“He does not like to travel to such…” Their gaze shifted across the environment before them. While there were many ways they could think to voice their disdain, brevity and tact seemed more appropriate. “Far-away lands.”

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

"Why's that?" Sophie didn't spend weeks digging through dilapidated tombs to miss out on this negotiation. Of course, it's impossible to negotiate with a man who isn't present. Now, she has to put stock in a Thalmor agent. And even worse, a vampire.

“You are a terrible liar.”

❛ me ? jealous ? pfft. . . as if. ❜

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

“Somebody’s sounding jealous.”

❛ you’re a few inches taller at best, don’t let it get to your head- ❜

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

“Is your neck not accustomed to the difference? Should I stoop over for you?”

[𝐓͟𝐡͟𝐞͟ ͟𝕹͟𝐞͟𝐜͟𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐦͟𝐚͟𝐧͟𝐜͟𝐞͟𝐫͟ @WeaponxfWar]

❛ quite a surprise, finding someone taller than me. . . very rare. ❜

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Staring back.

[𝐓͟𝐡͟𝐞͟ ͟𝕹͟𝐞͟𝐜͟𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐦͟𝐚͟𝐧͟𝐜͟𝐞͟𝐫͟ @WeaponxfWar]

staring at @steorfa

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Admittedly, the description could fit a number of Thalmor officials. It was the description alongside the circumstances which revealed the answer to Hessunae. Beneath their mask they frowned. “That would be an unreliable meeting to broker.”

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

Most would be intimidated by a vampire looming over them, but Sophie remains stoic, more focused on chasing down her memories. These are tucked between the fog. "About as tall if not taller than you. Well-spoken, strange, blond and pasty. The sort of man who knows too much."

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Currently they’re undercover in Winterhold of all places, disguised as a tavern girl in the Frozen Hearth. It’s miserable.

So if anybody needs any drinks brought their way, at least be polite about it.

“Can you describe him?” While not leaning forward quite as much as before, Hessunae had drawn a little closer to eye Sophie as she spoke.

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

"No, he was incredibly cryptic about his identity, but let it slip that a red-eyed Thalmor named Hessunae would know where to find him. I don't imagine he meant a Dunmer zealot."

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

For a few long moments the vampire just stared down at Sophie. Then, their arms crossing over their armor, they played along. “And did this man have a name? Or do you expect me to just unlock the secrets to omnipotence?”

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

"Yes, one of yours. There was a man I met ages ago, he was Thalmor, a scholar. We discussed the Mythic Dawn for some time. He had a book of some interest to my patron, but I had nothing to trade for it in the moment. Now, I have a trade, but I can't find the man."

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

None of the taverns have had any decent wine. Just weak meads, flat ales, and stale food.

They hate it here.

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Harassment suggests one would see them coming.

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

Getting harassed by a vampire after the sun goes down, very original

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

What could an Aldmeri agent deployed to Skyrim be up to? Stay out after curfew to find out.

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

It isn’t so bad when the people in charge have good hearts, or when the work doesn’t chip away at your soul.

Which is to say: now is not a good time to swear any oaths to the Dominion. At the very least the Thalmor pay for their drinks.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝓕𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝒞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 @xftheforgotten]

always believed in the queen, but never the dominion itself. too many corrupted & twisted people. . .

she, herself, doesn’t have ties to any oaths or people. can’t even imagine how that goes

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Fortunately they have been oathbound to the Dominion for centuries, and they are rather used to the job by now.

Unfortunately there are no clauses in their oath which would exempt them from obeying the Thalmor now that they are in power.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝓕𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝒞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 @xftheforgotten]

hmn. . that sounds like a— complicated job.

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Agent. They wouldn’t be too successful at undercover work if everybody knew who they worked for.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝓕𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝒞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 @xftheforgotten]

they some secret agent to kill or openly hired to stab for the thalmor ?

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

They are not exactly in a position to break their oaths.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝓕𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝒞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 @xftheforgotten]

. . . stabbing can solve problems. . but for the thalmor* ¿

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

Sometimes you just have to stab people for the Thalmor because your oath doesn’t let you refuse.

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

“My patron?” There was a long pause wherein the vampire just stared down at the other, unblinking and perfectly still. “Do you mean the Aldmeri Dominion?”

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

Sophie scoffs, but their petty squabbling's beyond the point. "My patron wants a deal with your patron."

[𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 @steorfa]

“You are that short.” The Altmer remained leaned forward a second longer before straightening out. “So what did you want?”

[blast radius victim @SOLARSPRITES]

"I just don't think I'm that short." Really, she's about average and *one* of them is needlessly tall.
