You all ever get into some kind of reading rut, where every plot and character seems to blend into each other? I guess it's easier to do when books are your job here.

[Clearly, someone's bored.]

So that being the case: what are you favorite books, what are they about and why do you like them? Can be anything from your own world too, I don't care much.

There are no well-traveled or reference authors among the Khajiit that Khajiit has read. Khajiit pass much of their lore in tales spoken by their clan mothers and the moon priests and those things that are written about us are written by others. Often Imperials and Bretons, who feel everything must be written for posterity.

Truthfully, this one understands the need. She lost some of her memory and has failed to recall much of what she used to know of her own people. It is somewhat of an embarrassment to ask others of her kind what they are speaking of when she should know it as well as they. But there are those borne outside of Elsweyr that would also be as lost as she has become so it is both absurd at times, and common enough.

But no... This one has no Khajiit books she likes, because there are not really any Khajiit books to be had.


...The Lusty Argonian Maid was written by an Imperial.

Well, fuck. Sounds like you lost something important.

[ She understands the feeling. ]

Do you think you'll want to try and regain all of that when you go back? Not just your memories, but everything else from your homeland? I've known some people who relish the first fucking chance to escape, and maybe wouldn't mind forgetting whatever it was that happened in their past.

Yes. This one... she did lose something important to her. But it was not so much the memories as it was what went with them.

She does not care so much about getting the old memories back. She is happy to make new ones. But she would not mind exploring the place of her probably birth once she has returned to her world and retrieved the more valuable thing that was taken from her. She does not look for escape. But she does not seek to be imprisoned, either.
