You have been expelled and have your own apologies to make. Make amends and then we'll talk.

It seems that my relief was premature. I should have known that Lord Athyrion does not forget. Well, I should be safe at least as long as I am not foolish enough to travel out of Akamora. But this augurs ill for my research. When the dust has settled, I will probably bid farewell to Morrowind.

It feels great to have this burden lifted from me. Actually, with hindsight, it seems I must have made quite a fool of myself. I owe it to you, %PCName, that I'm able to laugh about this issue now.

He was not aggrieved? How intriguing! I heard that the Dunmer are remarkably proud and easily offended, the Telvanni sorcerers most notably. Then I was worried about nothing this whole time. Very bewildering, but I'll be the last to complain. Thank you, %PCName; I know this is no appropriate reward for your help, nonetheless I want you to have these scrolls. May they be of good use to you. Let me know if you would like to help with any other duties.

Well, %PCName, may I let bygones be bygones now? Has Lord Athyrion received my letter?

When I came to Morrowind I became an apprentice of Master Athyrion in Tel Onoria, but after a while I realized that Telvanni life was not for me. I made no great achievements and was sabotaged by my "colleagues", so I left. But now I have doubts. Did I fail somehow? Have I offended Master Athyrion? I am too anxious to go in person, but you should have little to fear. Please deliver this letter to Tel Onoria. Here, these potions will help you.

If Francine thinks that she insulted Master Athyrion, then she'd better not deliver her apology in person. I don't know if her worries are valid, but we are better safe than sorry when dealing with the Telvanni.

I told you that I don't mind if my incompetent apprentices run away from me. Your importunity is more irritating than this Francine Aldard's absence. Was that it?

But that's what it's about. Didn't she get that? She was not under my mentorship! The great House Telvanni won't weaken itself by putting people into positions they don't deserve to be put into! You have to prove yourself by cunning, wit and mastery of arcane skills. The strong will advance, the weak will fail. You may tell her that; she was smart enough to leave Tel Onoria, she'd be smart enough to get that.

[%Name starts reading the letter, then stops and starts anew.] What's this about? Did I get this right? This Francine Aldard wants to apologize to me? I can't recall one Francine Aldard offending me anyhow. Interesting. Hm... Francine Aldard... Yes, I think I remember the name. If my memory serves me right, this Francine Aldard oftentimes complained about nobody caring for her work, and asked for assistance.
