Lucien: After world ending dragons, freeing the first Dragonborn, angry possessed automatons, a made up vampire prophecy and Leslie's completely of his rocker brother, it's nice to get back to some normalcy.*looks over his shoulder to Miraak standing very close to him* Or whatever normal is for us these days.

Inigo: Indeed my friend, I certainly am ready for a good break and many more sweet rolls ehehehe.

Taliesin:*sharing Leslie big coat with Cary* I would have preferred we go somewhere warmer.. Or atleast warmer than Winterhold.

Caryalind: As do I, but Leslie wants Teloriel to get some more training in for magic, but he's not recovered from the wounds that monster gave him and you are busy helping look after him and don't have the exact skill set to teach Tel his preferred magic schools.

-Later in The hall of element's-

*Tolfdir giving his lecture*

Leslie:*sitting on a bench with Cary Kai and Inigo, starts lightly sniffing the air then gives a slight growl*

Kaidan: What is it?

Leslie: Vampire, the scent is faint, but it's here in the hall.

Inigo: I can smell it as well..

Leslie:*watching the crowd and notices one of the students occasionally glancing over at Teloriel* There, the dunmer boy with white hair.

Caryalind: I see him, he looks so young...

Kaidan: Some get turned young but it's still another blood sucker and a danger to Tel. Monster probably can barely wait to sink its fangs into him.

Caryalind: What are we going to do?

-After lecture-

Leslie: We're leaving, back to Whiterun.

Lucien: Whatever for!?! We just got here and the trip to Saarthal is tomorrow!

Teloriel: Did something happen? I was really looking forward to staying for a while.

Caryalind: There is a vampire here.

Taliesin: Are you serious?!? We just got done dealing with whole nests of them a few months ago. By the gods we must be cursed.

Leslie: Kaidan will go with you to get your things from the dorms then we are leaving.

Teloriel: I want to stay.

Leslie:*taken aback* I- Teloriel this isn't up for debate, we ar-

Teloriel: I agree, this is not up for debate. You all may leave if that's what you want, but I am staying. I’ll come to visit in Whiterun for New Life. *turns to walk away*

Leslie: *grabs Teloriel’s arm* What has gotten into you? It’s not safe for you to be here, not a vampire and that creep advisor skulking about.

Taliesin: *gently removes Leslie’s hand from Teloriel’s arm* Perhaps we should discuss this in the morning, instead of causing a scene in the middle of the court yard. *gestures with his head to all the people watching and whispering about the group* 

Teloriel: There will be no further discussion. *starts heading to his dorm*

Leslie:*moves to follow him but is stopped* 

Miraak:*has his hand on Leslie’s shoulder* Leave him be for now Dragonborn, you will only cause harm for the moment.

Kaidan: Come now love, let’s go back to the house for now and rest.*takes his hand*

Leslie:* looks at the dorms but allows Kaidan to lead him away*

-Later that night-

Teloriel:*sitting in bed just had finished crying* Ugh.. I fucked up didn’t I?

???:*knocks on door* Hello? May I enter?

Teloriel: W-who are you?

Ildiir:*talking through door* My name is Ildiir, I am another apprentice in the same group as you, I was hoping we could talk?

Teloriel: Umh, sure. *gets up and opens the door* Come in..

Ildiir:*holds up small tea pot and cups* I brought tea, *enters room setting pot and cups down on a desk* It's mint and lavender.

Teloriel: Oh! Thank you, that’s very kind of you.

Ildiir: It is the least I can do after stirring up drama with your family.

Teloriel:*startled* You- You’re-

Ildiir: A dhampir, my fathers a vampire and my mother is a living mortal. I don’t need to drink blood nor am I interested in drinking yours, I need just the same things as you to live.

Teloriel: I-I see, why are you telling me this? You could have said nothing and I’d be none the wiser.

Ildiir: Well.. I figure with the variety of people in your group, Two Dragonborn, an Akavir, blue khajiit and you a dragon blooded uncorrupted falmer, you’d be someone I can trust to not out me. And before you ask, I can smell the Dragonblood in the three of you. I know of Miraak from history passed down from my ancestor The Vestige and have heard about your group's escapades on Solstheim from Geldis Sadri, who is a family friend. I Know some of the history of the people of Akvir and the Blades, and a blue khajiit lived in my ancestral home Ruhn back in the mid second era, although her name escapes me at the moment.

Teloriel: Oh… You are quite knowledgeable and observant, aren't you. 

Ildiir: Hehehe *hands Teloriel a cup of tea* Comes with the insatiable thirst for knowledge and the heightened senses.

Teloriel: How old are you? If you don’t mind my asking.

Ildiir:*smiles* I don’t mind at all, I am 20 years old.

Teloreil: Seriously?!?

Ildiir: What? Thought I was some old geezer disguised as a spring flower? The only one in the room with a changed appearance is you my friend. *gestures to Teloriel’s ring*

Teloriel: *laughs* Guess I don’t need this at the moment. *turns off enchantment, his skin becoming far paler and his hair fading from black to silvery white* It’s nice to just be me, you know.

Ildiir: Yeah.. So would you tell me a bit about your family, I’ll tell you about mine.

-The morning- 

*The sun barely risen*

Leslie: *on his way up to the collage with Taliesin* You didn’t need to come.

Taliesin: Well I beg to differ, someone needs to keep an eye on you since you seem to be incapable of proper conversation and discussion lately as well as constantly pushing yourself too hard physically. *holds onto Leslie’s arm as they get to the bridge*

Leslie:*huffs* I’m not weak..

Taliesin: I didn’t say you are, what I am saying Is you are acting more and more an ass each day since you’ve been able to get out of bed. You’re snappy, distant, obtuse. *walks close against Leslie as they cross the broken section of the bridge* In all honesty you have become very unpleasant company, you big hairy fool.

Leslie: You don’t need to stick around if you do not want to.

Taliesin:Tch, see this is what I’m talking about, if you think this behavior is doing any sort of good you are sorely mistaken. You’re lucky I don’t have a bundle of rolled up paper, I’d be swatting you on the nose a lot if I did.

Leslie:*sighs as they enter the dormitory*...

Taliesin: Don’t you sigh at me missy.*knocks on Teloriel’s door and enters* Teloriel dear are yo- Oh… 

Leslie: What is it? *pushes past Taliesin* Is that..

*Teloriel in bed on top of the sheets with Ildiir in his arms both of them asleep*

Leslie:*growls grabbing Ildiir by the shirt lifting him into the air*

Ildiir:*makes a startled sound* K-ku’ilm?!? Oh. Oh dear…

Teloriel:*startled awake when Ildiir was ripped out of bed* L-Leslie!?! *whisper yells* What are you doing, put him down now!

Taliesin:*also whisper yelling* Have you gone mad?!?

Leslie: They’re the vampire! *growls*

Ildiir: D-dhampir actually, I don’t drink blood and I didn’t hurt Teloriel.

Taliesin: Put him down before someone else wakes up and see’s.*puts his hand on Leslie’s arm*

Leslie:...*drops Ildiir letting him fall to the floor*

Teloriel: *goes to help Ildiir up* You are so lucky it’s the ass crack of dawn and no one else is up yet, I can’t believe how you've been acting, Rulindil never did anything like this! *gasps and cover his own mouth*

Leslie:*shocked and hurt*

Teloriel: Leslie I-

Leslie: Don’t! *turns and walks out of the room*

Teloriel:*follows after him* W-wait I didn’t mean it! Mum please-!

Leslie:* stops and turns to face turns to Teloriel* Don’t you dare mum me! *growls and leaves the dorms*

Teloriel:*stunned having never been yelled at by Leslie before*... *covers his face as he starts tearing up* I-I wasn't thinking..

Taliesin: *puts a hand on Teloriel’s shoulder* Teloriel my dear, why don’t you go into your room for now while I deal with Leslie, okay?

Teloriel:*silently nods and goes back to his room*

-At the new house in Winterhold-

Kaidan: He still won’t come out of the bedroom, I’m seriously considering breaking down the door at this point.

Lucien: Can’t believe Tel would compare him to Rulindil…

Caryalind: He didn’t mean to, one does not think straight after being woken up abruptly.

Inigo: I agree, but it was still a very hurtful thing considering everything that’s happened. That does not mean I am okay with how Leslie has been acting..

Kaidan: I don’t know what to do, should we stay? Leave to Whiterun with Leslie? Bring Teloriel here?..

Taliesin: I don’t know, I don’t want to take the chance of them fighting and burning the house down with dragon shouts. But I don’t want to leave Tel alone at the dorms either.

Inigo: Well he was not alone, that dhampir classmate was with him.

Taliesin:*sighs* That’s another thing that needs addressing, they may have both been fully clothed but they were still in bed together and as far as I know Teloriel is the only student who is a minor. Vampiric or not Teloriel needs to be careful about letting others into his room at night.. 

Miraak: I will go check on him. *puts on his mask*

Caryalind: I’ll go too.

Miraak: No. Stay here and deal with Laat Dovahkiin, I will speak with the boy alone.

Caryalind: I.. Alright, I’d rather go but I’ll trust you on this. 

Miraak:*gives a slight bow* Thank you, I will be back later. *leaves the house*

-Back in the dorm room-

Ildiir:*rubbing Teloriel’s back while the snow elf sobs into the pillows* Just let it all out, no one will hear with the silencing spell I put on the room, take as much time as you need okay.

Teloriel:*continues crying and nods in acknowledgement*  

Miraak:*walks in* Teloriel.. *removes mask and kneels next to the bed*

Teloriel: Do Atmorans not knock?

Miraak: Heheh, sometimes. *uses a thumb to wipe away some of Teloriel’s tears* I came to ask if you wanted to come with me to check on the dragons, I’m sure iizriiksu’um would like to see you. And your new friend may come too if you so wish.

Teloriel:*nods* Yeah, Just give me a minute and we can all go. Oh um, Miraak this is Ildiir, Ildiir This is Miraak.

Miraak: A pleasure to meet you.

Ildiir: likewise!
