Aria's remark made Cronic naturally go red in the face and briefly took leave of his common sense.

"I ONLY MET HER ONCE BEFORE! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER THAT WELL!" Cronic yelled out at Aria, before catching his breath. Serena couldn't help but chuckle at the turn of events, but thankfully no-one heard it.

It was only once Aria and Yuki began speaking in Akaviri tongues that Cronic and Serena turned to look at each other, confused, opting to give them a little room to speak in private, not that it mattered since it's unlikely the Whiterun guards would be able to figure out what they're saying anyway, the two heading back up to Whiterun's gates.

"Serena." Serena said, looking at Cronic as he leaned against part of the wall, looking out over the plains.

"Ah... There it is. Now I remember. Sorry about that by the way, the whole, forgetting your name thing." Cronic said, as Serena stood beside him and did the same as he was.

"It's fine. Like you'd said, we'd only met the one time." Serena said, a sigh of relief being let out soon after.

"So, who's the girl you bought with you? She doesn't appear native to these lands." Cronic said, turning to look back down at Aria and Yuki for a moment.

"You guessed right. She's a former Akaviri priestess named Yuki. I saved her from a Thalmor "Escort" group, heading in the direction of either the Embassy or Northwatch. Were it not for a little quick thinking and fast aim, she might not be here." Serena, clenching her hands into fists as that hated word left her lips.
