Finding Work

*Y/n's POV*

Y/n wakes up in the middle of the night. She felt hot and the room felt stuffy. The clothes of Fervyn's she was wearing felt hot and itchy. It felt like her skin was crawling. She hurries out of bed and pulls the clothes off, wishing she had another set of clothes to wear. She puts back on the clothes she wore the day before underneath her armor set. Once she was back in her clothing, she lays back down. But the skin irritation didn't stop there.

Y/n eventually gives up and leaves the room, locking the door beind her. She leaves Jorrvaskr and heads towards the gates of Whiterun. She soon found herself at Warmaidens.

Outside, Adrianne Avenicci was working at her forge. She looks up from her work when she sees Y/n approach. "Oh good, a customer. Welcome to Warmaidens," said Adrianne.

"I'm not here to buy. I'm here looking for work," said Y/n.

"You must be, Y/n, correct?" Adrianne sets her tongs down. She was working a piece of metal to turn it into an iron sword.

"Yes ma'am. Would it be okay if I help you around here to earn some Septims?"

"I'd be greatful for the help, dear." Adrianne grabs Y/n a blacksmiths apron and hands it to her. "So what brings you to Whiterun?"

"I'm staying with the Companions until Fervyn gets back. After that we are heading to Riften."

"Fervyn has been a big help since his arrival to Whiterun. It didn't take him long to become for him to become Thane of Whiterun." Adrianne hands Y/n some leather. "First I want you to cut and shape this leather into a helmet. I'll show you how to do it and then you'll work from there."

It was late in the afternoon by the time Y/n had finished her work with Adrianne, who was impressed with Y/n's eagerness to learn the craft of a blacksmith. And just like playing Skyrim, Y/n had earned herself a few perks from the perk tree while working under Adrianne's tutelage. After working at Warmaidens, Y/n goes around Whiterun seeing if anyone else needed help with some work. Y/n helps at the Bannered Mare for a bit before leaving because of Mikael started getting too friendly with her. After that she heads back to Jorrvaskr to help out there.

Y/n heads down to the kitchen to help out with preparing meals for the ones who are currently in Jorrvaskr. The cooks were a bit surprised when Y/n offered to help but were nonetheless happy she offered.

Y/n knew that she would be treated as a stranger for quiet a while at Jorrvaskr and she wanted to prove she could he trusted despite the fact everyone in Jorrvaskr thought she was from Nirn. It was about an hour later before Y/n finished helping the cooks before heading back out again. She heads to Belathor's Goods to buy some clothes and supplies. With the leftover Septims, Y/n leaves Whiterun to go to Ri'saad's caravan. Today was the last day he'd be hy Whiterun before packing up. She runs up to the caravan. "Ri'saad!" Y/n calls out.

Khayla comes running over to Y/n and pulls her into a hug. "Khayla's friend is back for a visit!" Khayla sets Y/n down and looks over her. "That dress does not suit Y/n."

"It was the best I could find at Belathor's store. He gave me a weird looked when I asked for a pair of men's trousers," said Y/n.

"Khayla will get Y/n a pair of men's trousers. You should go see Ri'saad to say hi. Ri'saad misses Y/n too."

Y/n goes over to Ri'saad to say hi to him. "I've came to see you guys off before you leave Whiterun, Ri'saad."

"Ri'saad appreciates your visit and is wondering if Y/n would like to help Ri'saad pack up the caravan? Ri'saad will pay Y/n for your help."

"Are you sure, Ri'saad? You don't need to pay me for helping you."

"Ri'saad is sure. Y/n needs the Septims to get better gear like the Dragonborn has. But first come and eat with us. Ri'saad will teach you to make Elsweyr Chowder as good as he does." Ri'saad gets up from where he was sitting and drags Y/n over to the fire. "We missed Y/n's company even though she stayed a short while."

Y/n sits down at the fire and listens to Ri'saad explain how to make Elsweyr Chowder. At least these guys accepted me right away. Can't blame them. Khajiit always get labeled with a bad reputation, Y/n thinks to herself. After eating, Y/n helps Ri'saad and his caravan pack up. It didn't take long with the extra help.

"Before Y/n leaves, Khayla found a pair of men's trousers for Y/n," said Khayla as she hands Y/n some bundled up fabric. "Why men's trousers?"

"I never liked wearing dresses as a kid and even now. Besides if Fervyn says we are going to Riften when he returns, traveling on horseback won't be comfortable in a dress."

"Y/n does have a point. If Khayla finds something that Y/n will need while Khayla travels to the next town, Khayla will send a courier to Y/n." Khayla gives Y/n another hug. "Khayla will miss her friend."

"I'll miss you guys too. Once again thank you for your help in making sure I was safe til Fervyn came to retrieve me."

"Speaking of Fervyn," said Ri'saad as he walks up to Y/n. "Ri'saad has something to give to Fervyn. But Ri'saad knows he can trust Y/n with the delivery." Ri'saad hands Y/n a letter.

Y/n takes the letter and knew what it was without opening it. It was the letter explaining the situation of the Saints and Seducers questline. It was one of Y/n's favorites to do because of the armor that she could get. But now she was in Skyrim, things could be different. She bids Ri'saad and his caravan good-bye before heading back to Whiterun. On her way back to the gates, she sees off in the distance Tundra Homestead. "I wonder if I could by it? Would be nice to stay in a place that was a bit roomer. That way Fervyn could have his room back in Jorrvaskr."
