*Amiena sat at a small table in front of the inn's central hearth, the warm orange glow of the flames illuminating the pages of the books they had carefully laid out across the wooden surface. To the outside eye they simply appeared as though they were a mage simply going about whatever business the College was up to these days, an assumption strengthened by the robes they wore. That assumption was only partly true; while Amiena had recently taken an interest in Dwemer technology and its combat potential, they were equally in the city to make themselves a known presence and strengthen their cover.

*Ja'nari had been set up in the inn for the past couple days, she had made an agreement with the i keeper pay him extra for the room and he would go along with her acting like a house cat, making the innkeeper believe she was hiding from assassins. The Alfiq has been sneaking into the ruins below the city and studying what she can when she can, but today she had decided to relax today as she walks through the inn without her satchel or robe on, glancing around at the tavern goers to see if one might be good prey.*

*Amiena strode over to the innkeeper and ordered a glass of honningbrew mead. As they leaned to pick up the metal cup, Amiena noticed a strange white cat prowling through the tavern. At first they believed it to simply be a house cat however their time in Elseweyr had quickly taught them differently. On their first day in the desert land they'd attempted to pet an Alfiq and received some mighty claws to the chest, the scars of which remain with them today. The Khajiit's behaviour piqued Amiena's curiosity yet they didn't wish to be invasive and so they returned to their books. Despite this they still kept a pointed eye on the cat, even gesturing for her to join them if she so wished*

*Ja'nari noticed the gaze of the mage and smirked a bit to herself thinking she caught one, she walks over to the women and nuzzles against her leg letting out a soft meow before taking a few steps towards her room and looking back to see if the women follows. As the alfiq-rhat looks back at her she gestures with her head to follow, so even if the person knew that she wasn't a house cat they would know to follow of the person wanted to*
Judy
*Amiena lifted an eyebrow as the Khajiit continued the ruse of playing house-cat. Nonetheless, they were taken by whatever was going on and chose to follow the cat. Amiena quickly packed up their books, carefully placing them in their shoulder bag before following the cat. In the back of their mind, Amiena's training screamed that this could be a trap; though if it were, they were well protected between their magic and an elven dagger tucked underneath their robes*
David
*As the two walk into the room Ja'nari walks back to her brushing past her leg and closing the door before looking up at her casting a vamperic seduction spell thinking the young mage will not be able to withstand it*"Hmmmm did you know I was not a house cat, or was you just wanting to pet me... Hmph it matters not."*Ja'nari says before jumping towards her intent on tackling her to the ground to feed from her*
Judy
*Amiena's suspicions were confirmed as the Khajiit closed the door behind them. As the Khajiit cast a calm spell, Amiena felt their mind go fuzzy and it took all their mental fortitude to maintain consciousness. As the cat pounced Amiena was knocked to the ground causing all their books to tumble out of their satchel. Taking in a deep breath to recover from the impact, Amiena thrust their arm forward to produce a dagger forged of Elven steel. In a swift movement, they reached out to press the flat of the blade to the cat's throat in order to protect themselves without harming the Khajiit.* "I do not wish to hurt you" *They pushed out the words as quickly as they could*
David
"Calm down there little girl. You don't want to hurt me, so I won't make you,"*She glances up at the books that tumbled out of her satchel and sees the drawings of Dwemer weaponry. Ja'nari pushes the blade back softly with one paw before jumping off her and going to the book looking at the symbols*"You study the Dwemer as well?"
Judy
*Amiena stood up and produced a small vial from their pocket and drank a small droplet of it. The vial contained a concoction of herbs and Breton blood, Amiena used it to shake off the remains of the calm spell.* "First of all, I'm not a girl just a person" *They spoke simply, making their way over to a chair in the corner of the room. Amiena purposefully left their books on the floor in the event that the Khajiit wished to study them. Their journal was safely tucked away in their bag and that was all that mattered, academic knowledge could be freely shared in their view* "And well, I'm starting to. I haven't had much time to devote myself to study before my enrolment at the College. However the Dwemer's engineering us simply fascinating" *Amiena spoke excitedly, as was their way whenever a subject of interest arose.* "I'm Amiena by the way, I believe I caught your name was Ja'nari?"
