I love the playful little trick with the fox!
Great to see your tale continues on!
I am delighted that you loved that trick Edrelle played on her dear archer, she is fond of weaving the illusion of foxes that one
There are still things that I want to tell about Edrelle and her friends
...and ... you really make me tensed who will be the new member of this family ...
Glad you are curious about that new member of their unusual family
very nice set and your characters always look great with your own unique touch
Many thanks, Corfus, I am glad my characters have that unique touch
Yet the flip side of that is should the guild become a large enough thorn the nobles may push for action. Perhaps the Empire might push back saying that the guild is helping to fight the Thalmor in a way that they can't and hence only make a token gesture of hunting down the guild members or trying to control them. This could also work if the Thalmor turn to the Empire asking them to enforce the treaty.
As for the Thalmor ... well they might also push back and on their end there would not be a lot that would stop them beyond the fact that it might be hard to track the thieves down ... although they could target the base in Riften.
Beyond that intrigue I enjoyed the idea of Edrelle keeping her magic skills sharp and the wonderful descriptions of her illusions and how they were part of the natural world around her. A cool way for one to practice.
Not to mention the adorable banter and love play between her and Dimitri - a fun little meeting between them and I hope they have many more sunsets to enjoy.
Edrelle and Tacita have been choosing very carefully which nobles to steal from to have the most effect in dissuading the others to work with the Thalmor, finding out which has a scheme in motion, or is closest to putting a scheme into motion. My thinking is that those nobles who aren't targeted are glad not to be and keep quiet so as not to risk becoming a target, the guild is using their tendency for selfishness against them. Though one or a few nobles might ask the empire for action, with a war in the midst of a fragile pause they would not have much pull.
The Thalmor are more of an issue though even they are unsure who exactly is disrupting their plans in Skyrim, Honey Stripes, being very good at being elusive, has created a new band of thieves whose name has been spreading across Skyrim, a band that has been less discrete in their actions against the Thalmor, essentially a false target for the Thalmor to chase run by a few very skilled thieves to mask the more subtle actions of the guild. You may remember Tuine, Carril's once friend and lover, she has been delaying actions to investigate who is disrupting the Thalmor.
Edrelle's mother made sure to teach her the value of continual practice of one magical skills and she has taken it to heart and it seems to have served her well so far. It does help that she finds weaving illusions to be quite a fun challenge. It is great to hear you liked my descriptions of those illusions conjured out of parts of the forest around her.
I am happy you found that banter between them adorable, they do have fun teasing each other - they are sure to enjoy many more sunsets. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this short tale, Jonathan
