Episode 23: "The Godly Drinker"
*Scene fades in at a small, cramped bar, a kajhit bard is drukenly singing stories about his homeland facing a roaring hearth, with a semicircle of multiple ethcnicities in front of him, the roof is low, held up by oddly placed pillars, a guard is bracing himself on a wall, staring at customers for any sign of troublemakers, Uthgerd is sitting at a small table in the corner of the room, the dragonborn enters after the establishing shot closely followed by Lydia*
Dragonborn: "The Bannered Mare, the best place to get drunk in all of skyrim!"
Lydia: "I must admit, thane, I've never been here before, it never seemed like a very..." *Shoots a look at the kajhit bard, who by now has discarded his lute and has started to take off his shirt to the hoots and howling of the onlookers* "High-end place to be."
Dragonborn: "Hey, I never said it was a classy establishment, just said it was a good place to get drunk, and you're starting to sound like that stuck up elf by the way, he just wouldn't shut up about the cloud district, or some shit. Still never figured out where that place was, either."
*The dragonborn looks around the room, before noticing Uthgerd, giving her a wave and walking over to her, ignoring the bard, who by now has passed out on the floor*
Dragonborn: "Heeey, Uthgerd! Still a regular around here? Thought you would've gotten back to your palace, what with you being such a little princess."
Uthgerd: "Yeah, yeah, keep talking you prick, I've been a laughing stock ever since you decked me hard enough to break one'na my teeth."
Lydia: *Whispered*, "Thane, is this 'Uthgerd' one of your friends?"
Uthgard: "Hey, I still have pretty good hearing, and it's Uthgerd The Unbroken to you, this idiot over here only calls me without my title because I can't knock him out in a fair fight just yet."
Dragonborn: "'Just yet'? If I remember, I decked your ass without breaking a sweat."
Uthgerd: "Doubt you'll remember much next time I come to beat you up, what are you here for, anyway? You need my help with a job again? Hope you remembered I'm not taking it if there are any more of those bloody Frostbite Spiders, they give me the shivers."
Dragonborn: "Nah, I'm on my day off, just came here to get a good drink, and get one for my Housecarl, who apparently has never been drunk in her life."
Lydia: "I'm a housecarl, not some brawler."
Uthgard: "Oh, really? Well, look to none other than that guy," *She points at an ordinary man, looking around the bar with bright eyes.* "He's been going up against everyone in the bar in drinking contests, and he foots the bill for them, too, think you'll be able to beat him?"
Dragonborn: "I know so."
