran. She’s our Advocate. Sort of like a lawyer. And, of course, a model as well.” – Sabhira
“Hello, Katherine. Sorry to meet under such circumstances. These men are here to escort you to Whiterun where you’ll be held until the investigation into the death of Arahbi is completed or such time as you are absolved. You have NOT been convicted of anything – but you are under arrest for suspicion of her death. I will be your council and will meet you at the Whiterun jail this evening after we’ve concluded our investigation here.” – Bhusaran
“Thank you Bhusaran. I’ll be waiting for you. I’ve… never been to jail before.” – Katherine “I’ll come as soon as I possibly can Katherine. But now, you need to go with these guards.” – Bhusaran
“…are you sure we can’t keep here under guard here? She’ll be under constant supervision and won’t be allowed anywhere outside of the Valley.” – H “Look mister, our orders are to take her back to the jail, and that’s what we’re going to do. We don’t ask questions and we sure as hell don’t have the authority to change them.” – Guard 1 “I see. Then follow your orders Guard. Kat – I’ll be along with Bhusaran tonight to see you…” – H
“Move it prisoner. You walk in front.” – Guard 1 “I’m sorry, I’m not used to this sort of…” – Katherine “GET MOVING Prisoner or I’ll KICK you all the way to Whiterun!” – Guard 2
“Murdering, fleabitten bitch. Get your ass up those stairs and let’s get the hell out of this fucking zoo.” – Guard 1 “You got that right Shad! The sight of all those beast tits makes me sick to my stomach.” – Guard 2 “Did you get a load of that big Argonian whore?” – Guard 1 “Aye! She could knock you out with one those things!” – Guard 2 “Yeah, or smother you to death. What are you looking at bitch? Keep moving.” – Guard 1
“…and the next thing I knew, I was in the bed. There’s absolutely nothing between me taking that first drink and waking up… with her.” – Katherine “Well, we put you to bed about an hour after that. No one was left in there with you. Of course, the door wasn’t locked so she could have come in later.” – Muz-Ra “Do you remember seeing Arabhi last night, Red?” – Sabhira “No, now that you mention it, I don’t remember seeing her since yesterday morning.” – Muz-Ra
“I bet Milahme did.” – Sabhira “You don’t think…” – Muz-Ra “That Milahme killed Arabhi? No. No matter what I think of Milahme, she was in love with Arabhi.” – Sabhira. “Jealous rage maybe?” – Muz-Ra “No. It was reciprocal. Arabhi was just as attached to Milahme as Milahme was to her. They were inseparable.” – Sabhira “no accounting for taste…” – muttered Muz-Ra
“Do you think I did it? I don’t remember anything after all…” – Katherine “HA! With those noodley arms? You couldn’t choke the life out of a chicken!” – Muz-Ra “Well… that thing she did on top of the statue took some pretty unusual… ability!. And while standing on her head no less…” – Sabhira “Ah that’s just flexibility… and balance… and… depravity.” – Muz-Ra “What?!” – Katherine “Oh, don’t worry about it. But, you know, the Jarl’s going to HAVE to take you into custody.” – Sabhira
“I know. I was the only one there. But I can’t imagine hurting her – I didn’t even know her!” – Katherine “We’ll get to the bottom of it Katherine. Don’t worry. Just… be patient. We know you didn’t.” – Muz-Ra “It’s just… who did?” – Katherine. “Excuse me…” Dahleena
“There’s some guards here from Whiterun. They say they’re here for Katherine.” – Dahleena “Don’t worry about it Dahleena. We knew they would come. We’ll be up in just a minute. Oh, Dahleena, did someone ever get Kat’s clothes down?” – Sabhira “Oh, yes. They’re right beside the door. ” – Dahleena “Better get dressed Kat. You may be gone a while and you don’t want to spend time in the Whiterun jail dressed in just a robe.” – Muz-Ra
“Oh! Is the jail… rough?” – Sabhira “I’ve spent some time there. Depending on who’s in there, yes, I won’t lie. It can be.” – Muz-Ra “I’ll put my clothes on. But I don’t care who is in the cell with me. Maybe I deserve it.” – Katherine “AND MAYBE YOU DONT! Kat, we’ll get you out as soon as we possibly can. Be strong!” – Sabhira “…I wasn’t talking about the prisoners Kat.” – Muz-Ra
Well, it’s not a male, that’s for sure! I guess that’s a good thing – Katherine
And it’s not Sabhira, I’d know her butt anywhere… – Katherine
And it’s not… breathing. – Katherine
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!”
“Oh GODS! GET H and Ubergard!”- Muz-Ra “Katherine??” – Sabhira
“What’s going on Ubergard? WHAT!? Is she…” – H “Dead. Strangled.” – Ubergard “Please take her out Ubergard. How’s Kat Sabhira?” – H “I think she’s in shock.” – Sabhira “For gods sake, where’s her clothes?” – H “Last I saw they were hanging from the ceiling last night.” – Muz-Ra
“Let’s get Kat out of here Red.” – Sabhira “Guard, go over to Whiterun and inform the captain of the Guard immediately. We’re under the Jarl’s domain, he needs to be informed right away.” = H “Who is it Ubergard?” – H “Arabhi” – Ubergard “Arabhi? She’s Milahme’s lover! Milahme will be devastated!” – Muz-Ra “Milahme will be looking for blood. Kat’s blood.” – Sabhira
“Um… Sabhira… I’ve never actually drank anything alcoholic before.” – Katherine “What, THIS? Oh this is just spiced wine. It’s not like the hard stuff. Just grape juice with a kick.” – Sabhira
“It’s just that there’s this sort of story about this ancestor of mine. She sort of had a problem with it.” – Katherine “And are you her? No, you’re not. And you shouldn’t go believing every story you read anyway, right?” – Sabhira
“Yeah… I guess so. But there’s something else I’ve been meaning to ask you. I grew up around humans see. And I learned to speak from them and my parents…” – Katherine
“Oh, I see. You’re wondering why we don’t all speak in ‘This one’s and ‘Sabhira wishes you well’ right? Look, we ARE intelligent. We can speak any way we damn well please if we WANT to. Since we’re living in the land of the Nords, we might as well learn to speak like them too. It’s sort of the common tongue here, so thats what we use.” – Sabhira “But, before I came here, all the Khajiit I met…”
“Oh… Caravaneers I bet. They do that for the customers. You know how you can buy a bottle of local wine for 2 septims, but a bottle from Cyrodiil sells for 10? It’s like that. Exotic wares from exotic merchants. Plus it’s natural to speak a new language using the new words but in your native pattern. We’ve all been here for a long time and have overcome that tendency.” – Sabhira
“Yes, I see. That does make sense!” – Katherine “Now then, to you Kat, for a job well done and a future bright with promise!” – Sabhira
“And to you Sabhira. I really appreciate what you’ve done for me here. Friends?” – Katherine “Yes, to Friends!” – Sabhira
“…and with that, I’m going to take my leave of you Katherine. You’re in good hands with Sabhira. I have some work to do. You’re also welcome to stay in the Master Suite tonight if you’d like. It is getting late and Skyrim isn’t the safest place to be wandering around after dark.” – H
“You’re sure Mr. H? I’d really appreciate it. I know Whiterun is pretty close, but I wasn’t looking forward to a lonely walk back this late.” – Katherine
“Of course Kat. In the meantime, let me introduce you to a few of the girls.” – Sabhira
“This is Udaran, my best friend – and coincidentally our top model for Tails of the Khajiit. Udie, this is Katherine Managan – H just recruited her as a part-time model here” – Sabhira
“Pleased to meet you Katherine, though Sabhira is too generous. Last month her cover issue surpassed all of mine. Damned bitch.” – Udaran
“Got to keep you on your toes after all. And Kat may help do the same, we just finished a quick session and, if the subscribers like her look, she may well pass us all!” – Sabhira.
“I’ll keep an eye on her! I’m off, got something I need to finish before bed and I’m awfully tired. See you tomorrow Kat?” – Udaran
“Sure! Good to have met you Udaran!” – Katherine
“Oh, Milahme. I was just introducing Katherine Managan here to the girls. Katherine, this is Milahme – one of our models for Tails of the Argonian and very respected among the Scalies here. Milahame, Katherine has just signed up as a part-time model with an option.” – Sabhira
“Hello Milahme!” – Katherine, holding out her hand…
“Hello Katherine, see you don’t get in my way. Sabhira, you’ll show her the ropes then?” – Milahme
“Yes Milahme. You know you COULD be a little more kind to a new girl. You were new once.” – Sabhira
“We’ll see if she stays around long enough for me to care.” – Milahme walked off.
“Sorry Kat. Most of the Argonians are fine people. Milahme is just like that. Don’t worry about her.” – Sabhira
“…so I said, ‘by the same token, why don’t you have 6 tits? And what about males, why do they have nipples?’ HAH! It was great. Shut her right down.” – Muz-Ra
“Hehehe. That’s a good one Red! I’ll have to remember that one!” – Sabhira
“And how about you Kat, don’t you want to ask me about Argonian boobs? Sure you do. I see it in your eyes. Well, do you REALLY want to know what they’re for? REALLY REALLY want to know?” – Muz-Ra (also known as Red to her friends)
“Well, I… um. I really don’t think much ab…” – Katherine
“Since you’re a friend of Sabhiras, I’ll tell you. But quietly, Argonians like to keep it a secret…” Muz-Ra (leaning in and speaking conspiratorially)
“(shouting) HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW? HA! I have no idea. You’d have to ask the Creator up in Bethesda. But I can tell you this, they sure feel good to have someon…” – Muz-Ra
“Oh, I’m sorry Kat. I’m not always like this. We were just celebrating earlier and I may have drank a bit too much. But thanks for stopping by! If you need anything, you just find Red and I’ll get you anything you need.” – Muz-Ra
“Thanks Red, I really appreciate it. I was afraid…” – Katherine
“Oh please, no – that’s just Milahme. She’s a bitch. We have a few of those. But it’s not exclusive to Argonians!” – Muz-Ra
“Thanks Red. But it’s getting late and I saw Ubergard is still up. I want to introduce Katherine to her before she bumps into her later unprepared.” – Sabhira
“Oh! Yeah – good idea. That would be a helluva thing to wake up to!” – Muz-Ra (smiling) – “Goodnight Kat!”
“Ubergard?” – Katherine
“Oh, that’s just a nickname. Her real name is… is… hell, I forget what it is! She doesn’t talk much. She does some modelling for unusual shoots, but her primary job here is…”
“Oh, let me guess…” – Katherine (smiling)
And then Katherine looked up…
“Ubergard, this is Katherine Managan. She’s our new model. She’ll be staying with us tonight, and possibly moving in with us in the future. She’s staying in the Master tonight.” – Sabhira
Katherine looked up into the face of the largest Argonian she had ever seen.
“Katherine” – Ubergard
“Er… Hello Ubergard. Good to meet you.” – Katherine with only a hint of uncertainty.
The giantess bent over and peered deeply into Katherine’s eyes. For a moment, Katherine wasn’t sure what she should do. She felt like the small beady eyes were boring into her soul. But then, with a quick nod, Ubergard smiled and walked away.
“Ok, I didn’t want to frighten you, Katherine, but NOW you are truly accepted. If Ubergard doesn’t like you, you might as well leave immediately. But you passed her scrutiny and you’re as good as home now. What say we sit down over there and have a drink to celebrate?” – Sabhira
“How was that Mr. H? I think I had some good ideas in there somewhere.” – Katherine
“And you REALLY haven’t done this sort of thing before? Katherine, you are LITERALLY a Natural at this. I’ve had to spend hours with new girls just getting them to understand what I’m looking for. With you I just had to stand behind the camera and click!” – H
“Kat, you were AMAZING. I have to say when I first saw you, you looked so… unusual that I just didn’t see what Mr. H obviously did.” – Sabhira
“Aww, thanks Sabhira. I guess 20 years of repression and sexual frustration just tends to build up inside a girl’s head…” – Katherine
