Chapter 32 by Kww Kww

Who's there?

Tolggor

Your eyes dart to the entrance, Nacius lurches forward, but then you see a smile appear on his face.

"Why in Oblivion are you here!" He yells.

You see Tolggor runs into the room, wide smile on his face and holding a box.

"You look like you got eaten up by a wormmouth you son of a bitch!" Tolggor says with a laugh.

"Why'd they let you leave the fortress?" Nacius asks.

"I used the excuse that I was going to go pick up some onions and other supplies for that plucky Breton." Tolggor responds.

Nacius sits up and stretches his arms out.

"Why'd you come here? You hear about what happened?" Nacius asks.

"The whole fort is talking about it, once your replacement patrol came through the fort, word spread like a wildfire! That was the most action the Weald has seen for a good month, ever since that cave raid."

You sit up and yawn, being abruptly woken up from dozing off has just made you more tired, but you wanted to visit with Tolggor. Nacius notices that you're awake and points to you.

"Ah, there's Sanna, she got pretty roughed up back there too." Nacius says.

Tolggor turns around and looks at you, still grinning.

"You're one tough cat eh lass? How are you holding up?" He asks.

"Sanna will recover, though the healers said that her leg may never fully heal." You tell him.

"Ah, what a shame, but it'll make a good story to tell around a campfire!" Tolggor says.

You laugh and nod in agreement, Tolggor looks back to Nacius and opens his box.

"I got you two some things here." He says, digging through the box.

Tolggor begins setting things down on Nacius' bed, a bottle of wine, a chain, some pears, and a new dagger.

"This is all yours Nacius." He says motioning towards everything on his bed.

Nacius looked over everything with a big smile on his face, he first grabbed the bottle of wine and looked it over.

"By the gods you crazy bastard, how much did this cost you?" He asks.

Tolggor chuckles. "Enough to pay what I owe you from the smuggler bet." He replies.

Nacius excitedly looks over to you and points to the bottle.

"You know what wine this is Sanna?" He asks.

You shake your head. "Sanna is not familiar with the drinks of Cyrodiil." You respond.

He holds it up and reads the label."Surilie Brothers Wine, bot not just that, that's common. You gotta look at the date." He looks lower down on the bottle, reading the date.

"This stuff is vintage 399." He says with a smile.

"Old old bottle!"

You didn't really take Nacius for a wine drinker, but now that you think of it, he was talking about Skingrad and it's wine during the trip.

"You like wine Nacius?" You ask.

"I'd drink it like water if I could, I love the taste, better than the swill this guy drinks." He points to Tolggor.

"Hey, you Colovians are just weak, can't handle a bit of fire in your gut!" Tolggor yells.

"You Nords could drink sewage and talk about how great it is!" Nacius says.

"Sanna has never been one to drink, the most she has drank was a small sip of beer from a friend when she was still young." You say, slightly embarrassed.

"Hoho! How many bottles of my stuff you think she can handle before she hits the ground?" Tolggor jokingly asks Nacius.

"Bottles? She'd take one sip and be out for a week!" He responds.

The two of them laugh and Nacius looks over to you.

"I'm gonna take you wine tasting after all of this Sanna, you'll come to love it as much as I do, just you wait and see."

You smile and let out a small laugh at this proposal, you thought it would be nice to try something new with Nacius there with you.

"Hah! You and her dating now eh Nacius?" Tolggor says, nudging Nacius with his elbow.

Nacius turns red before responding.

"After almost dying together, I think the least I can do is treat a lady to a few drinks."

The three of you laugh again and Nacius goes to examine the other items, he puts the chain on around his neck and looked at the pears.

"These your sisters?" Nacius asks Tolggor.

Tolggor nods.

"Indeed they are, freshly picked too."

Nacius smiles and looks back over to you.

"Can you catch Sanna?" He asks.

"Wha-" Before you can respond, Nacius tosses a pair across the room, landing at the foot of your bed.

"Bah, landed on the bed, give it a try Sanna, Tolggor has a sister that grows pears and by the gods, they're the best pairs on Tamriel." He says.

You pick up the pear and take a bite, its soft, not too sweet, it almost dissolves in your mouth, it was really good!

"Good Sanna?" Nacius asks.

You swallow that bit of pear and smile.

"Sanna has never eaten many pears, but this might make her eat them a lot more often." You say.

"Send your sister Sanna's reguards." You tell Tolggor, taking another bite.

"Thanks lass."

Nacius picks up the new dagger that Tolggor got for him, looking at the design and attempting to bend the blade slightly.

"Good dagger, so you know we lost my old one?" He asks Tolggor.

"Heard it all, just picked that one up from the smithy earlier, new steel, sharp, a suitable replacement." Tolggor replies.

Nacius gathers all of the items and places them on his bedside table.

"Thank you Tolggor, I owe you."

"No need, I payed you back for that bet with the wine, the other stuff are just gifts." Tolggor says.

Tolggor turns around and walks over to you with his box.

"Now for the lady." He says...

What did Tolggor get you?
