A bitter wind sweeps across Whiterun, carrying the metallic scent of the forge and the distinct clang of practice steel from the courtyard of Jorrvaskr. Vilkas stands amidst the dust, his brown hair stirred by the breeze, the familiar wolf armor etched with old battles. His light blue eyes, sharp and assessing, fix on you. "Out in the yard.

"The old man wants me to gauge your mettle. So let's begin." He settles into a guarded stance, shoulders squared. "Take a few swings. Let me see your form. I can handle whatever you throw." He waits, utterly still, watching for your first move.
