One day when I came home
from one of my adventures my son came up to me and told me that he
had made friends with a little skeever. He then asked me if he could
keep it as a pet. Of course I agreed – this little bastard is
really cute. I mean the skeever. And why the hell should my son not
own a pet? His sister keeps Bran, the husky from Fort Dawnguard, that
helped me a lot on the vampire quests. He's retired now and lives
with my daughter. Maybe he can defend her against all the bandits and
dragons that roam around my house. There once even was a giant
standing in my backyard... Luckily my cow and my three chicken
proceeded to kill him.
There are so many corpses
lying around my house all the time and my wife and children don't
even seem to care. But I digress...
So my son has his own
little skeever buddy that always follows him and stands on his
bedside when he sleeps. Kind of creepy... but cute creepy.
So I came home from an
adventure once and my daughter ran to me and seemed kind of
unsettled. She told me that there were monsters in the basement and
that she was afraid to go down there. So I calmed her down and went
inside the house to check the situation. Down in the basement were a
lot of skeever roaming around and it seemed like my son was trying to
fend them off with his wooden sword. So I unsheathed my daedric sword
and killed all of the skeevers – some of them were not even
aggressive. I took care to not accidentally kill my son's cute pet.
Then when everything was dead my son went back up to his room. His
pet however stayed there staring at the bloody corpses of his skeever
brethren. Maybe there was a look of terror on his little skeever
face. But I could not tell because I don't know what a terrified
skeever looks like. He just kept standing there for a long long time.
A few days later I noticed
that he went back to accompany my son again. Turns out all of the
bodys in the basement were gone – just like corpses in Skyrim seem
to vanish after a time (except the ones around my house -.-"). Or maybe my
wife simply cleaned the basement.
I kind of felt really bad and guilty about this.
So I placed some flowers in the basement and went on to find new
adventures.
