"I think I have enough for now" Luhn closed her notebook, sliding the pencil down the center of the book. She twisted her torso and tucked it back into her pack. Turning back to face Varis. 

"Winking Skeever huh? Is it a nice inn? I was considering staying there when I arrived into Solitude. But alas I settled for a much cheaper hostel. It's been a while since i've spoken to anyone from the motherland. Perhaps we could get a pint and chat a bit?" Luhn asked, conversation hadn't been abundant since coming to Skyrim. A few times she was able to chat with a mercenary but a Dunmer from Morrowind. Now that would be interesting. "Of course if you're too busy I understand, but the Nords here are so dull, a couple of dirnks in and all they do is winge about how the war took their farm. Or how a dragon ate their great grandmothers cow." Luhn looked around at the docks, wrinkling her brow. "I do have a job to complete now, still have an Argonian to track down, and I'm loathe to start looking in the water."

"Absolutely. Thankfully, I've convinced my barkeep to import some drinks from Morrowind, so there should be a good selection for our kind. The inn is lovely, plenty of ambience and subtlety. As for the Nords and how they throw back drinks..." He chuckled a little. "Well-spotted. Though, in Solitude, the Nords here tend to be fairly interesting to get drunk. Mainly because, they can't help telling me trade secrets and deals when they're loosened up."

Varis raised his chin and looked around, toward the waters, and frowned a little, "Hm. Yes, that does seem awful." He looked toward her. "Would you like me to give you a bit of waterbreathing? A rudimentary spell, so no charge required."

Luhns face brightened a bit at the mention of Dunmer booze. "Ah, that sounds delightful. It's been months since I've had some Sujamma, my father used to get crates of it delivered all the way from Stone Falls. A bit more easy on the palatte compared to liquour served here, or in Cyrodiil. By Azura I thought my throat was going to catch fire trying Cyrodiilic spirits. Those people don't play with their alchohol." She let out a groan and gave the waters beyond the docks another glance. 

"A waterbreathing spell would be lovely, but I don't think I'll be diving long enough for it to matter. The water here is deadly cold, and Im no Nord. I think the freeze would kill me. Im sure the captain understands, plus I haven't surveyed all the dock. Even if I don't find him I at least found his companion." She glanced down at the ground. Looking at the water under the gaps of the wood panels. Luhn turned her gaze back to Varis and shrugs. "Half of my pay is more than enough to cover my board and feed."
Ray
He chuckled a little, "Agreed. They add too much spice and sweets, when the goal is to get drunk." He shrugged. He listened as she denied his waterbreathing spell, and nodded at her rationalization. "Fair enough. Best of luck, but, don't worry. An argonian in these waters? It shouldn't be hard to spot a frozen corpse on the surface." He placed his hand behind his back while holding one out to her to shake. "Until we see each other again. Be it later this afternoon, or in Dragon Bridge."

Varis glanced to the captain of her ship, and his eyes narrowed a little, as he pondered what sort of things he could get the man to import or export. He mauled over it as he looked back to her to see if she had anything left to ask or say.

Luhn took his hand and gave it a strong shake. "Well, I guess we will see. Argonians can be surprising. I will visit the Winking Skeever tonight, I've got a few more errands to run today. Moreso now that I have a ruin to look at. It has been a pleasure to meet you Kinsman. Wealth beyond measure." She nodded wishing him well. She bowed her head towards him and stepped away. Turning back to face the dock, she walked towards the edge, dodging a few fisherman carrying slings laden with salmon and herring. Luhn took her time to survery the water, head twitching and flicking as she carefully observed the movement underneath the water. Eyeing the dark liquid for a sign of scales or feather. She was pleased to have had her conversation with the other Dunmer, a good chat and some Sujamma would help her prepare for the upcoming expedition. A little taste of home before risking life and limb, she smiled. It was like she was back in Belkarth again.
Ray
The Wizard nodded, "Until then. Wealth beyond measure, sera." He watched her walk away and toward the docks, hunting her scaly crewmate. His eyes narrowed as he looked around, and nodded to himself, as he held his hands behind his back and started to walk back to the city proper. He had more business to conduct, more research to pour over, and more experiments to commit. Some mundane and simple, others... Cruel and awful. Or at least, that's how the guards of the dungeons put it. Varis saw no difference between human experimentation, and simple calculation. Everything led to a goal, and that Greater Goal, was all that mattered.

The expedition into Voskygge would be a boon for his research. Even though he was not a Necromancer, the animation of dead things played a role in his research, solely to prove some hypotheses. The other plans he had for the ruin... Well, that would come soon.

Luhn stepped into the Winking Skeever. The day had pased fairly quickly after she left Varis. Luhn never did find the Argonian, but figured he was eventually caught when she heard the captain shouting at the water as she was walking up the steps away from the dock. The rest of her way was spent hagglign with a bookeeper at the bards college and then reading for a fair little bit. As the sky began to turn dark, and the stars sparkled in Aetherius Luhn left the college. She ditched her back and her leather armor at her hostel. Arriving at the Inn dressed in her buckskin trousers and a long blue tunic. She approached the bar and took point. Standing on the edge and looking around the tavern hoping to spot Varis. While she waited her absent-mindedly rested her hand on the handle of her Tanto. She felt comfortable enough to leave her sword, Rouan Wel where she was staying. But the Tanto was to stay at her hip at all times.

The Wizard was on an upper balcony, seated at a table speaking to a particularly husky and hefty redguard, who seemed flushed as Varis humored him and spoke with him. His eyes hardly left the man, until he glanced away, and spotted Luhn at the bar. His eyebrows rose, he looked toward the man, and smiled as he offered a passing whisper, got up and walked away toward the stairwell. 

Varis would not take long before he arrived in Luhn's sights, hand behind his back while the other held a cup of gingergreen chai. The man walked toward Luhn and gestured to the stool next to her, "Pleasure to see you again, sera. Mind if I sit with you?"
Virgil
Luhn gave Varis a warm smile and bowed her head towards him. "Hail, Varis. I hope the rest of your day went well?" She moved aside making more room for him to sit next to her. She motioned to the barkeep and kindly asked for a plate of grilled fish placing a couple gold pieces on the counter.

 "I did a bit of reading on this region, exciting stuff, learning about the history of this land. But enough about Skyrim. How does Morrowind fare this season. I will admit I have not been to the motherland since my infancy. But I'd like to pass the news on to my father and the few patriots he keeps under his command." As she spoke she gave a glance around the warmly decorated tavern. Of all the places she had been in Skyrim this one was one of the nicest. Luhn felt herself relaxing, listening to the sound of the fireplace and the bard playing folk tunes.
