Steen's home of the certainly strange
The last time Steen was in Llethri Manor, the Darts of Judgement mysteriously went missing. But I’m sure that’s all just a big coincidence. Obviously, Steen is a big-time important politician now – look at her! Reaching across the aisle, trying to form a Redoran/Telvanni coalition to fight together against Imperialist injustices and bust the Mages Guild Monopoly! So suave! So mature! Clearly Steen wouldn’t know anything about the darts, what are you implying?
I was in a goofy mood, so I drew this.
I guess it is a good thing that Steen doesn’t have any problems fulfilling her duties, then! Although honestly, as a low-born nightblade, I’m sure Steen is no stranger to “quiet work.” Indeed, I’m pretty sure that particular work experience is why Master Aryon hired her in the firstplace. And boy does Aryon put it to use. A lot.
Can’t be squeamish in Steen’s line of work!
AND THERE IT STAYED FOR ABOUT A YEAR.
OK I know it seems bad and that Steen is really giving Master Aryon some mixed signals, but I had a very good reason for doing this! You see, the place where I store all my sentimental Morrowind items is… on Aryon’s floor. Sooo, it was only logical that the Silver Staff of Peace went straight there. And I really was super stoked to receive it. So there, no mixed signals after all! The Silver Staff of Peace got treated with deference after all. As to whether Aryon saw it that way… well…
Additionally in my defense, when I had to give the staff to Fast Eddie when I named him my Mouth, I knew exactly where the staff was. Unlike all the multitudes of people that sold/lost it. They kind of have my sympathies… but not really.
Going to pick it up to give to Eddie was probably pretty awkward, though. Imagine:
Aryon: Oh, Steen! You’re back!
Steen: Oh, hey Aryon, I’m uhh… just here to pick up some of my stuff.
*Steen fidgets around a bit, then picks up the staff*
Steen: Ah, there it is… right where I left it.
Aryon: … What are you finally going to do with that staff?
Steen: Oh, uhh, oh. This? Yeah. I’m just gonna give it to uhh, Fast Eddie, you know. He seems like a cool guy and all. It’s like, the traditional gift for a Mouth.
Aryon: So it is.
Steen: Anyway, so yeah, I’ll see you around?
