"Lucky Whiterun is built on high ground, otherwise it would be flooded by now. We're all good up here, but I'm not so sure the farmland is..." Aria said as she strolled back inside, tossing the sturdy wooden blade into the stack of random junk under the stairs. Now as the sun weakly shone on central Skyrim, the risk of some Dark Brotherhood assassin showing up diminished greatly. As for Vampires, they would be exposed in daylight. Heck, maybe today wouldn't be that eventful after all!

After Aria got dressed properly, she took her sheathed katana from it's place rested against the desk and fixed it onto her belt. "I'm gonna jinx it and say this is gonna be a really peaceful day for once. We should see what we can dig up on your girl, maybe it'll turn into a little adventure!"

Meanwhile, in the open plains west of Whiterun...

"I didn't mean to offend them! The fire was so big, I merely thought it was communal!" Yuki rather calmly yelled as she legged it after Serena. Being unfamiliar with giants, the girl typically judged that it might be a good idea to creep away from camp while her guardian slept to go see the 'towering Nords' over by their own campfire. They looked friendly enough, but clearly that wasn't the case! Every step that pounded into the ground caused everything to shake. Yuki didn't bother looking behind her, she could tell when the giants were getting closer from how hard the shockwaves got. It didn't help that everything was muddy and drenched after last nights storm, either.

But there was a hold capital in sight. Raised up, safe from any land-based attackers. To Yuki it was a sight to marvel at, as was everything in Tamriel. But for now the focus was on getting there without being flattened by the club-wielding giants trampling after them.

"Maybe if we compensate them with gold coins they will leave us alone?!" Yuki suggested.
