Sabhira's Daughter #11
#12 of Tails of the Khajiit
The Usefulness of Being Invisible.
| | | Udaran smiled, "Actually that's not my plan. Kitty, are you REALLY as stealthy as you claim?"
"Absolutely," Kitty confirmed, "Even more so with the Cloak of course." | | | Udaran nodded, "Ok, listen, if I know Ri'saad, he's going to send someone out to notify Hasskir soon."
"But, the cloak is only good for about an hour or so. And then I go blind for the same period. There's no way I can follow someone that far!" protested Kitty. | | | Udaran continued, "You don't have to. We only need to know where Hasskir is. Sneak back and eavesdrop on them. Ri'saad will probably send someone off right away. We'll wait here and when you come back we'll watch over you till the blindness is gone." | | | "Oh! I see! I'd best go quickly then," Kitty said, pulling out her cloak and outfit.
"Kitty, don't forget. You may be invisible, but you can still be heard, and smelled! Don't get too close." Udaran cautioned.
"Got it. I'll be back soon." said a voice from thin air after she had donned the hood.
Udaran shivered, "That's just weird!" | | | A short time later Kitty saw Ri'saad talking with a female Khajiit.
"What I need you to do, Atahbah, is to find Hasskir. But don't tell him anything. Just see if his daughter is with him. If so, try and bring her back here. If not, try to find out where she is." Ri'saad instructed.
"So, Hasskir is not to know about the gold?" asked the other Khajiit, apparently named Atahbah. | | | Ri'saad answered, "He is not. You can give him this small amount. He may even sell her to you for it. You'll have to work out what's best. But it's imperative you bring back his daughter or find her location. We must negotiate this if we are to profit." | | | Atahbah nodded her understanding, "I'll leave right away. Where is he?"
Ri'saad said, "Do so. But Atahbah, be very careful. He is living with a group of bandits. It would be best if you could contact him away from them. They are dangerous, and you are precious to me. Stay safe above all."
"Have no fear. I've dealt with bandits before. They know we carry nothing of value away from the caravan."
"They have moved from their previous hideout to the abandoned town of Helgen," Ri'saad explained.
Beyond this, Kitty didn't hear as she started to creep back to her friends, having discovered what she needed to know. | | | "Did you hear something?" Atahbah asked, ears suddenly twitching.
The elder Khajiit shook his head.
"Nevermind. Anyway, I'm on my way," Atahbah turned to go.
"Warm sands," Ri'saad said to Atahbah's retreating form. | |
