When she brought up the shout- he about had a heart attack. He closed his mind to things now, his face unreadable- his eyes clouded and unreadable. He kept him mouth shut- he didn't want to talk about it- he only used it to save both of their lives. His breath was fast yet deep and controlled. He looked at the elf, a smirk on his lips," I know it well. Don't lecture me. I'll be out side Neve if you need me." He said touching her shoulder lightly before he left- not wanting her to read his Aura again- that irritated him. He went out saying good bye to Ingod-regaining his dagger from her and went outside then crossed the small way to the Inn. He got a room from the man there and crashed. He was sure Neve knew where to find him- he was tired and annoyed and kinda just wanted to curl up in a ball and be upset by himself. He was unsure about how he felt about having Neve see the angel...Most who ever saw it were dead now, no one living had see it before. he knew she promised to listen but he needed her alone to explain a few things...It would help her make sense of things- only things around him only seemed to get more clouded and confusing as time went on.

Neve let Atrious leave though the air grew tense the moment he left. Neve was very confused as to what was going on so she decided it best to ask.
"What's that old language ma'am?" She asked and the Jarl looked to Neve.
"Dov..." Neve still looked confused and the old woman gave a sigh. "It is the language of dragons..." Neve's eyes widdened a bit.
"Dragon language? They speak?" Her question made the Jarl laugh lightly. Neve felt embarrassed by having said something that was possibly stupid but she had no idea what she was talking about here.
"Yes, but not in the way you and I speak. They use their voices for battle, each word a weapon..." Neve was shocked and infact she thought the old woman was crazy for a moment. However...it made sense in a way...after alll, she used a similar shout to freeze people...But the
"Well that puts a new spin on words have power..." She whispered and the Jarl nodded.
"Yes, the words are very powerful, but very rarely spoken. Only special people can use them, those blessed by Akotosh." Nevewasn;t sure if this was all true or just ramblings. But there was no way she and Atrious were blessed by some god with dragon speech right?
So not only did Atrious have an Atronach he called mother but he also spoke dragon...This was already turning to a muddled mess.
The Jarl saw Neve confusion and her focuss wanning, so she grabbed a simple looking sword from the cabinet and a a large sack of gold.
"Take these as my thanks, do qith them what you will. The inn is free to you both tonight. But I must ask you leave in the morning." She said and Neve nodded, accepting the items before going to find Atrious.
When he wasn't outside, she assumed he was in the inn. She went in and sure enough the man told her he had bought a room. She told the man the Jarl's decree and instantly got refunded. Seems they respected their Jarl.
She went up the stairs to find her room and she stopped at only one of the doors that was shut. It must be Atrious.
She wanted to go and talk to him but the idea of him sleeping made her stop. She leaned against the door lightly, saying a small, "Good night, Atrious." Before she went to her bed. It was a quirk of hers to speak to people before she slept. It made her feel at ease to know they remembered her that way...

He slept like a rock- no dream it was all quiet- he likes it- it was a break from reality. When he woke up it was still quite early- the sun only kit having risen- he had gotten a few hours to sleep but they were well worth it. Getting up he dressed and went down the stairs to get some food. He was starving and felt that a hot bowl of anything really would make him feel better.

Neve woke from yet another bad dream, a repeat of the previous one from before. She sat up and found that she had slept pretty long, actually longer than she usually did. She got up, stretching as the morning air drifted in through her window. It was a nice nip ti the room that she ignored rather. She went from her room down to the stairs to see what was up that day. Since it was later in the morning, Markus and his men were there talking while she made her way to where she found quiet.
Markus notice dher and went to tak to her. He was having a big ego over finding the children even though her and Atrious were the ones that save them. She kept that little fact to herself and looked ahead to where Atrious sat.
"Hey Atrious," She tossed him a bag of con and the sword she had gotten from the Jarl. "That's your share and the sword...well we need to ficure out what to that is for though. It's a sword by it feel weird..." She admitted, hoping he would understnad.

He was doing some spelling, having got a few more ingredients that morning he had been out scouring the near by forage to make more poisons to help Neve with her weapons- to make them more effective. The military men they were traveling with had plagued the main room all morning boasting about being the saviors and such- he didn't care for it. He took up muttering to himself to cover up the small drown of their lame conversations. However when he heard Neve's voice he turned in time to catch a pouch of coins and a sword, that gave him a slight shock. "Alright- thanks. Thought this won't be of any use to me Neve." He said motioning tot he sword- knowing he will never be good at wielding it. He looked between the board and her and picked up a few vials and handed them to her. "Here- put this on your weapons to make a kill or to paralyses the enemy- its potent poison I made from the local death Bell plant." He smirked as he tucked the coin pouch away- thinking about who to spend it on since there was a small potions shop- he wanted to go in and look around- he was curious what this woman could make.

Neve's eyes widdened a bit when Atrious handed her poisons. She had never used them before though they had been used on her once or twice. She looked at the first bottle and then at the arrows on her back. If she poisoned them, perhaps she could defend them a bit better. She sat up a little straighter and gave a harsh look to Markus when he snickered.
"I'll give it a try on the next bit of trouble we get in." She said, before she looked Atrious over.
She leaned in close to his ear and whispered a light, "Thank you for helping me last night. I wanted to say that but you ran off so quickly..." She pulled away her eyes going to one of the men that was boasting the loudest.
A few of the villagers came in a few minutes later with bright smiles and cheerful dispositions when they saw Atrious and Neve. Even the man that they had stopped from fighting the guard when they first arrived. He had a young boy with him, obviously his son by just the look of the boy.
"Thank you, both of you. If ever you need an ally, be sure to keep me in mind." He said before a woman spoke up.
"Any time your in Morthal, please stop by. Your heros now." She said and a few of them clapped at that, making Neve grin.
"Just doing the right thing. Now about the free meals...." She said and instantly she was greeted with quite a healthy portion of food. She gave a cheerful clap and dug into some of the bread.

He was a bit surprised when she leaned close to thank him but he accepted it with a smile. He was going to say some thing else however people started coming in so naturally he was more quiet. When they thanked him and Neve he was very surprised however he smiled and just shrugged it off. How ever when Neve began about food- and her hollow legs where she stashed all the food she ate he shook his head lightly with a smile on his lips. " I was thinking perhaps I could get a look in the shop- the one with there herbs and potions and such... I think its fair to put some money to make up for her eating habits back into the town." he said with a smile as a woman lead him out of the inn to her shop. He almost bought everything she had- including her death bells that he could simply go pick himself- He handed the whole bag of gold over- he didn't need it it was just more to get robbed for. After he put things away properly he went to find Neve.

Neve ate a healthy amount in her opinion but in others surprise she ate like a man twice Markus's size. Her manners however were in place. she didn't scarf her food down like an animal or even eat without posture and care. But she did perhaps eat more than was normal for her size.
Markus took notice of it and looked rightly shocked by it. The other men simply made bets off of it. When she felt satisfied she helped clear the table with the rather shocked looking inn owner then bounded off to find something to do before they left.
As she walked along the marshy ground, she found herself thinking of last night and the mystery that surrounded Atrious. He was a mystery sure, but her willingness to decipher him stemmed from her own life surrounded by mystery that she couldn't hope to solve. If she could understand the last person close to her then perhaps as a silly after thought she might learn to decipher her own life.
That and...she really did want to understand Atrious. He was an odd bird, completely different from her, but he was kind and understanding of her. She never felt he judged her, even with his light joke about her eating habits.
She walked along one of the brides, attempting to balance on the thin piece of wood there, mostly just for fun.

He saw her outside trying to balance on a railing he smiled,"Neve! About time I find you!" He said rather suddenly hopping she tripped. He came up to her with a smile," You almost ready to go? We got to make it to the college soon- before the winters up there close the path with snow." He was being honest with a smile thought he was being devious about it.

Neve jumped when Atrious came up behind her, stumbling a bit which caused her to slip. In a rather impressive show of balance however, she twisted in the air and landed on her feet, something she learned from the Khajiit.
She shot him a look that said 'not funny' before looking at his fake innocence directly. It was rather cute but in the same way it made it so damn sly.
"Well then, lets get everything together. Did you find what you needed?" She asked, noticing he no longer had the gold with him.

He smirked at her look," Indeed I did- I even made some potions...So we kinda don't have nay more spare gold per say....I told you I'm helpless with gold." He smirked innocently with a shrug. "Alright- I'm ready to go- horse is even packed... just needed to find you my pretty little elf." He said making a clear as day joke since she was more then just a pretty face.

Neve put a hand on her hip and rolled her eyes at the innocent look. It was his money to do with what he wanted after all since he was the one that majorly saved her ass and that of the Jarl's daughter with those summons of his.
The shinning silve one was amazing, but the darker monstrous one scared the ever living out of her.
Speaking of which...."Atrious...don't take this the wrong way, but that summon, the dark one, scared the hell out of me. I don't know what it was but...can you please use it only in an emergency please?" She said shivering a bit as she remembered its unearthly growl of a voice.
She looked ahead then and saw that everyone was ready to go on the soldiers end as well. It made her bit her lip briefly in thought before heading over to the stables.
When they mounted and were on their way, she caught out of the crowd the old dark elf Jarl looking from her door step at Neve she raised a brow and her and Neve wondered why a smile spread across her lips.
Before she could dismount and ask, Markus called everyone to move forward and she was stuck traveling with the others.
After a bit she looked to Atrious, bored and wanting conversation. "Did you travel much while with the college? You seem to know alot about the seasonal problems of Winterhold."

At her change in demeanor he knew which summon she was talking about- the one she had gotten for him. "Yeah- I can do that- Damn thing is a Dremora Lord...Scariest think I can think of...You got me the scroll though." He smirked as they got ready when Markus called then on to get going he waved to the Jarl and her daughter as they left threw the side of town, heading towards their destination. " I did some traveling in the close region. I didn't stray far though...Hence why when I go looking for some thing on my own I get caught up in a whirl wind of trouble." He looked at her when he spoke easily. With her promise in his mind he didn't really care what he said in front of her now- he felt like he could trust her better.

Neve smiled lightly, a bit of relief crossing her face when he said he wouldn't summon that beast again unless necessary. Even if she ave him the scroll it didn't seem the thing was easy to control or loyal to him like the others.
At his comment about travel she nodded. It was good he knew the region since she had never been this far north. "Then good. We'll need it when we seperate from the guard at Dawnstar." She said before arching a brow at him, a teasing smirk on her lips. "And I'm sure you just are trouble prone Atrious." She said, but then again she was a trouble magnet too.

He grinned at her comment about trouble," Then we are quite the pare of traveling companions... Both of us invite trouble into our company to share our fire." He Kept his horse paced with hers until he saw some more rare northern herbs that only grew out in the snow- it preferred colder temperatures but ti was a good ingredient he wanted. He nudged Neve," Hey, mind watching my bad while I get some Herbs? You can't buy them any where I've ever found..." He pointed out some green plants that almost looked like Mint only it had a weird yellow tint to it, and oddly enough a sound... There was a small patch of it and he wanted it. "Its Nurren root...its expensive as a new pair of horses." He gave her a pathetic look in begging hoping she would let him get some at least.
