Arnitole's Happiness

Arnitole's Happiness is an aspect of a Breton mage named Arnitole found at the ruins of Silaseli. His emotions left him when he used an Ayleid dreamstate relic. If you don't use intimidation to make Happiness return to the mage, you will have to kill Buttons.

Dialogue
"Hello there! I'm so glad you came by! I think I'm about to make a new friend, and you know what that means?"
 * What does that mean? "I don't know about you, but when I make a new friend, I like to have a celebration! Buttons does too! Buttons and I are favorite friends, but there's always room for one more inside our circle of love, and you're invited! You want a quibble-cake?"
 * Where did Buttons come from? "Oh, my grandmother gave me Buttons as a pet when I was just a little boy! We were inseparable. When I was little, he carried me on his back, and when I got big, I carried him on my shoulder. Buttons is my favorite friend in all of Tamriel!"
 * [Intimidate] Pets are for old people and babies. "Hey! You … stop that! You're hurting Buttons' feelings! You're hurting my feelings too! I'm going back to Arnitole."

If you kill Buttons:

"No, no! Why would you kill Buttons? He just wanted to be your friend!"
 * It was necessary. You have to go back to Arnitole. "No more quibble cakes? Bah! Without Buttons, what's the point anyhow? I might as well just go back to the old grump! By the way, you're not invited to the friendship circle anymore, because there isn't one. I'm going back to Arnitole."
