Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

Sabine continued twiddling at the handle of her mug with a frown. "The craziest thing?" Sabine repeated, glancing to Colours and back to her mug. "Um..." She had to take a few seconds. It was hard to think of anything. "After a hunt, in beast form, a few months ago we were in a snow drift. Ahnasha and me got into a snow fight. I had never done that before. That is all I can think of outside of the war."
Sabine looked ahead and took a drink. It sounded rather childish once it had left her mouth. "We do not do many other interesting things when travelling. I do not really find taverns and make friends like that."

Sabine could only assume that Colours was being sincere enough at this point. The change of subject made her let out an amused breath from her nose and give a small smile without looking up. "The person I work with alchemy alongside is very old and talented. Knows a lot about old hidden magic. We have taught one another different things. Mostly her teaching me, though." Sabine's smile widened. "Shapeshifting is very unintuitive. I have practiced it a lot, but getting it right is still something I am learning."
After lifting her head level and taking another drink, Sabine continued. "There is not much to say about life outside the war. I mostly research with the other scholars, other alchemists." Her tone shrank a small amount. "I see my old friends sometimes. They are mostly making their own lives, though. More stable than me. I do not mind this life, but I miss them awfully."
Sabine finally turned her eyes back to Colours directly. "Do you miss your friends back at your home? Your pride?"

I have to head off for the night. G'night!
Colours' brushing off of Sabine's comment made her let the issue go while he explained. She was not especially confrontational about matters of herself by habit, even after all this time.
Nonetheless, Sabine was attentive. She nodded at some points of Colours' explanation with a small frown. "I...think I understand now," she said when he was done. "I will try to make him help us without scaring him too much. At first, if I can." She took another sip before lowering her mug to the table and shrugging. "Well, thank you. You know us and we just want to help." She glanced up at Colours and returned to frowning at her mug, rolling its handle between her fingers. "It is not always like that. We have to fight a lot. We do not do investigation like this very much."

At least one collab I'm in is close to finishing, but it is set after another collab that hasn't been posted. I have a feeling that the next few posts are going to flow out in a deluge.
Without lifting her head, Sabine turned her eyes up to Colours. Her dubious look overshadowed an amused quirk of her lip. Colours had been making such comments since they met him here, but now they were getting tiring. "Please do not overstep, Colours," she warned gently.
In a pause to think, Sabine lifted her ale to her lips. The drink was more refreshing than she had expected. "So, I just say that we are looking for Talos hunters that are not Thalmor? Just tell him why we are there? Will he not just deny knowing?"

Fendros had no problems with Kaleeth fetching her equipment. She would stick out like a gleaming metal sore thumb, but it would do well for her to discourage resistance by the shopkeeper.
Back at the inn, Fendros left Sabine in Colours' hands while he briefed the others on their roles. He mentioned that he would talk with Sabine afterwards, perhaps in the morning, to make sure that her approach would work.
Sitting hunched in her seat, Sabine took her mug in both hands and stared into the foam at the top of her ale. She didn't really feel like a drink, but looking at the fizzing bubbled helped her to focus somewhat. She began quietly. "I do not exactly know. Fendros suggested that I start with hints about our business rather than tell them directly why we are there. Should I start with the names you talked about?"

I left the scene unfinished in case any of the others had input. We can otherwise skip to the confrontation or any other time you think would be appropriate.
"That'll have to do." Fendros clasped his hands behind his back as he walked. "If we have enough names, it is more than likely that any Talos worshipper would recognise them. We can incorporate them into our confrontation and it'll help us look like more than average blackmailers."
Sabine wasn't completely convinced of her abilities, but she was pacified by Fendros and Colours' combined encouragement. "What time are we going to talk to them?"
"Tomorrow," Fendros responded without a thought. "It's getting late as it is and we can use the rest of tonight and tomorrow morning to work out what you are going to say."
Sabine didn't give any more acknowledgement than an unsure hum.
