The forum wandering insomniac wakes to the treat of another post, wonderful.

Well, I think you've weakened me." she said slowly.

"Thanks?" I replied.


It was all great, no surprise but having been around since before the dinosaurs I've heard a lot of different ways to "say" what Pene was trying to say but that's a new one. Awesome, I believe the next time I find a need to share that particular sentiment, if that should happen, I will borrow this line. And of course I will make sure that whoever I might be saying it to knows that I am quoting a daedra, just to make it interesting.

Thanks BH, a nice smile to take back to that infernal bed that seems to be fighting me like Athynae fights Athlain. Good night, yea right, for you I hope anyway.

Fairly dues...Excellently done...

For some reason, my head feels like wool this morning...I did, nevertheless, thoroughly enjoy that...

Brilliant matey...

I second the Athynae's quote...Beautifully done that...And I know exactly what she meant (I meant Pene but Athynae too biggrin.gif )...Truly brilliant mate...

That could complicate things...

Pene becoming more human is a good touch. Having an emotionless psycopath as a support character isn't ideal but an ex-emotionless pstcopath... You've done it smoothly too, I suppose I had noticed, but only sort of until you point it out.

Their interaction is fun to read too. Good stuff.

I love how the common ground between mortals and Daedra is a source of friction for Seth and Pene. I wouldn’t expect him to forge an uncomplicated relationship.

I enjoyed Seth’s explanation that the Daedra and Aedra were once more alike. My very limited understanding is that it was their choices that separated them, not their source. Of course, I could be completely wrong about what Seth was saying.

I think you've weakened me. What a very Daedric way of putting it!

Hmmm odd I'd say! Both Athynae and McBadgere claims to know "exactly" what Pene meant by telling Seth he weakened her....I'm not so sure though! But that's me (being around that darn assassin for quite some time has made me suspicious biggrin.gif )

Very well described interaction between S and P though! they are like old mates...hehe

I like Seth is feeling more like his old self, that is admirable considering what he's been through!

I say to you BH what i said to the Dachshund:

may I have some more, Sir?

I believe- whether he desires them or no- complications are going to be arriving in Seth's life. For example:

QUOTE
"It's...comforting...in this mortal form." She said chewing on a bit of scrib jerky.


And of course the passage that caps the piece and that others have rightly quoted.

Another I would point out as having significance to me is this:

QUOTE
This running away from it all...its new to me too. So, I guess we'll just try our best to keep each other company and in check. At least we don't have to go it alone I suppose." I offered meekly.


Here we begin to understand just why it is that Seth keeps a "vicious Daedra" around. Not even the (former) Grandmaster of the Morag Tong likes to be alone- all the time.

Wonderful as always.

I do wonder how he's going to feel when he looks back from the sea at the land that has been his life. Just ponderings...

I am not sure if this was meant to be funny but I found myself laughing, and as my 12 yr old has said, "Ya think?"

A very nice segment to set him up to be off for ... what comes next. I do hope he enjoys the challenges of the isle.

Ready for more...

Yup! What Athynae just said!....And nice! Seth is cooking, I remember I had him clean the house in some of my chapters! biggrin.gif Yeah yeah....being skilled around the house is a good thing.

Now the last sentence worries me a bit, what does he mean by "everything"? There are things that cannot be left behind because they stick to you, like glue...so????

Anyway this is gonna be very interesting...because I have my thoughts about my favorite assassin....and his knack for...ehhh things? wink.gif

I like what you did with Ponius. He came across as bright and clearly knew something odd was happening but with a 'recommendation' from the duke he wasn't going to press Seth over it. I imagine most people who would choose to live on Solstheim are running from something anyway, I'm sure Seth will fit right in...

Good part, I look forward to the continuation.

I recalled that I had rejected certain advances the night before, and realized that as different as the daedra were to mortals; certain things were universal. Like emotions.

...The truth is...before I met you. I didn't know what being alone truly felt like. It was the needs for the weak. Well, I think you've weakened me." she said slowly.


Quoted both of the above for the deep insights you flawlessly and subtly wove through that section - masterful job on that !!


QUOTE

the Imperial Cult would never turn away a soul in need. Especially not one who has as much anonymous influence as yourself.” He said, indicating that he was no fool, and that my clothes did not fool him.



Really great line, and one that has to let Seth know that to hide from his past totally - he'd have to do better than just assume a new role. I don't see someone of Seth's brilliance holing up long in an Imperial Fort without either taking it over or flattening it to the ground, lol. Awesome Write !!

Dunno, I've only been reading his adventure for a short while, but I just can't see this somehow...Until recently-Rich, boss-man building a cabin?...Made me laugh that did...

Looking forward to seeing where this goes...

Nice one!... biggrin.gif ...

I agree, I didn't see him taking that option either. He has to find somewhere to hide that he can use his genius mind and move about. I wish he'd go to Cyrodiil !!!! But he won't/can't, Selene and Treydog/Athlain are still in Morrowind.

Nice touch. The interlude to see what he's left behind works, especially because it is very much Athynea with the different writing style (and indeed writer).

Very enjoyable, I wonder if she is to become a regular feature...

Ooh, a crossover Athynae !! Awesome Write !! You have very thoroughly become immersed in Athynae's personality, we can recognize it anywhere without the name every being written !! Wonderful surprise !! (I wonder if she'll see the stain?)
