These are some idle mutterings as well as conversation for the Saint Olms Tanners and Miners Hall for the Trader Nivos Drivam, the Commoner Noldrasi Bedas, and the Ordinator who stands guard there. First, Single lines for the Ordinator Ordinator- Need to get that left gauntlet repaired when I go off duty. I think I see a crack in it. Ordinator- I wonder what the plumes on these helmets come from. Never thought to ask before. Ordinator- Damn is this ever boring. Same thing every day. Almost wish somebody would try something. Ordinator- Can't wait till I get off duty. Ordinator- She's always here. Won't she ever make up her mind? Or is she here to see him? (Referring to Noldrasi Bedas) Single lines for Noldrasi Bedas Noldrasi- I don't know... Noldrasi- I've lost my coin Pur- oh wait, wrong pocket. Noldrasi- Hmm... Single lines for Nivos Drivam Nivos- Need a new supplier. I'll run out of glass at this rate. Nivos- Need to restock soon. Nivos- Could be worse, all things considered. Conversations Noldrasi- You know, you're the only merchant I know who deals in armor, but not weapons. You never did say why. Nivos- It... It's personal. Really, I wish you'd drop it. I can't, not... I just can't anymore... Not after that. Noldrasi- After what? Nivos- Nothing! I'm sorry. Look, have you made up your mind yet. Noldrasi- Still looking. You know, you'll have to tell me someday. Nivos- Sigh... You're the most stubborn woman I've ever met, and the least decisive. Noldrasi- What?! Nivos- Well it does seem like you spend all day here. Noldrasi- I'm just a careful buyer. Nivos- Yeah, sure. Noldrasi- Hmph. -- Noldrasi- I wonder if anyone has tried to make armor using ruby before. Nivos- I think I heard of an outlander that does, or has anyway. I forget his name, William... something. I can't remember. I don't know how someone would use it in armor myself, well except as an inlay of course. Noldrasi- It certainly would draw attention. Nivos- That much is certain. -- Noldrasi- You know the other day I heard someone from the Mages Guild talking about how over in Cyrodil someone is working on using gemstones in magic. Nivos- You mean for alchemy? That isn't anything new. Noldrasi- No no, he was talking about using gemstones to amplify spells. Geomancy I think he called it. Though I don't know how that would work really. Nivos- Huh... Well I don't know all that much about magic myself. Noldrasi- Neither do I, I was just reminded of it while I was looking at the gemstones. Of course suggestions for revisions or additions are always welcome.
