Dialogue[]
Harsh Lesson[]
When first meeting him, if the Vestige is not an Altmer, Bosmer, or Khajiit:
"Away with you, outlander. We don't deal with your kind here."
- I work for the Queen. I'm here to conduct an inspection. "Oh, truly? Consider yourself most welcome then. Apologies for my brusque greeting. It's been a trying few days."
- I've heard reports of mistreatment here at the college. "Nonsense. Are we strict? Yes. Do we make our students work hard? Yes. Combat, tactics, etiquette—to join the Thalmor, there's a great deal to learn."
- How do you justify abuse? "This is not a cafe in Skywatch. This is war! The Pact, the Covenant. They look upon Auridon as a succulent fruit, ripe for harvest. We must prepare our students for the trials they'll face in the field."
- I'd prefer to see for myself. "Fine. We have nothing to hide here. Visit the classrooms, spar with our instructors. You'll see our lessons are tough, but fair."
- I'll do that.
- I'd prefer to see for myself. "Fine. We have nothing to hide here. Visit the classrooms, spar with our instructors. You'll see our lessons are tough, but fair."

After sparring with the proctors:
"So. Did you finish your tour of our little school?"
- I did. "What did you think?"
- I can't believe you treat these people like that. "You just don't understand. These people are raw, untrained, undisciplined. We must take extraordinary steps."
- Fine. Is there anything else I should see? "Nothing comes to mind. Just the student dorms, and I'd prefer you let the trainees study in peace. Thank you for your interest in the college. I'm afraid I must be going now."
- It's a very nice school. I'm impressed. [Lie] [?]
- I can't believe you treat these people like that. "You just don't understand. These people are raw, untrained, undisciplined. We must take extraordinary steps."

Ilara: "Why did you throw her in here? She did nothing wrong!" Tanion: "You don't belong here, cat. None of you belong here!"
