After hearing about the whole thing from her daughter, Selalla sat some while in thought. 'Hah. Well, Dengeir's of an an age with me.... Perhaps there's something to work with there.' She set things out in her mind.... this, then that, then something else. And some days later.... "Paranna, I'd like you and Termoru to drive the wagon into town tomorrow. I have.... a thing to discuss with the Jarl." "Oh aye then, mother! We can buy some things needful while you're talking to Dengeir. Shall we take Lucia?" "Certainly. She needs to begin learning how things are with us." I was pleased that Paranna had called me "mother" - I wasn't her mother, not even a relation at all. But her use of that honorific warmed my heart. Morrowdawn, we headed into the city. It wasn't a short trip. But it wasn't over-lengthy so we simply talked quietly as we went. A few hours later we entered Falkreath. Termoru went to talk to the steward about how things were going on getting the stable set up; Paranna took Lucia to the general store. I went into the Longhouse. Dengeir was just settling after his meal. "My Jarl. I have.... an issue.... to discuss with you. I do not want to - upset - the normal working of things hereabouts. But I do feel that I needs must protest the place possible criminals are held. That would be 'the hole'...." He gave me an arch look "Oh, so? What's toward then? I know it's a bad place - but for lawbreakers...." "It's not that. It's that people who've not been proven to break the law are thrown in there and left...." He turned thoughtful. "Hmmm. So.... you would prefer that lawbreakers be actually convicted before being put there?" "Aye, I would, my lord. It.... sits ill with me that anyone only suspected of misdoing should be - left in such a place...." He went - somewhere else entirely, for long enough that I began to worry. At that point Paranna, Termoru, and Lucia entered the Hall. Dengeir's gaze moved to mine, becoming "present" again. "I.... find that you are correct. I hadn't realized.... but I should have. My apologies. Your family is - of great benefit to this hold. So. I will rearrange things. We will... deal.... with possible lawbreakers - in a different manner. Are you answered?" He bent a benign look upon me. I smiled. "Aye. I am. I knew you for a good man the moment I met you. You've just validated what my goddess told me in my heart." He grinned, and it made him seem - a much younger man, and altogether - interesting. "Well, then. We are agreed again, upon something I should have known all along. Should other - things - arise, please do not hesitate to come to me. We should be able to deal with them." Well, perhaps.... but time alone would tell.... Edited by Serethil, Oct 12 2016, 11:53 PM.

She is fortunate indeed that Dengeir is such a fair and accommodating ruler. I fear approaching many powerful people with their inflated egos of self importance might more typically result in accusations of insolence and disrespect.....with consequences too terrible to contemplate. Still...she got away with it, so good on her :) If I read this right....there is a growing liking between these two.... ;) 'Support you local king' Dengeir for "Hey 'Dengeir, your so fine Your so fine you blow my mind Hey Dengeir....hey Dengeir" Edited by Rick, Oct 13 2016, 08:11 AM.
