Description With the Morning sun rising over Vvardenfell and glistening around the edges of the large floating stone above the city, everyone was getting to work with their business. Just outside the city, many were tending to the crafting stations and others taking on work orders.

A Khajiit was once of them, wearing a rather, uncommon style of armor. The leather and scaly green of what is either Argonian or crocodile scale hasn't been seen in these parts before along with the many small blades made from fairly large teeth to be small blades no more than two inches. Along with a sword and dagger at each side. She was looking over the job board and when one reads of a bandit issue at a local farm, she reaches over to take the writ.

Another of those at the board is a black and green scales Argonian clad in a mix of Ebony armor and hardened leather. He wore a sword and dagger, ebony and Elven, as well in his sides in addition to a Elven bow on his back with ebony arrows in a quiver. Almost in tandem with the the Khajit, he reaches for the writ and grabs the opposite side when she takes hold of it as well, his head flicking to look at her with a surprised expression.

She stops and looks to the Argonian from under her green hood. Those yellow eyes surrounded in a yellow paint looking to him as She holds her side of the writ. After a small moment of silence, she clears her throat, having no intentions of letting go currently as She looks over the Argonian in his ebony and elven gear. The Argonian seemingly has no intention of letting go either, just shrugging a bit and looking her over in turn.

"Well...how about we both take it?" He offers after a bit more of an awkward silence. "Work together on it, if you don't mind?"

"Perhaps this one doesn't need help. A group of bandits is hardly any trouble." She said, "Why not you take that one? Alits nearby, close and easier, surely you can handle that."

"A Khajit turning away help? My, that is rare." He chuckles softly, then looks at that writ before going back to her. "Bandits are tricker than Alits, you know. And why don't you take it instead? Get some experience with this land's wildlife perhaps?"

"Hrmm..." She softly groans. "This one isn't as much as a Khajiit as you think and has more than enough experience hunting easy game. Of every job offered here these bandits seem to be the only challenging task." She explains. "This one can easily handle herself."

"This one talks much like a normal Khajit though." He points out with a musing expression. "Don't like to hunt alongside others? Regardless, I'm...more familiar with these parts, so working with me would be in your best interests regardless."

"This one talks the way She talks and prefers not to work alongside an Ojel." She said and just huffs as be kept going on. "Fine. But this one will cut the reward among who kills more bandits. Divide it among the work." She said as she didn't seem to proud to be working with someone.

"That's a dangerous ideal to hold to when you're working outside of your home territory." Xlikan says with a bemused expression, especially at hearing her huff. "That works for me, but try to not fall behind then. Wouldn't want you to lose a cut of the reward, miss...Oh, pardon my manners, I never asked your name. Mine is Xlikan, what is yours?"

"Jeeda-Ei, of Dead-Water." She said briefly and didn't take amusement to the comment of her falling behind. "This one can find her way there, Xlikan. We shall find out who gets a greater cut."

"Don't want to travel there together? Fine by me, I'll see you there then, Jeeda-Ei?" He asks before double-checking the listed location on the Writ, then looks back to her. "Unless you do actually want to travel there together."

"This one will be fine." She said and looked to the writ to see the location she still holds in one hand before reaching to her pack at her side and rolling out a small map to see the location of where this would be. While she does this, Xlikan had written down the exact details of the writ for a copy while she was looking at her map, then begins to head off while she was still searching for the location.

"See you there, Jeeda-Ei." He calls to her with a small wave as he approaches the gate leading out of Vivec City.

Forgot to upload this a while back, but here's a scene and bit of story based off an RP between me and Indrium , featuring his Khajit Jeeda-Ei and my Argonian Xlikan!
