Indeed, she is charming, outlander. Thank you again.

[whispering] Psst! Outlander! Do not think me such a fool. Of course I realize you have tricked me. I do not mind. In fact, I think you are very clever to hoodwink the chief of the Zainab, and I think that maybe a clever Nerevarine is not such a bad thing at all. Besides, now I am MUCH happier with this fine young woman than I would have been with a stuck-up Telvanni lady. And here is a little gift. From me. Perhaps when you wear it, you will think of Falura Llervu and me.

I have named you Zainab Nerevarine and given you the Zainab Thong.

This is my new bride? I am very pleased with your gift, %PCName... though she is not so generous in the hips as I would like. I promise to make her a happy bride, and to do her honor as a high-born Telvanni lady. And, as I have said, I will now name you Zainab Nerevarine, War Leader of the Zainab, and Protector of the People. I must also give you the Zainab Thong, an enchanted heirloom of the tribe, which shall be a sign to all Dunmer that the Zainab have named you Nerevarine.

There are preparations to make for my marriage, but everything will be ready when you return with my high-born Telvanni bride.

That's lovely, dear, but I don't think so. I have so much to do around here. Besides, I'm already married. I'm fairly sure. Avos. Or Aven. I think. Little fellow. He's around here somewhere. Some sort of magic thing. Quite funny, actually. Did I tell you? About how easy it is to get those caretellian coordinates mixed up? Oh, dear... really quite a laugh. Quite funny. Yes, indeed. Ehr.... What were we talking about?

I don't think so. Not even as a joke. No. Definitely. Not funny.

You are not thinking clearly. Or you could never say such a thing. I may forgive you, but please do not bring the subject up again.

Thank you. I don't think I realized that, after a long life like mine, I might ever hear something as stupid and offensive as that. If I had, I would have prepared more carefully -- perhaps by burning you to a crisp before you could speak. I believe you will leave now.

I have some advice for you. Do not even think of bringing this subject up with Mistress Dratha. I don't believe I can put this strongly enough. Do. Not.

Hmm. Well. No one can say you are too conventional. No. On careful reflection, I believe that a marriage of a Telvanni noble to an Ashlander ashkhan is impossible for all known definitions of possible. [Chuckle.] Sorry. Didn't mean to... [Chuckle.] Well.... You must admit, it does sound a rather silly idea, doesn't it?

That's a very original idea. I don't believe it has ever existed before. It is an idea that ought to go out of existence. Immediately.

That is completely stupid. Remarkably stupid. You must shut up more often.

I don't think you should even discuss that with Master Neloth. I don't think it's a good idea at all.

A Telvanni noble wed an Ashlander? If this is the beginning of a joke, I am not amused.

That is absurd. A Telvanni noble wed an Ashlander? Never.
