    Summary

    When Argis is made housecarl to the new thane of Markarth, what he expects is a boring life, trailing after a spoiled, disdainful nobleman. What he wants is a brave warrior, a friend he can fight alongside.

    What he gets, though... is one surprise after another.

    Summary

    It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”

    Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”

    “Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”

    (There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)

    Summary

    [The invite inside was completely inconspicuous, almost bland. A cream-colored piece of paper with black lettering in a fancy font and little frills in the margins, as if it was an afterthought to this whole affair. The date of the event was printed largely at the top and somebody - most likely his mother - had used a red pen to underline it as well as the text at the bottom.

    Reigen Arataka and guest, it said.

    Clearly, they had intended for him to bring somebody with him to this affair. And there was only one person he could possibly ask.]

    -----

    When it comes to getting his parents off his back in regards to having a girlfriend, Reigen employs the oldest trick in the book. Meanwhile, Serizawa just wonders when his life turned into a romcom.

    Summary

    Dunmer as a people were disciplined, proud, and believed certain.. activities, per se, should be forcibly avoided until married.

    Now, that's all fine and good, of course, because Revyn is a proud dunmer and has spent years abiding by the principles expected of him. He supposes it only makes sense that after years of having never gone so far as to hold hands with anyone, let alone getting on behind a locked door that, when the opportunity presented itself, it would be a minor challenge. Nothing he couldn't handle, clearly.
