Homer
Guards
As the swamp town had no real walls to speak of guards were patrolling the bridge in and out of the town. As soon as they saw her their hands went to their swords. "Hold kins men. You know the law. Khajiit aren't welcome inside the holds. "
Beth
" I'm not with the caravans he's my traveling companion. I work for him. He can Vouch for me. " She was trying to keep it together but it was obvious every time she was stopped on account of what she was it was heartbreaking and she just wanted it to stop.
Homer
Guards 
" Are you mocking us cat? " Judging by her accent he was assuming that she was making fun of the Nordic dialect
Patty
He held up a hand staring down the guards.

"No need to worry, she's my cohort, if anything happens with her then it'll directly reflect on me. Now let us through"
He was solid and concise, holding eye contact with the first gaurd that had addressed them.
Homer
Guards
" Very well but any funny business with her and you pay her fine or You'll both be locked up if you can't pay "
Beth
"I'll behave I promise. " She said. She had to speak in her normal accent. She didn't know the Khajiit accent well enough to pretend to be one of them. She moved closer to Reian In case the guard thought she was still mocking him
Patty
"Yeah yeah whatever"

He almost made a show of holding his hand on her waist before marching into the hold, he had little to no worry on his face. Turning to her before speaking.

"Should we find a stable for your friend? Let him get some good care and holdings while we do the same?"
Beth
But the look on her face said she clearly wasn't in the mood anymore for anything pleasant. " It happened before when I was younger. My father had to pledge the same thing on my behalf you did. When we would go sell our produce at Solitude. .I... I know I should have expected it I know I should be used to it.. Just... Doesn't get any easier. "
Patty
His expression softened. Gently nodding as they walked, eventually stopping their stride as he looked around for a moment, just to clock the area before turning to her fully.

"Right. I'm sorry, I can imagine such a thing.
Folks in skyrim... They just tend to be well stuck in their ways, but I intend to break some of that. Starting with Riften, and if I can gain a foothold as a thane at least in one hold then I'm sure I can work to help in other ways."
His words rang genuine as he looked down into her eyes.
Beth
" I don't blame the nords. It's the Khajiits fault. If they didn't give the nords reason to not trust them. Then maybe things would be different. But no they steal and sell Skooma. I wouldn't want them near me either." She had touched on earlier. How she wasn't the biggest fan of her own kind but now the hatred was really showing. And she could hardly be blamed growing up in a community where she was shunned because of the reputation of her kind.
Patty
He frowned hearing this from her, a sigh following.

"So you think a couple bad apples define them as a whole too?"
There was a look of saddened disappointment on his face at hearing her say this, a small pause.

"I've met plenty of well mannered Khajiit folk, and the only reason is because the ones that do that were already kicked out of their home for it in the first place so they came here and ruined the name for the rest of them.
I've been to Elsweyr, the folk there are actually very nice people. The dark elves are treated the same way, and argonians are practically treated like slaves. You can't judge anyone based on their race alone. It just doesn't work like that... Unfortunately the rest of skyrim doesn't get the message..."
Beth
"Oh..." She said after hearing all of this and her ears flattened a little bit ashamed that she had hurt him. Cheapest being stupid and should have remembered that he had visited their homeland before and had probably made friends with several of them. "I ..... It's complicated. Please just understand my love. I have my own reasons on why I'm not fond of others like me. " She thought it best not to go into detail about how much She hated them because because of them she was denied so many opportunities in life that she would have got me if they're reputation was anything better in the skyrim. She hated them because she hated herself for being born this. If she was to improve her image of them. Then she would have to learn to love herself and she didn't. It was obvious she didn't and if someone offered her a chance to be human she would take it without a second thought. " Please forgive me if I said anything that makes you upset I have to admit I don't know anything about your travels So if i've said anything that has upset you I didn't mean it. "
Patty
"And what are those reasons? I figure I at least deserve to know. To understand so I could maybe help you."

He was concerned, and a little confused on it all. 
He didn't understand her view of it, he could understand some of it but he just didn't know everything about it.
"I just hate to see someone hate themselves because of another's actions."
Beth
" There have always been 2 things in this world. I have wanted the most you have given me one but you cannot grant the other nobody can accept the divines themselves. You know what I want I want to be like you like all the others. Even if I didn't dislike my own kind you can see clearly with your own eyes. There aren't a lot of people out here like me everywhere. I go I get stared at. They're doing it right now. Everyone who's passing us is looking at me. And I would rather I wasn't the subject of curiosity or scorn because I looked like this. If I was a real nord I could walk and go wherever I want and never have anyone bat an eye at me. Even the elves get better treatment than I do. At least they don't have to have someone vouch for them to come inside the cities. I hate them because I have to suffer like the rest of them when I've lived here. My entire life that's not fair to me. "
Patty
"You're right. It's not fair, but it's still you, there's a lot of things we'd wish we could change about ourselves. And some things we can, others we can't.
And even if it doesn't mean much, I adore you as you are, Khajiit and all. No judgmental nord jack offs are gonna change that for me.

Honestly how unique you are is... Probably part of my draw to you I suppose? I don't know, I don't have it totally figured out why just yet..."
He blushed lightly, averting his eyes to think for a moment, but that train of thought didn't last very long.
"Maybe we should find somewhere to rest down, get Venture his stable and then we can talk some more with some walls around us?"
Beth
She thought that would be for the best. She didn't want to argue with her her first love so soon after they had formed their bond. So for the moment she would not force her issues on him. Changing the subject she went for her coin purse. "I've got 500. Should be enough to get us a meal, a bedroom and a spot for him for the night. " She didn't want to brag that her father had given her a good portion of his personal savings.
Patty
"Life of a mercenary pays well, so I can pitch in. Though he is your horse so I leave all that to you. Don't know the first thing about taking care of animals.
And you provided the food last night, only right that I take it on myself this time around."
He nudged his backpack the slightest sound of jingling gold coins... Somewhere in there.
Homer
Do they even have a stable there? I don't remember.

Maybe they can just pay someone to watch him for the night
Beth
" I suppose I can go look for someone who would be willing to watch him for the night. I'm not so sure but leaving him tied up behind the inn and he'll be there in the morning. " She said hoping there was at least somebody there that was trustworthy. Perhaps the Blacksmith For the regular amount of coin she would pay a stable hand Could be persuaded to watch him for the night.
Patty
"I'm sure we could pay an innkeep to watch him. Just make sure nothing happens to him until the morning?"

He'd never had to think about an animal before so he wasn't very sure how it would work out.
Looking to the inn across the way, before back to her.

"Couldn't hurt to ask I guess?"
Beth
She shrugged and followed him into The Moorside inn. At the counter was a middle aged but still pretty redguard woman looking bored polishing a tankard until she saw them and brightened up. Meanwhile the other 2 occupants. A nord woman in a dress that was hardly decent showing off too much chest looked at Reian like he was a choice cut of fine beef until Serrida showed her fangs at the harlot and pressed her body against Reian saying in body language back off hes mine. The girl however rolled her eyes and walked away. Meanwhile the orc bard took this as his cue to play something. And he was terrible. Both his voice and his skill with a lute. Already Serrida was wondering if this was really their only option for food and rest this night.
Patty
He was otherwise oblivious to the looks form others inside the inn. Putting his arm around Serrida, his hand resting on her shoulder as they approached the innkeep.

"A room please, one night"
Placing down 15 gold on the counter for them.
He did find some annoyance
"And how much to make your bard... Stop... Playing?"
Homer
Jonna 
She took the coin and explained to them he wasn't really her bard. He pays for a room and so she put up with him. And didn't shut him up often on account that lately business had been slow so there hadn't been much of a reason. She did however point them to a table and to order whatever they want to eat and drink
Beth
She nodded asking for chicken and potato stew with a mug of ale and a sweet roll.
Patty
He simply asked for a whole chicken and a slice of apple pie if it was available. Paying before grabbing ten more gold and walking over to the 'bard' and handing it to him.

"If I give you this will you please not play until you see me leave town?"
He sounded almost desperate. The bard begrudgingly accepting it, a little hurt as he ceased his attempts at entertainment.
Before Reian returned to his lady and sat down with her to wait for the food.

"Well that takes care of that"
Seeming proud of himself at the very least.
Beth
"My father's best friend was the innkeeper in our village he never would have been so sloppy with who he hired as a bard. Honestly the crickets outside make better music" She said setting into her bowl of food with day old appetite and paying for another.
