Westley

"So... it's like a vampire blade? I suppose that would be useful. Does it use the energy to power the sword, or to give you energy and heal you?"

Westley grinned wickedly "It drains your opponents energy, and uses the energy it drained to restore yours. So, yes. It's a vampire blade."

He put the sword back in its sheathe.

Kayla nodded. "H,mm. Okay. Whatever gives you an edge, I suppose." She was suddenly very aware of the weight Dawnbreaker had on her hip. She really had no place to judge.

"How did you get that blade? I don't suppose you enchanted it yourself?"

[King Of Beasts]

Westley

"How did you get that blade? I don't suppose you enchanted it yourself?"

Westley's eyes widened with excitement. If there was one thing he loved more than showing off his blade, it was telling the story if how he got it.

"It's a bit of a long story. It all started on a ship-inn in the waterfront District of the Imperial City. I was staying there for the night because I couldn't find the key to my house. This inn was a functioning ship, pretty cool if you ask me. Anyway, this all started with a tale that the owner, Ormil, made up."

Westley swatted at a mosquito trying to bite him before continuing. "I went to bed in the inn. When I woke up, the ship-inn had been cast out to sea. Apparently it had been hijacked by a band if thieves calling themselves 'The Blackwater Brigands'. Long story short, I fought there leader, Selene, and bested her in combat. I decided to take her sword. I had to kill her whole crew to get it."

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla's eyes shot up at Westley's story.

"Impressive," she murmured. "I'll bet the guards were pretty upset you stole their thunder," she laughed.

Westley

"Impressive, I'll bet the guards were pretty upset you stole their thunder,"

Westley let out a booming laugh. "The guards in the city are more concerned with catching the Gray Fox than dealing with more important problems."

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla tilted her head with confusion. "They Grey Fox? What is that?"

[King Of Beasts]

Westley

Westley's eyes widened with shock. "You haven't heard if the Gray Fox?! He's the leader of the thieves guild. The nobleman hate him, but the peasants and beggars love him. Nobody knows what he looks like because he always has a gray cowl on his face. Some say he isn't real, others believe he is just an amazing thief. Those are just rumors though, don't bother with them." Westley crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla stared at Westley for a moment. "Well, that was, uh, a mouthful of explanation," she laughed. "As long as he stays away from my things, I won't bother him." She mimicked Westley and crossed her arms, grinning.

"Got a girlfriend in the Imperial City? Maybe a pretty brown-haired woman who's fond of short-tempered men?" she elbowed him and laughed.

Westley

"Got a girlfriend in the Imperial City? Maybe a pretty brown-haired woman who's fond of short-tempered men?"

Westley choked and turned a bit red "No. Who are you talking about, I don't have a girlfriend. I live alone on the waterfront district." He started grinning like a madman, and noticed Kayla was mimicking him.

"I'd mimic you, but I'd probably get you upset with my horrible expressions."

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla laughed at Westley's reaction. "Boy, I don't think you could mimic this gorgeous face if you tried!" She laughed even harder at her own joke, and leaned on Westley for support. She straightened up and wiped her eyes.

"But seriously, no girlfriend? Surely the Imperial City is teeming with lovely women." She raised her eyebrows. "Unless you're not looking for a woman. I'm sure there are many prospects there, no matter what your tastes are." She gave Westley a half smile.

"But seriously, no girlfriend? Surely the Imperial City is teeming with lovely women. Unless you're not looking for a woman. I'm sure there are many prospects there, no matter what your tastes are."

Westley turned a bit more red than before. "I'm looking for a woman, but who wants to go near the anti-social freak who lurks in corners." Westley looked away from Kayla and stared at the ground with a depressed look on his face.

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla snickered. "You do have that whole 'broody personality' thing going on. Some women find that attractive." She leaned in slightly. "Mystery breeds curiosity. As long as you don't over-do it, that can work to your advantage." She looked thoughtful for a moment.

"For example, if you find yourself in an inn and see a woman you desire, don't stare at her. Glance at her fleetingly, for a small moment, then look away. Don't stare. Staring is creepy." Kayla frowned at Westley's hair. "Comb your hair too, but leave it slightly disheveled." She leaned in and sniffed. "Maybe wash your dog as well. I'm the last person to say anything about washing, but most women don't desire a man who smells like a wet dog."

Westley was as red as ever. "I don't stare! I can manage my hair, but not smelling like a wet dog isn't possible. I could scrub all of my skin off, and I'd still smell like a dog! I can't help it. That's the way I smell. I don't even own a dog!"

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla laughed. "Don't get so defensive! I'm only trying to help! And if you can't help the smell, then you need to invest in some musk or something." She poked his belly, even knowing she would only hit his glass armor. "Before we leave on this expedition, find yourself a wench or something. Release some of that tension you have! Good gods, man!"

[King Of Beasts]

Westley

"Before we leave on this expedition, find yourself a wench or something. Release some of that tension you have! Good gods, man!"

Westley snickered "That 'tension' is my personality, and the reason women usually avoid me. I couldn't ever release any of the stress built up inside of me. I was born with it."

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla rolled her eyes. "Suit yourself," she sighed. "I think you'd calm down if you had a roll in the hay, though. If I see any worthy prospects, I'll send them your way." She returned Westley's smirk. "Just lighten up in the meantime."

"Suit yourself, I think you'd calm down if you had a roll in the hay, though. If I see any worthy prospects, I'll send them your way. Just lighten up in the meantime."

Westley sniggered. "The day I calm down will be the day of my death, and I intend on staying alive for a while. Trust me, all the anger you see is just programmed into me."

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Kayla gave up and threw her hands in the air. "Then I guess you're doomed, until a woman who is obviously mad, comes up to you and attacks you with kisses or something." She rubbed her forehead. "You're giving me a headache, boy." She laughed. "I've never met a man so intent on NOT getting into bed with a woman!"

"I never said I don't want to get in bed with a woman, I simply said it won't accomplish anything. I'm always in a [censored] mood! It's just the way I am." Westley smirked at Kayla. She had obviously given up on trying to convince him to release his anger.

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Had Westley not had on his armor, she would have given him a friendly punch on the shoulder. "Then maybe all you need is a good fight. Sometimes knocking parts together doesn't do the trick." She shrugged. Talking about sex was NOT what she had in mind for the morning. She mentally chastised herself for allowing the conversation to turn to it.

"So..." she said awkwardly. "An albino Khajiit is pretty rare to see, I've heard. I wonder if she lives here?"
