The balcony of the bar was filled with the usual assortment of people. All of them laughing, singing, dancing, and being all around rowdy as Oblivion which was surprising seeing as it was not yet night but rather still dusk. One man a Breton was not taking part in the drinking or playfulness of the rest of the bar instead he leaned on the wooden post on the edge of the balcony looking out towards the water. The smell of the sea filled the air with its aroma making for a pleasant aroma that still managed to fight through the smell of ale and cooking meat. The Nords eyes gazed out towards the shimmering waters that reflected the light of the setting sun. A orange hue had been cast across the landscape as the sun set making for a beautiful view. The Breton seemed to be deep within his own thoughts as though something was troubling him when a figure stepped up behind him. A female Bosmer looking in the Mer equivalent to her twenties stood behind him with a concerned expression.

"Ahem" The figure said to voice her arrival. She stepped up and leaned on the rail next to the Breton and joined him in admiring the view The Breton barely looked in her direction as she joined him. "Its a beautiful view." She said softly as though trying not to disturb the scene despite the rabble behind them. "I see why you love the seas so much. It just seems so big open and free, let alone beautiful." The Bosmer said a little more in a normal tone. The Breton nodded his head before he took in a deep breath letting it out in a long sigh, "Yeah, the ocean is a beautiful sight, always manages to be captivating no matter how many times you see it." He said mono-toned. The Bosmer turned toward him still leaning on the rail looking at him concerned. She gave him a light shove on the shoulder before she spoke, "Hey come on whats wrong with you? You have been out of sorts all day?" She said concerned. Once more she was met with a few moments of silence as the Breton took in a deep breath of the ocean air. "I don't know I have just been thinking a lot. A dream I had last night got me thinking." He said in a hushed tone. Her expression became one of more understanding and she turned back to the water. "Oh..." She said quietly, "Was it one of the bad ones?" She asked. He only nodded his head in response. 

The two remained silent for a moment watching the sun set in the distance. In the harbor a small ship likely around a Schooner could be seen making port, its crew already had the majority of its cargo pulled up to the main deck and were preparing to start disembarking. Finally the Bosmer spoke up, "What was it about Kayal?" She asked turning toward her long time friend. Kayal's gaze lowered from the port to the street below as he thought of his response. "Betrayal." He said quietly. He knew that would be all she needed to know to answer her question. The Bosmer frowned at his answer before turning her head back to the water. "Come on, lets take a walk on the beach. That always helps clear you head." She said pushing off from the railing, her dual short swords ringing lightly as they shook around. She turned and grabbed his arm giving him a light tug, he did not put much effort into resisting instead letting her pull him away from his rail and through the tavern crowd.

"Zana, honestly I am fine." Kayal said to the girl. "Bullshit Kayal your obvious as hell when your in a sour mood, especially with me." She said dragging him out of the tavern. When they were out and on their way to the port gate Zana released his arm and the two walked side by side toward the port. It had been a spot they enjoyed going to many times. They would walk down to the beginning of the port then hop down off the side onto the sand then it was open beach from their on out. It took little time for the pair to make it to the port and surely to the sand. Once down they two began to trudge through the sand enjoying the break from the sounds of the city as they got further away. The waves came and went on the shore creating a rhythmic soothing sound as they came and went from the shore. Kayal walked on the side closest to the water, when the waves pushed in the water would just barely reach his boots and would wash away some of his footprints left in the sand.

The two walked in silence for sometime letting themselves relax and enjoy the scenery. They were a good ways from the city before Kayal suddenly turned away from the beach heading toward the tree line gesturing for Zana to follow. "Where are you going Kayal?" Zana asked as she followed after him. "Just come one you will see." He said as he stepped into the tree line, Zana followed closely after. It was another dozen or so minutes of walking through the trees at a gentle incline, before they reached their destination. A small hill that lowered on the opposite side to dozens of rocks, where the waves would crash into creating small amounts of white foam for a moment before the next wave would come wash it away and replace it with more. This area was spared most of the swampy features of the other parts of Leyawiin, the creatures of the swamp could still be heard but it was for the most part dry. At the top of the hill a large rock sat, which was the exact point of Kayal's destination, he sat down on the edge of the rock looking out at the ocean and gestured for Zana to join him. The Bosmer sat next to him and looked out at what Kayal had been so interested in. Before her she was met with a sight similar to the one she had from the tavern balcony except this one was much more pristine and natural, it was for the most part free from the rabble of the city, save for the occasional ship sailing through and the East Empire company Frigate anchored off shore.

"Looks who it is." Zana said gesturing to the ship. "Yeah those monopolizing pricks have been there for a while. Likely waiting for a new escort pirate, hell or maybe just to show themselves off. That wouldnt be unheard of for the East Empire Company." He said scornfully. "You really dont like them do you?" She asked already knowing the answer. "After everything they did, of course I do." He said in the same tone starring down the ship. "They are so self-righteous, they claim pirates are all evil criminals more likely to kill you then to do anything else yet they are the exact same. At least pirates don't try to hide behind false pretenses." He said still in a scornful tone. "Good." Zana replied. Kayal looked at her oddly, "Good? What do you mean by good?" He asked no longer in the scornful tone. "I mean its good to see you are feeling better." She said pointing out his improved behavior. "Sometimes all you really need to make yourself feel better is a good friend, sometime to think and something to vent on." She said kindly. "Luckily you have all three." She said with a mock arrogant grin. Kayal rolled his eyes at her, and smiled, "Speaking of self-righteous." He said teasing her. She tried her best to act offended and punched him on the shoulder, "I am the self-righteous one? Out of the two of us I am? You've got your facts seriously mixed up Kayal." She joked, crossing her arms acting like she was offended.

He chuckled at her and looked toward her happily, "Oh don't be so flustered Zana, your not all bad, there is some good in there, I am sure its just hidden under a few layers of arrogance, ego and sarcasm." He teased. "Once more Kayal your one to talk." She replied in earnest. The two continued to chat and joke with each other while enjoying the view, taking the time to enjoy themselves, something they haven't been able to do for sometime.
