He gave you WHAT? Why would you even think of tempting him with that? You've bankrupted this chapter! Well, you're an Arch-Mage. I hope you can explain this to your colleague in Almalexia yourself.

He gave you WHAT? Why would you even think of tempting him with that? You've bankrupted the chapter! Oh, what am I going to tell the Arch-Mage?

A truly magnificent addition to my collection. And a magnificent cuirass that you received as payment for it, if I may say so.

Please reconsider! That soul and that soul gem should belong to someone that can truly appreciate them.

Good, good, give it to me. Gently! Excellent. Dalyne will forgive me when she sees what I've acquired. Here's the gold, and the cuirass. Now please, leave so I can admire this.

What's this? Oh. Oh! This soul gem is... it's... beautiful! This isn't like anything I've ever seen before. And the soul inside! I don't say this lightly, but this is the most majestic soul I've ever seen. Please, I must have it. Let me open the guild coffers. I'll even give you the finest cuirass I've ever enchanted.
