The Imperial and the High Elf walked arm and arm down the streets of Whiterun, just recently painted white with a fresh dusting of snowfall from the earlier evening before. Erebus took a deep breath, feeling cold slide down his warm throat. He breathed out a puff of cloud and smiled. "It's so crisp and clear this morning. It certainly is refreshing." Better than rain in the south and bone stabbing ice in the north. It was a somewhat happy medium. At least Erebus was enjoying himself.

"It sure is," Iirefire beamed happily, simply sight seeing at the moment. It had been awhile since she had roamed around the streets, she would usually send her stewardess around. But now it was Iirefire's turn once again. She was shivering a slight bit, but not enough for anyone to be thrown into a panic. Many people who they passed by waved happily at her, and she waved back. Some others who waved noticed the strange Imperial with her and raised some brows, but they didn't say much more than that. They didn't want to cause any trouble with Iirefire and her new friend... er boyfriend as people thought. "Whiterun is quite lovely in the mornings... at night however many people are inside cowering towards the fire." She turned towards him and flashed a goofy smile.

"I never cower towards the fire," he said with a chuckle. "But lounging by a fireplace on a cold winter's night sounds most enjoyable." He hardly did much of that anymore, considering that fire was much more dangerous to him now. But it was still a pleasant thought, especially if there was a nice, young body curled up next to him too.

"Most of the time yes. Before someone gets greedy." She sighed slightly, walking along and looking at the white snow beneath them. "Then people kind of grump away and find other places to cower... or fight." She turned back to Erebus, smiling gently. "I keep forgetting if I asked you this question or not... where are you from?" Iirefire had such a selective memory, she forgot even the simplest of things.

"Ah, no, I don't think you asked me," he said. "I'm from..." There it was. He could not remember. It had been more than two hundred years since he was a young one, and he remembered his life then only vaguely. So he decided to just make it up on the fly. "Everywhere. I've been wandering so long I don't think I have any right to claim a birthplace. I guess that's to be expected of those who go where the wind takes them, never grounding any roots."

"Really?" She nearly raised a brow, but instead offered a small smile. "That's understandable. I'm originally from Haafingar... But I left because I just didn't really... belong." She shrugged slightly, walking by and looking up at the sky. It was somewhat warming up now thanks to the sun that was peaking through the clouds.

"Haafingar? What part of Haafingar?" he asked. He had passed through it several times. It was a nice area. Much better than the Pale, at least by his standards. And the people there had rather delectable blood types. He remembered a particularly saucy, spicy blood he had sipped from a local. He quickly put those thoughts from his mind. Now he was getting thirsty again.

"My family were members of the Thalmor Embassy, but me and my siblings lived in Solitude," She tried her best to not sound so bitter at the mention of her family. "I left a few years ago because I had huge disagreements with my family about their beliefs and how rules and stuff are. I came here to Whiterun because its peaceful." Iirefire smiled gently. She was glad she didn't stay in Solitude, it would have been a nightmare to hear all of those pep talks from her family members.

"The last place of neutrality left in Skyrim," he said with a bitter edge to his voice. "In the wilds, it is true neutrality. The only things that have the right to dictate laws are the stronger as they devour the weaker, and the safeguards of the innocent. A wolf eat wolf world. But Whiterun tries to emmulate that in a peaceful way, refusing to fight or to be pacified. It's like a safe haven here, away from the vicious fangs of the Nords and the bloodied talons of the Empire."

Iirefire was a bit alarmed at the edge in his voice, but she let out a small sigh and looked at the snow beneath them again. She couldn't help but agree with him. "Yeah... I just wish that we can all get along. But I bet it won't happen in my lifetime..." She she let out a sad laugh before looking down at the snow once again.

"As long as people are alive, they will find something to contend with," he said. "The best merely try to ignore and rise above it, making their own way in the world." People like me.

"Indeed." She smiled happily. "I've someone done that, made a living here and now running a rather nice inn..." She staggered a little bit, coming across a strange out of place patch of ice. "Well then... watch your step." Iirefire felt somewhat embarrassed by her near stumbling into the snow and ice. However she continued to walk along until they hit one of her favorite parts of town. "Oh this is a rather nice part of town. Whenever I go out I hope I can visit here."

He gripped her arm a little tighter as a reflex when he felt her slip. "Careful," he murmured as she straightened up, but as she continued on like nothing happened, he knew she was fine and she seemed rather surefooted. He followed along with her, taking in the sights of the town and its buildings and people that milled down the streets. "Oh, this is lovely," he said.

"It is." She agreed with him, walking with him. "Are you hungry?" She asked after a while. It was about time they ate something. They could always go back to the inn, but there was some stands where people would make some food and sell them to people along this stretch. Iirefire moved a slight bit and tugged him along to one of the stands.
