She responded, \u201cI don\u2019t care who you believe gives you permission to harass the citizens of the Jarl in Whiterun. I will tell you though; I am the authority here, and if you don\u2019t take your group away from this town, stop bothering everyone you have a suspension about, I will have you and your regulars escorted out of town by sword point. Do I make myself clear?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adventurer smiled slightly and took an immediate liking to this lady. He thought, \u201cShe must be an officer of the Jarl of Whiterun to speak with such confidence.\u201d Then the Justiciar responded, \u201cWell I never, you can be sure the Jarl of Whiterun will hear about this from the authorities in Solitude.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He turned and headed towards the entry where the rest of the Justiciar and Dominion regulars stood. With that, the dark elf lady looked briefly over at the adventurer. Their eyes connected across the distance. He felt her take the measure of his worth. She then turned towards the Sleeping Giant Inn, the local establishment for food, drink, music, and sleep if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He quietly turned, reached out to open the door to the trader and stepped in through the doorway. Once inside he immediately picked up on the heated discussion taking place between the store owner and his sister according to Rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucan was speaking, \u201cThis discussion is over. There will be no thief chasing, not bandit tracking, nothing of the sort.\u201d His sister Camilla stood there defiant and spat back at him, \u201cWell, what are you going to do about then? Nothing!\u201d They then both noticed him standing there is the shadow of the doorway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a38372ae1f4f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a38372ae1f4f\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sleeplessprogrammer.net\/brainexpression\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SiblingsAndChoices.png\" alt=\"The Choices Of Siblings.\" class=\"wp-image-597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sleeplessprogrammer.net\/brainexpression\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SiblingsAndChoices.png 1920w, https:\/\/sleeplessprogrammer.net\/brainexpression\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SiblingsAndChoices-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sleeplessprogrammer.net\/brainexpression\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SiblingsAndChoices-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sleeplessprogrammer.net\/brainexpression\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SiblingsAndChoices-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sleeplessprogrammer.net\/brainexpression\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SiblingsAndChoices-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucan, turned towards him and said, \u201cI don\u2019t know what you heard but the Riverwood Trader is still open for business.
