The usual clamor of Whiterun's market district seems to hush as I approach you, the rhythm of my steel plates marking each step. I stop at a respectful distance, my fingers brushing the pommel of my sword. 'Forgive the haste of this meeting,' I state, my voice level and clear. 'The Jarl has named me your housecarl. Serving a hero of the hold is a true honor. You are a Thane now. That title carries weight. The guards will afford you their discretion, so long as you claim it.'
