While Alkina had a fondness for her native home, Skyrim was a land she truly grew to love. Her home, Marrowind was a land of ash and heat with skies contantly blackened from the ashes and smoke of her land. She's heard stories that Marrowind was not always this way, that the red mountian erupted and engulfed the land in permanent fire, ash, and smoke, but she couldn't bring herself to believe them. All that seemed to survive the land were different species of bugs and monsters made from ash. Skyrim, however, was a much different place. She left Marrowind as a child and remembered the first time she felt the cold winds of Windhelm. The way it nipped and prickled her skin in such a unique feeling made her fall in love with the cold. Being so use to heat, it took some time before she could fully enjoy it. It didn't quite help that the people weren't too welcoming of her kind, but there was nothing she could do about it. In fact, it was those kinds of people that influenced her decisions that led her onto the path of murder. Nonetheless, she fell in love with the diversity that Skyrim's land offered along with the beauty that it held unlike her home. When she wanted to feel the cold, she'd go North and when she wanted to remember what warmth feels like, she could go South. All the while, trees and mountians plagued the land with all its majesty. While she'll always love Marrowind, Skyrim was a place she felt truly at home.
As Aventus caught up with his contact and arranged a room for them, Alkina looked around the inn. While Rorikstead wasn't a very impressive place, its inn was very lovely and welcoming. This came as no surprise to her since the inn was a place that gained most of its profits from travelers and adventurers like themselves. The smell of mead, fresh bread, meats, and sweet breads filled the air along with the singing of a nearby bard playing the lute. Even though, Alkina loved her job as a cold blooded assassin, it was nice to be in a place like this from time to time, especially with company she wouldn't mind getting her hands on.
Aventus' voice broke her away from her thoughts as she turned to look at him. While she personally would like a room deeper into the inn, she was sure that nothing would be wrong with the room they would receive. After all, people like them were hard to sneak up on and especially difficult to kill. If anything were to happen, she was sure it would be handled in a few moments. She gave him a approving smile and spoke, "That should be fine. Now come..." She grinned grabbing onto his hand. "I've been dying to get my hands on you again." With a almost sinister chuckle, Alkina grinned and led Aventus to their room with a bit of excitement in her steps.
