Vox can understand Velvette just fine. They don't necessarily need to get along all the time, but they have a mutually beneficial contract that guarantees her support in the most efficient way possible, just how they both like it, short and strict and to the point. Vox does not understand Valentino. It drives him unimaginably, disgustingly insane. He knows how to handle him, make no mistake. Valentino is a never-ending powerhouse that wrangles out content from his employees like there's no tomorrow. He's proven himself to be Vox's most lucrative investment yet. He is resourceful, well-connected and most importantly predictable enough to rein in. Because he listens to you, because he needs you.

He is also, undeniably, out of his goddamn mind. Yet you've already invested too much in the corporate empire you've built together and there is no point turning back now that you have him so close to your side. It's OK however! He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to throw away the best partnership deal he's ever had just for the sake of something petty cause -oh, wait - he genuinely might just be that stupid and you never would've guessed because he's so cocksure of his bullshit that 80% of the time it ends up working in his favor anyway.

Fuck his life indeed. The kicker for this of course is that Valentino, genuinely does believe he has struck gold with Vox. Valentino is a clingy, possessive, immature, perverted, sadistic, egotistical man-child with severe rage issues and poor impulse control. No he is not aware of this at all. No he does not know why nobody is able to tolerate him and why every single person he gets close to hates his guts with every inch of their burning rotting souls. All he knows is that hell has now given him a flat faced prince in shining liquid crystal armour, riding on a cash filled horse with promises of power and luxury, who's practically handing him success on a silver platter. Doesn't mean that Val trusts him, doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy seeing him lose his shit. But at the end of the day vox has his back, and as long as Val keeps calling for him, he'll eventually turn up and make everything better. Cause hey if Vox hasn't left him yet for this long he must be doing something right. Right?

Watching Severance does feel a bit like reading a fic with 15000 word chapters that are almost entirely world-building and setup and there are only 2/47 chapters published and those came out 3 years apart

Loredas, 13th of Sun's Dusk, 4E 201

Back in Whiterun tonight. Today was mostly quiet, but there were places I wanted to explore and I didn't dare hurt the sapling.

I noticed this morning that it got dinged up a little fighting ghosts in that prison. It was fine, but I feel a bit guilty about it.

Anyway, the weather was beautiful this morning! After we struck camp I went over and ordered some logs from Gilfre, then got back on the road.

As we walked, Valdimar told me there'd been a scuffle in the night. The commotion had woken him up, but Lydia said she "handled it". I saw what she meant as we walked by the severed head of a bandit in the road. His body was not far past that, halfway into some brush.

The walk back was mostly quiet, but as I said, I saw a few caves and such that I wanted to explore, but didn't. We didn't even have any animals attacking us, because for some reason the road was sort of crowded! There were always people around, either other adventurers or travelers on their way somewhere, and every time bandits or something came out to attack, the others would get to them before we could.

Valtheim Towers was no exception. We came up to it in the middle of a fight! Almost the entire group of adventurers had been killed, except for a mage who was trying to Ward off a volley of arrows.

Of course, we couldn't let the lone mage face off against all those bandits, so we ran to help him.

Septim was up the stairs of the tower like lightning, and I had to put away my axe so I could run fast enough to catch up to him! He was mauling an archer on the narrow bridge when their leader came up swinging a greatsword. I wasn't able to Shout him off the edge like I wanted to, but at least I stopped him from slicing Septim in half!

He lifted his sword again, but before he could do anything to me, an arrow got him in the shoulder and he staggered. Not a breath later a handful of Ice Spikes flew from behind me on both sides to fill up his chest. He fell before he could even start swinging his sword.

I turned, and saw Erandur and Valdimar standing side by side on the platform at the end of the bridge. Erandur had his staff for Ice Spike armed in his right hand, and Valdimar's left hand was up, ready to cast the spell again. I saw Lydia on the steps coming up the side of the tower, with her bow at the ready.

It was then an arrow hit me in the back. There was an archer hiding in the rocks on the other side! The others let loose, and Septim bolted once again. I ran after him and got my Flame Atronach ready. As soon as I was close enough, I summoned it on the rocks and let it chase the archer down, along with Septim.

That was all of them. The other adventurers had taken care of the rest before we got there. The leftover mage had run off at some point while we fought.

There was a nice haul, though! A full set of Nordic carved armor on their leader, lots of potions, food, and of course their "toll" takings.

As we left the towers, I counted nine adventurers gathered around the bodies in the road.

It really was busy on the road today. Best we could come up with was the nice weather tempting people out.

We got to Whiterun with no trouble after that, and stopped at Adrienne's right away to sell the haul. I'm so glad her shop's right there!

I do wish she had more things, though.

We went to give the sapling to Danica and found her in the marketplace buying food for the Temple. She wasn't thrilled about the sapling. It's not very… Inspiring, given that it's so small. But I told her what Maurice said about renewal and such, and she said that sometimes Kynareth can be heard to hear over the people in the temple. She took the little tree, and hurried back to the Temple. We still had some goods to sell, so I went into Belethor's to get rid of everything that Adrienne wasn't interested in.

Belethor was much less of a creep now that Lydia was looming behind me in her Ebony armor like some sort of harbinger of death.

I mean, she sort of is a harbinger of death. Unless you're one of us, seeing her with her sword out is usually bad news for you.

I took a moment to recharge our enchantments, and realized that we're almost entirely out of soul gems. Empty AND filled ones! As much as I can't stand Farengar, we went to Dragonsreach so I could buy a few more.

Jarl Bulgruf was talking with his children, and gave me a slight wave as I walked in. I gave him a little bow back, and gestured towards Farengar's… Study? Workroom? Anyway, it was enough to let him know that I was just dropping in.

Irileth went up to Lydia and I heard her make some approving comments about her new armor. While Lydia told her about how we'd helped Danica I went to buy soul gems. Lydia later told me that Bulgruf was especially pleased that his city would have a new Gildergreen soon.

Irileth ignored Erandur and Valdimar, which is just as well, as far as I'm concerned.

Our purse is… Not happy. We're not much closer to our goal after spending all that, but those enchantments have saved our lives more than once, so it's worth it!

You know, I usually find soul gems in crypts, but we haven't been to any of those lately.

The cellar will be free to wash up in, soon. I'm going to get my things together for that.

-/-/-/-/-/-

All right, done doing Lydia's hair, so I can finish this up while she does mine.

We came back here and took some time to sort through our things, but we've mostly been resting, having a nice dinner, washing up, that sort of thing.

We did talk a bit about what to do next. I'm not sure what to do, but we still need a pile of gold to buy Proudspire.

We also need to return the ring to Frida, so I guess we'll do that tomorrow, then head to the Manor.

I'm eager to get back there. This place is nice, but I feel like we can't be "together" in here. There's no big table to sit around and talk at, and it's really dark in here, too.

-/-/-/-/-/-

All right - Hair is done, so I'm off to bed.

Tomorrow we'll be back home, and hopefully make some sort of plan.
