"Ah, Vvardvarks." He says with a chuckle, "I feel keeping them on board should be some sort of crime. I do wonder how well they would adapt to Skyrim's frigid climate. But I think to do an experiment like that you'd need it to completely certain that they can't get out. Which I doubt is possible."
Felix
"Their enclosure on the ship... Well, the ship was *Grown*. They live well."

*She pounted to the museum.*

"Have you met that gentleman? He's a fool. I visit him every time I'm here to see what nonsense he's spouting this time."
Louise
"I am yet to have the pleasure of speaking to him, but I'm hoping he'll pay good money for some goods I'd gotten from the Deadlands." He says, "If anything I hope he'll overpay." He chuckles, "Make some good coin before that poor sod gets himself killed."
Felix
"I tried having a conversation with him. He insisted he read the Commentaries, but when i had to remind him what Lyg was, or was said to be... He seemed very grumpy."

*The guard had allowed the rest of the Echatere's outside in after Gorath Spoke to them. There were 4 in total, all being loaded up.*

"There must be some merit to it, though... Ah, I shouldn't ruminate on ancient, daedric texts with strangers..."
Louise
He smirks, "I don't put any stock in anything Mankar Camoran wrote. He was a madman, nothing more nothing less." He says, "Those mad cultists can all rot away and die for all I care. Worshipping that brute." He scoffs
Felix
"Its odd... They believed Lorkhan to be a prince.. The Prince of Dawn's Beauty. It obviously isn't true... But i had always wondered how he would come to that conclusion. He claims to have a piece of the Razor in that museum, you know. Something like that doesn't belong here, in a town like this."
Louise
"Many of the humans worship Lorkhan, I can see why they do." He says, "I've always seen the Mer's hatred for Lorkhan as... Bitter." He says, "He has a piece of the Razor?" He asks, "Indeed you're right. That should be kept somewhere far from prying eyes."
Felix
"He tried to rope me into finding the rest of them, it was supposedly shattered after the Oblivion Crisis. We fared fine in Vos... The same cant be said about Vivec."

*Everything was almost done being loaded.*

"Even the museum in Mournhold... These artifacts shouldn't be gawked at by the masses."

*The argonian tapped her shoulder. She jumped a bit, almost dropping the Poor Vvardvark.*

"Oh, its done then? Tell Gorath to do here, Solitude, Markarth, Whiterun, and Riften before getting to Windhelm."
Louise
"Off to the other cities, then?" He asks, "Are you running a ..." He gasps, then shakes his head, "Why I almost feel stupid for not seeing it. You're the one who runs Cipher Obscura, aren't you." He says, as if it was the most obvious statement ever said
Felix
"I suppose it might be a little embarrassing if you work in the industry. Yes, I'm the owner. I personally sail, but i hire independent merchants from time to time."

*She smiled. Recognition was a bit rare for her.*

"I do think I've heard of you... But I'm glad we share similar... Sentiments, regarding the law."
Louise
"The Empire won't see a single septim from me." He says with a chuckle, "I've heard of your exploits, you're a bit of a legend, I'd say. The Telvanni merchant upstart, sailing across the high seas." He says with a smile, "Much better than my reputation, though. Many dislike my... Opportunistic methods."
Felix
"I dont support dying monarchies either."

*She laughed.*

"Don't trouble yourself... Worrying about your image. If you were from Morrowind, you'd be just as revered as you say I am. It's simply your circumstance, being from High Rock and all."
Louise
He laughs, "My contacts and customers love me." He says, "And as long as they pay well I get them what they need. Be it food, weapons, or *Other* Goods." He smiles, "My biggest customer in Morrowind was House Redoran, I provided resources to help with the reconstruction efforts. As well as some financial aid." He says, "Almost completely for free, might I add."
Felix
"*Redoran.* While the red year unified us... I still remember the actions Redoran took against House Telvanni in the third era. The only thing we could agree on was toppling the Mage's guild monopoly. They've calmed down now. I still dont trust them."

*She took her left hand and conjured a Dark Seducer on the boat.*

"Return it to the Ship out at sea."

*She would use a portal to return herself and the crew.*
Louise
"Didn't Neloth kidnap Concilor Arobar's daughter?" He says, "And Delyna was held captive at Tel Fyr, driving Arethan mad." He smirks, "I like researching those I do business with. Of the Houses, Redoran seems to be doing the most work in rebuilding Morrowind, no offense to the Telvanni, but their hand in this seems to be... Lacking."
Felix
"I don't condone their actions, but I hope for forgiveness. Even though they certainly have reason for the distrust... Its been hundreds of years. No need remembering petty squabbles, we aren't daedra."

*She laughed.*

"And on reconstruction, you're right. After we moved Council, they stopped caring for Vvardenfell. I donated some to the Reconstruction of Vos and Dagon Fel."
Louise
"The things the Houses did to eachother," He chuckles, "Almost makes it a shame the Morag Tong are so... Weak now." He says, "You can't count on good assassins these days. I'd know, many have tried to kill me, and clearly they aren't that good at it."
Felix
"They're still around, though very diminished. They tried after I joined the council. The assassin died slowly in a mass of writhing tentacles, his body decomposing before him as he watched."

*That was... Too casual.*

"And the Dark Brotherhood... Just as weak, equally unskilled."
Louise
"There's something about worshipping a literal dying corpse that makes me feel they aren't a reputable organization." He says with a chuckle, "I suppose the 'death by tentacle' explains the eye, then."
Felix
"Oh. It took you a while... Were you trying to be polite? I have a... Connection to Hermaeus Mora. Many of the rare things i get come from Cipher's Midden."
