Yeol Clumsy #45 - Settling down

Skyrim, Fredas the 28th of Sun's Dusk, 4E201

Exhausted of my adventures through Sovngarde and back, I took the cart from Ivarstead back home. At Whiterun all seemed as normal, as nothing had changed. Also Lydia at Breezehome was still hanging around, taking care of the house. A brief hello I got, and she went on with her daily business.

Although I adore Breezehome and Whiterun, the house is small and rather obscure. Coming home was not the same as before. Lydia had taken her space, and she could not get along with Sofia (and vice-versa). The house is too small for the both of them. That worried me.

Coming home again at midnight

I remembered an offer of Falkreath's Jarl, many seasons ago. He offered me a piece of land, in return for a service. So, the next morning Sofia and I walked to Falkreath, to visit Jarl Siddgeir. It was an easy day, with just one ambush to deal with.

It's only now I notice that Whiterun's Gildergreen is flowering again!

Jarl Siddgeir remembered his offer, and asked if I would take care of a dragon nearby, and some robbers who are terrorizing the Hold for a long time now. I agreed, and the next day I went into the mountains south of Falkreath to deal with both of them. I first went to check out the dragon. It seemed an elder dragon, still rebelling although his master, Alduin, had been defeated. I had no choice but defend myself, and to kill the rebel.

At Knifepoint Ridge I took care of the terrorizing robbers. They were no match for Sofia and I. We went back to Falkreath with done business. The Jarl gave me in return the deed of a plot of land nearby.

All is quiet again at Knifepoint Ridge

I went to see my newly acquired property. It was perfect. Not too cold, quiet near a lake in the forest but not too far from Riverwood. I had one strange neighbour though: seemingly a necromancer or witch. I'll have to look into that problem later.

My new property.

The same day we started to build the first part of the house. Small, but big enough to have all necessities inside. Sofia and I worked for a few days, and soon we had our first home standing.

A few days later we had our home standing.

I saw Sofia very enthousiast. She was really enjoying the construction of the house, and I saw in her eyes that she was proud and pleased with the result. I think that our wild kitten has found her nest.

Sofia seemed to like our new home
