| "Well now I've heard it all, you not only named your axe, you've given it a gender too?" Udaran said, frustrated. Ubergard did not respond.
"Sorry Ubergard," Udaran apologized, "Well anyway, do you know how to get to Markarth from here? I know that route from Whiterun. Do we need to backtrack all the way?"
Ubergard showed no sign of being offended and replied, "I would advise not. Instead, we should be able to reach Falkreath tonight. From there we can head north, skirting Lake Klinalth and pick up the road to Markarth there. But we need to leave right away."
"Then lead the way. Kitty, take my hand. It's time to get out of here."
"Thanks Udie," said Kitty, grasping her hand again. | 
|
| "Oh good! I can see again! Now I can get rid of this damned cloak!" Kitty said later on the way to Falkreath.
The three continued on, not speaking, each lost in their own thoughts. Kitty broke the silence.
"I guess we'll never hear the rest of her story now," sniffed Kitty, holding back tears.
"No, I guess not." agreed Udaran
"I hope she's ok," Kitty said to no one in particular. | 
|
| "Umm... Kitty. About what you did back there. I thought you said..." Udaran started hesitantly.
"I didn't want to kill anyone. But he was shooting Red! I couldn't stand by and do nothing," Kitty replied quietly.
"No, you couldn't," Udaran agreed. | 
|
| "Kitty, do you want to talk about it?" Udaran asked a little later.
Kitty looked at Udaran directly, "Talk about what? I just gave him a bit of a shove. It wasn't hard."
"No, not about that time. About the other times," Udaran prompted.
"What other times?" | 
|
| "You've killed before," Udaran stated flatly.
"Oh... Figured that out did you?" | 
|
| "Yes Kitty. Killing someone changes you. You've done it before. I think more than once. I didn't notice it in you before, but I see it now."
"I don't feel like talking about it, but yes. I have." | 
|
| "Skyrim is a dangerous place Kitty. The ability to kill is a necessa..."
"... for gold," Kitty continued as they entered Falkreath, as if daring Udaran to find some redeeming excuse. |
