"I'll be sure to ask Mr. Crystalis! Ms. Aria seems to have left already..." Yuki said, hearing the shop door closing. With that, she took a short bow and walked downstairs. There was Cronic, and the cat was evidently still in a food coma beside the fire.

"Excuse me? Do you have plans today, sir?" she asked politely, hands behind her back as she stepped toward him.

Aria went to check at the Bannered Mare for any postings, jobs or bounties, though it all seemed quiet. Enquiring about vampires and bone-masked cultists didn't get her anywhere, either. People gave her weird looks when she mentioned the groups. Folk in Whiterun were sheltered quite well from the more brutal elements of the world.

With nothing to go on, the redhead sighed, shrugged, and left the Mare. Dragonsreach was next. Irileth would hate the intrusion, but Aria had only ever offered service to the Hold... She hoped she or Farengar might be able to shed light on these strange groups.
