I'm getting quite swept up in this! It's delightful! I love the methodical manner in which Julian is investigating. Ah, the old soldier professionally conducting her JAG investigation. Lots to love.

“Please, call me Julian, sir,” I said, putting a slight pleading note in my voice. I was getting pretty tired of this hero stuff. “I’m no hero, just an old, broken-down soldier looking for a new reason to live.”

Beneath his steel helm, the Watchman’s teeth gleamed in a grin. “I hear you, Julian,” he answered, his voice warming. “Please, how may I help you?”

Beautifully done, with the ring of truth. I loved that you gave the watchman a name. And I was gratified to see the small investment in a relationship pay off for Julian as the guard walked away so Julian could do her business.

He smiled crookedly at me. “That’s why it’s cheap,”

I see the rules of real estate pertain, even in Cyrodiil - location, loction, location.

I drew out a couple of lockpicks and tickled the lock into submission.

This wonderful passge quite tickled my fancy.

A folded parchment fluttered to the floor when I picked up the book.

Just a gem of a great description - fluttered to the floor.
