Talila

Hey, you okay?

Lara Rosewood

Yeah, just needed some fresh air its a little stuffy in there

Talila

I'm... I'm sorry for what I said

Lara Rosewood

Its alright, I know you did not mean it 

 

Talila

Its just... that Daedra really just... ugh!

Lara Rosewood

I know you don't trust them. But not all Daedra are Evil.

Talila

You serve a Daedric Prince who help Thieves steal things better.

Lara Rosewood

Yeah but shes not all bad. The coin I steal often goes to Beggars and people who need it. Its not always about making coin Tali, sometimes its about using it in the right way.

Talila

Your lucky I like you enough to trust you. Even if you are a pawn of a Daedric Prince

Lara Rosewood

I'm the Champion of Nocturnal, I think that means she cares a little more about me then some common worshiper if you ask me.

 

Talila

I hope your right.

Lara Rosewood

Me too

 

Talila

If you let the Daedra out and she harms Phoenix, you'll regret it!

Lara Rosewood

I know, but hey I like to think that everything happens for a reason. I saved you didn't I?

 

Talila

You slowed her down while I recovered. I still could have taken her

Lara Rosewood

Yeah right. Look The Aedra, the Daedra they all rule over us. You serve the Aedra, I serve the Daedra. Yet we are both still here

Talila

Stendar is a worthy god to worship. He gives me strength everyday to do what I must

Lara Rosewood

Nocturnal is too. She saved my life, choose me when she could have left me to die.

 

Talila

Like you said "everything happens for a reason" I guess

Lara Rosewood

True that

 

Talila

Well, good talk.

Lara Rosewood

Yeah, good talk

 

Talila

Phoenix!

Phoenix

Yes Tali?

Talila

I'm heading out down to Falkreath, wanna come?

Phoenix

Uhg, no I'm okay today. Thank you

 

Talila

Do you need anything, books? paper? ink?

Phoenix

No, I'm good thank you.

 

Talila

Very well. Stay out of the Cellar, Lara will still here. She can help if you need anything

Phoenix

Okay, how long do you think you'll be?

 

Talila

An hour if I huff it, two if I walk. Maybe I'll get a carriage back

Phoenix

Okay. Be safe Tali 

 

Talila

I always am. I'll be back before you know it

Phoenix

Good, I'm already missing you  

Phoenix

Guess who?!

Aria Bal

Your not supposed to be down here

Phoenix

Come on, I came down here to see you

Aria Bal

Tali finds out and I'm already more dead then I am now. Just go Phoenix

Phoenix

Tali's gone. For a little while anyway so we have to talk

Aria Bal

Oh, well thats good, I guess. What is it you wish to talk about?

Phoenix

How are you feeling?

Aria Bal

Wet, cold and hungry in that order oh and a little horny

Phoenix

I'm sorry I don't have any food, but I'll bring you some tonight if you like?

Aria Bal

Hey its okay, I don't need food like your kind goes. I'll survive for however long I am to remain

Phoenix

Still, I'll get you something. I'll see if there is a towel around here for you as well. Your soaked

Aria Bal

Hey, no stay. Please, I don't care that I'm soaked, horny, hungry or tired. I just want to sit and chat with you, please your... too kind to me

Phoenix

Okay. What would you like to talk about then?

Aria Bal

You, why are you doing this?

Phoenix

Doing what?

Aria Bal

Coming to see me, you do know I tried to kill your Sister. I was going to turn you over to my Master. I'm not worry of--

Phoenix

I know, but you've changed since you were brought here.

Aria Bal

I have? I still feel the same?

Phoenix

You've changed. Trust me, I can sense it in it Aria

Aria Bal

Really? Hmm, how can you tell? I've been locked in here for weeks

Phoenix

Well you attitude for one has changed. Your more, pleasant to speak to

Aria Bal

Thanks to you, your speak to me as if I'm a person not a Monster

Phoenix

I like to believe if your good to people, they will be good back to you

Aria Bal

I can see the logic in that, but fail to see the reason why choose be kind to me. I am a prisoner

Phoenix

Thats why I'm doing this, you saved me in that Cave, you did not have to

Aria Bal

But I tried to kill your Sister, and still your kind

Phoenix

Yes, and as much as I dislike that fact about you, I see that you can become someone better then you were, you told me things about you. Things that I was sadden to hear. You will in time become my friend Aria, if all plays out right

Aria Bal

Friend? I've never had a friend before

Phoenix

Well, you will if you keep this up

Aria Bal

I'll... try my best

Phoenix

Was there anything else Aria?

Aria Bal

Yeah, just one thing 

Phoenix

Well?

Aria Bal

How did you become so fine?

Phoenix

<Giggles> Fine?

Aria Bal

You know, cute, attractive... super fucking HOT!

Phoenix

You think I'm cute?

Aria Bal

Yeah, you are, has no one ever said you were?

Lara Rosewood

I always thought you were too

Phoenix

<Gasps>Lara!

Lara Rosewood

Your lucky you know, if Tali knew you'd been sneaking down here she'd be mighty pissed! In fact if she knew that I knew that you were sneaking down here she'd be even more pissed

Phoenix

You knew?

Lara Rosewood

Of course I knew, I've been watching you two for a while now

Phoenix

Why?

Lara Rosewood

Because of her, shes been a pain in my ass since we captured her, I've been tempted to send her back to Oblivion but then maybe she could still be of use to me

Phoenix

Why not do it then?

Lara Rosewood

Because of you, you've grown a bond with it, and it seems to have taken a shining to you

Phoenix

Lara shes my friend

Lara Rosewood

I know, at first I thought she was trying to get you to let her out but shes, not interested in getting out, she wants to be locked up in here.

Phoenix

Shes... ashamed of what happend, to Tali I mean she feels bad about it really she does

Lara Rosewood

You trust her?

Phoenix

I.. I do.

Lara Rosewood

Hmm, alright then. Good enough for me I guess 

Phoenix

Are you gonna tell Tali?

Lara Rosewood

Not unless I have to.

Phoenix

Okay

Lara Rosewood

I think its best if you head up stairs so I can have a little chat with our friend here

Phoenix

Okay, just promise me your not gonna hurt her

Lara Rosewood

I promise

Phoenix

Okay then

Lara Rosewood

Shes a good kid, a little naive but still a good kid

Lara Rosewood

Come on Aria, talk to me. I'm being friendly here

Aria Bal

What do you want?

Lara Rosewood

Your help

Aria Bal

With that?

Lara Rosewood

A friend of mines gone missing, you tracked Tali from Dawnstar to outside Whiterun pretty well. Lucky for her I was tracking you or she could be died right now and Phoenix would be hating you

Aria Bal

Find someone you say?

Lara Rosewood

Yes, a friend of mine. Ella, shes a Thief like me. Shes meant to be here by now, but well shes late all the time but never this late.

Aria Bal

And?

Lara Rosewood

Find her, bring her back here and I'll talk to Tali

Aria Bal

About letting me go?

Lara Rosewood

No, but maybe transfer you to another cell till you can be fully trusted.

Aria Bal

Very well, do you have something that belongs to her?

Lara Rosewood

Like what?

Aria Bal

Anything I can use to track her with

Lara Rosewood

I'll look for whatever she left over last time she was here

Aria Bal

Very well, I'll find your friend. Then you let me see Phoenix more without Tali knowing, deal?

Lara Rosewood

Deal

Aria Bal

Thank you Lara

Lara Rosewood

Yeah yeah, do not make me regret this
