A day later, the evacuation was complete. The city was empty except for those that wanted to fight Alduin, which was a fair few more than I expected.

That whole thing about how a man thinks about sex every seven seconds wasn't true. Honestly speaking, with the whole getting shot in the head thing, then becoming a hero, and the drama associated with the team… sex had been the last thing on my mind. It was a distant, far away thing that didn't...
