U.O.T.W. Chapter 294 Sasha's Send Off

  •  

    That evening, when nearly everyone was sitting around the table, Sabre looked across towards the stairway which led down to the living quarters.
    “Just what are they up to?”

     

    Ebony shrugged her shoulders, then picked up her flask of mead. But when she tried to take a drink from it, the smell turned her stomach. Her face screwed up as she placed it back on the table then pushed it away.
    “Oh, I can’t drink this”.

     

    Sotek laughed then passed across the jug which he was drinking from.
    “Here, it’s water”.

     

    Ebony gratefully took it then filled up a glass.
    “I thought you were drinking mead?”

     

    Aela smirked at him as she responded.
    “Not all the time, he’s a bit of a soft touch really”.

     

    Sotek gave her a slight shove in return for her jesting.
    “I can drink you under the table”.

     

    Farkas burst out laughing.
    “Anyone can drink her under the table”.

     

    Aela suddenly found herself on the defensive as the others all joined in on the attack.
    “I’m not that bad”.

     

    Vilkas scoffed at her.
    “No? What about when we were at the lake? Me and you, Farkas and Sotek. Hey, Sotek! You remember when you found out that we were werewolves?”

     

    “What? You mean when I discovered just how much of a bitch Aela really is?”

     

    “Oi, you’re supposed to protect me, not call me names. Damn, I lost my fork”. The next second Sotek screamed out and slammed his hand on the table. Aela had a big grin on her face as she turned to the others.
    “Oh, here it is, it’s embedded in Sotek’s leg”.

     

    At that moment, the Harbinger and Sasha came up the stairway. Kodlak heard the yell and called out to the Huntress.
    “Aela, are you stabbing him in the leg again”.

     

    “No Harbinger, it was an accident”. She replied tactfully.

     

    Kodlak raided his eyebrows as he stared owl like across the hall at her.
    “Really?”

     

    Aela smirked as she turned to Sasha and winked at her.
    “Yes, I was aiming for something else”.

     

    Sotek gulped loudly then shifted away from her slightly, but before he could say anything, Sasha, who was struggling not to laugh, moved to the centre of the hall.
    “I’ve made a decision about what I’m going to do. Harbinger, the Fighters Guild in Cyrodiil, would they really let me join?”

     

    “Yes, like I said, they know you’re a werewolf, so they might be a bit mistrustful, but they’ll accept you as a member”. He then glanced over towards Sotek and slightly nodded his head at the Argonian.

     

    Sotek discretely nodded back and joined in on the conversation.
    “Look, it’s obvious that you’ve thought about it and talked with the Harbinger at some length on the subject. Come with me and Aela to Cyrodiil. We’ll head to Bruma and have a look. If you like, you could come back with us or even stick around Bruma for a few days. There’s nothing to say you have to decide now, or even when we get there for that matter”.

     

    She glanced over to Aela who gave her a bit of a smile, then she cast her mind back to when they first met.
    “We fight like two dogs”.

     

    Sotek smiled at her warmly, but then he laughed.
    “You are two dogs, well bitches actually”.

     

    Aela slapped him on the back of his head.
    “Better being a bitch than a dirty, slimy mongrel. Yes, we argued, but we’ve been through a lot since then”.

     

    Sasha readily agreed then sat at the table to eat. An hour later, Aela gave Sotek a quick kiss then called out to the Harbinger.
    “We’re having a girl’s night, we’re gonna send Sasha off in style”.

     

    Sotek smirked at her.
    “In style or in a drunken stupor hanging off the carriage?”

     

    Aela shot him a glare then looked across the table.
    “Has anyone seen my fork?”

     

    Gradually, throughout the course of the night, the girls became more and more rowdy. Farkas banged on Aela’s door but that just caused them to scream out laughing. He gave up trying to ask them to calm down, so he just slinked off to his room and slammed his door.

     

    Once Farkas placed his weapons on the rack, he stripped his armour off then jumped on the bed. The wooden supports groaned under his weight, but there were various strange sharp cracks as well. Within seconds, he felt a strange sticky gooey liquid all down his back. On investigation, he found ten crushed, raw eggs, all placed strategically underneath his sheet. “Aela, you bloody bitch”.

     

    A second later, Aela and the others burst into his room laughing, as they pelted him with eggs. He yelled out at them as he held his arm up to defend himself but within seconds they fled towards the safety of her room. Aela screamed out as they ran.
    “Sotek, save me!”

     

    Sotek, who was momentarily ago laying on his bed listening to the ruckus, groaned out loudly. He prised himself off his bed then made his way to Aela’s room. Outside in the living quarters, Veezara was standing at the end of the corridor, totally unsure as to what to do.
    “What’s going on?”

     

    “Aela”.

     

    “Hmm? Pardon?”

     

    Sotek laughed as he saw Farkas storm over to Aela’s room, leaving behind him what looked like a trail of eggshells across the floor.
    “Aela’s going on. Come on, we’ll have to calm him down”. Sotek approached Farkas but found it hard not to laugh. The best he could muster was a smirk. “Hey, you’re leaving a trail of eggs everywhere. Go get cleaned up, I’ll sort her out”.

     

    At that point, Tilma, who was in the Harbinger’s study, discussing the past week’s events, started opening the main door. Kodlak however quickly pushed it ajar so they couldn’t be seen.
    “Shh, let’s see how he copes. Let Sotek sort it out”.

     

    Tilma looked down the hallway, and nearly burst out laughing when she saw Farkas’s face covered in egg.
    “Oh, she’s really done it this time, he’s furious. But don’t you think your setting Sotek up for a fall? Aela, Kul-et and Ebony are bad enough, Rikki’s in there too, but that Sasha as well?”

     

    “If I can sort it, then I’m sure he can”. Kodlak said, as he wisely held the door ajar.

     

    Sotek knocked on Aela’s door to which she opened. She tried to look serious, but what with the giggling from the others she failed hopelessly.
    “Yeshh?”

     

    “You’re drunk, and out of control”.

     

    “And you are a slimy, no good, hunk of a lizard. Kiss me”. She leaned forwards but fell into him. Sotek grabbed her before she could fall and held her tightly for support.

     

    “Did you really have to pelt him with eggs?” He asked as he grinned at the drunken She-Wolf.

     

    She nodded vigorously which just made her head spin.
    “Yes, Rikke dared me, so I had to. Oh, I don’t feel well”.

     

    “Kul-et, Sasha, take her back inside”. The next moment Sotek whistled. Fang jumped up from the corner and came bounding out of Aela’s room towards him. The moment the wolf could smell the eggs, he proceeded to start licking the egg off the floor. Gradually, he followed the trail to Farkas’s room which Sotek simply opened the door to, thereby giving Fang access to the eggs on Farkas’s bed.

     

    Aela’s door slammed as the girls carried on with their drinking, but Sotek wasn’t finished with them. As he knocked on the door a second time, Aela threw open the door then lightly thumped him in the chest.
    “That’s my dog, ermm wolf. You don’t call him, I do. Now what the hell do you want lizza, lizz, you?”

     

    “It’s getting late, calm it down a bit”.

     

    “Ermm, are you the Harbinger?”

     

    “No, but you know he would agree with me, so. I’m not saying stop, just calm it down”.

     

    Aela glared at him for a second, then smiled.
    “Fuck off. No, give me a kiss, then fuck off”. He lent across and gave her a quick peck on the side of her face, but suddenly the door slammed shut.

     

    Sotek knocked on it again, which caused it to fly open as Aela snapped at him.
    “Now bloody what?”

     

    “I was only going to ask if you had enough furs?”

     

    “Yes, we have plenty. I swear, if you knock this bloody door again… Oh, Hi Veezara, Kul-et’s busy at the moment, getting rather sloshed I might add. Might add, but I’m not going to. What the hell was I saying?”

     

    Sotek grinned at Veezara then turned back to Aela.
    “You said if I knock on this bloody door again?”

     

    “Oh yea, thanks babe. If you knock on this bloody door again, I swear we’ll drag you in here and we’ll bloody gang strip ya. Now piss off, love you and I’ll see you in the morning”. Aela scrunched her face up and glared at the wall behind Sotek. His face was too blurry for her to focus on but for all purposes the wall was ideal.

     

    Sotek gulped slightly as the door was slammed in his face yet again. Having no doubt to Aela’s sincerity, he spoke quietly to Veezara.
    “She means it. Let’s go”. However, as they headed back along the corridor, they saw Vilkas as he came downstairs. Sotek gave Veezara a quick nudge then called out to Vilkas. “We’re just getting the girls some extra furs. Can you ask Aela if they want some flasks of water for the morning?”

     

    Vilkas, who was none the wiser to recent events readily agreed.
    “Sure, that’s no trouble”.

     

    The moment however that he knocked the door, Aela cursed out loudly.
    “Right, that’s it!” She threw the door open and grabbed a completely surprised Vilkas. Seconds later he was dragged inside, and her door slammed shut. Sotek and Veezara both laughed as well as Tilma and the Harbinger who were still hiding behind his door while Aela screamed out. “Grab him!”

     

    All everyone could hear was Aela and the others screaming as Vilkas tried desperately to fight them all off. Within a minute, a naked, embarrassed Nord, who went by the name of Vilkas, was thrown out of Aela’s room into the corridor. He yelled out at Sotek who, along with Veezara, was still creasing up with laughter, as Vilkas ran to his own room. Aela and the girls were rolling across the floor laughing as they stared at Vilkas’s clothes scattered across her room.

     

    Once they stopped laughing, Veezara looked back down the corridor at the Harbinger’s room.
    “Hmm. Why didn’t he stop it?”

     

    “Who?”

     

    “What? The Harbinger? Surely you all can’t mess around like that? Hmm?”

     

    Sotek sat by a small table then offered Veezara a glass of water. As they drank it, Sotek explained as simply as he could.
    “We often play around. Me, Aela and the others. It helps to relax, it eases tension and helps to forget fears. Out there, we can’t. You slip up out there and you’re dead. But here, it’s safe, so we play up”.

     

    “The Dark Brotherhood never did. Everything was serious to them, all the time”.

     

    Sotek couldn’t help but smirk.
    “Yess, and look what happened to them. If you want to get anywhere with Kul-et, try to make her laugh every day”. With that Sotek got up then after wishing Veezara a good night, he headed off to his room.

     

    Once everyone had settled down, Kodlak and Tilma came out of his study. Farkas was asleep in the Whelps section so they checked the damage wrought by Aela’s onslaught. However, Fang had licked up every possible trace of egg. Tilma gave a smile as she looked over to Aela’s door.
    “Knock on her door, see if she’s ok”.

     

    Kodlak shook his head as he headed off back to his study.
    “By Ysgramor’s tooth I will.”
