38 Spies! (1/2)
[A/N: 1st Person POV]
I went down to eat breakfast, I somewhat felt some presences downstairs so I could already guess that some people woke up!
Judging by habit, Wulfur and Svidi would wake up before me. Back in the orphanage, our sleeping schedule was made by Nurina and no one could break it, so it became a habit.
Wulfur was eating breakfast alone, I joined him and ordered something.
”I went to your room for some hangover remedy.” He said.
Dammit now!
”I think I was still drunk and I saw things that shouldn't be there.” He continued.
Let's ignore that guy.
”You just can't keep it inside your pants can you?” He was still speaking.
”Fine, here, a hangover remedy.” I gave him all the potion left.
”Now I forgot everything this morning, everything is hazy.” He said.
When did this guy become so shameless?
Eating together for a while, the rest came walking like zombies and holding their heads from last night's rave, you guys deserve it.
”A courier for Jon Dare.” I could hear someone calling. Strange! this is my first time receiving a courier.
I went to the voice direction at the entrance of the inn to see who called, a person stood there and appeared to be a courier.
Couriers are people who deliver messages to other people, in Skyrim there is a -post office-like- system that works under every jarl, people hire them for communication purposes and sending messages around all holds, couriers also appeared in the game on many occasions.
”I am Jon.” I said as I faced the young man.
”Oh! I have been looking for. Got something I am supposed to deliver. Your hands only!” Said the courier, ”Let's see here. Ah! A letter, send by Nurina from Winterhold, to Jon Dare in the 'Winking Skeever'.”
As the young man was speaking, I started lagging, but I lagged once again.
First lag, this courier just now said the same words courier say in the game, the exact same words when couriers deliver something, I just didn't know how to feel for a second, should I be happy that something is the same from the game or should I just freak out from the similarity, this was mortifying.
The second thing is, Nurina sent a message, and she used a courier! Normally she uses the 'Thieves' Guild' to do her communications but she used a courier, strange!
I thanked the man and gave him a few copper septims, then went back to my seat.
Wulfur and Svidi were curious about who might send me a letter, we basically are a bunch of kids who just left the orphanage.
”It's from Nurina.” I said with a grin, ”Seems like even she couldn't help but miss this handsome young man.”
I was buffing my chest, yet Wulfur and Svidi were looking at me with disdain.
”He truly is headmistress's lapdog.” Svidi said and Wulfur started laughing.
I gained many nicknames over the years from always being around Nurina, the lapdog, the minion, the thrall. And these aren't the worst names I got, god knows what Grelod used to call me behind my back.
I was finished with opening the letter not enduring to wait any longer, hehe! Let's see what Nurina have for me!
'Jon,
Our friends in Winterhold has no business here so I am not able to make any use of them,
I forgot to buy some stuff from Riften, as Winterhold is no better than wasteland now,
Buy these stuff for me;
-...
-...
-...
….
...
..
.
-Nurina.'
Okaaaaay!
Where is the rest of this letter?
There got to be another letter, right?
”What is that? A shopping list!” Svidi who sneaked behind me snatched the letter from my hands yet I didn't respond.
I was overwhelmed with embarrassment now!
Svidi started laughing like a pirate and gave the letter to Wulfur who laughed too.
Guys! You can't do that to big bro, you know!
”She really did it this time!” Svidi started tearing from laughter.
”No one can make that guy know his place like her!” Wulfur also became my enemy.
I was so down right now! I thought she might say something good! It has been a month, you know! This is the longest time we were separated, you know!
”Elves!” I said to myself, these guys have no concept of time at all.
Some Altmer in the inn started eyeing me after I said that.
”Ehem!” I noticed, ”Dark Ones.” and corrected myself.
They got back to their business.
”Sigh! Svidi! Can you help me with shopping?” I said.
”Mhm!” Svidi nodded, well! She made fun of me so at least she has to apologize.
But that's is strange! Winterhold is a major settlement in the game, even if it's in deep decline, I am sure they have some thieves or anything around, and the college also must be bringing business.
For Nurina to send a courier and ask me to buy these stuff sure make me question the situation in Winterhold.
”Enough deep thinking now.” Wulfur said, ”Make sure you don't eat too much! You have a big match this time big boy!”
Why is he talking like a gym coach? I am sure I talk like that with him when I want to buff his morale.
