| "Shabhira? Is that..." FarSeer asked.

"Yup, that's her. Sabhira's daughter," answered Kitty distractedly.

"She's quite unexpectedly resourceful for a prostitute!"

"She wasn't. She sort of functioned as their doctor of sorts though." | | | "Why is it that every time we meet, I end up getting hurt somehow?" FarSeer asked Kitty, changing the subject.

Kitty smiled, "Just your luck! You shouldn't have TRIED to meet me again. It's your fault!"

"Listen, Kitty. You probably know by now. I think I'm in love with you."

"Oh, I know. And I'm... We're too different. Not just the species thing, but your life. Living out here, the Werewolf thing." | | | "I've been thinking about that. I'd be willing to give it up, you know."

"That's what I'm afraid of. You WOULD give it up, and you shouldn't. But your life too, living out here in the woods. You'd give that up too. All that to please me. It's too much. I'd feel bad and you would miss it."

"Yeah. I guess you're right. You know I'd never be happy in a crowd."

"And I don't think I could live out here like you. We just don't fit together." | | | "So it's not just the Werewolf thing then?"

"Well, to be honest that's pretty fucking big! But no. It's not just that. Like I said, we just don't fit together."

"Friends then?"

"I'm sorry FarSeer, but no. We would never be just friends. I couldn't be."

"Me too. But it's hard."

Kitty hugged him fiercely, "It IS hard. Too hard. You shouldn't have come looking for me." | | | FarSeer look down into her eyes for a long time. For the last time with that intensity. Then he sighed, as if letting something go, and changed the subject.

"So what's the deal with Shabhira?"

"They call her a Herb Witch. She seems very smart."

"And she's going back with you to the Tails?"

Kitty nodded. "For a while I guess, but she's not going to stay. I think she wants to travel. Now that she's rich, I think she's going to do that." | | | "So at least your quest hasn't been in vain."

"No, not in vain. I don't regret anything you know," Kitty said, looking up at him again. But FarSeer was looking ahead and appeared not to notice her.

Finally, he said, "Neither do I, Kitty."

They kissed then, with all the awkwardness and incompatibility inherent in such a thing between an Argonian and a Khajiit. It was as clumsy and unnatural as would be expected, and it was a kiss Kitty would never forget. | | | Somehow, with that kiss, Kitty's turmoil was resolved. She knew she would return to her old life and banish thoughts of FarSeer, knowing that it was for the best for both of them. Yet she would always know that he was out there somewhere, and that would be enough. Enough to know that somewhere out there was a person who felt so strongly towards her that he would have given up everything. It wasn't the fairy tale ending to their short romance, but Kitty knew she could live with that. | | | "Shabhira!" called Udaran when she saw them approaching. "Thank god, we were getting worried about you two. Wait. Is that FarSeer with Kitty? Um... and is he NAKED?"

"Oh, yes. He found us while we were in the woods searching for a place. I mistook him for some danger though and lobbed a rather potent stink bomb at him. We had to get him cleaned up. It pretty much ruined his clothes so..."

"I see! A LOT! Well, Ubergard found an unoccupied cabin we can stay in for the night, so no problem there. There's probably something in it he can wear." | | | "Hello Udaran," FarSeer said in greeting.

"Well hello FarSeer. What brings you way up here?"

"Your little scout. I decided I needed to talk to her again so I've been waiting for you to return."

Udaran looked to Kitty who shrugged.

"Don't look at me! I told him it was stupid." | | | Later, as they came up to the cabin Ubergard had discovered...

"Oh my! FarSeer! Ever so GOOD to see you again!" Muz-Ra said with maybe a bit too much emphasis as Shabhira, Kitty and FarSeer came up the path.

"You too Red, but... my eyes are up here."

"Of course they are. But your penis is down there!" | |
