You walk into the alchemist's shop in Skingrad. At the counter, you see a dark elf woman with a small smile on her face. She greets you, resting her elbows on the countertop.

Hello there, welcome to All Things Alchemical. Me? I'm Falanu. House Hlaalu. As if that matters here.

She grabs a few potions and organizes them, placing them side by side.

I'm the only alchemist in Skingrad. Not much business here, but I can't go back to Morrowind. It's just like anywhere else in the Empire.

She looks around subtly, making sure you and her are alone before leaning in close, speaking in a hushed voice while making eye contact. Her red eyes seem a little anxious.

By the way... do you happen to know what the fine is here in Cyrodiil for... ah, "messing with" dead bodies? Just asking...
