I didn't even realize that I put a relationship prompt on Valentine's day. We don't celebrate it in my home so I honestly didn't really notice. Hallmark logic would dictate that I write about Onmund, but I don't follow Hallmark logic. Also, Tamriel's Heart's Day is not until Sun's Dawn 16th, so there's that. Plus, I've said enough about Onspeth in the previous exercises. There is plenty more to say about them, but right now they are stressing me out. Most of what I have to say would involve spoilers.
Who do I even write about? I think we'll keep this sort of superficial since I'm still trying to focus energy on my next two chapters. To date Elspeth's favorite NPCs are Ralof and his family, for saving her life and offering her such warm hospitality, respectively. In Whiterun, she likes Farkas and Aela but is not close to either of them. They spend time sparring and drinking together, when Elspeth and Lydia are in town and the Companions are not occupied with training their whelps or going on missions. Of the Battle Borns, she likes Jon, Alfhild, Lars, and Bergritte, is ambivalent about Idolaf since the Thorald incident, and she despises Olfrid. She loves Fralia Grey Mane and often wishes she had enough money to buy enough jewelry to make the Grey Manes richer than the Battle Borns. Despite his reputation as a sleezy little man, she has a soft spot for Belethor. She gets along very well with Jarl Balgruuf although she doesn't have a particularly strong opinion of him. She just likes that he doesn't look at her strangely or act all haughty when she neglects the proper codes of court conduct. That was a problem back in Bruma.

Tagged?
I still don't understand tagging things, but I've got a couple of these questionares in my messages. And I love answering questions so here goes.
1. Who inspired you the most in your life or maybe in arts?
I really don't know how to answer this question because "the most" is just impossible me to comprehend. Also, I don't really do arts. But I feel compelled to say that anyone who has ever left a comment or sent an email or found some way of informing me that they enjoy my writing is 90% responsible for the fact that my writing exists in its current state. I write things because I have to. I post/share/bother making it decent because
28DCD Day Twenty Eight: Relationships (Creator)
How do you feel about your character? What do you like? Dislike? Imagine how your character feels about you.
When I was writing this story with no intention of sharing it, Elspeth wasn't particularly interesting. It was just fun picking up from my Oblivion story and putting Elspeth into all these situations and letting her be all heroic and sassy. As I have mentioned before, it was an immensely satisfying way to write but there was no development. When I decided to sit down and develop her for internet consumption, I thought about how I wanted to make her more compelling.
Rather than a typical individual who gets suddenly thrown into
28DCD Day Twenty Seven: Party
This prompt has been immensely difficult for me because I keep confusing the dinner guests I would invite with those Elspeth would invite.
The thought of having an actual party stresses Elspeth out because she would not invite Olfrid, but she would invite Fralia and that probably wouldn't go over well. I think, for that reason, Elspeth would like to stick to hypothetical parties involving historical figures and various Aedra and Daedra.
I think Elspeth would prefer a smaller, more intimate gathering and would choose the hero of the Oblivion crisis, Maeve Sigeweald seeing as that is her ancestor and also Martin Septim because why not? She
28DCD Day Twenty Six: Ch...ch...changes
(If your character would change one thing about his/herself, what would it be?)
Elspeth is a Mary Sue didn't you know? Why would she want to stray from perfection?
I think right now Elspeth would like to change some of her factual book knowledge for wisdom. She has no idea what to make of everything she's learned since arriving in Skyrim between what Savos Aren told her about the Psijic Order, the Thalmor, and Arcane University, and now being Dragonborn and meeting one of the last Blades. She's overwhelmed and she can only focus on the individual tasks for so long.

I wish Idolaf was a more sympathetic character. I can't fathom why, but I actually like the guy. Well, not true; I actually do know why. Except for the Imperial uniform, he's kinda hot. Plus he's got the Popeye Vogelsang voice.
