What's a Housecarl?

My initial reaction when assigned a housecarl: assume that meant a slave. They're actually more like bodyguards, and extremely loyal and trustworthy as they are sworn to protect those they serve with their life.

Thinking on it...calling a housecarl a slave would probably be extremely offensive...very much so...

Good thing that wasn't an option to respond with...

Way to start out on the wrong foot with your adventuring companion, Saraya. >.>

Technically I had this reaction during my husband's playing of the game, but whatever~ K!Saraya and Lydia. Comic one of future Skyrim related comics. I'm still practicing with this style, so we'll see how it works out. Hopefully I'll get a lot of practice with backgrounds as well. For now though, enjoy. :3
