The tribunal + Nerevar in To Deny Godhood:
Vivec: Sweet, kind, spent the last few hundred years atoning for his failures as a living god, would and has given the shoes off his feet to someone who needs it.
Almalexia: nah she dead.
Sotha Sil: Sweet boi. Just wants to do what’s right. Held off on his ascension with vivec because he sensed Shamat would need them one day. Taught Khash to knit. Lovely.
Nerevar: Absolutely batshit insane. Cruel bastard, stinky poopy butt face.
Vs
The Tribunal + Nerevar in The Mourned and The Heretics:
Vivec: Lost his last marble, snapped completely and is hellbent on revenge.
Almalexia: Oh she mad mad.
Sotha Sil: still a sweet boi.
Nerevar: the sweetest boi. Will and has fought gods for his beloved. Will and has searched high and low for his beloved. Will grovel at his beloveds feet and worship the ground he walks on just to please him.
Conclusion. Sotha Sil is a good boi.

brain: i have an idea
me: okay. im half awake but go for it little ball of meat
brain: so you know riiju-lei and shamat are reincarnations of voryn
me: yeah
brain: well what if. there was another dragonborn reincarnation of voryn
me: okay. lets hear it
brain: this one doesnt quite know who he is but early on in his journey (or maybe before it) he meets the reincarnation of nerevar who is always kind and gentle and he always feels drawn to the mysterious stranger who helped him out multiple times when he was just getting his footing and being unsure how to act upon it. maybe the gang has ‘a night to remember’ quest where the voryn reincarnation ends up sleeping with and proposing to nerevar who knows it’s all daedric shenanigans and doesn’t hold him to it (is probably drunk himself and knows trying to pull him out of it might put him in danger with sanguine but keeps the ring anyways as a little memento). and then after doing solstheim stuff quickly gets his memories back and realizes. oh god that always helpful hot guy was INDORIL NEREVAR????
me: hm. this is smth alright
brain: and then shenanigans trying to find him again but nerevar basically gathered from their interactions that reincarnated!voryn doesn’t remember him and has friends so he’s happy for him and doesn’t wanna try and force him to remember painful things even if it means letting him go and letting someone else love him

Nerevar: *sitting at the dining table looking like his worlds been rocked*
Kaidan: you? Okay?
Nerevar: *shakily sips his ale* I found out LeiLei can make anything erotic in someway.
Kaidan: hehe, oh yeah, taliesins the same. What did he hit you with? Feathers? Rope? A scarf?
Nerevar: a fan.
Kaidan: what?
What Riiju did:

Riiju-Lei: *all 3 eyes very irritated from crying as they leave the hall of the dead* gods if I keep weeping like this I think id like to go back to having no emotions at all…
Nerevar: and deprive the world of your smile? Absolutely not~ *pats his shoulder gently*
Taliesin: or your adorable laugh~
Riiju-Lei: I-it is not adorable.
Kaidan: I dunno, it does sound pretty cute when you start honking like a baby horker~
Lucien: or start snorting like a bristleback.
Riiju-Lei: *visibly blushing* I- I don’t sound like either of those things!
Sero: *cackles* pay up Xelzaz I told you he’d start blushing again!
Xelzaz: You lot cheated!
Riiju-Lei: Y-you’re taking bets on my emotional responses now?!
Inigo: yes shame on you all! … *sneakily takes his winnings from Xelzaz*
Nerevar: *chuckles and shakes his head at them* leave him be… *waits till Riiju isn’t looking before taking his share too and snickering* So, corner club before we leave?
Riiju-Lei: I guess, I don’t think you’d enjoy it though but… it’s really the only place any of us except for maybe Lucien and Kaidan would be welcome… the dunmer who owns it doesn’t particularly like me given I was raised by a nord and most people in this city like or at least tolerate me.
Nerevar: hm… maybe we can wait until we reach Kynesgrove then…
Riiju-Lei: Mhm… I don’t particularly want to go passed what’s left of my old house either. I don’t know what type of emotion that’d kick up out of me…
Nerevar: old house?
Kaidan: aye. When we first came here with him to gather his belongings and bring them to whiterun we found it burned to the ground and the brickwork covered in racial slurs against dunmer… even the district it was in is a slur against dunmer people.
Nerevar: *clenching his fist a little under his cloak* …I see…
Riiju-Lei: *sighs* let’s just g-
???: THERE! THATS THE BASTARD! THATS THE WANKER WHO DID THIS TO ME!!
Everyone: *turns to see Rolff stone-fist next to a guard, pointing at Kaidan*
Kaidan: oop, shit, hope you all have enough to bail me out for this.
Nerevar: I- what did you do to him? He’s missing half his face!
Kaidan: He was harassing a dunmer woman then tried to hit LeiLei while his back was turned. So I punched him and my gauntlets did the rest.
Guard: *walks over* Alright you’re under arre-
Nerevar: *steps out in front of him* It is my understanding that my companion here was attacked first by that- gentleman. My other companion here leapt to his defence.
Riiju-Lei: *sighs* nerevar don’t bother. He’s the brother to ulfrics right hand man, they won’t listen. *opens his wallet* okay how much is the fin-
Nerevar: *gently makes him put it away before looking at the guard* Is that so… in that case. Unless Ulfric would like the great houses of morrowind to side with the empire once again and join in on this civil dispute. He, And his right hand man. Will have an audience with me.
Guard: and, who are you exactly?…
Nerevar: Indoril Nerevar.
*a few hours later*
Riiju-Lei: *sitting quietly at the large table in the main hall of the palace of kings, knee bouncing as he and the others wait for nerevar and kaidan to return from their meeting with Ulfric* …I feel, sick, my chest feels tight and my hands and feet are cold. What emotion is this?
Lucien: anxiety, nervousness… it’s okay to be scared, I am too… being an imperial and the son of a notable captain I don’t particularly feel safe in here.
Sero: it’ll be okay… *folds his arms a little tighter feeling nervous himself*
Riiju-Lei: I hope you’re r-
Rolff: *suddenly screaming as he’s dragged out of the room in shackles to be taken to the jails* BROTHER YOU CANT DO THIS! YOU CANT SIDE WITH THEM! BROTHEEEEE- *silenced as the doors shut*
Nerevar: *walks out with Kaidan* I’m glad we could come to an understanding. The high council will provide funds for the betterment of our people housed within your city, the argonians and khajiit will be permitted within the walls. And we’ll remain neutral in your affairs.
Galmar: *huffs and storms out past them to the jails, most likely to give his brother a talking to for embarrassing him*
Ulfric: *walks out after him* yes. Now if there’s nothing else I have a war to get back t- *pauses spotting Riiju-Lei amongst the group* I know you. You were at Helgen.
Riiju-Lei: Yes. I was. Now I’m the Dragonborn. And I’ve been a citizen of this city longer than you or your fathers fathers have been alive… *stands up, feeling anger bubbling within himself the longer he looks at him* So if I hear anymore talk of my kind or anyone who isn’t a nord, being mistreated in these walls. I’ll do what that bastard and his mates did to my house. And I’ll burn this whole city to the ground.
Nerevar: LeiLei. *looks at him sternly but with a soft understanding in his eyes, knowing now at time of diplomacy is not a moment to lose his temper*
Riiju-Lei: *huffs and turns to leave*
Ulfric: *realising now he’s standing in a room with two extremely powerful threats he’d be smart not to piss off any further* I understand.
Riiju-Lei: *glares back at him* …good… *storms out*
*a few minutes later*
Team Dragonborn: *catch up with Riiju-Lei as he crosses the bridge leaving the city*
Nerevar: Hey- *pats his shoulder gently*
Riiju-Lei: *gritting his teeth in frustration* Arghh! I hate this feeling! I hate him for making me feel this way! I promise if we come back in a month NOTHING will have changed and that cockhead will be walking around harassing the grey quarter all over again!!
Nerevar: And if he does I will make good on my threat and side with the empire again. *strokes his cheek* he’s not worth your fury, dreamer…
Riiju-Lei: *sighs and relaxes into touch, the feeling of familiarity it brings giving him comfort* is it really worth that much effort?…
Nerevar: if it makes you happy, then yes…
Riiju-Lei: *smiles and holds his hand looking down shyly as the anger gives way to love and content happiness*
Taliesin: *suddenly smiling as he watches them*
Kaidan: what’s got you so happy? I nearly got arrested and you’re grinning.
Taliesin: I just realised something. The first day we saw LeiLei smile. It was right here. I’m betting it was the day Nerevar first came to skyrim~
Kaidan: really?… huh… to think they were always so close without even realising it.
Taliesin: *leans against him* I’m glad he’s found his happiness now… and I’m glad you’re not arrested. It’d be hard to make love to you with all those guards watching~
Kaidan: *coughs* I- calm down you wait until we get a room before you start talking like tha-
Sero: *suddenly books it past them with the guards chasing after him* HAHAHAAAAA!!!
Riiju-Lei: WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Inigo: *runs out after him and the guards* I tried to stop him! He set Rolff stone-fist on fire in his jail cell!!!

Riiju-Lei: *sighs with relief up at breezehome as they approach through the still quiet early morning streets of whiterun* Home at last…
Nerevar: I passed by this place so many times when I first arrived here and I had no clue you were just behind these doors…
Riiju-Lei: that explains the random bouts of excitement I had then. I played a lot of tag with the kids those days. Speaking of which, I hope Caryalind handled looking after everyone okay- *opens the door to find Lydia cleaning up the mess the kids had made of the house, Khash quietly helping her and Caryalind passed out from exhaustion by the fireplace* oh dear.
Lydia: *looks up* oh my thane!
Khash: DAD!!! *drops the broom and runs to Riiju jumping up into his arms*
Riiju-Lei: *laughs and hugs her tight* Hello little shadowscale!
Caryalind: *jumps and flails out of his chair with a thud* Ugh! Hnuh?? *looks up to see the group entering* You’re back! It went well I take it??
Riiju-Lei: *smiles* better then just well. *sets Khash down gently* Everything… here? Go well?
Caryalind: *still on the floor* Oh yes, just fine, the kids were delightful…
Riiju-Lei: *quirks his brow*
Caryalind: …Alesan put lizards in my underwear, Blaise got caught shoplifting, Sofie kept bringing wild animals into the house and Lucia broke her hand punching Braith in the face… Khash was the only well behaved one.
Riiju-Lei: *sighs* thank you cary, go have a proper rest I’ll get our new friends settled in and make us all breakfast.
Caryalind: new fri- *spots nerevar then goes visibly pink as Miraak suddenly steps over him offering his hand* I-
Miraak: Let me help you up.
Caryalind: oh my you have a very deep voice- *shakily takes his hand and instantly gets pulled to his feet*
Taliesin: *brow twitching feeling protective of his prince* …
Kaidan: *gives his ass a squeeze* oi. Leave him be.
Riiju-Lei: *snickers taking nerevars hand and leading him upstairs as everyone else starts to unpack and relax* I’ll come help you clean up in a minute Lydia, thank you.
Lydia: *smiles at him and nerevar as they go by* thank you my thane.
Nerevar: *follows Riiju upstairs and into the master bedroom* it’s a lovely house you have here, your daughter is adorable too but… her tail- sh- she wasn’t hurt was she?
Riiju-Lei: hm? Oh Khash. No she just wasn’t born with one. She’s small but she’s the oldest of my kids. The others must all be still asleep. Usually she comes along on adventures, she’s an excellent fighter but… given miraak sent cultists after me and they targeted my family specifically… I didn’t feel safe bringing her along. *chuckles* funny how he’s now downstairs wooing the prince of the aldmeri dominion.
Nerevar: *brain short circuiting* I’m sorry he’s the what now?
Riiju-Lei: oh right, there’s a lot you need to catch up on. I’m sure we’ll discuss it over breakfast but let’s get you unpacked first yes? *smiles at him before dropping his pack on the bed to empty it*
Nerevar: … *smiles and gently embraces him from behind, resting his head against his shoulder* you’ve built a beautiful life here LeiLei… you found so many people who love you and a place where you can feel safe.
Riiju-Lei: *gently reaches back running his fingers through his soft white hair* and now I can finally feel that love thanks to you making me whole again… my moon and star…
Nerevar: *slides his hands up his torso beginning to playfully tug at and undo the straps of his armour* there was a place within my heart empty for too long when I was without you… im glad we’re finally together again… My Voryn…
Riiju-Lei: …I think we can wait a few minutes for breakfast don’t you?
*meanwhile downstairs*
Sero: They’re certainly taking a while up thei-
A wine bottle on the kitchen table: 🍾
Kaidan: and they’re fucking.
Taliesin: *sighs* I’ll get breakfast started.

Bishop: I got a dick so big I needed a cart to haul it over to your moms house last night~
Riiju-Lei: Well my mother is a literal jar of ashes and it’d still be the wettest p**** you’ve ever gotten.
Nerevar: *doubled over choking to death on his own laughter*

Follow up to our two hearts meeting
———
Nerevar: *walking beside Kaidan at the head of the group, smiling down at Riiju-Lei as he sleeps peacefully in his arms* so he has a family back in whiterun then yes?
Kaidan: *carrying an unconscious and still injured miraak on his back* aye, five kids he adopted.
Nerevar: Five?! Gods the house must be crowded!
Taliesin: hm not really, it’s quite a big house though I would like to be able to use the bathroom without being interrupted every 10 seconds. *sighs* but alas. I think he likes how lively the house is with all of us around. He’s been on his own for some time after his parents passed on.
Nerevar: That reminds me I… id like to visit their graves when we get back to windhelm. *covers Riiju with his cape as the ash near the bulwark kicks up*
Kaidan: *hands busy carrying miraak, sneezes as the ash blows up his nose* ugh focking mountain- I- why do you want to visit his parents?
Nerevar: to thank them for keeping him safe. *walks ahead of them and into the wretching netch*
Kaidan: jeez he’s really in love isn’t he?
Xelzaz: I think they both are. Though the dunmer highly revere the dead, I think he’d wish to grant them honours for giving his past love a new chance at life.
Taliesin: Aw… that’s, very sweet actually.
Xelzaz: it is- now are you two going to help me heal him or are we just going to let him die on Kaidans back? *gestures to miraak*
Miraak: *groans*
Kaidan: oh yeah we’d better not let him die. Pffft, asshole doesn’t deserve to live anyway in my opinion.
Lucien: yes well Leilei wants him to. I’ll go get us some rooms.
Inigo: first round of drinks is on me!
Sero: Ah no serjo I’m a man of my word and I lost that game of cards fair and square! I’ll pay for the first round… then you can pay for all the others.
Inigo: hehehe~
*meanwhile inside*
Nerevar: *gently lays Riiju onto the large warm bed of the cosy room he’d ordered for the two of them* Vor- *pauses* heh, old habits. *gently nudges him* Leilei, wake up… I’m going to take your armour off so you can sleep comfortably…
Riiju-Lei: *shifts slightly, a warm smile still on his face as he blinks open all 3 eyes… only to suddenly pout and rub his forehead* why do I still have this thing?… the rest of my body went back to normal why’d this stick around?…
Nerevar: *smiles watching him sulk, just like he used to when he was over tired* I’m not sure, perhaps a reminder from the past but. I think it’s as beautiful as your other two.
Riiju-Lei: *visibly blushes and looks away feeling shy and not knowing how to deal with it* r-really?…
Nerevar: yes, really. *smiles stroking his cheek* may I undress you now? your armour doesn’t look very comfortable to rest in.
Riiju-Lei: I-I- n-no I I’ll- let me- oh gods how did I do this for the temple of dibella with a straight face?!
Nerevar: oh~? *quirks his brow* now that’s a story Id like to hear~
Riiju-Lei: I- *swallows a lump in his throat, trying to comprehend all these new sensations and feelings within himself* it… it’d be easier if I show you… w-would you?… like me to?…
Nerevar: … *gently holds his hand* only if you want to show me…
Riiju-Lei: *knowing they’ve technically only just met that day, but feeling a love burning inside of him that’s lasted for hundreds of years* … *sits upright and leans in close to him, their movements both marching in pace and distance, like they’d done this before* I want to show you I love you…
Nerevar: *blue eyes locked firmly onto his, both of them sparkling like rubies and sapphires in the candlelight* then do it so I may show my love for you too…
Riiju-Lei: *leans in close kissing him softly*
Nerevar: *gladly reciprocates*
*the next morning*
Kaidan: *wanders to the bar to order himself and Taliesin breakfast* oh good morning councillor Arano-
Adril Arano: I- oh forgive me- Kaidan correct? Please it’s urgent! We got news lord nerevar returned last night but nobody can find him! We fear for his safety-
Kaidan: oh nerevar, he’s-
Nerevar: *suddenly steps out of his and Lelei’s room only in a pair of trousers, hair a mess, and a look of bliss on his face, totally unaware of the hickies absolutely riddled across his torso* Ah, councillor, good morning. Oh good morning Kaidan!
Kaidan: *face going pink as he tries to hide his shit eating grin* fun night ay?
Nerevar: oh- Oh yes~. *smiles walking off to the bathhouse*

Taliesin: I- how? HOW on nirn are you still so damn quiet when that outfit has more bells than the god damned temple!!!
Riiju-Lei: *wind chimes and bells decorating both his clothes and his jewellery* it helps that I keep sneaking up on you when you’re too busy oggling Kaidans ass~
Taliesin: It is not oggling. Gentlemen do not oggle. They admire. And I’m admiring his clappable cheeks thank you very much.
#since house dagoth has a lot of relations to both bell and windchime like music I figured it’d be featured in their clothes too#riiju lei dragonborn#dunmer dragonborn#Kaidan skyrim#skyrim taliesin#Taliesin x Kaidan

Riiju-Lei: *steps out of the wretching netch, tying a piece of cloth around his forehead covering his third eye as he does so* right, back to skyrim the- *backs up as he’s suddenly surrounded by temple guards* I- what? What’s going on?!
Galdrus Hlervu: *emerges from behind the guards dragging Elder Othreloth by his arm* Oh you know exactly what’s going on here Sharmat! You may have everyone else on this island fooled but I know the truth!
Elder Othreloth: Galdrus! Stop this at once!!
Captain Veleth: *walks over with his men seeing the situation unfolding* What’s the meaning of this?! This lads put our settlement back on the map and even cleared your temple of Ash spawn! You have no grounds to threaten him in the street like this!
Galdrus Hlervu: With all do respect captain this is a matter concerning the ancestral temple so kindly run along. And as for grounds- *suddenly grabs the cloth from Riiju’s face pulling it from his head and showing his third eye* SEE?! I TOLD YOU! HE HAD YOU ALL FOOLED! THE COUNCILLORS AND THE CAPTAIN KNEW ABOUT IT!
Elder Othreloth: Galdrus you’re causing a scene-
Captain Veleth: A third eye does not the false dreamer make him. I once met an argonian with two tails, a dunmer with a third eyeball could be anybody-
Galdrus Hlervu: Oh really captain? Then how is it that both he and the Hortator were both reported to have coincidentally returned late last evening and now lord nerevar is missing hm?!
Riiju-Lei: p-please I can explain everything-
Galdrus Hlervu: Silence! You’ve spread your lies throughout this entire settlement to trick the good people here into thinking highly of you! But I know exactly who you are you n’wa-
Nerevar: You’d best think before you say what I think you’re about to, priest. *steps out of the doorway to the wretching netch, team dragonborn following behind him as the temple guards back up in shock to be in his presence*
Galdrus Hlervu: I- l-lord nerevar you’re alive-
Nerevar: Yes. I am. *grabs the cloth from his hand and yanks it away before gently tying it back around Leis brow, smiling at him adoringly as he does so* And he’s not the Sharmat. However he is the reincarnation of Voryn Dagoth. My closest friend, now much more… *flares down at the slimy weasel of a priest before him* And from what I hear. *glances around before looking back at him* He’s been kinder to the people of raven rock in the weeks he’s been here than you’ve been since you were stationed to this temple. Perhaps I should have him replace you.
Galdrus Hlervu: I- wh-what? *drops down to his knees* m-my lord wait-
Elder Othreloth: *catching on that nerevar just wants to make him squirm* Yes I’ve heard splendid things about you all around solstheim and word has even reached my ears from skyrim about you lad. Hard working, kind, and- *holds up the bag of coin he’d tried paying him for clearing out the ash spawn* Very generous. Shall I try giving this to you again or will you hide it in my coat pocket this time?
Riiju-Lei: *visibly blushes at being called out* I-h-heh, I don’t feel right accepting money from the temple sir, or from anyone here on raven rock it’s been hard- *looks around finally noticing how busy it is in the settlement* I? Gods what’s happened? This place is- booming.
Captain Veleth: *enjoying seeing Galdrus meltdown* Oh all this? This is all your work lad! You and your friends, this place is finally back on its feet and we have you lot to thank for it!
Elder Othreloth: And that’s yet another reason why I’ve been considering asking you to replace Galdrus!
Galdrus Hlervu: *on the verge of tears grovelling at nerevars feet, looks back at the elder priest* m-Master Othreloth! You can’t be serious!!
Nerevar: *trying not to laugh* Then it’s settled. By my right as Hortator, I hereby discommunicate you from the ancestral temple and appoint Riiju-Lei Dagoth, head of the 6th house now mourned as you’re replacement.
Galdrus Hlervu: *literally having a tantrum as his life’s work collapses before him, banging his fists on the ground and screaming between wailing sobs* NOOOO! NOOOO PLEASE NOOOO!!!
Riiju-Lei: *gently pats nerevars arm* as amusing as it is it is cruel, besides I swear too much to be a priest… don’t think I could get used to the underwear either. Let him keep his job… please?…
Nerevar: *smiles at him fondly before looking down at the snivelling elf at his feet* oh fine. Consider my decree null and void. You may keep your job if your superior sees fit.
Galdrus Hlervu: *snot and tears running down his face as he stops mid meltdown* I-I? M-my lord?
Elder Othreloth: hmmm, very well then. Though my offer still stands if he steps out of line like this again~
Captain Veleth: and speaking of which. *suddenly cuffs the priest pulling him off the ground and to his feet* Youre getting a night in the slammer for threatening a civilian with undo cause or writ, and for causing a public disturbance!
Galdrus Hlervu: I- w-wait no! No I’m sorry! IM SORRY! MASTER OTHRELOTH HELP ME!!
Elder Othreloth: No I think this’ll be good for you. And once you’re back your studying the lies of Vivec and cleaning the chamber pots!
Galdrus Hlervu: *screams as he’s dragged off*
Nerevar: *snickers watching him disappear through the crowd before looking at Riiju* are you okay?
Riiju-Lei: you… called me Riiju-Lei Dagoth… head of the 6th house, now mourned?…
Nerevar: I… yes. I apologise I should have made sure you were comfortable with the titles but I wanted him to know how important you are… to me… and to a lot of people in morrowind…
Riiju-Lei: *smiles softly* thank you… it’ll… take me a while to get used to it…
Nerevar: it’s okay… we have a long while yet before you’ll be hearing it often… but before then. *holds his hands* I want to go to skyrim. And see everything there is of Riiju-Lei, the last dragonborn~
Riiju-Lei: *smiles and starts laughing again, unable to contain his giddiness or control his emotions yet but honestly not wanting to in the slightest* okay!
Taliesin: …are we getting back on the water now?… *groans already feeling sea sick*
Miraak: you can ride on one of my dragons if you’d like-
Kaidan: *jealously yoinks Taliesin to his side* We. Will take the ship, and I’ll hold his pretty hair out of his face as he gets sea sick thank you!

The mourned and the heretics pt5
Part 4 here
———
Voryn: *groans rubbing his forehead after finally managing to sneak away from his family for a few moments of peace away from his constant study and the ringing of ritual bells and chimes* Azura why did I have to be born first?… *sighs and looks up at the small but rapidly growing city around the great temple of house indoril, taking in its serene peace and beauty as he sits up on the railings of the bridge in his usual spot to read* Why can’t I just be left alone… *opens his book and flicks through the pages to find where he’d left off, completely oblivious to the sound of rapidly growing footsteps and the screams of outrage from the high councillor to lord Indoril, until a golden flash suddenly bumps into him, sending him falling from the bridge and into the river below* UGH!! *gasps for air, heavy robes soaked and pulling him under* HE-ggll- *chokes as his head dips beneath the water, his hand flailing as the only thing to show him there before sinking under it too… only for another hand to to suddenly reach in and grab it pulling him back up onto the surface, right into the arms of the young lord of house indoril, nerevar* Iggh- *coughs up water and gasps for air, utterly drenched*
Nerevar: Oh gods I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to bump you in like tha- *recoils as he’s suddenly slapped hard across the face*
Voryn: *stands up nearly falling back into the river* L-Let go of me Y-you clumsy oaf! I almost die-
Nerevar: *quickly stands and catches him again pulling him away from the water* Woah- don’t make me save you a second time heh.
Voryn: S-save me?! You’re the one who pushed me in y-you *finally wipes his soaked hair out of the way to see who he’s actually addressing* l-lord nerevar I. *golden skin turning bright red* I- I’m so sorry I didn’t- I didn’t mean to hit you I-
Nerevar: *smiles* Id say we’re even but- *reaches into the river pulling out his now destroyed book* I think I owe you a new book-
???: VORYN!
Voryn: *jumps and looks up to see his father on the bridge with house indorils high councillor* f-father- I-I can explain.
Lord Dagoth: explain what?! How you fell into the river and struck lord nerevar for saving you?! Come here this instant!
Voryn: *sheepishly takes the book from nerevar and obediently comes to his fathers side, whimpering as he grabs him by his arm and forces him to bow to the councillor with him*
Lord Dagoth: Forgive our house for my petulant sons transgressi-
Nerevar: Lord Dagoth it was my fault!
Lord Dagoth: *glances back down at the younger chimer* you need not defend my son my young lord. He is a troublemaker far beneath you.
Nerevar: I’m defending him because he’s innocent! He was right to be cross with me. I knocked him into the bridge by accident and he almost drowned because of it. Please spare him your ire sir… we’re even.
Voryn: *looking at him in visible surprise, cheeks flushed pink and eyes sparkling*
Councillor indoril: The young lord nerevar was running from his duties as well lord dagoth. I witnessed him send your boy from the bridge with quite an impact. *bows respectfully* no harm has been done, no apologies are needed further. *smiles at them* house indoril will compensate you a new book young lord dagoth. *turns to nerevar* Nerevar. At my side. This. Instant.
Nerevar: *sheepishly falls into line running to his side* y-yes sir…
Voryn: *shyly watches them leave before gasping in fright as his father drags him away*
———
Nerevar: *seated by the riverbank after his coronation, watching the stars dance in the waters*
Voryn: *now a respected member of the council even at a lowly rank, quietly walks up behind him and grabs his shoulders* boo!
Nerevar: *jumps and grabs him suddenly flipping him into his lap making him squeal in surprise* Boo to you too~
Voryn: *snickers looking up at him as he lay in his lap* I wish you’d stop doing that.
Nerevar: No you don’t~
Voryn: *smiles and laughs softly* Tsk, I suppose you’re right, Hortator~
Nerevar: *sighs* that’s… going to take some getting used to.
Voryn: *looks up past him at the moon* there is no finer Chimer in all of Resdayn more suited for the title than you, moon and star…
Nerevar: *smiles down at him, gently stroking his cheek as he turns his gaze to his* and I can’t imagine a more perfect chimer in all of nirn to pick for my high councillor.
Voryn: *sits up in shock, hands placed on his shoulders in surprise* What?
Nerevar: you, my high councillor.
Voryn: *puffs up his cheeks in annoyance* awe stop teasing me! First I fail my entry exams for a higher rank and now you do th-
Nerevar: *gently kisses his cheek hugging him tight* I’m serious Voryn… I can’t do this without you by my side… please?…
Voryn: … *kisses his cheek back and holds him closer* I’ll forever be loyal to you, Nerevar… I will be at your side forever…
———
Voryn: *steps out of the temple and into the empty streets of Mournhold, the entire city within the temple to witness the marriage and coronation of queen Almalexia to the Hortator* … *looks around forlornly before walking to his and nerevars spot by the river, sitting down on the banks as he feels his heart shatter and tears fall freely* A-Azura. Azura why have you forsaken me? Wh-why have you broken my heart like this? Why her? Wh-why not me?… *leans against the tree and weeps into its mossy bark, his cries mixing to the distant music and celebrations of a wedding he can’t bear to witness*
———
Voryn: m-my nerevar no- don’t do it please! PLEASE GET ME AWAY FROM HERE!!
Nerevar: *staring in mounting horror at what had become of his friend* Voryn. Give me. The tools.
Dagoth Ur: I was instructed to keep them safe. I will not hand them to you.
Voryn: *a prisoner in his own body, screaming and begging from inside for nerevar to hear him* NEREVAR PLEASE!
Nerevar: So. Be it. *draws his blade and lunges*
Voryn: NEREVAR NOOOOO-
“WAKE. UP.”
Riiju-Lei: *jolts awake as visions of nerevar striking him down flash through his head followed by images of the masks of Vivec and Almalexia then dagoth urs face, his face, staring back at him* NO!
Nerevar: *jumps up in a panic reaching for his sword* I- what’s ha-
Riiju-Lei: *drenched in sweat, tears pouring down his face, looking at him in confusion and fear* I-I was screaming at you not to do it- I was begging you- you didn’t hear me you- I-
Nerevar: shhh shhh hey I-it’s okay. *reaches for him slowly, not wanting to scare him further* we’re still in the temple you’re okay it was just a nightmare-
Riiju-Lei: I watched you kill me through his eyes. I was screaming for you to stop, voryn was screaming for you to stop but you couldn’t hear him, you couldn’t h-hear me- *cries softly and shakes his head* y-you’re the reason my heart was broken…
Nerevar: … *gently embraces him* … so let me be the one to put it back together…

The Mourned & the heretics Pt9
Part 8 here
———
Riiju-Lei: *hurrying through the temple after sending the ordinators flying* gods I do not need this right before my wedding day, hurries into the library and nearly jumps out of his skin seeing the Grandmaster of house Dres standing there, flicking through one of the many notebooks Divayth Fyr had written on Voryn Dagoth & then later Dagoth Ur and the other members of his house* Grandmaster Dres-
Grandmaster of Dres: Ah, Voryn. *closes the book* I was hoping I’d get to speak with you. I wish to apologise for my behaviour.
Riiju-Lei: *hair at the back of his neck standing up and alarms ringing in his head, watching the grandmasters movements as he puts the book down* You do?…
Grandmaster of Dres: Yes. I know it’s no excuse, however I was greatly distressed over the destruction of all my plantations. Thousands of crops destroyed, decades of hard work gone, my employees left jobless. I was, distraught, to say the very least. Then hearing you had returned, I like many feared you’d of brought all the foul omens Dagoth Ur had created with you. But I see now I was mistaken. I apologise.
Riiju-Lei: okay. *walks past him to start searching for anything on Vivec or Almalexia in his notes*
Grandmaster of Dres: That’s it? I apologised and that’s all you have to say?
Riiju-Lei: Just because you apologised does not mean I am inclined to accept it. You attempted to lay harm to Nerevar, you repeatedly undermined his authority and you’ve belittled me multiple times. Need I remind you as well that my mother was branded with your house crest as a slave. Skalei-Jei, that was her name. Not a scaled beast as you’d call her. My birth mother was a prisoner in your families hold too, a follower of nerevar, and she suffered at the hands of you and your ancestors to free those you held in chains. As far as I’m concerned. Everything you own can burn. *picks up the books the grandmaster had been looking at and storms out*
Grandmaster of Dres: *smirks and walks out of library and through the temple, unaware of the archmagister and a certain argonian hiding themselves with a simple minor illusion spell*
Divayth Fyr: *drops the invisibility* He’s gone-
Xelzaz: I saw him slip something into the notebook.
Divayth Fyr: I’ll tail after the grandmaster, you go after LeiLei.
Xelzaz: as you wish serjo- *gets up from his position behind the bookshelf and hurries out down the hall after Riiju*
Divayth Fyr: *fixes his robes and walks from the library, taking a book with him to look as though he’d simply collected some reading material to last him the lockdown within the temple and using it to hide his hand as he casts stone flesh on himself, having a deep sense of dread in his gut telling him he’ll regret it if he doesnt* … *peers around the corner to see the grandmaster enter the communal latrine, eyes narrowing knowing full well he wouldn’t be caught dead using a public bathroom* where are you going… *casts invisibility on himself as he follows behind at a distance, peering into the restroom in time to witness the grandmaster open and climb through a hidden trap door beneath the stone work of the floor* Azuras mercy… *hurries off to fetch nerevar*
*Meanwhile*
Riiju-Lei: *now back in nerevars room flicking through the books, the ordinators he sent flying earlier now back at their posts and looking very worse for wear* nothing on vivec or almalexia! *tosses it to the side and opens another one* Ugh this is why you don’t burn books! *flips a page and blinks seeing a piece of paper fall from the page* hm?… *picks it up and opens it to see a message written inside*
“Come Dreamer, Friend or Foe, come to me father of the mountain beneath the fall, gaze upon the gears of gods.”
Riiju-Lei: *staring in bewilderment at the letter* father of the mountain?… beneath the fall- the clockwork city…
Xelzaz: *suddenly skids into the room* Riiju!
The ordinators: no visitors are-
Riiju-Lei: let him in.
The ordinators: *immediately step aside, both afraid of being launched again*
Xelzaz: *hurries in and starts flipping through the books in a panic* Where is it!? A note he put a note in here somewhere?!
Riiju-Lei: I- this? Note? You saw who planted it?
Xelzaz: *takes it and suddenly goes cold recognising the hand writing from the scriptures of Vivec* … We need to find nerevar, now.
Riiju-Lei: why what is it?
Xelzaz: The grandmaster planted this for vivec!
Riiju-Lei: *stands up and grabs his sword in case he needs it* I’ll go find him, you get Kaidan and the others!
Xelzaz: alright!
*Meanwhile*
Nerevar: *creeping through the sewers, Divayth Fyr* shhh… *freezes hearing voices up ahead* Divayth, stay hidden…
Divayth Fyr: *casts invisibility on himself once more and steps away from him in case*
Nerevar: *creeps slowly, steps muffled by the moss coating the stones as he sneaks up to a cistern chamber and slowly peers in to see Vivec, clad in old travel worn robes, head covered by a red shawl, and face concealed by his mask, and before him the grandmaster kneeling* …
Grandmaster of Dres: *looking up at Vivec* I did as you asked my lord and get you’ve still not made good on your promise!
Vivec: Plans have changed, child. With Voryn Dagoth now back in the picture, our plans for you are now obsolete, but you have been a faithful servant none the less and I assure you you will still be rewarded.
Grandmaster of Dres: You promised me the power he possessed! And now you’re denying me it?!
Vivec: Hush. I can no longer afford you his power now that it’s been confirmed he has reincarnated. However. Once I have him in my possession and nerevar lies dead, we will be strong enough to sap the god hood from that traitor Seht, and gift it to you.
Grandmaster of Dres: M-my lord- I- th-thank you! I would be honoured to take up the mantle of the clockwork god.
Nerevar: *backs up to leave and regroup with Divayth Fyr so they can gather reinforcements, only to gasp in agony as a dagger pierces his thigh* GAGHHH- *reaches for his sword and freezes as the knife touches his throat, and a dunmer woman’s hand grabs a fistful of his white hair* nghh- hello- alma.
Almalexia: Hello. Husband. *pushes him out into the cistern grinning wildly* We caught him! We caught him Vehk! Let me gut him! Let me choke him with his entrails!
Vivec: *smirks from behind his mask* Hello, Nerevarine.
Nerevar: hello cunt- *hisses in pain as alma yanks his hair back*
Almalexia: You do not speak! I will cut out your tongue this time!
Vivec: Hush now Alma. There is no point in expending the effort. Once we are done we will need not fear him reincarnating again, and the good daedra will no longer have the means to revive him…
Nerevar: You won’t succeed. I defeated you all once and I’ll do it agaiAARGHHH!! *pulls back in pain as Alma slices the dagger under his jawline as if prematurely slicing off his face in a second foul murder*
Vivec: ALMA.
Almalexia: *whines and shrieks shaking nerevars head* It’s not fair not faaair!!! He has my skin! My pretty gold skin! And look at how he’s cursed me! I’m filthy! Dirty! Ugly!!!
Nerevar: *glares back at her* among other thing- *hisses as vivec suddenly punches him across the face before grabbing hold of his arm as Alma grabs the other, both of them kicking the back of his legs making him drop to his knees* This feels familiar…
Vivec: Grandmaster of house Dres, *holds out his spear to him* Take my muatra in hand, and claim your new name sake of Dres Seht as you drive it through his heart…
Grandmaster of Dres: *takes the spear with trembling hands, a mix of honour and cowardice wracking his body as he stares down at nerevars blue eyes* Dres Seht… *smirks darkly and laughs* I honour my family by slaughtering you! Now you will pay for the downfall of house dres! *drives the spear through his chest*
Nerevar: *eyes rolling to the back of his head, the cracking of ribs ringing through his ears, almost drowning out the voice of Vivec and the feeling of his lips on his*
Vivec: Don’t weep… I’ll take good care of your Voryn… *smirks removing his mask as his face and skin twists in shape and colour, turning him into the spitting image of the Hortator* Come you two… leave him to wither and rot like he did us…
Dres Seht: *pulls muatra from nerevars chest making him seemingly choke out his final breath* yes my lor- *recoils as vivec suddenly takes the spear from him, making it disappear*
Vivec: Alma.
Almalexia: *knife already hanging over nerevars face once more* But Vehk!
Vivec: Patience Pet… you’ll have an eternity once we’re done to torment him. Come… *takes her hand and leads them from the cistern, up the ladder and into the temple, the blood of the nerevarine allowing them entry at last*
Divayth Fyr: *drops the illusion and runs to Nerevars side* oh gods, oh please no…

The mourned and the heretics pt1
Follow up from this post
———
Kaidan: Morrowind ey? When do we leave?
Riiju-Lei: I? You guys, want to come along?
Taliesin: Of course~ as, charming as skyrim is, Xelzaz & Sero have charmed me with tales of blacklight and I’d love to see it for myself~
Kaidan: aye, and the dominion has no presence there.
Khash: When are we going??
Riiju-Lei: *remembers his mothers stubby tail, where it had been docked and punctured for a chain to be looped through it to bind her to her station in the ash rice fields… the whip marks on her back and legs, her smooth numbs were her horns had been hacked clean out* …
Xelzaz: *gently pats Khash on the head* Morrowind is still a very. Very dangerous place for argonians Khash. I’m safe because of my ties to house telvanni but, you yourself have told me that other argonians attack you, and with many, many violent ones still rampaging through the land, it’s not safe for you there.
Khash: but- I can protect myself I-
Riiju-Lei: Xel is right Khash… please. *pats her head and smiles* stay home.
Khash: b-but I missed out on the trip to solstheim too! This isn’t fair!
Caryalind: oh Khash, it’s not all bad. Miraak and I will be sitting this one out too.
Riiju-Lei: you will be?
Caryalind: of course! Someone has to help Lydia watch the kids.
Miraak: Besides, I have a lot to catch up on with Paarthurnax… Khash, would you like to visit him with me? He quite liked the flower crown you made him last time.
Khash: I- wait! Really?! I can actually come meet him now?!
Miraak: of course. So long as you’re alright with flying.
Khash: I GET TO FLY THERE?!
Miraak: so long as your father is okay with it?
Riiju-Lei: I’m fine with it, just- please don’t let her fall off.
Nerevar: *chuckles* well childcare is sorted then, Lucien? Inigo will you be coming?
Inigo: Yes absolutely! Are- things okay there for khajiit though?
Nerevar: I believe so. Of course there are a few bad yams to spoil the crop but it’s a lot more pleasant there now than it was a few hundred years ago.
Inigo: great! Count me in then!
Lucien: Oh can we please visit some dwemer sights there?! I want to see how they differ from skyrim and solstheim.
Nerevar: I can take you to the court of my old-… Acquaintance… Dumac. *sighs* it’s not in the best shape now, but I spent many days and nights there with him… he was my closest friend next to voryn.
Riiju-Lei: *gently holds his hand*
Nerevar: *smiles and squeezes it* though, now we’re a lot more than just friends.
Riiju-Lei: speaking of which… the reason we decided to leave for morrowind now is… we’re getting married.
Everyone: WHAT?!
Khash: b-but you promised I could be the flower girl!!
Riiju-Lei: and you will be Khash. When we come home and have a ceremony here that is.
Nerevar: because we both have such widely different pantheons and cultural rules, given he was raised in a nord household. We’ll get married in morrowind first and unify our houses.
Riiju-Lei: then come home and be married under the eyes of mara.
Khash: so? So I won’t miss out then?
Riiju-Lei: *smiles* no dear, I want you and all your brothers and sisters to be there. But morrowind is a very long trip away, and you really hate water. More than taliesin does I believe.
Taliesin: my stomach and I. HIGHLY, doubt that.
Khash: I do hate water… *plays with her shirt a little*
Riiju-Lei: Oh Khash… *pulls her into a hug* it’ll only be for a couple months dear. You won’t even notice we’re gone…
Khash: but that feels like forever… what will I do on my own?…
Riiju-Lei: you won’t be on your own Khash. *smiles* you’ll have Cary and Miraak, and Lydia and your brothers and sisters. You’re not on your own anymore little shadowscale…
Khash: *looks down shyly then back up at him* will you bring me back something pretty??
Riiju-Lei: *chuckles* yes Khash. I’ll keep an eye out for a bow maybe. Or a new dress. Maybe some interesting flowers we can grow here.
Khash: *gasps and claps her hands* Ohh! Yes please!!! *hugs onto him* but- wait. If you two are getting married… Mr nerevar what do I call you?
Nerevar: *smiles* whatever you’d like Khash. It’s not my place to demand a title from you. But I’ll raise you along side LeiLei, and I’ll love you and all your siblings as my own. Speaking of which- aren’t you? Playing hide and seek right now?
Khash: …I FORGOT I WAS IT!!!! *bolts out of the house scrambling to find the other kids*
Kaidan: *snickers* She’ll be okay… so… when are we leavin?
Nerevar: in a couple days. It should give everyone time to prepare. It’ll be a very long trip.
Lucien: I’ll write home tonight and- is there somewhere I can redirect my mail?
Nerevar: I’ll give you the address to the Mournhold post house. They collect all the correspondence for the temple separately for us.
Xelzaz: I? Temple? Sir?
Nerevar: of course, that’s where we’ll be staying mainly and we’ll travel from there. As head of house indoril and the Hortator it’s the seat of my kingdom. You’re all my welcomed guests.
Taliesin: Well then~ I’ll start packing~
Sero: Me living in a temple~ it’ll be a miracle if it doesn’t collapse on my head haha!
*Meanwhile in the bowels of the clockwork city*
Vivec: *steps into the main chamber after making light work of all the guards both flesh and metal* my, my… *removes his hood and mask, pacing around the room, staring at the mechanical corpse of sotha sil* what a number you’ve done to yourself my friend… *walks to it and pulls a ceremonial mask from his cloak, placing it onto the corpses face* no matter, let me put you back together… *takes muatra in his hand and slices his thumb with the tip, letting his blood drip into the open screaming maw of the mask* awaken back to this realm Seht, walk the waking dream once more so we may take ou-
“No.”
Vivec: *looks around hearing the familiar voice of sotha sil* Seht?… *looks to the corpse but senses no life or response from it… before slowly glancing up to see the steam from the many pipes and valves forming into the shape of a dunmer* you… you promised… You promised we’d ascend together!!! Instead you left me here to fester in this body!!! You left almalexia to wither away with your disfigured corpse!!!
Sotha sil: *glares down at him, form twisting and shifting in the steam* That was before I saw the person you really were, Vehk. Before I saw the person she, really was… When we betrayed Nerevar we agreed it was for our people. For the betterment of our people… I held true to that promise and left them this city so I may continue to help them… you two. Fell to vanity. Greed. Lust. And power corrupted you both and when the heart began to fade from your grasp your true colours revealed themselves from beneath the grey and gold. Almalexia killing me was the last phase of my plan. By striking me down with the last of her power I ascended… please my friend. It is not too late for you to do the same… Don’t pursue this path… it will only lead to your end…
Vivec: *glares up at him gritting his teeth in anger* you knew she was coming to kill you… you planned this! You used her and left her to die!!
Sotha Sil: She made her choice even in her madness… If this is the path you wish to take Vivec… I will not help you… goodbye my friend *disappears as the steam suddenly evaporates*
Vivec: *steps back and laughs softly* you… h-heheh- you sneaky- FUCKING BASTARD!!! *runs muatra through his mechanical corpse ripping it from its now obsolete wires and framing letting it drop and shatter to the floor* I should have listened to alma and killed you when we did nerevar… *pulls another ceremonial mask from his cloak and looks around the chamber before spotting a pile of bones and armour nestled haphazardly in the corner of the room, her body just left there to decay by nerevar when he walked as the nerevarine* At least she’ll help me… *walks to the bones and gently places the mask on the skull before squeezing his blood into its mouth* Breathe life once more, walk the waking dream… *steps back watching as the bones begin to connect and sinewy tissue begins to worm and twist its way over them like hundreds of writhing worms that give way to muscles and organs before being covered in a dark, grey, flesh* Rise now. Almalexia.
Almalexia: *floats up from the ground, landing on her feet letting the mask drop to the floor revealing her new dunmer face* …Agh- *snaps her head back and gasps in a deep, long breath as she opens two, red eyes before bellowing out a roar like a wounded animal* NEREVAR!!

Riiju-Lei: *holding his scarf* Nerevar.
Nerevar: hm? *turns around and smiles at him* what is it my dreamer?
Riiju-Lei: *gently wraps the very old dark blue fabric around his shoulders* I…it’s not of any value but it’s the most important thing I own.
Nerevar: a? Scarf?
Riiju-Lei: it was the sling my mother carried me in when she brought me to skyrim. It was my swaddle, my blanket, and now my scarf. I… I want you to have it.
Nerevar: oh… *covers his mouth as he tears up, gently feeling the still soft fabric between his fingers* my LeiLei, my voryn. I-I love it so much. *gently pulls him in close, kissing his lips, then gently kissing just above his third eye, smiling as he feels his eyelashes tickle his chin as it flutters closed*
Riiju-Lei: *smiles and laughs softly hugging onto him* It’s the least I can do to keep you warm…
Nerevar: …Leilei?… are you okay?…
Riiju-Lei: how… how is this going to work?… you, you’re the Hortator. The king of morrowind. Leader of the ancestral temple. What are we going to do when… you go back to morrowind?… I… I can’t just uproot the children and. I’ve never been to morrowind, the closest I came to it was solstheim and… I’m afraid of being closer to that mountain after what those rocks did to me… I, I was raised by an argonian and a nord. I don’t know how to be a dunmer, I don’t know the laws, the hierarchy. I’ve tried to take in everything you’ve taught me and… I don’t understand any of it… *looks up at him sadly* I don’t know if I want to leave my life behind here either… my friends… skyrim is my home I don’t know anything else but… if I’m away from you… I’ll feel empty again…
Nerevar: *gently holds his hands in his* oh my dreamer… my love… my LeiLei… We will make it work. We’ll figure something out… Maybe we just visit for the first time. I show you around. Let you see your birthplace with your own eyes. Let you see how you like it… and if it doesn’t fit you then… I’ll resign. And come live here with you.
Riiju-Lei: I? What?! N-no you can’t give up your life and homeland for me I-
Nerevar: My life is meaningless without you in it… I have lived two very long lives and I have experienced so much and I will live a long while yet to experience more… but I’ve spent the last 200 years looking for you Riiju-Lei. I have sailed from morrowind to akavir and beyond to find you… and now that I have you in my life again a hole in my heart is now filled and cannot bear to lose you again. *squeezes his hands a little* I’ve already lost you twice. I can’t let go a third time… if it will make you happy then I’ll be happy with whatever choice we make. I love you LeiLei… my voryn. My dreamer…
Riiju-Lei: *shakily let’s go of his hands and slides his arms around his waist* …Will you marry me?…
Nerevar: *gasps softly and whispers a breathy* yes. *doesn’t hesitate for a moment and pulls him in close kissing him softly*
*meanwhile, in the depths of the clockwork city*
Guard: *patrolling quietly, bored out of his mind wondering why they even bother patrolling down here when the automatons do a good enough job on their own* hm? *pauses hearing footsteps approaching* I? Hello? Whose there?
???: I’m here to take over your shift…
Guard: What? I only just started- *looks to the shadows to see a hooded and masked figure approaching him with a very odd spear in their hand* who are you?…
???: Me?? *raises his spear* I’m Vivec.

Nerevar: *rolls over and feels about the other side of the bed for LeiLei, wanting to hold him as he sleeps only to feel an empty space* hmmuh?… *blinks open his eyes to see the room is still dark* LeiLei?… *sits up and pulls on his robe before casting a magelight to see the space empty, only him* … *hurries downstairs and pauses hearing soft humming from the kitchen* Leilei? *walks in to see Taliesin getting a head start on breakfast for everyone*
Taliesin: hm? Oh nerevar good morning, what’s… wrong.
Nerevar: where’s LeiLei?… I woke up and he was gone.
Taliesin: oh he’d be down at one of the farms. *pulls a loaf of bread out of the oven*
Nerevar: I? The farms? Why?
Taliesins: Honestly I haven’t the faintest idea why. Kaidan thinks he enjoys the familiarity of hard work. He grew up a stable boy and farm hand before becoming a healer and then being forced to take up the sword. My best guess is he’s just overwhelmed by how much is changed he needs a moment to clear his head. Though divines can only know what the real answer is.
Nerevar: it’s still dark out what if he gets hurt? Did he take his sword with him at least-
Taliesin: *snickers* I understand you haven’t had the chance yet to see him in action, but he’s not someone in need of protecting. He’s the dragonborn for auriels sake. He’ll come back in one piece I assure you, the most damage will be to his clothes with the level of sweat and dirt he’ll be working up.
Nerevar: I… You’re right, I’m just… I can’t help but worry…
Taliesin: I can understand that. You wouldn’t want to see the state I work myself into whenever Kaidan gets himself hurt. It’s an ugly one-
*door unlocking followed by a soft creaking*
Taliesin: oh he’s home~
Nerevar: *steps out of the kitchen to see Riiju walking in, covered in dirt, holding a basket of fresh produce under one arm along with a couple eggs, and his other arm hugged to his chest… wrapped in a bandage* …
Riiju-Lei: *kicking off his boots* gods- oh! Good morning ne-
Nerevar: *already in front of him holding his hand* What happened?!
Riiju-Lei: I- I-it’s nothing to worry about they just got chapped and split open. I wrapped it to keep the dirt out I’m oka-
Nerevar: I?! Split open?! *unwraps it to see several open splits on his dry hands, and now finally noticing the hundreds of callouses and other healed splits riddling them* VORYN!!!!
Riiju-Lei: sh-Shh! You’ll wake the whole house!
*A thorough bath later*
Riiju-Lei: *all clean, laying comfortably in bed smiling up at nerevar* you’re being ridiculous.
Nerevar: *rubbing a moisturiser into his hands after cleaning them* I. Am being. Perfectly, reasonable. *brings it to his lips giving it a kiss* okay, now the other one.

Nerevar: *shivers adjusting his cloak as the ship sails into windhelms harbour* azuras mercy I forgot how cold it was here.
Riiju-Lei: *just wearing a shirt and trousers with a pair of boots* hm? Oh yes. I suppose I’m used to it. My father used to put me in the snow when I’d have fits as a child.
Nerevar: I? That seems a bit harsh, children are meant to throw tantrums.
Riiju-Lei: hm? What? Oh no I never threw tantrums I, never felt anything enough to even get frustrated like that. No I’d… get very hot, and then my body would start convulsing. So he’d put me in the snow to cool me down. I got used to it and after a while the fits just stopped until… well until I came into contact with debris from red mountain… I now know it was ur dagoth attempting to possess my body when I was an infant but… Voryn, I? Me? Myself. *sighs* I was already in possession of my new body and thanks to my fathers intervention.
Nerevar: you stayed in possession of it… *smiles softly at him then at the shipyard as the argonians wave from the docks before diving in to guide the ship into port* I can’t wait to meet him.
Riiju-Lei: …I think he’d of liked you… mother too…
Nerevar: *squeezes his hip gently*
Riiju-Lei: *rests his head on his shoulder* …
*water splashing and the sounds of a very sickly high elf bringing up his dinner yet again*
Riiju-Lei: *looks over to see Taliesin slumped over the rails hurling* I thought he’d of been able to hold it in we’re nearly home.
Kaidan: *holding Taliesins hair back* the ship lurched and so did his stomach. *pats taliesins back* were home love…
Taliesin: gods k-kill me- *grabs the rails hurling again*
Scouts-Many-Marshes: *from the water below, definitely swam into it* UGH WHAT THE FUCK?!
*a few hours later*
Riiju-Lei: *walks into the hall of the dead quietly, a bottle of mead and a bushel of snowberrys and dragon tongues in hand* miss Helgird?
Helgird: *wrapping a body for burial* Oh now here’s a face I haven’t seen in a while! Hello LeiLei, come to visit your parents I assume? Oh, and you brought friends?
Riiju-Lei: *looks back at team dragonborn and nerevar* yes, they, wanted to meet them too. A… lot of things have changed with me and they want to make sure I’ll be okay seeing them again.
Helgird: *smiles warmly* I’m glad to see you’ve finally found people who care about you dear. You know where to go, and the rest of you- *waves an embalming hook at them menacingly* keep your voices down. The dead can still be woken you know. *snickers and resumes working*
Riiju-Lei: *smiles and nods* it’s good to see you again Helgird. *walks past her and down a corridor leading to the older burial chambers*
Nerevar: *walks along side him quietly observing the Nordic burial practices finding them odd compared to dunmer culture* she seems very familiar with you.
Riiju-Lei: yes, I’ve known her her whole life in fact. When she became the carer to the hall of the dead I’d see her once a month when I’d come to visit my parents… *stops in front of a wall with two urns nestled side by side to each other, dried snow berries and dragon tongues beside one, and a bottle of mead by the other* …
Nerevar: Leilei?…
Riiju-Lei: *feeling a sadness deep inside of him finally bubbling to the surface as tears he couldn’t shed back then finally begin to spill* th-… this is ma and da… *removes the dried flowers and replaces them with the new before doing the same with the mead* I… *chokes back a sob as his heart is finally allowed to grieve* I miss them.
Nerevar: *hugs him gently as team dragonborn crowd around him to comfort him too* They’d be so proud of you… *smiles seeing two ghostly figures appear that only he can see, an old nord and Argonian couple, both of them smiling and hugging onto Riiju as he cries, not even knowing they’re there* …They missed you too…
