An Unbroken Story

The first meeting and some embarrassment

I head towards Windhelm, when I hear noise coming from the Bannered Mare."What can I get you?" The innkeeper asks."Oh... Nothing... I am good!" I say, spotting a... lady in the corner. Hot... "Wait... when did I like girls?" I think to myself."What are you staring at me for?" she asks."Oh... um... heh. Sorry." I break a sweat."Are you okay? Are you not sick?" she asks, nicely.My wrists start bleeding again."I... had a bit of trouble..." I tell her.I take off my gloves. Her eyes widened. She tears some fabric and wraps it around my wrists. "Is that better... I never got your name." she says."I'm Athena...""Is that better, Athena?" she asks. She is too close... Why am I so attracted to her?! I'm a girl... I should be interested in Rolaf, or some other guy, not another girl!"Are you alright? Your face is really red." she sits back down. I'm blushing? No, no, no! "I am fine..." I say."Hm. If so, why don't we have a fist-fight? 100 gold to whoever wins? Deal?" she grins."Fine then." I say back. She punches me."I NEVER SAID I WAS READY!" I say."A nord should always be on her guard." she laughs. We fight for 30 minutes or so. I come out on top."That was an impressive battle there." she says. She hands me 100 gold."Your face is red again." she notes.GAH! Stop blushing...I ran out of there and... ahem... into Rolaf. We fall over."Are you alright? Your face is red. YOU HAVE A BLACK-EYE! Did you get a bounty!?" he extends his hand. I take it."Um... Rolaf... I met a girl and now I can't stop blushing. I got into a fist-fight with her. Whoever won got 100 gold. I won." I take it and get up."You like girls?!" he asks, surprised."Yeah... I know right... It is weird..." I say."Heh. I have a gift idea for you then." he grins."Um... what?""It is a surprise! I am not gonna tell you!"Rolaf and I head to... RIFTEN?"Why are we HERE?!?" I ask."I'm gonna get you a gift." he smirks.He comes back with an amulet."What is this, Rolaf?" I look at him."An amulet of Mara. You can-" he bursts out laughing."WHAT?!" I shake him."You can ask her to marry you with it!" he gasps for air.I burst out laughing, too."So... what is her name?" he smirks."I... don't know!" I realize."You have a crush on a girl and you don't even know her name?!" He turns serious. "Yeah..."He pushes me back onto his horse and we head back to Whiterun."Noooooo! Rolaf!" I start turning red again."Get her name.""Noooooo! Rolaf!" I say again."Get.Her.Name. I might give you some gold." he says."Ugh, fine. But you will give me gold. Hm... 10 gold!" I say, hopping off the horse.I ask her name."I'm Uthgerd the Unbroken. Why? And is that an Amulet of Mara, I see?" she says."Uh... no! Maybe? YES!" I say, turning very red.She laughs.
