RulingsEdit

There is a ruling unique to Lydia:

<Co-Requester's First Name> keeps ordering me around, and telling me to carry their things. I'm not their servant![page]
Unacceptable, <Co-Requester's First Name>. Those things will be confiscated.
<Co-Requester's First Name>, please stop bothering Lydia.
Leave me out of this.

DialogueEdit

IdleEdit

  • I'm not carrying anyone's burden today.
  • I've heard of the mushroom towers of Morrowind. Wonder if I'll ever see one.
  • Being a housecarl isn't all it's cracked up to be.
  • They say the Blades have disbanded, but they're not all gone...
  • I wonder how things are going in Whiterun...

Are you the Dragonborn? Then no.
Ha ha, very funny.
No, I don't think so.
Are you jesting?
I swear to the Divines, if I hear this one more time...
Sure, as long as you carry mine!

Thirteen years, by my count.
