"And the Night Mother who, according to everything we know, will only speak to the Listener, just spoke, right now, to you?"
"She said I was the one."
"By Sithis." Astrid said, taken aback.
"So what about the Motierre fellow, should we go see him?"
"What? No, no! Listen, I don't know what's going on here, but I am the mistress of this Sanctuary and you follow my orders. I-I need some time to think about this. Go do some work for Nazir."
Jade could help, but make a face at the order. "Fine...", she halfheartedly trudged to the dining hall. "Got anymore contracts, Nazir?"
"I've got two. One's a bard named Luburk and a vampire named Hern."
"Tell me about Luburk."
"He's an orc and by far one of the worst bards in all of Skyrim. Apparently so many people sought his death, Astrid had to hold a lottery to see who got the contract." Nazir chuckled.
"What of Hern?"
"He's a vampire, works at lumber mill near Falkreath. You'll never find him far from his companion, Hurt, also vampire. The contract is for the male, but you'll probably have to contend with the female, too. Happy hunting."
