Lines Spoken by This Houseguest:
- "Beware of the dro-m'Athra, the Dancers in the Dark. They come in many guises and delight in tempting travelers from the Path."
- "The breath of Khenarthi carries many things through the world. Today it carries Tadali to this house. Tomorrow? Who can say?"
- "Children can be so disappointing, walker. They begin life as cute bundles of fur and fluff, but do not let them fool you. They are terrors waiting to grow up and make you regret every decision you ever made. Trust Tadali. She knows."
- "Clan Mother Tadali has heard that many of the furless cannot tell the difference between an Alfiq and a housecat. She is ... disappointed."
- "A comfortable enough dwelling for Tadali to visit. This one is pleased."
- "Do not be surprised that you think Clan Mother Tadali is wise. She is. You would do well to listen to this one. Clan Mother Tadali knows of what she speaks!"
- "Do you feel the breath of Khenarthi on your shoulders? She is blowing you somewhere else. Go now, so Tadali can get her beauty sleep."
- "Have you traveled much, walker? This one is curious what draws another to explore the width and breadth of Tamriel."
- "A High Elf once asked Tadali to shed her clothes to spy on our foes. Tadali told her she would be happy to do so if the High Elf did the same."
- "Hmm ... there must be a suitable ray of sunshine somewhere in this domicile. If you spot it, it's not for you. It is for Tadali, yes?"
- "I sense greatness in your spirit. You must have a bit of Alfiq in your blood, yes?"
- "If you attempt to pet this one or make silly noises at her, Clan Mother Tadali will teach you something about Khajiiti claw-dancing."
- "Keep your paws to yourself, walker. Never seek to pat an Alfiq without asking permission first."
- "Khenarthi smiles on those who wander. But she brings insight to those who sit and listen."
- "Listen to the wind, walker. Khenarthi has much to say, if you only pay attention."
- "Look away, please. This one does not care to groom herself while someone watches."
- "A Nord once asked Tadali why she wore such funny clothes. This one asked him the same question."
- "Some say there is foolishness in too much wisdom. This one can assure you, there is not."
- "Some trod the steps of the Bent Dance and do not know it. Do not let darkness rule your actions, walker."
- "Tadali has observed a few things since coming to this place. She has some small improvements in mind. This one will make you a list."
- "Tadali is small in stature, yes. But an Alfiq should be judged by the size of her spirit, not her claws. Though Tadali's claws are sharp, too. Would you care to see?"
- "Tadali never imagined she might learn something from her foolish cub Za'ji. But she admits Za'ji has taught her that travel serves a purpose. It has certainly improved this one's cub, yes?"
- "This one feels ... magnanimous. You may stroke her fur, if you wish."
- "This one hears whispers on the wind. You have done interesting things, walker. Interesting, indeed."
- "This one would not refuse a well-sweetened cake. If there was such a thing to be found here. And perhaps a bowl of milk, yes?"
- "What does Tadali need with thumbs? She has others to fumble and grasp at tools when she bids them to."
- "When Clan Mother Tadali speaks, you would be wise to listen. She is much older and more experienced than you."
- "When you see that lazy excuse for Tadali's son, Za'ji, tell him to write his mother. This one misses her cub."
- "While Khenarthi's Breath Temple is Clan Mother Tadali's home, she followed the breeze to this place. Why Khenarthi led this one here, Tadali has not yet determined. But she will. She will."
- "The world drowns in foolishness. Try not to add more to it, yes?"
- "You always seem to be in such a hurry, walker. Why does Khenarthi blow you from place to place like a leaf in the wind? Slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures. If you are unsure how, just follow Tadali's lead."
- "You know Tadali's cub, Za'ji? Is he still drinking too much? Traveling about with that Caska? Such a bad influence! Za'ji was such a good Khajiit once -- and then he turned three and it's been nothing but heartache ever since."
- "You will outgrow your foolishness, walker. You are still so very young."
