Rukeewei held his hands up and almost recoiled back in surprise from Ariel's suggestion. "Wait, wait, you want [i]me[/i] to come along with you? All the way to Skyrim? All of this just seems so bizarre, so...insane. I mean, you're saying that you're friends with werewolves, and...crocodiles, and they want to take you away to a frozen, far-away land so you can earn a fortune making some kind of antidote. This all has to be a joke, right? A prank that you are all conspiring to play on me?"

Meesei shook her head. "I wish it were. If so, we would not have to face this danger that is always looming over us. The poison that I want Ariel to help cure, it rips our souls from our very bodies and sends them directly to the Daedra Clavicus Vile. It is a fate worse than death itself, and it is only because of the severity of the situation that I would even think of asking this of you and your family."
