AN: I'm sorry but the millisecond I heard Caska refer to Aeliah as "little cub" I said "That's her baby. Aeliah is her baby now." And so I made this.

Slight spoilers for the Elsweyr DLC.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a relatively quiet afternoon at the Dragonguard Sanctum. There were no immediate dragon threats to deal with at the moment. This gave the crew of the Perfect Pounce a well deserved rest. Gods knew they needed it.

Za'ji, unsurprisingly, was spending his day off in the tavern area. He was loudly sharing tales of the crew's exploits and adventures (with varying degrees of exaggeration and inebriation). The raucous laughter could be heard from the docks, much to the irritance of Dirge Truptor.

Caska, on the other hand, was spending her day off in one of the lounge areas overlooking the cove, resting her body. As much as she didn't want to admit it yet, all those years in the fighting ring were starting to catch up to her. Despite being a Khajiit in her late thirties she definitely felt like a learned elder some days. Her joints would certainly beg to differ on rainy nights.

She let out a soft but heavy sigh as she rested her chin on a worn ottoman, tufted ears twitching as the disctinct sound of a grog bottle shattering rang throughout the abode. The Senche-raht simply shook her head- that was a problem for tomorrow's Caska. Not today. This was her day off, she reminded herself.

It was at that moment Caska confirmed her suspicions that she had heard the same footstep pattern about three times now in the last hour. A very familiar set of footsteps. And quite worried.

"If you keep pacing like that, Aeliah, you'll wear a hole in the boards."

The young lady in question nearly jumped out of her skin, staring wide-eyed at the massive Khajiit. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, but no words came out.

Caska raised an eyebrow, "How long have you been wandering like that, little cub?"

Aeliah looked confused a moment and started counting on her fingers. Then she shook her head, backtracked, and counted again. Caska was no stranger to this scene- Za'ji would do something similar when he didn't have a good excuse or lie to get himself out of a situation. We're going to be here a while, she thought to herself.

"What has got you bothered, Aeliah?" Caska questioned with genuine concern.

Aeliah was quiet a moment, then shrugged. "I'm not sure, truth be told. I guess a lot of things..." Her voice was heavy with exhaustion.

Caska raised her eyebrow again, ear tufts and tail twitching with curiosity.

"I guess..." Aeliah sighed. "I guess I'm just too tired to think straight right now..."

"Then you need to rest."

"I've tried, I can't. I feel like I have to be doing something to help, that-"

"Even though you are doing so much already?"

Aeliah sighed again. "I know, I know, my dad tells me the same thing all the time..."

Caska thought for a moment. "Perhaps it would help if you had someone keeping watch? Why don't you sit down for a bit?"

Aeliah stood there, still as a statue. After a few seconds, she quietly took off her extra gear and set it in the corner by the entrance to the balcony. As she made her way over, Caska could see the color in her face was not totally there; she looked more pale than usual. Seems there wasn't any exaggerating when she said she hadn't been sleeping well.

But then the young lady caught the Khajiit completely off guard: rather than pull up a chair or a cushion, Aeliah sat right next to Caska. Leaning directly against her. Using her furry friend as a giant pillow.

Caska's head jerked to look at Aeliah and she froze. That was not at all what she expected when she offered to keep watch. But, it seemed to be helping, as the exhausted young woman was physically relaxing against the big cat's shoulder. The tightness in her back was slowly releasing as she evened her breathing.

There was some surprised blinking on Caska's end. Physical affection was by no means her strong suit, so she felt rather awkward.

"Y'know, Caska..." Aeliah drawled, slightly slurring from sleepiness. "...you've, kind of become, like a mom to me... Ever since my mom died, it's like you've been a better mother than she was..." she yawned at the end.

The Senche-raht gave her a confused look. Her, Caska? A mother figure? To a human?

But something twinged in her heart. It felt like how someone would describe a "maternal instinct". But it felt so strange to her.

The last time Caska had feelings even remotely like this was nearly a decade ago, when she was still a gladiator in the pit fighting. She wasn't quite the champion rank yet, but very close. A spry young Imperial who looked just shy of his twenty-first winter approached her as she was training, and asked- no, insisted- he become her apprentice.

She had almost laughed at the suggestion, until she saw the look on his face. He was completely serious about his request. The Senche-raht was hesitant, no one had asked to be mentored by her before. Not to mention she simply preferred to be alone. But she looked into his eyes and saw a determined spirit.

Unfortunately it didn't take long before Caska discovered his weakness: he was overconfident to the point of cockiness. No opponent was too big or too tough. When the championship matches came around, that cockiness proved to be his downfall.

He didn't make it past the second round.

Caska shook her head to clear the painful memory, and instead tried to focus on Aeliah's current sleep-deprived rambling. She awkwardly interrupted, "Bright Moons, Aeliah, you really must be exhausted if you're saying that stuff!"

"Noooo, it's the truth!" Aeliah protested. "You've done so much f'r me... you've taught me so much, 'n you 'n Za'ji helped me when I was in trouble, back at the temple..."

"I remember, yes. But enough of that, you really should get some rest now, little cub. This one will-"

She was interrupted by soft snoring; the sweet embrace of sleep had finally gotten a hold on Aeliah. Mid sentence, no less. A very faint smile creased Caska's face. As carefully as she could, she adjusted her body so it was more wrapped around the sleeping young woman.

Caska rested her chin back on the ottoman from earlier, getting herself comfortable. She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the waves hitting the coastline, as well as Aeliah's breathing.

For her newly appointed daughter, the big cat could tolerate being used as an oversized pillow.

Ok so one of the things in ESO that completely decanonized On the racial phylogeny for me is an NPC from Dragonhold DLC, Aeliah Renmus. She is half redguard, half imperial, with dad being imperial and mom being redguard, and while you could argue that she looks standard for a redguard, she really doesn't. She has some features that *scream* "imperial", at least they do to me. So maybe that book is somewhat correct as *most* of mother's racial features express themselves over the father's and that's why it came to the conclusion that it did. Or maybe it's just wrong completely. We all know why there haven't been another book on hybrids since (it's because todd howard is deathly afraid of sex)

(I was trying to find a close up shot of her face but google let me down).

oh cool! that's interesting (and it matches my own personal headcanon (which I should probably make a post about some time lol) so that's nice)

After I reblogged that one post I also realized that ESO also has Lyris too

[harlequinalis]

I know High Isle just dropped (haven’t played it yet) but I have eternal Dragonhold brainrot so have another drawing of one of my fave dlcs (redraw? sort of? of the old one? different vestige tho lol) whoo

[madam-whim]

You cannot convince me that Sai Sahan and Lyris Titanborn aren’t still in contact. I am 100% certain that they write letters to one another. And something just occured to me. 

Lyris would definitely write to him about what is happening in Skyrim. And Sai absolutely knows Redguard history, and as such must be familiar with Leki’s Blade and its origin story.  Lyris, blissfully unaware, just casually writes something along the lines of: “... and now we have this huge vampire problem, they’re led by this Redguard by the name of Rada al-Saran...” Sai, who had up until now been enjoying some well-deserved peace and quiet, chokes on his drink.

Za’ji and Aeliah have no idea what’s happening anymore, but they pat him on the back anyway.
