                Jade lowered her hands from her ears, “Dear Talos…Nazir wasn’t just being rude. Doesn’t he bother you?” she said, asking the inn keeper.

                “I’m always worried that he’ll scare off my customers, but look around, the inn’s been empty for decades. He pays his keep, so I let him stay. So what's a stranger doing around Morthal?”

                “I'm just passing through, heading to Riverwood to visit an old friend of mine. I need a room for the night, if you wouldn't mind."

        "Ten gold and the room to the left is yours."
