Alfred: “Damn it! How do they keep finding us?” Arthur: “It doesn’t matter; once we have what we came for, this will end.” Alfred: “I hope you’re right. I don’t know if I can stay sane for another year of this.”

Alfred: “WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MEAT! Artie will get mad if I don’t cook it all before eating it (he’s weird like that). He just went upstairs to put the book on the bedside table.”

[“Board the vessel Northern Maiden docked at Raven Rock. Take it to Windhelm, then begin your search. Kill the false Dragonborn known as Arthur before he reaches Solstheim. Return with word of your success and Miraak will be most pleased.”]

Arthur: "According to this letter (lifted from the remains of a most unfortunate pursuer), we’ll find our answers in Solstheim. I know little of the place, but...if it means ending this madness and getting on with our lives, then northward we must go.”

Arthur on the Summerset Isles, where he wakes up at the beginning of the 2E arc. The Three Banners War is raging in Tamriel, Daedra and Sload are wreaking havoc on the isles, and he has no idea where Alfred is. His first order of business: find the fiance, then get back to the 4E. Despite this, he finds rare occasions during which he can relax and admire cute things. Always with the soft spot for cute things. He’s feeding the Alinor Ringtail a few grapes he plucked off the many elven vineyards dotting the countryside...

“He hadn't shed a tear since that shameful night he'd woken from a nightmarish memory of Helgen and Alfred had been compassionate enough to give him company through it...

 Now, he couldn't stop the silent tears from flowing and he was alone again...”
