I'll tell you both then, when I've collected my thoughts. We should proceed cautiously." What's so important about me being Dragonborn? "Not yet, not yet. We should keep moving." Do you know the way out of here? "Yes, yes. I'm a little deaf in my right ear." Wait here. there's one more thing I must bring."Įsbern: "Well, I guess that's good enough. where'd I put my annotated Anuad?"Įsbern: "One moment, I know time is of the essence, but mustn't leave secrets for the Thalmor. I must gather a few things."Įsbern: "I'll need this. While packing his items: Esbern: "But, give me. then there is hope! The gods have not abandoned us! We must. They've left us to our fate, as the plaything of Alduin the World-Eater." It's not hopeless, Esbern. It seems the gods have grown tired of us. But no Dragonborn has been known for centuries. They've left us to our fate, as the plaything of Alduin the World-Eater." You're talking about the literal end of the world? "Oh, yes. the dragon who's raising the others? "Yes, yes! You see, you know but you refuse to understand! Oh, yes. all I could do was watch our doom approach." Alduin. I'm tired of running." What do you mean, "the end is upon us"? / What do you mean, "it's hopeless"? "Haven't you figured it out yet? What more needs to happen before you all wake up and see what's going on?

Make yourself at home." Esbern: "That's better. While opening the door: Esbern: "This'll just take a moment." Esbern: "This one always sticks. Delphine really is alive, then? You'd better come in then and tell me how you found me and what you want." Leave me alone!" Delphine said to "remember the 30th of Frostfall." "Ah. Quickly now, Thalmor agents have been seen in the Ratway." There are Thalmor agents in the Ratway. there really is hope after all? You'd better come inside. You'd better come in and tell me how you found me and what you want." I'm the one the Blades have been searching for. (Persuade) "So Delphine keeps up the fight, after all these years. "Oh, how reassuring! Most likely you're with the Thalmor and this is just a trick to get me to open the door!" Delphine needs your help to stop the dragons. And here I am, caught like a rat in a trap." The Thalmor have found you. so you've finally found her, and she led you to me. I don't know what you're talking about." It's okay.
