Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods! Look! Look what is happening! Vilkas and I are going on a date. And by date, I mean we are going to go murder some Silver Hand. That’s a good first date, right? I mean, he could have chosen anyone to go with him, but he chose me. There has to be reasons for that. I’m sure it’s my adorableness.
But, to be honest, we aren’t going on the best of circumstances. You see, when I returned to Whiterun with my bag of disgusting, bleeding, rotting, witch heads, the Companions were standing over dead Silver Hand members outside of Jorvaskr. When I went inside, things were a lot worse. Not only were all the pieces of everyone’s favorite, most un-useful, and old battle axe missing, but Kodlak had been killed. Our very own harbinger is no more. Everyone is extremely distraught. As am I.
But because of Kodlak’s death, I get to go on a date with Vilkas! I almost believe that Kodlak may have sacrificed himself for my happiness, but that sounds kinda narcissistic, so I won’t be repeating that to anyone.
When I entered Jorvaskr, Vilkas was there to greet me. And by greet me, I mean yell at me and blame me for not being there to protect Kodlak. I told him that I was doing an errand for Kodlak, because it didn’t seem that anybody else wanted to go collect witch heads. He loosened up on me after that.
And seriously, did they expect that if I was there that Kodlak would have lived? Do they put that much stock in my skill over theirs? Is it just because I’m Dragonborn? If everyone didn’t depend on me to do everything, and went out, and took care of some issues themselves, maybe they would have been in good enough shape to fight the Silver Hand off. Just saying. All I ever see anyone do is eat and mess around with the practice dummies. Not very productive, if you ask me.
Oh well, I’m off on my murderous date. I have to stop and sell some stuff first, though. I hope Vilkas doesn’t mind stopping at some merchants….he better buy me something.
