"Well, what proof do you have that says he is a member of the Mage's Guild? Also, what proof do you have that says you are not a fellow assassin trying to save the life of this man?"
After he said that Sunaru wanted to cast a fireball into his face, but he knew it would lead him straight into a prison, yet he couldn't ignore his urges. He was tired and sick of running into anoyying people. He decided he didn't care about going to prison, they have beds there, at least he could get some rest, besides, it's not like he would have to stay long.
Sunaru's patience dissapeared.
"You accuse me of being in the Dark Brotherhood? How dare you! What proof do YOU have of your brother or me being in the Dark Brotherhood?!! Huh?! Even if he was, why would you put him in jail!? What did you do? Huh? Sneak up behind him and knock him out?! Huh!?! Are you a backstabbing traitor to your brother?!?! Huh?!"
After that Sunaru felt like falling over and sleeping right there, but he just sighed and blinked his eyes.

At this Sir Gaberial was shocked, For he didn't have proof that Thanatos was an assassin or not, it was only by word of mouth. But this man spoke the truth he was a backstabber to his brother, and if this would of happened in Morrowind, Thanatos would be allowed to kill him for such be-trail to his kin.
"You're right..." Sir Gaberial shuddered. "I... I was just so convinced that he was an assassin...I just had to arrest him...But you're right what you said. I would bring my family much dishonor if I had gone through with this..." Said Sir Gaberial
At this point Sir Gaberial remembered all the fun times him and Thanatos had as children... He had also remembered when they had to go their own separate ways later on, and for that Gaberial resented Thanatos for that.
Gaberial also remembered their mother showing more compassion and more of everything else to Thanatos rather then both of them, and for that he resented him. She always showed you favor over him, she would always give more honor to Thanatos then Gaberial, and for that he resented him...
"Alright, let him go boys, hes innocent..." Said Sir Gaberial to his men...
With that the Imperial soldiers released Thanatos and set him free.
With much done for Thanatos, he picked himself off of the ground and looked at then man and said
"You saved my life, and for that I thank you. You went out of your way to do this, and for that I thank you. I owe you, whenever the time comes and you need help, just let me know." Said Thanatos.

Sunaru nodded, he didn't think Sir Gaberial would reply so kindly, Sunaru just yelled at the man and now he seemed...sad. All thought of that dissapeared when he realized, again, how tired he was. Then Thanatos got up and said, "You saved my life, and for that I thank you. You went out of your way to do this, and for that I thank you. I owe you, whenever the time comes and you need help, just let me know.".
Sunaru replied, "Oh, your welcome. I must go now to get some rest though, so perhaps we'll meet again, farewell, and now if you'll excuse me..."
Sunaru slipped past the group of guards and headed to the inn keeper.

Sir Gaberial stood there for a moment or so before, even blinking an eye, or even moving for that matter.
"Come, on boys lets continue our search for assassins..." Sir Gaberial said.
With that Sir Gaberial and the other Imperial Legionaries followed behind their commander.
Thanatos, in the mean time wiped the sweat from his brow, and walked over towards the khajiit women whom he offered to help earlier, while giving a nod to the man who helped him as he walked away from the guards.
"Miss, my offer still stands...Are you ready to see your sister?" Thanatos asked her.

Sunaru talked with the innkeeper a moment before nodding, placing a few septims in the innkeeper's hand, and heading upstairs, taking note on the way up of Thanatos talking to a khajiit. As he arrived in his room, he placed his pack on the floor and laid down. After a few moments, he fell asleep.
(Very short post, I know.)

"Please, call this one Shikura." The Khajiit murmured, inclining her head slightly. Her ears flicked. "This Khajmer apologises for not being able to help out more, but your...friend seemed to....what is it you Imperials say? Have things under control? Yes, that." She half-shrugged, and clapped a hand against her forehead.
"Shikura wastes time!" She exclaimed. "Of course Shikura wishes to see Ralen! Ralen misses Shikura, yes?" The Khajiit peered keenly at Thanatos. For the first time, a trace of uncertainty lingered in her feline eyes.
"Shikura....does not believe you have told her how you know her Bosmer sister..." She murmured.

Thanatos was pleased to meet this khajiit, it had been a while since he had a conversation with a sane khajiit. Also if this is the sister of Ralen, he would be helping a fellow Dark Sister.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Lady Shikura. My name is Thanatos, but this isn't important. The important thing is I know your sister Ralen, whom I know personally. I know her by our business. we are guild mates." I said
Technically this isn't a lie, I don't completely lie to people, I only tell half-truths. Now when I spoke to that man to defend myself, that wasn't a lie. It was a half-truth hiding a lie.
"Ralen and I mainly talk to each other in our home guild hall in Anvil, but we'll meet her at an inn or tavern or something...Is this fine with you?" I asked politely.

Shikura's ears flattened. "You lie." She hissed suddenly, her lips curling back into a vicious snarl. "You could not have known Ralen from the Mages Guild. This one is Ralen's sister. This one knows that Ralen could not cast a spell to save her life."
Her eyes narrowed, then gleamed craftily. "Or perhaps you were not lying, on this at least. Perhaps you really are a member o--" She shook her head abruptly. "No. Then it would mean that she lied....She said she had it under control...."
Shikura looked extremely distressed now. Even the bright blue ribbons expertly twined into her straw-like hair seemed to droop.
"Please. This Khajmer begs you. Tell Shikura the truth. The complete truth..."

I smiled to myself internally once she found out my half-truth was also a half-lie which in my case are funny. Anyway I would be breaking a tenant if I were to tell her the complete truth, but I'll tell only what I can.
So I focused on her and spoke into her mind again...
"Yes, I lied, I am a member of the Dark Brotherhood, however, I'm also a member of the Mage's Guild. Anyway, your sister Ralen is a 'Dark Sister' of mine, thats what we call fellow members of the Dark Brotherhood. I met your sister shortly upon my arrival here in Cyrodiil."
I then cleared my throat and hoped that this doesn't come back to bite me in my arse.
"I hope that clears things up..." I said.
All that I said to her was the full truth no halfs, nothing. I only told her what I could about Ralen, otherwise I would be breaking a tenant.

Shikura actually let out a low moan. "Oh dear, dear, sweet moon sugar...." Sh murmured, her head clutched in her hands. "Shikura told her not to go, but she didn't listen. Shikura wanted what was best for her....Shikura knew. And yet, Shikura did not stop her...."
There was a haunted, desparate look in the Khajiit's eyes as she looked up. "'Tis too late now." She murmured sadly. "Shikura chose, Ralen chose, and this one thinks that both of them chose wrong. Shikura never should have come. She should have listened to Ralen...."
The feline eyes narrowed again. "You know that Ralen is clever though, yes? She hides it behind much talk. Talk, talk, talk. Talk and stories. And yet, she knows much. More than Shikura does. Perhaps she is just toying with you, hmm? She has a dark side. Shikura knows this. Still, one could say most people have a dark side. Ralen hides it better than most."
Shikura wrung her hands. "Ach, listen to this Khajiit-Bosmer prattle on and on. Nothing but talk, talk, talk. 'Tis too late." She repeated again, and stared at Thanatos. There was no hesitation in her eyes.
"Take Shikura to her sister."

I listened closely to the khajiit's words but, Ralen being clever...Thats a new one to me. Not to be mean to my Dark Sister but, I never found Ralen to be clever at all. But what Shikura seems to be telling the truth, consider she knows far more about Ralen then I... However, that cute, hyper bosmer... I mean crazy hyper bosmer...
"With pleasure..." I said.
I'll take the khajiit to Anvil, to see her sister. I hope at least Ralen is there when we arrive. Otherwise this will make me look like a liar, which I'm not....Actually thats a lie because, I lie to the Mage's Guild because I'm a necromancer....Well basically thats the only people I lie to.
"Well if you wish to see Ralen, we must travel to Anvil... However, I would teleport us to Anvil but, that spell is only limited to one person and whatever they may have with them, which would be only myself...But we will take whatever form of travel that suits you." I said.

((Buuuut, isn't Ralen, like, here in Leyawiin? And about to blow up a Fort while telling a story about a magic cup and a fort full of traps?))

How could I be so foolish to forget that Ralen was with me! I had just remembered that her and I had travailed to the city together, but apparently her and I had different business in Leyawiin. No matter, I will just take Shikura to Ralen, and my business here in Leyawiin will be complete... I'll need to kill Lorinza McCoven at a later date. First I need to leave this city before my brother figures out that I lied to him.
"Ah, my mistake miss, your sister Ralen is here in the city. I believe however she is here on 'business'. But, I'm sure she'll be happy to see you anyway." I said to her.
All I need to do now is locate Ralen, within Leyawiin, have her meet with Shikura and, then I can be on my way, out of this forsaken city... However, I do hope Ralen isn't visiting with Speaker M'aiq that would be very inconvenient at this moment.

Unfortunately for Thanatos, although Ralen wasn't with M'aiq, she was in the Leyawiin Sanctuary. Hey, Thanatos told her not to follow him, and the Leyawiin Sanctuary was home to the most remarkable beings, including a great (if pale) Imperial that listened to her stories and nodded and applauded at just the right moments!
Ralen was a very contented Bosmer indeed. Or at least she appeared to be, which was all that matters. Too bad it won't remain that way for long. ~~~ The Khajiit's ears pricked up. She looked confused. "And, ah, how will this dark brother of Shikura's sister locate Ralen?" She asked carefully, deciding to ignore the inflection Thanatos placed on the word 'business'. It was best she didn't pry.
After all, it wasn't anything serious. Yes, definitely nothing serious.
Oh, who was she lying to?

How does one anyone locate Ralen? I asked myself...Well normally I would follow the dead bodies if I were locating a normal member of the Dark Brotherhood but, this time this isn't the case. She was somewhere else in the city. I would need to locate her or her locate me, if I were to leave this city, besides its time for me to relocate my home, to somewhere else, where I can practice my 'Dark Magic" in private... I guess I could look in the sanctuary for her but, Shikura would need to follow me in case I did find her. However the problem is if Ralen is at the sanctuary Shikura would want to go in to see her Bosmer sister, which I just can't allow, it would mean her early demise if she went in. Also if I went in to get her she would wonder why she can't go in and, then she would ask too many questions, which I can't allow either...
However, I have an idea that might fix all of this but, requires me to leave this establishment.
"I believe I know where she is but, I could be wrong. So if don't mind following me to that location in the city." I told her before turning around and walking out the door towards the Leyawiin sanctuary.
upon leaving the tavern I did a quick prayer to Sithis hoping that Ralen wasn't in the sanctuary otherwise someone in the end would be breaking one of his tenents.
Also, in the hope that Shikura followed me. I stopped in the road in between to Fighter's Guild and the Leyawiin sanctuary and, acted as I was loss in the city as I was actually trying to reach Ralen through thought.
However, if I did reach Ralen this is what I would of said to her. "Ralen...Ralen, this is Thanatos. I'm in front of the Leyawiin Sanctuary with your sister Shikura following trying to locate you. Could you please come out here and, meet her so I may leave this be damned city!"
