Sampson and Devilah #6
#7 of Sampson and Devilah
A Facefull of Sampson
In which Shabhira gets up close and personal with Sampson accidentally and leads the pair on a wild goose chase.
| "What about your husband?" asked the brave vigilante, shivering not from cold but embarrassment before the fire in nature's finest attire after his Ointment ordeal.
"Oh, he won't mind. He's been through that before. You're lucky though, he got the full dose! That trap you sprang just releases a focused spray. Your armor should even be fine after another hour's soak. Now you just sit there and let that ointment do it's job."
"Traps. I'm... not very good at traps."
"So I saw. You know, you're quite a specimen for a human, Mr. Sampson."
"Hey!" Sampson shouted and closed his legs. |
"So I also saw," smiled Shabhira. "You're a lucky girl!"
"Someday," said Devilah with a wistful glance at her man, "...someday".
"Oh, it's like that is it?"
Devilah nodded. |
"Ah, my nemesis. She is a demon, rejected even by the Dark Brotherhood. A purveyor of evil. Who knows how many lives she has snuffed out? I seek to rid the earth of her foul life!"
"I see... and where are you going to find her?"
"A haunt known as the Tails of the Khajiit, where she hides in plain sight. She now goes by the appellation 'Kitty'." |
"I seem to recall you were particularly affronted by that picture of her rear. You seemed to study it quite closely," Devilah noted.
"I've committed that heinous image to memory. When I find her, no disguise shall deceive me."
"Not if you see her from behind I guess." |
"Ah, yes. Perhaps I can help you! This... Kitty. She left the Tails some time ago as I understand. My poor husband had the misfortune of meeting her before he met me. I understand she now lives in a castle near Markarth. I'm sure if you go there, they'll know how to direct you to her. She only just arrived recently and the new owner of a castle isn't likely to go unnoticed!" |
Devilah looked to her fellow female Khajiit, "I... don't think she'd be interested."
"Then let us be off!" said the hero, striking his best heroic pose. The Black Cat awaits!" |
"Sampson... your armor?" Devilah pointed out.
"Oh!!! Sorry!!! Ma'am? Can I get my armor back?" |
And with that, the hero and his companion took leave of Shabhira. |
Dear Lover,
That warrior and his 'supposed' servant are looking for Kitty and aim to kill her! I've GOT to go warn her. I'm worried about him, but I think Ubergard can handle him. But that Devilah worries me, there's something not right about her. I've pointed them to Markarth but at best that will only buy her a couple of days. Please don't follow me, you know Kitty still has feelings for you and I don't want to bring all that up again.
I've made you dinner, it's in the icebox. Don't bring your buddies in the house. I have traps set if more than two feet tread the floorboards. I'll be back in a few days. And don't forget to drink your vegetable puree. It's good for you.
Love, Kisses and that other thing I do...
Shabhira |
