"Yeah, neither of those is me."

"A confident woman."

"I've spent too damn long fighting to worry about second-guessing myself."

"You do well."

"We will find you when the contract is complete."

"I'll be going back to Windhelm. Try not to kill any of my guards."

"Of course."

"Thanks."

She'll let the assassin leave first.

She does so, signaling Birgitta to fall in with her. 

Back outside. She waits until they're out of earshot before asking how things went.

"Well," she says, then summarizes the conversation and their mission.

"Ah. One of the political ones."

"Always fun."

"Hope it doesn't get too complicated."

"It probably will."

"Yeah. We should check in with Astrid, she usually wants to be kept ahead of this kind of mission."

"She'll likely have more information and resources for us, too."

"We'll need it, going after the Thalmor."

"Especially someone high ranked, where the Stormcloaks haven't gotten much about her past..."

She nods.

"Any stops you want to make on the way?"

"A few... I want to do our own reconnaissance, too, and a good place to start will be recruiting our own agents - I have connections in the Thieves' Guild, though they've been fragmenting into separate cells lately... But they're usually a good source for informants, at least."

"Thieves're strongest in Riften, of Skyrim cities."

"Then we'll go there."

"At your command."

"Good girl."

And: "Transform."
