Forget about that. Ask your questions about the Nerevarine cult and the Sixth House cult.

Addhiranirr still thinks you are a fool for selling her out to a Census and Excise agent, but you are a friend of Caius, so Addhiranirr will tell you about the Nerevarine cult and the Sixth House cult.

You have some nerve, and also some great stupidity, to think you can do Addhiranirr the favor of selling her out to a Census and Excise agent, and then think Addhiranirr will tell you about the Nerevarine cult, or the Sixth House cult, or anything else.

Really? You have made the agent go away? This is a good trick. And Addhiranirr does not ask you how you do this trick, because Addhiranirr does not want to know. But now Addhiranirr is feeling quite good, and happy to talk to you about the Nerevarine cult or the Sixth House cult. Go ahead. Ask your questions.

Perhaps your ears are clogged? I said, if you want Addhiranirr to help you, go get rid of this agent who is bothering me.

You do not know this? They are the collectors of the Emperor's taxes and tariffs. And the Emperor has outlawed trade in many things, like Dwemer artifacts and ebony, and a Census and Excise agent will enjoy being a pest about such things. For several reasons, a Census and Excise agent is not Addhiranirr's favorite person. If you want Addhiranirr to help you, make the bad agent go away. Then she will tell you things.

They're the Imperial tax collectors. They hunt smugglers and tax dodgers.

Census and Excise is the Imperial agency that collects taxes and tariffs. You know... the taxman. Their agents also investigate smugglers and other tax cheats.
