Sabhira’s Daughter #6


“Really?! You can’t see me?” asked Kitty as she looked down at herself. “Not a hair,” Muz-Ra stated, not quite sure where she should be facing. Kitty tried a physical test, slapping Muz-Ra’s rump from behind. “AAAaaaa!” screamed Muz-Ra, “HEY! Don’t do that kitty! It’s scary!”
Kitty apologized quickly, “Sorry Red, I just had to be sure.” “So… can you see yourself?” asked Muz-Ra, rubbing her butt a bit. “Yeah. I look just the same to me.” “Check a mirror – do you see yourself in a mirror?” “Lemme check… Nope, no reflection. COOL!”
“Well, I guess you just became our official scout!” Muz-Ra conceded. “Yeah! with this I could… wait… Hey… HEY! Wait here, I’ll be back in a minute. Gotta go do something!” Kitty’s voice trailed off. “What? Where are you going?” Muz-Ra asked to the fading voice but there was no reply.
After a moment, Muz-Ra’s expression turned to alarm. “Kitty? KITTY! WAIT! I JUST REMEMBERED!” Muz-Ra called to where she’d last heard Kitty’s fading padding, suddenly concerned.
Meanwhile, in the dining area, On-Wanal suddenly sat up as something unusual was taking place right before her eyes. “Holy SHIT!” she exclaimed, “What the hell!? A floating sweetroll?”
Suddenly, pulling back her hood, Kitty was revealed holding the sweetroll with a evil grin on her face. “SURPRISE! You poor excuse for a theif!” she cried triumphantly, “It’s me!… Um… Hey… Who turned out the lights???” (SPLAT!)
Sometime later in the shower, Kitty was explaining to Muz-Ra with Udaran standing nearby, suppressing a giggle. “…and THAT’S when she smashed the sweetroll in your face?” asked Muz-Ra, trying to sound sincerely concerned. Kitty answered dejectedly, “Face, body, pretty much all over me! Yeah. Of course, I know she didn’t realize I’d gone blind.” “I imagine she was pretty upset Kitty. I don’t think you should blame her,” pointed out Udaran. “I don’t really. It was a stupid idea. But she’s GOT to know how tough it is to get sticky icing out of fur!”
“I doubt she was really thinking much about that. I expect it was pretty much an instinctive reaction,” Muz-Ra explained. “Well, if nothing else, I’m pretty sure she’s sworn off sweetrolls for life!” Udaran laughed. “Yeah… me too actually,” Kitty agreed.
Udaran changed the subject, “So, at any rate Milahme took the news pretty much as expected.” “Oh? Is she going to be leaving?” asked Muz-Ra. “She’s not sure yet,” Udaran answered. "She’s going to take a few days to consider it I think.“ "That’s a good plan,” Muz-Ra decided. “Can you pass me that soap again Udie? This stuff is tough!” asked Kitty from the noise of the shower.

Sabhira’s Daughter #4


“…so I’m looking for your advice on how to handle this,” Blue concluded to H, the owner of the Tails magazines, and Bhusaran who stood for him in all things related to the local law and the Jarl. H looked to Bhusaran, who indicated no particular opinion on the matter. “Of course,” H responsed, “any found money from a crime should be turned over to the Jarl.” “Of course… if it’s definitely from Dahleena,” agreed Bhusaran, “You’re sure it’s her stash?” “Pretty sure. I mean, who else would have left it?” Blue replied. Bhusaran perked up, “So you’re NOT sure it’s hers? Is that what you’re saying?”
“I don’t… I mean, I THINK…” Blue stammered. “What she’s saying is NO, she found some gold, but she doesn’t know who left it there,” Muz-Ra interjected, understanding Bhusaran’s unvoiced implication. “That’s what I THOUGHT she said,” Bhusaran smiled. “Oh… OH! I get it!” Blue burst out, turning to Muz-Ra “Get what?” said H with a frown, “There’s nothing to get. Is there?” “NO!” declared Blue, Muz-Ran and Kitty simultaneously.
“So, congratulations on your newfound wealth Blue. What do you think you’ll do with it?” H asked innocently. Blue took a moment to consider, then replied hesitantly, “Well, I’d like to help out those who were most hurt by the murders I think.” “That’s very kind of you Blue.” smiled Bhusaran, genuinely moved by Blue’s charity. Blue went on, “Yes… Arabhi and Sabhira are gone, but I’d like to give it to Milahme and Udaran I think,” confirmed Blue.
Kitty interjected for her friend, “You should at least keep a little for yourself Blue. You did find it after all.” “I… I don’t really want any. It seems somehow wrong,” Blue protested. “Well, why don’t you go tell them,” suggested Bhusaran, “However, I do advise you don’t tell anyone else.” “Yes, that amount of gold is troublesome. Best keep this quiet,” agreed H. “I will. Thanks H, Bhusaran. You’re always great advisors,” Blue said, almost bowing.
H proposed, “After that, I advise you to find Ubergard and have her escort you to retrieve it and we’ll keep it safe in our vault.” “That’s totally up to you of course, Blue. But you need to keep it safe. We can help you with that – if you trust us,” added Bhusaran “Of course I do!”, Blue insisted, “And thanks again!” The three turned to go.
Kitty sighed, “Well, that’s that. I guess it’s the right thing to do though.” Muz-Ra proclaimed, “It’s the PERFECT thing to do. Good idea Blue, giving it to Milahme and Udaran.” “Yeah. I’m feeling better about it already. I guess we’d better go tell them.” Kitty sighed again, imagining other scenarios but accepting that they just weren’t going to happen.
Quietly to H, Bhusaran asked, “Are you really going to let them keep it all?” “Bhusaran, don’t you know me better by now? I may be sharp when dealing with our suppliers, distributors or the authorities, but the girls are our bread and butter. I’d never do anything to cheat them. We make plenty on the Tails. Far better to keep the girls happy,” responsed H, somewhat suprised that Bhusaran would question his motives. “Ok, but if the Jarl finds out, he’ll be furious,” observed Bhusaran “Then it’s our job to make sure he doesn’t find out.”

Sabhira’s Daughter #3


“Red! Red, wake up! It’s important!” whispered Blue early in the morning the next day. “Huh? Oh… Hi Blue. What’s up?” asked Muz-Ra groggily. “I found something Red. Something big,” fretted Blue, barely able to keep her voice down. “Grmph… What time is it?” mumbled Kitty from her bed. Turning back towards Kitty, Blue replied, “Oh, about 7 in the morning, Kitty.” “7 in the morning? NOTHING important ever happens at 7 in the morning!” declared Kitty as she lay back down.
“Oh wake up you sleepyheads and listen! I was out early this morning, picking some herbs outside the valley,” whispered Blue excitedly. “At 7 in the morning? What, do you never sleep?” asked Muz-Ra incredulously. “Actually, not much, but that’s not important. What IS important is that I was looking for these herbs that I use in my tea and I noticed something behind some rocks… something sparkly. Turned out it was metal. It was the bands of a chest that had been hidden.” said Blue. “And? Did you open it?” asked Muz-Ra, coming to attention now. “Yes… Red, Kitty… it’s full of gold!” whispered Blue.
“GOLD?” exclaimed Kitty, suddenly taking an interest. “Yes. I think it’s Dahleena’s stash,” Blue replied. “Really? She DID say she had some gold hidden around somewhere outside,” stated Muz-Ra, “How much Blue?” “It’s almost full Red. It’s a LOT of gold! Red, I don’t know what to do.” “Well, first don’t tell us any more. Right now you’re the only one who knows where it is, and we should keep it that way till we decide what to do,” Muz-Ra suggested.
“We HAVE to tell H don’t we?” asked Kitty. “That’s the proper thing to do, yes. What do you think Blue? It IS your find. In Skyrim, posession is 9/10ths of ownership. 10/10ths really. You can just keep it you know,” said Muz-Ra. “I don’t WANT it Red. That kind of thing is just trouble. Especially in that amount. As soon as someone knew I had it, I’d be in constant danger. I’m happy here Red. I don’t want anything to mess up my life here,” Blue responded, somewhat worried. “Then we need to talk to H and Bhusaran. Kitty, you’re the only other person that knows about this right now. You OK with that?” “Well, dammit, I’d love to be rich honestly. But I guess Blue has a point. Let’s see what H and Bhusaran have to say. They’ve always been straight with us before.” “Ok – but till we talk to them, don’t say anything to ANYONE,” stated Muz-Ra.
“You sure you don’t want to just keep it Blue? If it’s too much, I’m SURE me and Red could help you out there!” asked Kitty hopefully. “NO Kitty. You haven’t been here long enough to understand. It’s dangerous to have that much gold in one place!” stated Blue, flatly rejecting the idea.
“She’s right Kitty. There are people around here that would slit your throat for a fraction of gold of that amount. Not IN the Chateau mind you, but word gets around,” observed Muz-Ra. “Well… ok,” Kitty responded, “Just checking.”
“Um. Kitty, we’re going to go find H. You wearing that?” asked Muz-Ra. “Huh? Oh. I guess not. Give me a second to change.” Kitty replied. “Ok, but lets…” started Blue.
“Done!” interrupted Kitty. “How DO you do that?” asked Muz-Ra, incredulously. “What I want to know is how she gets into that at all, without a zipper!” added Blue. “Well it’s a CATsuit you know. It’s a kind of magic. You wouldn’t understand. It’s a cat thing,” Kitty answered mysteriously.
