(Reyvin's pov)
I take a seat in the common room of the dormitory and after a short moment of silence my colleagues start bombarding me with questions about what happened, I quickly get annoyed at them as they keep shouting over each other, making me unable to even hear what they were asking.
*Cough* I try and get their attention but no one reacts and they keep going.
Deciding to not waste any more of my time I cast a blinding flash making all of them recoil and blessedly shut up.
'Tossing a flashbang into a crowd really does wonders' I muse.
Before they can restart whatever foolishness they were afflicted with I speak "Alright then, can you speak like normal civilized people now?"
I receive a couple of glares and after a moment I hear Marwyn speak with some caution in his voice "We heard many different versions of what happened, how about you go ahead and explain to us for what reason you went and killed a man in his own home."
I let out a humorless chuckle and sarcastically say "Ah yes, went and killed a man in his own home... Of course, why don't you immediately phrase it like I am the one in the wrong?"
He winces a bit probably just realizing that he didn't sound nearly as conciliatory as he wanted, he goes to say something again, but is interrupted by Bor's accusatory voice "Does it really matter? Reyvin here thinks that he can just kill or attack whoever offends him, and I do wonder why Edrasa is following him around when he, you know murdered her father just today?"
I roll my eyes "And why, pray tell do I need to explain myself to you? I am sitting here instead of a jail cell which means that for all intents and purposes, I am an innocent mer that you are trying to frame with a crime Bor." I say playfully and add in a threatening tone "But do go on, I promise not to break your face this time."
(General pov)
After the 'Dyrren incident' as it was now being called things settled back into a pleasant and relaxed rhythm for Reyvin.
He spent a lot of his time perfecting his spider workers, and even managed to rent out a bunch of the newly made ones to the college, as they started the excavation of the cave-in that was discovered during the Falmer expedition.
His enchanting business was booming, and after he finished his first order for Xelzaz, the Dremora merchant, he suddenly got a whole bunch of new orders from him, which enabled him to get all manner of different rare materials and ingredients, but most importantly money.
He was still saving up for his full set of enchanted jewelry, planning to get them done just before he finished his first year of the college and got more freedom to move around.
His time in Winterhold was altogether pleasant, but he was starting to feel the monotony seep into everything he was doing, and planned on leaving to travel around and explore for some time.
When he showed Morrigan his new collection of alchemy ingredients and books he 'rightfully liberated' she kept pestering him to give her some, which he did after he made her teach him alchemy instead of the eternally-high professor. He even started experimenting with his magic cigar idea, but all he got was a burnt throat and a laughing bird noises mocking his weakness.
Some time later, Reyvin's life turned from relaxed studying into torturous monotony, there were no great bandit groups to hunt or Falmer raids to punish, before he even realized almost half a year had passed, and the opening day for his business was coming ever closer.
