Rawlith found himself sauntering through then slowly emptying tavern room where he perched himself atop a bar stool as the slight winds of the blizzard slipped through the small pockets in the building. He stared into the wood grain of the bar top until the bartender stepped to him with kind words and a question of request to which Rawlith responded somberly.He ordered a simple tankard of nothing special, just mead, and began to drink it with no intentions of inebriation or flat-out intoxication to the point of blacking out. He, like many nords, simply wanted a drink and a warm stomach. He turned to survey the tavern's open room, noticing among the trimmed crowd an Orc, and a Khajiit, but the tiny Alfiq caught his attention more then anything. He examined the Alfiq softly noting many things about her, including that it was a her in fact, as well as her aging, her magical talent, and her demeanor. Khajiit's weren't like other the other races when it came to the Khajiiti sub-species and discerning them from one another. Rawlith knew from a moment of looking that she wasn't a common house-cat, but rather one of his kind, this peaked his interest, but he figured it would be something as simple as her moving around with either a tribe or Caravan. Nevertheless his thoughts remained the same, he was heavily debating whether to stay with his tribe as they moved south to Cyrodil and then back to Elsweyr, or to leave them and ascend the great mountain to learn more about his condition.
Rawlith found his emotions conflicting at first, the fact of leaving his tribe for an unknown period of time waned on his feelings for them as a family and as a unit, but the anger, sorrow, and grip of feelings attached to his new-found scar caused him to boil under his fur. The memory of the past few days resonated in the foreground of his mind and then Scar on his chest shined vibrantly in a red veil of hatred in his mind. The Dragon... Nay, the self-proclaimed Dovah sat in in the shroud of Rawlith's thoughts and plagued his mental state, constantly torturing the dark corners of his mind and tugging at his confidence and sanity. Rawlith couldn't discern this as a personal problem, or an effect of the Dovah Ahraan. He wasn't sure what the Scar was, and whether or not it truly effected him yet, he had yet to find a situation that presented itself necessary to test his abilities. He grew more and more stressed as the minutes rolled on and his mind grew into a fit of rage while his eyes seemed to automatically survey the tavern and go into an idle normality. It was only when the bartender returned to offer a second tankard that Rawlith drew forth from his mind and stared at the bartender with now expressive rage. He took a minute to realize his feline expression and then halted it while shaking his head to decline the tankard.
"This one has somewhere to be..." He stated while paying for his mead and then grabbing his coat from next to the bar. He slipped his trench-coat on and then pressed to the door to begin his trek up the mountain.
