For the first time, Areldril started to show some emotion, specifically sympathy, towards Lunise. "Believe me, Justicar Lunise, I have been in your shoes before. I was actually beginning to approach the truth on my own when I was elevated to the upper ranks of the Thalmor. They knew I would discover their intentions on my own eventually, but they felt that my education on the matter would lead me to accept their ideology. They were mistaken. I was a loyal follower of the Dominion before I learned all of this. I spent long nights trying to rationalize their intentions, trying to prove to myself that their plan would somehow result in our apotheosis, but I have found no proof to their claims. It has been difficult to openly serve them all these years, but I had to be patient. I had to bide my time until the right moment. I wish I could have stayed longer to gather more information, but my benefactors believed it was important for me to act right away. Their rules prevent them from acting directly to influence events in Tamriel, but they can act through agents like myself. I had to sacrifice much to deliver this message. As you know, I will be hunted to the end of my days, or to the end of the Thalmor's. Whichever may come first. You, of all people, should know that I did not make that sacrifice lightly. I am relying on you to ensure that sacrifice was for something, Lunise. You are currently the only active member of the Thalmor outside of their inner circle who is aware of their plans. For your own safety, make sure they never learn of this. If they do learn of what you now know, then you will disappear. No amount of loyal service will prevent them from killing anyone that could threaten their plans; my betrayal has guaranteed that. I would advise that you inform your superiors that you were unable to capture me. Your mother would be terribly cross with me if you were killed because of this." Areldril did not allow any time to dwell on what he had just said before fixating his attention back on Meesei. "Although, Justicar Lunise is not the only one who should be cautious. Not because of the Thalmor, but because of the lycan hunters that still demand your blood. From the reports I have been able to piece together, the Champion's pack is infamous among Vile's followers. You are a frightening rumor that their leaders have attempted to silence, but that does not mean they intended to ignore you. Their General determined that average soldiers or poison gas would not be sufficient against you, and I believe he has been working to form a team specifically to kill you. He did so secretly, hiding quite effectively from the eyes of your clans. But, I noticed some patterns in their communications that suggest he may be gathering individuals specifically to deal with you. I will admit, I cannot prove it with any degree of certainty. If I could, Lunise likely would have been instructed to inform you, but you may call it a...hunch."
