You approach the robed man, attempting to strike up a conversation. After introductions, you discover that this is in fact the enigmatic Lord Cromwell. However, he doesn't even look at you when he responds to your questions. It's clear that he has little interest in conversation. You decide to inquire about his profession.He sighs, in a rather annoyed manner.

"I am a scholar, pure and simple. I travel to across Tamriel, seeking lost ruins, researching ancient history and magic, and occasionally I come across a few interesting baubles that I sell to some overinterested noble or college."

"And your relationship with the Fortesias?" you ask, trying not to sound put off. "Are they another of your...uhm...clients?"

"As a matter of fact they are." he responds, not even sparing a glance in your direction.

"And what exactly is it that they have purchased from you?" you press.

At this, Cromwell finally shoots an icy glare at you. You decide it would not be best to push anymore, and leave Cromwell to himself.

Soon after, servants enter the parlor and begin collecting the refreshments that had been lain out for the guests. It seems dinner is almost ready, and they are cleaning up the appetizers. If you have anything important to do before then, you should do so soon.
