Cari's Dragonborn

2

The morning was crisp and refreshing when Arnbjorn left his house to walk to the Bannered Mare .

Breezehome  was his first house in Skyrim and would always be his home . The other houses were just safe houses ,where  he could unwind sometimes .

He remembered how he had saved up to buy the house that no one wanted . It wasn't in good shape when he entered it for the first time .

He smiled as he remembered how Lydia , his Housecarl had wrinkled her nose in disgust when she saw how it looked inside .  She made his day that day with her comical complaints about the Pigsty as she called it .

" Morning ,Traveler ," a guard's greeting  pulled him out of his musings .

He looked at the man and nodded " Good morning , how goes the watch ?", he asks amiably.

" Quite well actually , no Vampires or Dragons had come this night ".

" That is good news , I just hope the Dawnguard can get rid of the Vampire Menace , they are really becoming a thorn in everyone's side now ".

The guard nodded " Yes ,that is true , but same can be said of the Dragons , do you think they will breed and we'll be getting to see Dragonlings then ".

Arnbjorn smiled " I don't know ,maybe the Dragonborn would have killed them before that ".

The guard shook his head " Not likely , I just wonder who he is , I haven't seen him yet " .

Arnbjorn shrugged " Maybe you'll see him someday ".

With that he left the guard while whistling a soft tune .

Only some of the guards in Whiterun knew he was the Dragonborn  . He was glad about that because he hated to be the centre of attention . He was just that sort of person .

Cari was already up when he got there . Dressed in her warm clothes  she looked just about ready to face  the roads of Skyrim.

He frowned when his heart fluttered madly as he looked at her . Falling in love with some stranger  from another time was not what he needed right now . He wasn't even sure if he wanted to get married either. So things like this should not try and make him falter in his path to fulfill his destiny . Trying to keep a straight face he walked towards her .

" Good morning , " she says amiably when he reaches  her .

" Yes , good morning ", he says and feels half disappointed when his voice sounds gruff and a bit unfriendly . He hoped she didn't hear it .He was wrong . One look at her told him that .

Cari frowns and feels a little put out when his voice gave  her  the impression that he wasn't in a good mood this morning . She wondered what made him angry . Was it her half truth of a story about being from the future , maybe?.

Yeah, she'd twisted her story a little and of course she omitted the fact that she was from another plane of existence ,but even if she owed him her life , she couldn't tell him that where she was from his world was a Video game .

" Hulda ,what is on the menu this morning ?, I'd like to eat before I leave here ".

Cari heard  the more friendly tone that he used  towards  Hulda and came to the conclusion that he only  had a problem with her this morning .

She started to regret telling him her story  . Now he was angry and she was the sore tooth that stuck out . Or ,well, the unwanted Giant Mammoth in the room.

She listened quietly as Hulda told him what he wanted .
She wasn't surprised when he didn't order for her as well . She was really not welcome today .
Lucky for him she had already ate .
