"I've only met the Thalmor once, but I've heard enough to know that they're a nasty bunch. Extremely arrogant elves trying to decide how everyone else lives and all that, did a real number to the Empire a couple decades ago. And now Skyrim's up in arms because they don't like religion, not that I've ever been pious. They're one of the few folks I hate. The way they treated Adlof when I was younger, well, there's been many times I considered going against them. Hell I just might one of these days, gods know it'd do a favor for Tamriel."

"I agree, but I wonder at what point will the stop? If they go for the Dunmer's New Temple it's going to be a bloodier war than this one. And what of the Redguard or Bretons? The Argonians? Khajiit? Or do they just not like Talos. If anyone's going to start an unending war it's going to be them." He smiles, "I'd gladly aid you in a hunt against them, though I can't imagine they'd put up much of a fight."

"I think it has something to do with the idea of a man becoming a god, what with the age-old rivalry of men and mer. In the end, it's just going to get folks hurt who don't deserve it- one rotten apple spoils the whole bunch. Wonder if the High Elves even support the Thalmor that much or if they get by with roughing up folks, it sounds like the kind of thing they'd do. It wouldn't do much good against me, though. Be it sword or spell; whatever it is, it isn't something I haven't dealt with before. Never been one for bragging, but I could take care of them just fine, even if they knew to bring silver blades."

"I don't even think I'd need to turn into a werecroc to deal with them." He says cockily, "Catch em by surprise, take out the mage first. Then just take out the swordsmen." He says with a chuckle, "In a perfect world, of course. But I could still easily handle them, they're weak." He says, "And if I did enter my beast form they'd be significantly more outmatched."

"Dealing with them in a simple fight would be trivial for myself, and transforming would be wholly unnecessary. But I will say this- do remain aware that while not stronger than either of us, they could still be smarter. Strength wins battles, but wisdom wins wars. There's a reason why they managed to get the Empire to listen to their demands. If you aren't at least aware that they could be doing something unseen, you risk being caught at your worst, or manipulated into a position where you can't fight. So, plan ahead. Bait them, distract them, make use of wits and cunning to create openings. I'm quite the hunter myself, and in a fight, it comes in *Very* Handy."

*Perhaps Rodric was overthinking things, and being in the wild certainly had a bit to do with it, as well as the myriad of threats. Though the word 'threat' was very loose given his strength, they could still be dangerous in ways one doesn't think about. He was a skilled hunter, and getting into the head of your target was second nature. Lycanthropy just confirmed that aspect of his personality- suffice to say, he would rather overestimate the Thalmor as tacticians than underestimate them.*
