Just a Skyrim fanfic: Extended cut

The horn and the dragon

(Leonidas came out of Ustengrav with a large amount of gold and jewels, but no horn. But he has an idea of where to look next)

(Riverwood)

Delphine: Oh, hello there, traveller. What can I do for y-

Leonidas: Cut the act, Delphine. You know why I'm here

Delphine: You know who I am?

Leonidas: Do believe me to be a fool? I recognize you even without the hood from when I met you with Farengar. Even without your cover at High Hrothgar

Delphine: How did you know about that?

Leonidas: The only place that I've talked about my task was at High Hrothgar. You were the only one nosy enough to investigate that deeply. It doesn't take a genius to figure out you must have been listening, Delphine. Or should I say... blade?

Delphine: Excuse me?

Leonidas: You're sloppy. You left clues all over. Footprints in the snow, which match your boots perfectly. The blades history books. The hollow walls. Even that blades style dagger I know you have strapped to your thigh, and the spare you have under your pillow

(Delphine slow claps)

Delphine: Well well. Looks like you figured it out. Well played. You must be the dragonborn I've been hearing so much about. I think you're looking for this

(Delphine gives Leonidas the horn)

Delphine: We need to talk

Leonidas: What's there to talk about?

Delphine: Follow me

(Delphine takes Leonidas into a room, shuts the door, and opens a secret passage into a blades headquarters)

Delphine: The greybeards seem to think you're the dragonborn. I hope they're right

Leonidas: Ok, I'm here. What do you want?

Delphine: I didn't go to all this trouble on a whim. I needed to make sure it wasn't a Thalmor trap. I'm not your enemy. I'm actually trying to help you. I just need you to hear me out

Leonidas: I'm listening, but make it quick. I'm kind of in a hurry here

(Delphine gets up in Leonidas's face and raises her voice)

Delphine: I'll explain what I want when I want. Got it? You'd already be dead if I didn't like the look of you when you walked in here

(Leonidas extends his assassin blade and puts it at Delphine's throat)

Leonidas: Bold words for someone in a secluded area with a dragonborn assassin. Now start talking, or I extend the blade into your neck and make you choke on your own blood

Delphine: Wait! I had to know if the rumors about you were true! The blades have been looking for a dragonborn for a very long time. That is, if you really are dragonborn. Before I tell you anymore, I need to make sure I can trust you

Leonidas: Why are you looking for a dragonborn?

Delphine: We remember what most don't. That the dragonborn is the ultimate dragonslayer

Leonidas: (Mockingly) Huh. Who could possibly have guessed?

Delphine: It means you're the only one that can kill a dragon permanently by devouring it's soul. Can you do it? Can you devour a dragon's soul?
