Rune-Tail sat in his tower working on his latest glyph. Until now, Rune-Tail had created glyphs that changed one attire, but never has he attempted something like this. He applies the glyph to a socket on his bracers. Suddenly a sharp pain flows through his body, and suddenly it stops. He runs to the mirror to see the result. Bright green scales. Correct color, wrong texture and shape. At least there's progress.
A knock is heard at the door, a quick glance at the scry crystal reveals it as the messager under his employ.
Giving a quiet sigh, Rune-Tail moves to the door. For the past two days he has been playing word games with his women through messaging, and getting nowhere fast. During that time, he recruited two more to his cause: Jo'Vani and Kyranta. Slow progress, but hopefully not for long. He opens the door to the Bosmer.
"Greetings sir, I have another..." the Bosmer's words trail off as he eyes look Rune-Tail up and down.
With a quick glance back at the mirror, Rune-Tail quickly learns the problem: he forgot to remove them Glyph. With a hiss he looks back at the Bosmer whose face now carried an ammused grin. "Just hand me the message and be on your way." he says with a embarrassing sigh.
"Of course, sir. I can see your simply trying to match your scales with your mistresses dress. Thats all." he says, before giving a bow and going on his way.
Returning to his desk, he removes his glyph and tosses into a basket labeled "Progress". As he unrolls the parchment his scales return to their original Black.
"This one believes that is a fair price. This one shall meet you in Skywatch as per your request at the time. Be certain to wear your favourite attire."
A grin crosses the Argonian's mouth. He looks towards his pet Scuttler. "Looks like I must prepare for a date, Gnarlus."
The next day Rune-Tail anxiously awaits his date at on the beach. Ever vigilante, he watches all around him. Many faces he recognizes are here. Do'maadrul speaks illly of Qa'han's misunderstandings (unaware of his death) and Sylvaswift casually speaks to others. The only friendly face he sees is Hunts-With-Magic, who (as a fellow Shadowscale) Rune-Tail gives a nod of respect to. It is returned though it was unclear if Hunts-With-Magic knew his former identity.
After some time, he spies Jo'kyrr sitting on the beach. Carefully, Rune-Tail walks up beside her, and sits beside here. "It appears our paths have finally met milady." he says in a smooth voice.
Jo'kyrr turns around to face the Argonian. "So it seems, scale back. Come, sit with me for a while." She motions beside her. "Tell me of yourself."
Rune-Tail gives a nod and sits closely beside her. "I must thank you for hearing my request. For so long I have been enslaved but finally I escaped." he rests his hand on Jo'kyrr's hand. "That is why I wished for your service. I wish to feel the best of something." Rune-Tail sighs. How true his story is. "Please tell me of yourself. Your favorite song for example?"
Jo'kyrr gave a smile. "This one likes many kinds of music."
Rune-Tail frowned. "Surely you must have a favorite. How about Red Diamond." a silent tilt of Jo'kyrr's head told she never heard of it. Rune-Tail gave a silent sigh. "Surely you have heard of Red Diamond." he turns towards Do'maadrul, playing his lute. "Please bard, could you please play Red Diamond." he says, tossing 10 coins to him. With a nod, Do'maadrul gathers the coins and starts playing. Rune-Tail begins singing.
Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
The heart and soul of Men.
Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
Protect us till the end.
The laughing hearts sprayed blood afar, A gout on Cyrod fell,
And like a dart shot to its mark, Down in an Ayleid Well.
Magicka fused the Lorkhan Blood To crystal red and strong
Then Wild Elves cut and polished it down To Chim-el Adabal.
Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
The heart and soul of Men.
Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
Protect us till the end.
When Elves lost Nirn to Men, Akatosh gave the stone
To Saint Alesh in token of Her right to sit the throne.
Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
The heart and soul of Men.
Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
Protect us till the end.
When he finishes, Rune-Tail stands and offers a hand to Jo'kyrr. "Please come with me. I wish to show you my favorite place."
Jo'kyrr accepts his clawed hand and stands. "Khajiit never knew Argonians were so multi-talented." she said with a purr.
Neither did I. Rune-Tail thought to himself. And with that, Rune-Tail and Jo'kyrr goes hand and in claw towards the docks. Enough with the foreplay, time to get to main event.
