((Don't mind at all. Oh sorry about the spelling mistakes. I just thought about it and typed as I went. However I will fix it later.)) I caught myself in a state of mind-absentness. When I finally came I saw a Bosmer standing on the staircase with me holding a pouch with 'shiny rocks' in it. I slowly examined her with my eyes to see if I could find anything about her personality. Evidently I didn't find anything that truly stood out to me. So I just watched and kept silent as the Bosmer and the Speaker spoke to each other.

M'aiq stood and did an awkward type of skip over to the Bosmer and took up the small piece of diamond. He sure did love things that sparkled and glittered. He held it up in the light and danced about a bit before taking a seat back in his desk.
He cleared his throat and said, "M'aiq finds it acceptable. He especially likes that it was stolen from a human. Perhaps you're not a completely useless Bosmer after all." M'aiq walked over to the table and shoved both the Golden Saints out of their chairs. He set out some food and drink for his guests and said, "The Khajiit invites both of you to make yourselves at home...even you, little strange Bosmer."

Ralen found the Khajiit's comments quite odd, but didn't say anything, not wishing to offend. She was a polite little Bosmer, after all. Albeit a chatty one. And a murderous one. And an annoying one.
Ah well.
The young Murderer sat down on a seat that had been used by one of the Golden Saints currently lying on the floor. She pretended not to see them, and took a delicate nibble from a piece of the bread. She nodded, enjoying the taste.
Having guessed that the odd Khajiit's name was M'aiq from his speech, the Bosmer now turned to the Dunmer. "So, tell me, what's your name?" She asked cheerfully, and took another bite of bread.

After a moment I remembered M’aiq asked me to partake in skooma. I looked at him strangle then politely said.
“Sorry speaker I don’t drink skooma. It’s for the better health of myself and others around me.”
Then I smiled nicely and took the offered seat given to me by the speaker. While sitting I noticed the golden saint on the ground wasn’t moving. I thought to myself that is was only due to the mead but, of course I could be wrong. To my surprise I heard the bosmer ask me a question. I ran the question through my head again to think of an adequate answer. Of course I just blurted with out thinking.
“Oh, me I’m Thanatos Crohaven and, if I may ask if you may identify yourself to me.”

"Good to meet you Thanatos! Dunmer aren't usually so nice to me." Ralen replied cheerfully. "Since you probably weren't paying attnetion before, or you wouldn't have asked what my name is since I already told you, I'm Ralen Jalarann, but my friends call me Rae. Guess you can also."
She frowned thoughtfully. "Did you say something about Skooma? I like skooma. It's sweet, and makes you feel all dreamy." The Bosmer let out a happy sigh.
"Say, what are you two doing down here anyway?"

After she had told me who she was again. I smiled at her nicely then replyed.
"Nice to meet you as well Ralen and, yes I did say something about skooma. I was saying that I don't drink it because last time I did I nearly burned down a building. So I wish not to do that again."
When I realized she had asked me what I was doing down here I had to think of something fast. For I didn't know if she was a dark sister or not. So while thinking of an answer I took my staff and shifted my weight so I could use it if I needed to.
"Oh, I'm just stopping by to say hello to a friend for I'm headed the Mages Guild here in town. I have guild 'business' to take care of there...So if I may ask in return what are you doing here in a place like this?"

Ralen let out a heavy sigh. "Ah, you obviously weren't listening, were you?" She asked cheekily. "I just told M'aiq there that I'm looking for rocks." A sudden thought occured to her. According to Jiub, before his 'dissapeareance', M'aiq the Liar was the Speaker of the Leyawiin Sanctuary. A coincidence, or...?
She turned to the Khajiit. "Say, are you related to someone called M'aiq the Liar by any chance?"

The Khajiit thought about Thanatos' statement. Visiting a friend, huh? No one would live in a hole like this. He chuckled mentally. Then, he realized, Oh wait, M'aiq does live here.
M'aiq perked a brow and answered, "...No. M'aiq is not related to M'aiq. The Khajiit is M'aiq. Why does the Bosmer know his name?"

Ralen frowned thoughtfully. "Eh, you've said your name, strange Khajiit." She finally replied, her expression still thoughtful.
One delicate hand reached into her pouch again, and finally came up with a map. Or, more precisely, a map of Leyawiin, given to her by one of the senior Anvil Sanctuary Sisters. It was written in Elvish, a language that Ralen was quite familiar with. She studied it, and then pointed to the spot marked "Blackwood Company Hall, Leyawiin Sanctuary, Ran by Shady. The name Shady was crossed out, and M'aiq the Liar written in its place.
Ralen looked up. "Say, is this the Leyawiin Sanctuary?" She asked cheerfully.

M'aiq pointed to Ralen and quickly asked, "Are you a spy for the Morag Tong? Are you trying to kill M'aiq?!"
"If that's so," he added as he stepped behind Thanatos, "then, you'll have to get through him. And M'aiq's...Golden Saints."
He looked down at the two Golden Saints who were barely conscious on the floor.

I was blankly looking around the basement with my eyes while M'aiq and Ralen were engaged in conversation. The odd noises coming from the drunk Golden Saints was beginning to make me worried. For they are the sanctuaries defense against intruders that are un-welcomed.
However my thoughts ceased when I heard Ralen ask if this was the Layawiin Sanctuary. I then looked at her puzzled. It seems she has no idea where she’s at.
Speaker M’aiq was also beginning to make me feel worried. It seems he thinks Ralen is a Tong spy. Well in that case I slowly stood from my wooden chair and held my mages staff in front of me. I then slowly turned my head so it would face M’aiq.
“Don’t worry sir, leave everything to me…” I said with a wink.
I then turned my head back around to face Ralen. I smile at her politely with evil grin.
“Ralen, It seems M’aiq doesn’t trust you at the moment…Would you please answer a small question so that we my clarify something. The question is, what is the color of night?” I said with the same grin but, this time with my Dunmer eyes glaring at her.

"I am not a spy for the Morag Tong, you daft old Khajiit! Err...I mean, most honourable Speaker!" Ralen quickly corrected herself.
Of course, the daft old Khajiit/most honourable Speaker paid her no attention, and proceeded to tell her that she had to go through Thanatos...and the Drunken Golden Saints.
Like that was going to be a problem.
With a sigh, Ralen stuffed her map back into her pouch and stood up.
“Ralen, It seems M’aiq doesn’t trust you at the moment…Would you please answer a small question so that we my clarify something. The question is, what is the color of night??
Idiot Dunmer.
"The colour of the night is black, of course." Ralen answered with an annoyed sigh. "Poke your head out of the Sanctuary if you want to have a look; it's night now." She suddenly frowned. "Of course, if this is a trick question which they give to all new Sanctuary members, the colour of the night is s-sa-san-sanguine or saqueenie or regina or something. Stupid long words."
She stared at the Dunmer. "Say, this isn't a trick to get me to reveal the secrets of the Brotherhood is it? If it is, then prepare to die!"
The Bosmer whipped out her twin knives with obvious ease, standing in a ready position.

After Ralen had answered my question my glare died and I resumed my smile. Even though her blades were now drawn and, she was facing with them.
“Ralen, why would a fellow assassin try to make another tell the secrets of the Brotherhood, when they already know them? In any case, sheath your blades, all I was trying to do is to see is if you were a spy for the Morag Tong and, it seems that you are not. So I thank you for your cooperation.”
I then relaxed my staff and turned my head just enough so I could see Speaker M’aiq.
“Speaker, she is no spy. So please in the name of Sithis stop acting like a coward and, trying to hide behind the drunk Golden Saints. Besides if she were a spy, she would have killed me earlier.”
I then sat back down in my seat with my staff laying on my lap so I could use it quickly in case things got nasty.

M'aiq glanced down at Thanatos and said in a low tone, "Coward? M'aiq thinks that's awfully bold for an Assassin to say. Also, the sanctuary defenses are more effective than they seem, M'aiq assures."
M'aiq smiled then nodded to skeletal remains in the corner. Two humerus bones protruded from the skull's mouth, and the legs were nowhere to be seen. He knocked the back of Thanatos' head with his fist for his disrespect and then took a seat.
"So you're a Dark Brotherhood member," M'aiq said to Ralen before drinking a bit of Skooma. "Looks like they let just anyone in these days, huh? Even Bosmer. Haha, M'aiq jests." He laughed lightheartedly before continuing with, "It's good to have some family around, huh? Been quiet here. Many of the members have made themselves scarce."
"Of course," M'aiq added, thinking about the past, "it's not entirely strange for Dark Brotherhood members to go missing."

Ralen shrugged and nodded her agreement. "I remember that fateful day when dear Speaker Jiub dissapeared..." She remarked in a rather solemn tone. "It seemed that those nasty Dunmer from Vi-somethingorother finally caught up with him. Nasty Dunmer..."
She glanced apologetically at Thanatos. "No offense to you." She aadded lightly.
The little Bosmer sheathed her knives with one fluid movement, and sat down again, whistling a merry tune.
