"Well, it could be a good paycheck. We don't really care much for the prestige, only the septims such a job offers... And with two more mouths to feed, we're gonna need it. Getting a reputation is a sure fire way to get ourselves killed or captured by Thalmor operatives... And that's a major no-no." Cronic said, folding his arms, but he made a mental note to get back at Aria later for that grin on her face.

"Plus, it'd be a good idea to remain in Balgruuf's good books. Connections in high places can save our skin when things go south." Cronic said, Serena pondering what to do as the two spoke. Eventually, she found her voice again.

"Maybe... Vengeance isn't something I can claim. The Thalmor are numerous, I am but one. I would probably end up dead before I got close to wiping them out completely." Serena said, a somewhat crestfallen look on her face at the realization.
