He smirked at her expression but when the hood came off his head he looked a bit surprised then smiled," Have fun." He said before she got up- she took another Elf- who was good at healing magic and a Khajiit who was very good at illusion magic and potions for healing and the like. He sighed and finished his food- no one talking to him as was per usual. He didn't mind actually he preferred it that way. He went back to his quarters and was mixing most of the day he had in fact lost track of time and was just finished up when Neve came in- probably looking for him she was however talking a bit too sportingly with some one- he didn't like that idea at all.

Neve had gone to town with the men though she only really needed one. The supplies she collected weren't many and really all she wanted was some conversation. It seemed that people didn't pay her mind this time around, now that she wore college robes and was hanging out with college students. She walked into the inn and bought a few things before stopping to listen to a few rumors again. The mention of treasure came back up again but the Khajiit and elf she was with seemed more interested in the reports of random natural occurances around the area, even the appearance of dragons. She rolled her eyes, thinking them all drunk or insane. No one had seen dragons in decades. They were as good as dead to skyrim....things of legend.
'But so is Atrious's father...' She thought with a small frown before shaking it off and heading back with the men.
THey had begun questioning her about her attachment to Atrious on the way back and Neve gave them straight answers. Atrious was reliable and a friend to her. What more did she owe these strangers? They seemed rather happy to hear that, the Khajiit taking it a bit further than the elf. She however humored him, especially when they got onto the topic of why she gave off a certain air about her that was remiscent of her tribe. She was in the middle of a conversation when she got back toward Atrious's room, in which she had settled back into her more Khajiit habits, such as being very close to the man and talking with her hands as well as making direct eye contact.
When she noticed Atrious still busy at work, she went over to him and hugged him from behind, round the neck. "Hello Atrious, miss me?" She giggled and gave his ear a light nip, a customary greeting that the Khajiit wasn't as shocked about as the Elf.
She peeked over his shoulder and leaned over him, picking up a vail of the bluish liquid with a curious furrow of her brows. "What's this do?" She said, swirling the liquid briefly and holding it up to the light.

He was about to sit up properly to stretch his back when he felt some one behind him- when the person hugged him he felt that it was a female and when Neve's voice flowed into his ear he smiled, accepting the bite on his ear- it was weird but he took it in stride. Turning around he took the vial from her and looked at the Elf and the Khajiit. He nodded in greeting to them both- taking in their expressions. " Thats extract of NightShade." He put the vial back where she had picked it up from to keep her out of it since it was poisonous. "How was your trip to town?"He asked as he whipped all potion eminent off his hands.

Neve pursed her lips when she looked at the Nightshade. A thief back in Riften had used that plant to poison his arrows. It was rather...distasteful stuff since it was quite posionous. She wiped her hand on the robes just in case before moving to perch on the corner of his bed. "It was interesting, these fine gentlemen helped with the extra supplies. You can set them there boys." She said almost like a queen ordering her little possy. Just how she liked it. She watched the men set the stuff down before she shooed them.
"It was interesting. People were talking about nonsense though. something about natural disasters and dragons." She said, pushing a strand of white hair behind her ear with a shrug. "Crazy right? Everyone knows dragons died out and the last one's skull is up in Dragonreach." She said observing some more of the potions he had made. "Well you've been busy. Think you've got an arsenel there?" She asked raising a brow at all the concoctions she had so way of placing.

He listened to her talk of rumors and the like and he frowned at her calling them crazy," Dragons are very much real- I used to watch them here in the sky when I was young..." He turned to look at his long sets of required vials of things he needed. " Indeed...All morning. I'm pretty quick at making them so I have been at it a while. " He looked at the stuff she had gotten and nodded that she had indeed been to town from all over. "Well- I'm assuming Dragon's still exist some where in Skyrim- they are too mighty to just kill- since they had their own priests after all who took up their language."

Neve stiffened when he mentioned priests but quickly tried to hide it by looking to the hall, knowing there were still people listening. She hadn't meant to say something that would hit a tender spot but she just had never seen a dragon and assumed the overgrown lizards were dust by now.
"I guess..." She said though it din't sound too convincing. She instead decided to move on to a new topic. "So I was wondering Atrious...do you want to head south after this or back west? I was thinking these other marked places might be interesting to check out, but then again I would like to keep moving though. I haven't been this sedentary...like ever." She said, wondering if this partnership was going to last them another trip, mostly because she was unsure how she would do at keeping secrets from him...It felt wrong but she knew that she couldn't let him become a force for darkness. Not Atrious, anyone else but her only friend left.

He smiled at her shy remark and didn't think anything of it," West sounds good. Warmer at least some sights to see as well as things to find. I'm sure we can work out way there in the northern areas perhaps then head south and back around to the east. Sound like a long term plan?" He smirked at her," Then maybe I can find a dragon to show you... You will like them- they are beautiful creatures." When he said this the last part made his face turn into one of confusion- he didn't know how he knew what a dragon looked like but he felt like he had seen one before.

Neve knew the west was where she was told to avoid but as long as they don't run down any deep dark holes they were fine. Avoiding dungeons and ruins would be best, at least one that could be his fathers...the note tucked into her robe reminded her of the major secret she was keeping and made her hide her frown. "Sounds good to me. I can show you the old trade routes we used to take. They're all quite scenic." She said pleasantly before offering a half smile. "As long as the big lizard doesn't try to eat me ill be fine." She said messing with the hem of the robes. She was growing restless sitting still, since she was used to always having something going on. Now that she was with Atrious she had to slow down a bit. It was odd for her, but she almost didn't mind because it was for him.

" That sounds wonderful- where it is 'scenic' there are things to be harvested." He said with a smile completely over his earlier confusion on a memory past that made no sense to him. He had a feeling he had seen a dragon before but he wasn't sure where or how...He tucked the though away into the back of his mind as he gathered up things here and there then turned back to Neve," I'm curious...Neve-Where is your origin from?" He asked her quietly not wanting to upset her by others hearing but he was curious because she knew his odd origins- what was hers?

"You and your plants." She snorted with a bit of laughter before lying on her stomach on his bed. She felt like relaxing, to keep her stir craziness from acting up. Neve looked up at his question though she didn't look quite that fazed by it. She didn't understand why he asked her quietly, not till she thought about it. She hadn't exactly told him much about her, perhaps that constituted to a dark past?
"I would have to be from Skyrim, some place really cold I think. It seems to fit better than the warmer areas and the Khajiit said I look too pale to have Western Nord heritage." She shrugged looking down at the sheets in thought. "I don't know much, only that the Khajiit took me in a long while ago and named me after the snow....Ramma thought it was only fitting." She said, just remembering when he was still a young leader and she was the newest addition. She learned their cutsoms quickly, or at least Aiisha said. Aparently she hadn't know quite a bit, nothing about her past, and very little of common Norse language and things about current Skyrim. Alot of it was still really fuzzy to her, getting even hazier when she began to think about the nightmares that seemed all too familiar.
"Sorry if that isn't much of an answer. But that's as much as I can give. I'll let you know if I remember anything else, kay?" She said with a grin, playing off her usual nonchallance.

She smiled at her," Your name is more then fitting...Perhaps we can look into where you came from...while we are in the north perhaps?" He said wondering just where she could have been. He watched her a bit with a smile since she was sprawled out on his old bed- she looked strange there. He had never imagined her there so it was strange to see. "Are you almost ready to go? With all the snow its bright up here at Night... so we can travel...If you want to that is."

Neve looked up at him and smiled very lightly when he said that they would look into her past. She was happy to hear that he cared enough to give thought to something like her past, something she couldn't really muster all the care for it. After all, things forgotten were forgotten for a reason.
She sat up, messing her hair a bit before standing up and stretching.
"I want to see the snow at night...it sounds lovely.We can go now if you like...do you want to say something to the Arch Mage though before we go?" She asked walking over to the supplies she had picked up. She needed to get them to the horses after all.

His smile faded into a scowl," I have nothing to say to him. Ill grab out things and meet you threw town at the stables..." He said turning from her and put more things in a saddle bag he had by his bed. They were things that he was going to need. On e she left to get her own things, he left he room and went threw town his hood up and his head down avoiding all interaction as every one else was. They moved aside for him in fact. He got his horse and made it ready, getting more food and the like for the horses.

Neve sighed as she saw him leave knowing she couldn't convince Atrious otherwise. The Arch Mage deserved a proper goodbye from his student but she wouldn't make Atrious do anything. She gathered her arrows and things and made her way to the stables. She recieved a few good byes and a few looks as she went to catch up to Atrious.
She found him still gathering things and gave her horse a pat on the neck. "Let's get this show on the road then." She said, throwing her leg over the horse and pushed it to trot past him. She could see the moonlit mountains and the pretty white wnow dusting them. She smiled lightly at the view and looked back at him.
"come on slow poke." She giggled said, motioning for him to follow.

His mood was brightened a little when she called him a slow poke, knowing she was being playful. He got on his horse and caught up easily as hey headed west. It was going to be a crisp night with relatively natural temperatures so it was. Going to get below freezing again unt the wee hours- luckily. He urged his horse forward threw a pass only to frown when it didn't budge," Neve- we might have to take a different route... My horse is exuding to go threw the pass. Might be a bear or something there.." He said adding the end to try to justify his horses refusal
