Introduction[]
"I... I don't want to talk."

- But you're talking right now. "I shouldn't be. Mama says if I do, people are going to ask about uncle Roggvir."
"Maybe if I don't talk, they won't either."
- I'm sorry about your uncle. "Thanks. Papa talks about it some. Mum doesn't say much since Uncle Roggvir died. She doesn't even go to Temple anymore. I wish she would. At least that way she'd have people to talk to."
- You may just have to give her time. "Yeah, that's what papa says too."
- Maybe I could convince her. "You would do that? That's great. You should go do it right now."

Conversations[]
Roggvir's execution[]
Svari: "They can't hurt uncle Roggvir. Tell them he didn't do it." Aldis: "Positions." Addvar: "Svari, you need to go home. Go home and stay there until your mother comes." Aldis: "Lock the city gate." Vivienne: "You should tell her that her uncle is scum that betrayed his High King. Best she know now, Addvar." Addvar: "You're all heart, Vivienne." Aldis: "Roggvir. You helped Ulfric Stormcloak escape this city after he murdered High King Torygg. By opening that gate for Ulfric you betrayed the people of Solitude." Beirand: "Traitor!" Sorex: "He doesn't deserve to speak!" Roggvir: "There was no murder! Ulfric challenged Torygg. He beat the High King in fair combat." Taarie: "Liar!" Roggvir: "Such as our way! Such as the ancient custom of Skyrim, and all Nords!" Jala: "Booooo." Sorex: "Booooo." Vivienne: "Cut 'em down!" Taarie: "Booooo." Aldis: "Guard. Prepare the prisoner." Roggvir: "I don't need your help." Aldis: "Very well, Roggvir. Bow your head." Roggvir: "On this day... I go to Sovngarde."
Addvar and Greta[]
Addvar: "Svari, Jala said you stole an apple from her cart yesterday. Is this true?" Svari: "Just a little one! I was hungry!" Greta: "I'll talk with Jala, dear. I'm sure she'll accept a potato as repayment." Addvar: "I suppose. But Svari, we don't steal. We're better than that. Understand?" Svari: "Yes, papa."
Greta: "Eat up, Svari." Svari: "Fish? Again?" or "Potatoes? Again?" Addvar: "It's all we've got for today. Don't be greedy." Greta: "Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow." Addvar: "We'll make it, Greta. We always have so far..."
