Refusing to jump to conclusions, you rap your knuckles on the door a few time and politely wait for somebody to open the door. Three grunts, higher pitched squeaking, and the sound of of breaking glass... It's probably nothing.
A green haired woman suddenly throws the door open, oblivious of her rumpled clothing and green hair, with an annoyed expression on her face. You stare in confusion for a moment as you ponder how somebody could have naturally green hair. Pink is one thing, but these green and blue haired women must have dipped their heads in cloth dye for some reason. Shaking your head, you look past the lady in the door to see an old man clutching his genitals below a shattered window.
What in Oblivion... just... WHY?
As you fail to process the scene before you, the balding man ushers Miss Pendant and her zombie into the room. Suddenly the old bearded man stands up as if he wasn't repeatedly kicked in the crotch. The two men greet each-other before ejecting the green haired lady from the room and launching into a rapid conversation. Even if you can't follow everything, you at least learned that the old man is Osmond, the balding one is Colbert, the woman is longueville, and something about the marks on lavalliere is very unusual.
Tuning out the unintelligible words, you browse through the books in the office.

The sun is nearing the horizon by the time you feel that you've made progress in translating the local writing to Old Nedic and then into modern Tamrielic. You close the book as you notice Pinkie staring at your notes. At some point she had snuck away from the other men and decided to watch you work. Smiling up at the girl from your spot on the floor, you clear a space and beckon her to sit. She takes a moment to make a disgusted face at either the floor or your bloody robes before remembering that she still has bits of gore crusted into her front as well. It isn't the first time you've been covered in blood, but the girl looks rather uncomfortable and you wonder about Colbert's priorities. He could have let the girl get cleaned up before coming here, you don't imagine it to be healthy for a twelve year old to bathe in corpse goo.
"Êtes-vous d'Albion?" She asks as she folds her skirt and sits beside you. Taking a moment to translate her words, you're fairly sure she is asking about your origins, though Albion is gibberish to you.
Tilting your head, you shrug and say "I come from Skyrim" knowing she won't understand. Which is why you're so shocked when she nods to herself and stands before saying, "Apple-geez thieving you f'roam you homlind."
This girl must be one of the smartest preteens you have EVER met. She can cast Command Undead with a non-standard gesture (even if a kiss is a rather bad choice), cast fireball in close range without hurting herself, and studies alongside students so much older than herself. If those weren't enough, she can understand you're last six hours worth of work enough to communicate an apology!
This child has so much potential, there is only one thing you can do.
