I never want to hear of them again.

Yes, you have the letters. Take them to Vermilius Vendicci.

It seems you found the letters just fine on your own, thief.

The letters are in a little box in my bedroom downstairs. Take them. I cannot believe it has come to this...

Danger? How? Wait-- he means to harm me, doesn't he? By Dibella... I know that Vermilius was disappointed when I told him I wouldn't give him the letters back, but still... He would *really* send someone to hurt me unless I give back the letters? Alright. You can have them. They're in a little box in my bedroom downstairs. I'll give you the key. I'm done with that man. I want nothing to do with him anymore.

Indeed.

Do I need a reason? He wrote them for me. They are mine. Believe it or not, I'm not a cynical woman, and the letters have sentimental value to me. Besides, I believe it would do a world of good for dear Vermie not to always get his way. I don't think he's ever been told 'no' in his life before. He should experience it at least once. It builds character. I'm happy to help him that way.

You talked with dear Vermie? My word is not good enough for him. That is a shame. I thought he would've learned to trust me by now... But the answer is still no. He just has to live with it.

Vermilius Vendicci sent them to me in confidence and I'm not going to break that trust. I will not give them back to him, but I will not make them public either. He has my word. That should be enough. You go and tell him that.

I apologize, sera, but private letters are just that -- private.

You-- you-- told Vermilius Vendicci that I have the letters? Gods damn your stupidity! Now he'll want me to give them to him. Lady Vendicci is going to be furious.

Giving me the letters was the right thing to do.

You didn't give me the letters. A stupid choice, but what's done is done.

Those letters... I would have given you a lot of money for them. But you didn't even give me the chance to hear my proposal. It's useless now.

Yes.

Fine. I won't forget this, %PCName. And I'll make sure that lady Vendicci and the rest of the Vendicci family will know that you were the one who ruined their plans. Get out of my face.

You sure about that? I could just take them from you by force if I wanted to, you know, but I'd really appreciate if you cooperated.

Great. Lady Vendicci will be most pleased. Here's your pay. Now, you should report to mister Vendicci that the letters are gone and he doesn't need to worry.

Changed your mind? Gonna give me those letters now?

Lady Vendicci knows of her husband's unfaithfulness and has asked me to bring her the letters. Now, I know you're a skillful gal. I know you've probably found them, yeah? I need you to give them to me. You can spin some story for Vermilius Vendicci that they were already burned to ashes. How much they said they'd pay you? A thousand septims per letter? Lady Vendicci has given me a generous purse. I'll match their offer -- and you'll get a bonus of knowing you did the right thing. What do you say?

You've got the letters, don't you? Do the right thing and give them to me. Lady Vendicci has given me a generous purse. I'll pay you 3000 drakes for them.

Dervara Diron didn't deserve to die because of them.

We need to talk about Dervara Diron.

You gave the letters to Apisphagus Thryx? Well, if serjo Vendicci is content with that, it's good enough for me. Here's your pay. A thousand drakes per parchment. Thank you for your help. You are dismissed, %PCName. Though... one more thing... I don't think serjo Vendicci is quite ready to put this sorry matter behind him. Someone should probably speak with Dervara Diron.

The letters were already destroyed? And you made sure of it, did you? Well, if serjo Vendicci chooses to believe so, then it is so. Here's your pay. A thousand drakes per parchment should suffice. Thank you for your help. You are dismissed, %PCName. Though... one more thing... I don't think serjo Vendicci is quite ready to put this sorry matter behind him. Someone should probably speak with Dervara Diron.

You gave the letters to serjo Vendicci. Good. Here's your pay. A thousand drakes per parchment as it was agreed. I'm sure you understand that you will not be getting a receipt this time due to the nature of this job. Thank you for your help. You are dismissed, %PCName. Though... one more thing... I don't think serjo Vendicci is quite ready to put this sorry matter behind him. Someone should probably speak with Dervara Diron.

You have the letters? Very good. No, please, do not give them to me. I'd rather not know their exact contents. Give them to serjo Vendicci.

Yes, three letters to be precise, written and sent by serjo Vendicci to someone here in Bal Foyen. We are anxious to get them back. Currently, they are in the possession of Dervara Diron, their recipient.

Ahh... You did? Well, that's good. Thryx is a good man. Trustworthy. He won't read the letters. And hopefully you didn't either, right? Right. Talk to Vals about your reward. And what of Dervara Diron? Did you speak with her? What did she say?

They're gone? She'd already burned them or something? Good... I should've known that two-faced Diron was bluffing! Talk to Vals Varano about your reward.

They won't cause me trouble no more. Dervara Diron, on the other hand... I don't think I can trust her.

They won't cause me trouble no more. Dervara Diron, on the other hand... I don't think I can trust her.

I don't have a minute! I want them back. Now.

Damn it. Get to it! I want them back!

Good! Damn things. I never should've even touched a quill. You didn't read them, did you? Well, anyway, I'll get rid of them. Talk to Vals about your reward. And what of Dervara Diron? Did you speak with her? What did she say?

You found the letters, yes?

You found the letters, yes?

Look, just find them, okay? I'm a married man. There'll be trouble if I don't get them back. Vals Varano thinks that's enough to make the problem go away. Maybe he's right.

Yes, yes! The letters I wrote to, to-- gahh... I can't bear to talk about it! Damn it all! Talk to Vals Varano. He's saying he'll make the problem go away.
