The Housecarl of the Dragonborn

Lydia smiled in relief, thanking Talos for her Thane's quick acceptance. "I will guide you to my home now, my Thane and then tomorrow I can led you to the Sky Forge as it's easy to get lost in our massive city." Whiterun was one of the biggest cities in Skyrim, easily a few miles in sweat if one were to walk all of it's streets.

Leading Golmund to her home, Lydia unlocked the door before leading him in. It was a cold house, both in atmosphere and temperature. Unlike most Nordic homes there wasn't a fire lit in the fireplace or warm looking animal skins decorating the walls. Instead, the walls and floors were bare and the only items other than the bed were a bookcase filled to the brim in books and a table with deadly looking weapons waiting for their turn.

"We are here, my Thane. Please treat this as your own home," Lydia said respectfully.

He nodded politely as she agreed to lead him to her home. The walk was not too great of one, compared to his journey of the past few days, and nothing at all compared to what he was in for. Still, she did live some distance yet from the palace.

Upon arriving at the home, he got the feeling she did not spend much time here. The Hearth was unlit, and he saw no semblance of a lived in home. He got the feeling the space was used more for storage.

"Thank you. I fear my mind is too unsettled to sleep just now. Which, I get the feeling I actually have to tell you, doesn't mean you are not allowed to. Your home is still your home. I just need to... put some thoughts together. Clear my head." He sat in a chair, next to her table. Turned one of the short swords over in his hand.

"It has been an... interesting... few days." He couldn't help but hope she would take his sublte hint and sleep. He still felt like a peasant. He couldn't kick a lady out of her own bed. She was no doubt higher born than he.

"Oh, no my Thane," Lydia said, at his herding for her to sleep. "I must be awake at all times if I am to provide proper protection." As he sat down, peering at his blade, Lydia nodded.

"The last few days have been rather interesting here too." There had been a spike of vampire attacks, not to mention that Silver Hand members that keep trying to get to the Companion's stronghold.
