The Khajiit’s ears flicked back.
“I never s-” He stopped. Last night, he was drunk wasn’t he? Oh Hist, no, no, no… J’hasi forced a grin that seemed more like baring fangs than a smile.
“Well, if you insist…” He put his elbow down on the railing, curling his fingers to better show off his razor-sharp claws.
J’hasi smirked.
“<How convenient! Already taken care of! S’cuse me, I have some work to do.>”

EVADE CHECK: NAT 20 MOTHERFUCKER
PISS CHECK: 11Icarus jumped at the sound of ice scattering across the floor. He turned his head to see those ungodly green eyes leering at the other side of the hall.
“Sleck!!” The Altmer yelped and scrambled as those macabre bellows grew from one end of the hall to the other in a matter of seconds. Every hair on the mers body stood on its root when a booming crash felt like it shook the entire hall behind him.
His eyes zeroed in on the stairwell not too far in front of him.
Just go up. Just run. Get out.
The mer stumbled his way up the stairs, scuttering through the icy hallway. He didn’t bother with the side doors– this thing could clearly track him down no problem so hiding was out of the question. He slammed into the door leading out of the hallway, the area behind it looking vaguely familiar through the barred rail of the door.
The door budged, but was clearly barricaded by something crunchy– probably snow– godsdamned this blasted snow. <”No, nonono, don’t you do this to me now!”> Icarus panicked, slamming his whole body into the door. A chill ran down his spine when he heard those wretched beastly sounds in the not-too-distance. Thoughts and judgement clouded by fear, the mer used whatever magick he had left to melt the snow instead of saving it to scare off the beast in another up-close attack.
He could hear its feet. The mer desperately slammed himself into the door until he got just enough leeway to squeeze through the door into a small room with a set of stairs and a ladder and–
Oh thank the divines: The exit.
The sound of cold howling wind had never sounded so divine. The mer wheezed out relieved laughter, but he wasn’t out of the woods yet. He made a beeline up the stairway, hands trembling as he grasped the ladder, desperately making his way up to freedom.
The beast tried to slow down, to turn and keep up with the fleeing prey, but it had been going too fast, the floors too slick, its claws only scrabbling against ice when it slammed full-force into the wall, knocking it silly. The wolf shook its head, dazed from the sudden impact, trying to find what it had been chasing down… Its eyes wandered, a little confused…until they snapped onto its fleeing quarry, this time trying to push open a door.
The wolf let out a snarling bark before darting after it, paws nearly tripping over one another as the hallway felt like it was swaying underneath it, hoping to catch its prey before it could open the door, pinning it against the planks and biting deep into its neck. Just when it thought it was going to gleefully tear into a fresh kill, the first good meal in months – it slipped free, darting for the hall beyond.
The wolf roared with rage, powering forward and slamming into the door full force, worsening the dizziness, but getting results. The door exploded outward with a sharp crack-crunch of ice, six-inch claws tearing into the layers of packed and drifting snow as the beast pursued its prey to what it could smell was the exit, fresh air lay just beyond…
The monstrous creature snarled as it sprang at the mer, teeth fastening around its ankle, bracing itself as it landed to pull its prey back into the seclusion of the hallways below. Saliva dripped off the heel of its boot as the beast growled, jerking its head sharply, hoping to loosen the quarry’s grip, ravenous for the taste of bloody flesh freshly torn from bone.

HOW MUCH OF A SINNER IS YOUR MUSE ?
Send 💬 and my muse will say what they really think about yours.
“I mean…a little odd, but she seems to mean well. Got some secrets to hide, but who doesn’t? I wouldn’t be jumping at the chance to tell Skyrim’s magic-hating populace I’ve got some magical undead dog running around getting into my food.” J’hasi sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
“There’s always the chance that she’s actually a Thalmor spy…but I haven’t smelled anything off about her.” Or anything other than the dozens upon dozens of herbs and roots and Hist knew what else crammed into that tiny space. His nose twitched and he rubbed it in response, remembering how numb it would be when he left after each visit.
“Usually spies act a little more…impenetrable. No weaknesses. She was practically begging me not to speak about her…housemate, which if she were a spy, that…that would be too much attention, wouldn’t it? Unless it’s to throw someone off about the fact that they’re a spy…” The Khajiit’s brow furrowed, thinking for a few moments before he shook his head, ridding himself of the conundrum for now.
“I-it doesn’t matter. Unless she shows her hand, far as I’m concerned she’s helping me get some sleep.” He frowned a little, teeth pressing against his lower lip.
“…she might just be a witch. A witch wouldn’t give a damn about what the Thalmor want.”
[Realizing each of your muses has a ‘type’.
And then there’s J’hasi who just…who the fuck knows…]
