Lorelei continued hold the robe together with her left hand, and slapped Avenicci with the other.
"D-...don't let that happen again, ever!"

"Okay!" Avenicci whimpered as he threw himself across the room and into a corner.

After sitting there in the extremely awkward silence for a long time, she slipped underneath the blankets on her bed. While they provided some comfort, between the silence and the pain in her arm, Lorelei was about to go crazy.
"Avenicci, why did you come in here when you did?"

"I heard clattering, and I thought you could use some help." Avenicci answered truthfully. "You know, you look pretty good in that."

"I- in-...in what?" she stuttered as she started turning red again. "You aren't talking about what I was wearing when you came in, right? Right...?"

"No." Avenicci gave Lorelei an odd look. "I'm talking about your robe. It makes you look, lovely, to say the least."

There was silence for a few more minutes, as Lorelei thought about some things.
"Thank you for coming to check on me. And for watching my back when those cultists attacked."
Wait, now I sound too nice! I shouldn't be trying to make his already huge ego any bigger!
"So anyway, yeah, I'm thanking you because you finally did something useful... Good job."

"Implying that I haven't done anything useful before." Avenicci commented as he slowly got up and sat next to Lorelei. "You were being nice for a little bit. Is that weird?"

"Why does it even matter?" she asked.

"You were so insistent a few days ago that you were incapable of kindness." Avenicci reminded her as he sat up ring and barely touched Lorelei.

For a few seconds, she didn't try to pull away. Didn't try to move Avenicci's hand. Didn't try to hit him or insult him.
What's wrong with me? This isn't like me at all.
A few moments later, Lorelei did pull away from Avenicci, and turned away from him as well.
What's changing? How is it that I feel more than just bitterness or anger now?

"Hmm..." Avenicci looked at Lorelei with a gaze of patience as he slowly lied down on his back.

"You know, you never really told me much about yourself, Avenicci," Lorelei said as she kept her back turned to him.

"What do you want to know?" Avenicci asked her as he slowly turned on his side.

"I don't know. What do you want to share?" she said as she turned to face the ceiling, but not before taking a quick glance at Avenicci.

"Nothing in particular." Avenicci answered as he slowly crept towards Lorelei involuntarily. "I'm not a great storyteller, and my past isn't all too interesting."

"Then I guess there's no reason to keep talking about the past," Lorelei said.

"Now, tell me again," Varren orders slowly. "Where... Is... The girl?"
The Bandit Chief, now nothing more than his thrall, grovels at his feet. "We're holding her in a cell below, Master, a right special cell it is. By Shor's mighty beard, that girl's a devil! She nearly slaughtered us all before we captured her!"
"So... How did you capture this 'devil' in the first place?" Varren demands, more than a little annoyed.
"By luck," the thrall replies. "By luck alone, master. A Khajiit in my employ has a thing for... Cats. One of his cats had a litter recently, and one of the kittens got loose during the chaos. That stupid girl chose to save the kitten, and my men were easily able to-"
Having heard enough, Varren silences the late Bandit Chief of Faldar's Tooth. Permanently. He strides on by, his rage building, as a head rolls on the cold stone floor.

"Well, you said you wanted to know, didn't you?" Avenicci responded.

"No, I only said that you hadn't told me much about yourself," she said as she turned her back to him again.
