Aela was certain there were no ulterior motives behind Jesper's offer. After all, most men in Skyrim were not fond of courting fierce women such as Aela the Huntress. That was quite alright with her; she was accustomed to being feared by men instead of being pursued by them.
"Perhaps I might take you up on that offer, Jesper," she said with a smirk, "But first, allow me to introduce myself. I am Aela the Huntress of the Companions. My two comrades are Ria and Njada Stonearm, who are also fellow Companions."
