#5 of Krris

Confession before the fact

Muz-Ra wisely chooses to tell Ubergard all she can about her plans for Krris. And for her part, Ubergard gets some unexpected information about her boyfriend. Shocking but at the same time quite interesting. In the end, Ubergard consents. She'd rather have a slightly used 'Krris' than no Krris at all.

For her part, Muz-Ra admits she has her own motives but in this case they coincide with the good of both Krris and Uber in the end. That confession was pretty well necessary. Ubergard has known Muz-Ra for far longer than anyone else in the castle and her real motivations. Okay, Muz-Ra is no saint, but sometimes you don't have to be to do good.


| "That's private, Ubergard," Muz-Ra replied to the giant Argonian. "It's between me and Krris. I'm sorry, but it has to be. He likes you, Ubergard. And he wants to do this for you. But it needs to be private."

"I don't understand. What needs to be private?"

"You're going to have to trust me on this. He's going to be sleeping in my room."

"Your room? Hell he can move in with me! He surely knows I'd love it. I don't know how I can be any more obvious without sitting on his lap naked!" | image |

| "I think that would be his dearest wish, Uber. But you've got to let me do this. I know men in a way you don't. I know what makes them tick. And he needs his clock fixed."

"Will you... do anything with him?"

"Ubergard, I will do everything with him. Everything that is needed. That's why I'm telling you this. He needs my help. As much as he likes you, his problem needs me." | image |

| The giant Argonian nodded. "Well, it's not like he's a virgin."

Muz-Ra decided to let that comment pass. Ubergard could discover that on her own, she thought. "Then again", she contemplated, "who knows how long that state will last?"

Ubergard looked seriously at Muz-Ra, saying "As long as you promise you won't steal him away from me in the end." | image |

| "I do promise, Ubergard. Think of it as a kind of treatment. When it's done, I expect you'll have to fight him away with a stick."

"That," Ubergard said with a smile, "I would not do. But I'd love to have the need!"

Ubergard sat back down, thinking for a minute, then looked at Muz-Ra. "You know, Cheetah has a lot of experience with men too." | image |

| "I'd thought about that. But there are problems with her. First, she does have experience - but in her case the men she's known came to her, even chose her. They already wanted her. Second, she's a Khajiit - too much like Udaran. And the third is Udaran herself. Cheetah's in love with Udaran and that might cause problems," Muz-Ra said.

Then she took a deep breath, and looked away from Ubergard, as if afraid to look her in the eyes.

"You know me, Uber. You've known me a long time, and I'm not going to lie to you now. I'm not a good person. No... Don't interrupt. I am selfish, egotistical, loud and oversexed. I'm going to get one hell of a kick out of this. But he also does need my help, Uber. I can help him. I will help him. It's like this is what I was born for."

"You're wrong Red. You are all of those things, but that doesn't make you bad. It makes you... you. Just please don't fall in love with him. It's awfully easy to do."

"I know. But I've got a man already, and you'll have to trust me on this too - I love the Jarl, deeply. Really I do." | image |

| "Does Krris know what you have in mind?"

"No. Not exactly. But he wants to do this for you, Uber."

Ubergard smiled and stood. "Well that makes me feel a lot better, Red. I really thought he just wasn't interested in me."

"Oh, he's interested all right."

"That's wonderful to know. Thank you Red, for confiding in me first. You don't need my approval, but you have it anyway." | image |

| Ubergard said as she stood to go, "Now I should be getting back to my work. Does he know that I know?"

"Yes. I told him I would tell you. Among the three of us, I want no misunderstandings. As far as everyone else is concerned, if anyone asks, I'm asking him to keep guard over me while the Jarl's gone."

"That's wise."

Muz-Ra just smiled back confidently. But to herself she thought, "I hope you're right, Uber." | image |

| As she was walking away, Muz-Ra called to Ubergard. "Oh, and one more thing Uber... Do you know how old he is?"

"Krris? I actually never asked. Why? How old is he?"

Muz-Ra smiled evilly. "Well, if all goes well, you're going to have one frisky young Khajiit on your hands for years to come!" | image |

| "Wait! Red! How old is he? I can't judge Khajiit age very well!"

"He just turned nineteen."

"NINETEEN? Oh my god, he's a kitten! Red, I had no idea! I'm robbing the cradle!"

"Give him some credit, Uber. You didn't know because he doesn't act like a kitten." | image |

| A smile crept over Ubergard's face, mimicking that on Muz-Ra's. "Well, that's true. Nineteen eh? That's... interesting."

"HOURS Uber."

"What?"

"He could go for HOURS."

While Khajiits don't blush, the same can't be said for Argonians. A flushed look came over the giantess' features. Yet her response was simple with a smile. "Promise?"

Muz-Ra laughed as her friend walked away. | image |
