Aela: So how did you catch that arrow?
Satsuki: Ah that.
Satsuki: When my dad trained us, he wanted to speed up our reflexes and reaction times, so we had to try to catch arrows consistently by listening to them and only using our peripheral vision.
Vilkas: That's some crazy training, thanks again for saving me.
Aela: Yes, if you didn't catch that arrow, we would have lost a great shield-brother.
Satsuki: You're welcome, also thank you Aela for killing that guy behind me. I heard him coming but you killed him even quicker than i could react.
Aela: Heh, well i am the best Archer in the companions.
Aela: Actually you seemed to be able to throw your sword and that axe abnormally well?
Vilkas: Where did you learn to do that?
Satsuki: Lots of target practice.
Satsuki: My dad also had us train with various weapons to see which weapon we were proficent at the most. I excelled at great-swords.
Satsuki: My second best skill though was throwing, i'm okay with Archery, but not as skilled as you or Emily.
Vilkas: You said you had a Nord mother, what was she skilled in?
Satsuki: Oh she also excelled at using Battleaxe's, she helped quite a bit with training my strength, she was actually stronger than my dad. So i aimed to be as strong as her.
Aela: I see, i was the same way towards my father.
Vilkas: Same, me and my brother always tried to be as strong as our old man.
*Doors opening*
Aela: Ahhh, finally home. Satsuki wanna come practice with us.
Satsuki: Actually i-
Vilkas: Hold on Aela. Remember we told Kodlak that we'd help him on another mission when we got back right?
Aela: Oh right, i forgot about that. Sorry Satsuki.
Satsuki: It's alright. I've actually got to go, need to find Emily.
Aela: Ah yes.
Aela: Training her right?
Vilkas: That should be fun.
Satsuki: Heh, it normally is, she's a pretty hard worker.
Satsuki: I'll only be here for 3 days training her, so i should go find he-
Aela: Wait before you go.
Aela: Would you like to come see Kodlak one of these days and try to join the companions?
Vilkas: Yes, normally after a trial we would test your strength, but after that display it won't be necessary.
Aela: What do you say?
Satsuki: Thank you for the offer but.
Satsuki: I'd prefer to just go around doing quests on my own for now.
Satsuki: I'm not ready to be part of a faction, even though I technically am part of one already, I've got no interest in joining another right now. For now i'll just go on my own.
Aela: I see.
Vilkas: well if you ever change your mind, just let us know.
Satsuki: I will, thank you very much for your company, it was fun talking and fighting along side you two.
Aela: We feel the same way.
Vilkas: Have a good day Satsuki.
Aela: Fight well, be sure to visit us before you leave.
Satsuki: See you two later!
Satsuki: Now then.
Satsuki: Lets see if Emily is around.

*Door opening*
Satsuki: Okay, so no one in the market has seen Emily for a few days.
Satsuki: Eorland and the Jarl's Steward don't know where she's been lately either but recommended Hilda.
Satsuki: Hopefully she knows something.
*Drinking sounds*
Satsuki: Excuse me, Hulda right?
Hulda: Hello there, what could i get you?
Satsuki: Nothing right now. I was wondering if you happened to know where Emily lived?
Hulda: Emily?
Hulda: To be honest, i'm not sure.
Satsuki: Strange.
Satsuki: Why does everyone not know?
Hulda: Well.
Hulda: While she's open about everything else, She's pretty private about where she lives.
Satsuki: Even still.
*background* Satsuki: You'd think that finding the home of a nudist would be easy.
???: Mmm.....Nudist.
*Suddenly stands up*
???: Wait nudist!?
*background* Hulda: Well.
Hulda: The places i've heard she's been seen the most when returning home are Greenspring Hallow and Swindlers Den West of here past Fort Greymoor.
Satsuki: I see.
Satsuki: Well that's the best information i've gotten so far so thank you very mu-
???: Excuse me.
???: I heard you talking about a Nudist, you wouldn't happen to be talking about a Redguard Archer would you?
Satsuki: .....yes?
Satsuki: Why?
???: Thank the gods, She's still alive! I've been looking for her everywhere!
Satsuki:....I see.
Satsuki: Who are you exactly?
???: Oh me?
???: I'm a friend of hers from Solstheim.
Satsuki: Solstheim.......She was on Solstheim?
???: Yes, long lost friend.
???: We fought together, me, her and....Targoth.
Satsuki: I see....could i get your name again.
???: Oh i'm sorry.
???: I'm Red-Blade, but you can call me Red.
