Night Without Stars (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

It was a rather smooth day, he and Rikke working well together as they discussed troop movements as well as information pulled from Stormcloak prisoners. There was suddenly clamoring, however, before a guard came into the room.
"Lieutenant! Captain! Please, forgive my interruption, it's very important!"
"What's this about?" Rikke demanded dryly. The guard swallowed hard.
"There was an attack, another assassin!" He said. Rikke glanced to Hulara before nudging her head.
"Go." She ordered.
 
The guard followed quickly, but Hulara was taller and had a longer stride than him, so he cleared it from the Dour to Proudspire in half the time it took the ord to run top speed. When he opened the door, the front room and the kitchen were destroyed; things were thrown every where in a desperate attempt to keep someone at bay. "Captain, is that you?" A voice called from the upstairs, another guard.
"Hulara!!" Satlyn. She sounded terrified.
 
The bedroom door was broken open, the guard standing between Satlyn and the body of a Dark Brotherhood assassin. Satlyn pushed passed the guard and ran to her husband, holding onto him tightly.
 
"Please never leave me again.." She pleaded softly.
"I came as soon as I heard the screaming, sir. She did a damn fine job on her own, all things considered." The guard said, "I made sure to check for wounds, she doesn't have a scratch."
 
"Of course, sir. You would do the same for any man, I'm sure." He said, "I'll grab some men to get this rat out of your home, please excuse me." He bowed his head and left. Satlyn gripped Hulara's armor in a vice, "Will it ever end?" She asked softly.
"We will never stop." The words of the first Brotherhood member rang in Hulara's head, and he had half a mind to hunt down the damned Sanctuary and torch it.
 
He nodded. "Of course.." he said and he took her back to the castle, letting her sit outside the meeting room.
 
She didn't make a sound, just sat outside while Hulara continued his meeting with Rikke. The guards made sure she was comfortable and practically doted on her while Hulara worked.
 
She smiled each time she saw him, taking his hand and bringing it to her cheek or lips, taking comfort in his presence.
"I'm doing much better now, love...thank you.." She said gently, "the guards say Proudspire is nearly cleaned and it should be ready by the time you're done here.."
