"How much coin you got anyways?" Neyna shrugged, if she was too broke. She would just take her to one of the colleges. Whether one she would like. Either she became a bard or a mage, Neyna didn't care which. As long as the girl has a better future than freezing to death or being homeless.

*Dotty reached into the pocket of her bards keeper outfit and pulled out a small coin pouch. She then dumped it into her hand and started to count really quick.* 

"I have... 35 gold... That's maybe enough to get me to whiterun... Maybe..." 

*Dotty put the coins back in her pouch before putting it back in her pocket. Safe to say she was broke.* 

"I can probably get some coin from Wilhelm if I tell him I'm heading out though... I'm sure he won't send me off empty handed!"
Sarah
<35? That's barely enough...Neyna groaned in her head.

She took a deep breath, her nostrils flaring a bit.

"Well, I can take you there for free. Or at least, you'll own me a monthly fee. Think of it, like taking a loan." She would cross her arms and give her offer to give her protection and training to either Solitude or Windhelm.
Loyd
*Dotty thought about it for a minute before a passing question krept in her mind.* 

"How was it when you first left home? Is it this unsettling for everyone?"

*Dotty tilted her head before continuing.*

"Anyway, I think that would be ok.. How much is your fee if I may ask?"
Sarah
"I guess I've never had a problem. Home was weird for me... Another story for another time. As for my fee, I'll tell you at the end of journey. I suggest you buy some rations with your gold. I'm buying you a sword... That way you're not defenseless. Unless you don't think you'll like swords." Neyna shrugged.

Neyna never really had a home. There were times when they would migrate to set up their campsite at a new place. The wilderness was her home. Skyrim felt a bit different, but she was no stranger to the wilds.
Loyd
"A sword? I do have a bow I take with me when I go to Riften once every week... As for the rations, I'm sure Wilhelm won't mind me taking some dried fish before heading out... Though it might be best to head out tomorrow. I'm sure I can get you a free room for tonight since you'll be my body guard?"

*Dotty explained before standing up. Taking a closer look at Neyna, she couldn't help but be a little curious about her people, considering she haven't met too many dunmer in her lifetime. That would probably be a story for another day as well.* 

"Anyway, I'm going to go talk to Wilhelm... Oh by the way, he is the owner of you didn't already know.. I at least want to tell him I'll be leaving by morning.. If that's ok with you that is."
Sarah
"You might have a bow, but what if a bandit gets too close and has a Dagger to your throat? You'll need a backup Weapon." She told Dottie.

"I thank you for the free room. We shall depart in the morning, after I buy some extra supplies for the long road. Sleep on it, what where we heading to. Solitude or Winterhold... I'm not taking you to both I'm afraid." She added and thanked the Breton.
Loyd
"Yeah.. I guess your right.. Blades would be good to have too, since I don't know any good spells yet... Anyway, let's head back inside, it's getting cold. "

*Dotty mentioned as she led the way back into the Inn. As they entered, They would soon do d out that Wilhelm would was already off to bed. Dotty took this liberty to go behind the counter and grabbed a key before handing it to Neyna.*

"Here, take this."

*Dotty let out a bit of a yawn before continuing.*

"It's the room over to your left. I'll see you in the morning, ok"
Sarah
"Thank you. The name is Neyna, I believed we never gave names." Neyna took the key and placed it into her hand.
Loyd
*Dotty paused for a moment and tilted her head.*

"Oh? You're right we never got eachothers names. It's nice to meet you Neyna, I'm Dotty Felbrook" 

*She mentioned with a smile.*

"If you need anything let me know, or ask Wilhelm of you see him. We are usually up at random hours throughout the night.*
Sarah
"I'll be fine thank you." She gave her a nod before finding her room and getting ready to get some rest for the night; it was going to be a long journey for the two. Where-ever they were going for the journey; Neyna for sure would make sure that Dotty would make it there in one piece. For now, she took her armor off and crawled into bed and closed her eyes.
Loyd
*With that, Dotty made her way back to the basement where she also got ready for bed.* 

{The next morning}

*Dotty woke up at the ass crack of dawn where she walked upstairs to let Wilhelm know of her plan. She explained that she would like to try to become a bard at the collage of solitude. As she explained, Wilhelm handed her a small pouch of gold. A little token he was saving up for when Dotty's went out into the world. She already had her her satchel, bow, and a quiver full of arrows ready for the journey. Dotty gave Wilhelm a quick hug, but decided the goodbyes should be short and painless. So she went out and waited on the porch for Neyna to get ready.*
Sarah
Neyna awoke, drooling on her own pillow. She jerked awake as she saw the morning sun poke through the shaft above her wall. She got dressed, fixed herself up, and got geared up. She would have some breakfast, which was just some jerky she had saved up in her bag and she would walk out.

"You're bright an early, you do have a village in this town right?" She asked as she gave a stretch.
Loyd
*As Neyna walked out, Dotty seemed to be daydreaming lost in thought. The air would still be rather chilly considering Ivarstead was still in the shadow of the mountain. As she heard a voice behind her, Dotty turned.*

"Hmm? Oh... Yeah I'm usually up around this time... And a village? What do you mean? This is a village, but I'm not sure if we have a smaller village with in the village..."

*Dotty looked a little confused as to what the Dunmer meant by Village*
