Adrian Jannus

As Adrian learned about the upcoming mission, he leant back in his chair and quietly sighed as he listened to his father. In his eyes it was a rather dull job, all they had to do was take money from some farmers. Adrian wanted something a little more exciting, the type of mission were they had to fight countless enemies and were Adrian could show off how much better he was than everyone else with a blade. He looked up at the roof imagining himself cutting through a horde of barbarians. A smile came across his face as his right hand went to the grip of one of his swords that were laid across his lap, he felt the softness of the exquisite leather that wrapped around it. After a few seconds his Father coughed to bring him back to reality, Adrian looked around to see people leaving through the door.

"Was I boring you son?" Quintus asked Adrian calmly, staring right into his eyes.

Adrian let out a little laugh in response and started to speak. "Oh no Father you know you never bore me. I was just thinking of a plan of attack. It's so grateful of the count to give us this..."

Before his continued Quintus cut him off knowing that he was just being sarcastic. "Do not let me down on this Adrian, I've given you enough easy jobs that you've messed up in the past. I don't want another. Now go and get ready with the rest of the men." Quintus motioned him to the door and went back to his work.

Adrian stared at his father for a moment feeling his anger rising inside of him but he bit his tongue and didn't respond to him. Slowly Adrian got up and tied the two short swords to his hips and gave a forced smile to his Father who was too busy with his work to notice his sons annoyance.

When he finally got outside he was faced by the mountain that was Flavia who towered over him by more than half a foot. She looked imposing in her steel armour, she was basically a moving fortress. He looked up at her as she grinned at him and asked him a question trying to intimidate Adrian. When Adrian was about to bite at the question she turned away and started barking commands at everyone. Adrian just stared at her and shuck his head, no wonder she wasn't in the legion anymore, the way she spoke to people would have had to get her into trouble. He'd heard rumours from some of the men and women in the Company that she'd been forced out of the Legion but apart from that he didn't know much more about her. As everyone was moving quickly about trying not to get on the wrong side of Flavia, Adrian walked over to her.

"You really have a way with words don't you Flavia? You seem to be as loved here as you was in the Legion. Let's hope you can at least act a bit nicer to the people of Shardrock. We don't want you ruining the good name of the Company by murdering a load of innocent farmers." Adrian said calmly with a smug look on his face. His hands laid on the pommels of his swords as he looked at her, debating whether he could beat her in a fight. Obviously Adrian thought he could but that was just in Adrian's head.

@Loo Tenant
@ZAVAZggg Yeah thought you'd still be interested and that your character cant't really do anything, hopefully some others are still interested.
Anybody still interested?
Quintus Jannus

It didn't take long for the company to started to enter one by one. Quintus looked up to see Kalon quietly walking in, the altmer stayed towards the back of the room. Quintus didn't really know what to make of him, he didn't know whether he believed his story of just wondering around Tamriel hunting Daedra, but it didn't matter, a powerful mage was hard to come by for a mercenary company so Quintus didn't turn his offer to work for the Skingrad Company down. As Quintus observed Kalon, Flavia barged open the door and came storming in shouting.

"Come in and be quiet Flavia." Quintus replied calmly. "And yes this is good. Very good if truth be told. There's lots of money involved with this one but that can wait until everyone's here." Flavia was the perfect fit for a mercenary company, she was strong, confident and most importantly would do anything to complete the job, regardless of what she had to do and that's what Quintus needed. Cowl, the young Breton was next and was similar to Flavia in the way that he didn't mind getting his hands dirty when it came to completing a job.

A few moments went by and then the newest member of the company walked in nervously. Quintus looked over nodded at Illya and motioned her to come into the room. His son Adrian shuck his head in annoyance at her, he wasn't the only one to voice his displeasure at Quintus for letting her join them. But Quintus saw something in the young girl believing she'd be of great help. An archer who could hit a rabbit double the length of an average archer showed her skill, it also helped she was a natural at restoration being a Breton would help the company. This was her first job the company however and would show whether she could make it as a mercenary or not.

After Illya, came the old Dunmer Neras wearing his usual worn down robes, never needing to wear armour or to carry a weapon because he was a skilled conjurer. The dark elf was around the same age as Quintus but being an elf he looked a lot younger. Neras asked him about the mission, but Quintus just told him he'd wait until everyone's was here. Next came the Reguard with a usual smile on his face, he was the last of the mages who would be joining the mission. Quintus didn't really know much about Jarret's past and Quintus didn't really believe it was his place to ask questions about his life before joining the Skingrad Company, after all it was a mercenary company, there was always people with unsavoury backgrounds but with Jarret, Quintus knew he'd come from a rich family. The Reguard tried to hide covering himself with some old robes but the leather armour underneath it and the two ebony daggers on his hips said otherwise. Not long after came Jeekius the Argonian. He gave his apologies for being late but Quintus just shuck his head. "Don't worry about it Jeekius, you're not the last person to arrive." Jeekius was one of the best archers Quintus had seen before, it made it better that he could do it in the dark. Quintus needed his skill of being able to blend in and not be seen for certain missions when it came to either stealing something or killing someone without being seen.

After five minutes of no one else entering the room, Quintus put down his quill looking annoyed because the few other who he'd requested to turn up hadn't arrived. Quintus looked around at everyone and begun to speak. "So the mission today is simple. Go to Shardrock and get the money that they owe to the count of Skingrad. They've not sent any messages saying why they've not sent their taxes and no one has spoken to anybody from there. I don't know why they're not paying and I don't really care as long as you get the Septims. This is the first job the count as given us and I don't want us to fail. If they don't have any money, take their valuables and if worst comes to worst, take their livestock." Quintus took a small break to breath and have a sip of wine that was on his table. "If there's no questions, I want you all to go and get ready and I want you to set off in the next hour. Adrian and Flavia will be running this mission so I want you to listen to them. You're all dismissed." He motioned them all to the door and took a seat. "Oh and and if you see any of the arseholes who didn't bother to turn up to the brief, let them know the mission. If they don't turn up within the hour leave without them, they can go without getting paid."
