Isekai From Hell: Modded Skyrim

Inigo's smile fades as a far off look settles on his face as he stops just outside the door to Langley's house.

"Huff... I'm still trying to digest everything Langley told me. There is a lot to sort through. For now, we should assist Ms. Serana with returning home until he contacts us again. But..." Inigo says with a small smile returning to his face once more as he looks to me with a mischievous smile.

"I have a feeling we are at the beginning of a fantastic adventure-" Inigo starts to say before someone speaks behind us making us turn around in shock, making Inigo jump up and draw his blade as I rise my hands to launch a fireball when I recognize the person who snuck up on us.

"Excuse me, I have an important message to deliver, your eyes only." The Courier says as he hands me a letter.

"Seems someone from the Companions is in need of you. Quite impressive to get called out by name. Best of luck to you." The Courier says as he starts to walk off.

"My friend... I swear he is a deadra... What does the letter say?" Inigo asks with a shiver.

"I'm not sure, let me check." I say, but just from opening it, I can tell the letter is from Skjor just from it's scent alone.

[New Blood, I hope this letter finds you better than when I last saw you. We've got a problem, the Grand Moot has been moved up, and Kodlak has been very quiet lately. It's as if he's completely ignoring the Companions and he's been leaving at odd hours, all day and night. I think he's planning to do something during the Moot. I've also got word that some fellow "hunters" will be attending the Moot in secret, but I could use any back up you can provide. This could turn bloody. May the wolf watch over you.]

"Shit... This... This isn't good." I say to myself as Inigo stares at me intently.

"What? What is it, my friend?" Inigo questions impatiently.

"There's something happening in Whiterun with the Companions. And they're going to need me..." I say, as I feel a knot begin to form in my stomach.

"You are right, that is not good... What are we going to do? Because, despite how much I trust you, I would prefer not to go into a nest of vampires alone. I may be delicious, but I would prefer not to be another's meal." Inigo says, expressing his reluctance to carry on alone.

"You won't have to... We'll need to talk to Serana. See her thoughts on the matter." I say as I open the door to Langley's house, letting Inigo follow in behind me.

"Congratulations are in order, it's not everyday someone can summon a Khajiit, but I'll try my best to resist the urge to say, 'Here, Kitty, Kitty.'" Serana says jokingly as I notice Langley has already turned in for the night.

"That is not funny, Ms. Serana, I prefer only my partner calls me that." Inigo says, correcting Serana on the nickname.

"Ah, um... Sorry, Inigo... Won't happen again." Serana apologizes somewhat awkwardly.

"That is fine, you did not know. But there is something we must discuss." Inigo quickly accepts her apology with a smile before turning to me to explain the rest.

"Yes, I'm needing to detour to take care of something in Whiterun, meaning we'll be delayed getting you back home. We, were wondering about your thoughts on that, along with how important it is for you to get back home as quickly as possible?" I ask her as we all take a seat at Langley's small corner table.

Serana is quite for a moment as she seems to weigh her desire to return home against her desire to explore the rest of the world.

It seems like an eternity as she slowly rapts her finger nails across the table before pausing.

"Okay..." She says simply.

"Okay, what?" I ask confused as to her decision.

"Okay, we can make a detour, but we need to find a way to hide the scroll, it's a bit too obvious to be walking around a town in and I don't want to draw any more attention to myself than I have to." Serana explains as she nods to the scroll on her back.

"If it will shut you all up and allow me to finally get some sleep, you can have this! Not you, Inigo, you're fine, do whatever you want." Langley shouts at us as he pulls a rather large quiver and bow from beneath his bed.

"There, you can shove that gaudy thing in there, now go to sleep! *Snap*" Langley orders after throwing the large quiver and long bow in the table and snapping his fingers rather loudly, causing the all the flames but the ones in the fireplace to be smothered in an instant as he grumbles beneath his breath when he flops back into his bed.

"Well... That could work... But why does he have such a large bow and quiver?" I ask with a whisper.

"Langley told me he often hunts for his own food, but even I am impressed with his bow, look the arrows are longer than my arm! How does he even draw it?" Inigo whispers back in amazement as he pulls out one of the arrows and measures it against his outstretched arm. Showing how the fletching starts at the middle of his chest with the tip going just beyond the edge of his middle finger in his right hand.

"It is probably best if we ask him that tomorrow morning, until then, I shall keep watch." Serana whispers as she quietly empties the quiver of most of its arrows and gingerly slides in her Elder Scroll, which fits snugly into its new sheath.

"Huh, I'm shocked it fit." I say as I pull out a couple spare furs, handing them off to Inigo and Serana in order to keep warm.

"Thank you, my friend." Inigo says as he lays his Infront of the fire, before curling into a ball on top of it like a common house cat.

While Serana simply nods as she repositions her chair to look over everyone as she wraps herself in the fur.

Lastly, I take one and actually follow Inigo's lead, getting on the other open spot nearby the fireplace and curling into a ball as well, after being compelled to walk around the fur three times before finally feeling comfortable enough to go to sleep.
