[quote=@nerminator] You could say that Spooked Asuma, because she nearly fell off of her bar stool with a look of fear in her face and pissed off the Drunken nord beside her, the drunken nord made a grunt and went back to drinking his life away. Asuma grabbed the counter too stop herself from falling again she blinked a couple times, she noticed the Really big warrior woman in front of her, so big that she was actually casting a shadow over Asuma, Blinking a couple times more again she told the Woman nervously, [b]Yeah just made a wrong turn and ended up here ha..[/b] the laugh was incredibly fake, [i]Should I tell her my name?...its not like I'm a criminal or anything. Guess it couldn't hurt[/i] [b]Uh my names Asuma[/b] She told the giant of a woman [/quote] The taller Forsworn glared at the haggard before turning back to the heavily flustered Imperial quite underneath her, the woman thinking it a bit cute how frightened she looked towards her. Imperials, while most opinions of Nords were well biased and well venomous of the [i]milk drinkers[/i] of Cyrodiil, Tarja had none such towards them, though she was half-blood of the alleged true sons and daughters of Skyrim, but she accounted herself more as a child of the Reach, her old life gone with the passage of time. Asuma....the name struck a bell, a bell that rang ceaseless through her mind, trying her damndest to connect the girl's face to that particular name. ....Then it clicked. [b]"Riker's kin..."[/b] Tarja breathed astounded. Her heavy hand fell on the girl's head and ruffled her hair as lightly the savage woman chuckled. [b]"You were but a wee lass last I seen you, child. You grew these past winters. Tell me, where be Riker that old dog?"[/b] Riker, he was a stout hunter, skilled with a bow as much in the way of the sword, yet he had a bit of a folly during their last outing, during the Blood Moon of Hircine no less, when they were chasing Sinding through Bloated Man's Grotto. The man, he was wolfkin, just as Tarja, yet the Prince ordered for the lad's death, and swift as it was...but not without a fight. She and Riker nearly escaped with their lives while the rest of the hunters were torn to shreds by the lycan. For that, he owed the woman his life. But years it has been since that last excursion, and seldom did Tarja make contact with the Imperial after.
