Katia: Depart

You pack away the invisibility potion in the safest part of your bag and very, very, very carefully leave Quill-Weave’s house. You can’t imagine how you’d feel if you broke something expensive due to your own clumsiness.

Before you leave, of course, you have a couple more questions.

Most importantly, you check that the City Guard isn’t after you or anything. I mean, you evidently made quite a scene.

Quill-Weave says not to worry about it. You technically broke a few laws, yeah, but even the guards were all really impressed by what you did. Nobody thought it was physically… possible. The Countess might’ve had something to say about it, but you ran away as soon as she showed up.

You probably did more damage to your reputation than your legal standing, but you shouldn’t worry about that too much. There’s another female Khajiit who lives in this town, and people keep thinking it was her that pulled the pineapple stunt last night. You guys do look pretty similar. You say that you hope you didn’t hurt the Khajiit’s reputation too badly with this, but Quill-Weave says not to worry about it. This girl’s creative, she’ll find a way to turn it to her advantage.

Well, time to get a move on you guess. You profusely thank Quill-Weave for all her help and promise you’ll be back as soon as you can with a response from the bookstore owner and a shiny new book in hand. You decide not to tell her about Gharug’s money – that way you can surprise her, and she won’t be disappointed if something goes wrong.

You consider hugging her, but decide against it. She probably doesn’t want to touch you. Actually you’re just too embarrassed because you’ve never hugged anyone before, but you tell yourself it’s because she wouldn’t want to touch you.

Off you go.

You slink out of town as discreetly as possible. Before you, the Gold Road stretches into the distance across the hilly countryside. You have a long journey ahead of you. But you also have a full stomach, clothes on your back, a good pair of shoes, and someone counting on you. You can do this, you tell yourself. This is the (for real) beginning of your new life in Cyrodiil.

You are Katia Fucking Managan, and you are going to Kvatch!

You have no idea what an adventurer poses like but try anyway.

… maybe you’ll try again later.
