"It's always something, isn't it?" He says with a chuckle, "Shoulda never hoped to live in interesting times." He climbs onto the horse, "Maybe there will be a new hero, blessed by the Divines to save us from this strife. Could even be you, Crusader."
Judy
"I'm just a Knight. Nothing more. The armor may be blessed, but I'm only mortal."
Mary
"As was the Hero of Kvatch, from what I recall." He says, "Just because we're mortal does not mean we can't be heroes."
Judy
"The Hero Of Kvatch defeated a daedric invasion. I'm fighting for a rebellion most consider a racist supremacist uprising. I don't know how fondly I'll be remembered."
Mary
"A fair point, but you said it yourself, it's wishful thinking to assume the revolt is the end of this countries woes." He sighs, "I'm sure you've noticed the increase in vampire sightings."
Judy
"It's what made me quit. A vampire living among solitude nobility did. Dunmer, she paid the city to make us leave. I think she lives in southern eastmarch now, with the hot springs."
Mary
"I feel sorry for the poor sods. I pray someone can find a cure for the curse, same with Lycans." He says with a solemn sigh
Judy
"At least one that doesn't require daedric pacts."

*They had been moving for a bit, enough to see the city again.*

"Their existence is an affront to Divine Teachings."
Mary
"I agree. Those soul curses are daedric in nature. It's reprehensible, I don't blame many for condemning them to death, but Stendarr teaches mercy, and if there is another way I will gladly give up my life to find it."
Judy
"They'll all be condemned to Oblivion anyway."

*She sighed.*

"Even if some of them are good... The vampires... They all have to feed."
Mary
"Finding a cure could be the key to allowing them in their proper afterlife." He says, "I've heard some vampires have found alternate was to feed, but some prove less effective than others."
Judy
"I'll believe it when i see it."

*They were approaching the Stables now.*
Mary
"I'm holding out hope, but Soul Curses are famously hard to cure without some form of daedric intervention."
Judy
"Well, it's done."

*She got off the horse and let the Stablemaster take it.*

"Never speak of this in an Imperial Hold. They'll want answers on that ship."
Mary
"My lips are sealed, Dame." He says hopping off the horse, "I'll be leaving in the morning to continue my journey. Perhaps we have time for another drink."
