Assistant (Character)

Assistant is an Altmer in Summerset. Two of them can be found along with the Sapiarch at one of their possible locations.

Conversations
Upon encountering them:

Sapiarch: "Are you purposefully doing a poor job? Because I can come to no other conclusion!" OR "I expected more from you, even if you are a novice. What did I sponsor you for?"

Female Assistant: "This is absurd. No one can meet this standards, not even you!" OR "Oh sure, blame us! When you're the reason we're in this mess."

"Sorry, but I don't have time to chat. Not while the Sapiarch is watching me like a hawk."
 * What's goind on here? "The College is breathing down the Sapiarch's neck, so he's taking it out on us. And as a lowly assistant, I have no room to complain."
 * [Persuade] You shouldn't have to put up with that. "I have to agree, but where would I even go? It's always been my dream to become a Sapiarch. I've always been a scholar at heart, and a damn good one at that."
 * What about the Mages Guild? "Hmm. I never considered that, truth to be told. The Mages Guild is known to be filled with some of the greatest scholars in Tamriel. And I'm sure they'd treat me a lot better than this! You know, I think I will join them. Thank you!"
 * I can't help with that dilemma "But still, thanks for listening. Sometimes all you really need is a sympathetic ear."
 * Sounds like you should get back to work then. "If you are not going to be at least sympathetic, why even chat with me? Farewell, then."

If the female assistant was Persuaded to join the Mages Guild: Female Assistant: "To Oblivion with this work! I will take part in it no longer!"

Sapiarch: "What are you—wait! Return this instant!"
