The Jarl is... tired. Be mindful of that.

Jarl Skald is upset over the loss of Dawnstar. I'll admit, it's less I have to worry about.

You should leave. Skald gets upset around Imperials.

I'm Skald's housecarl and head of his guard in Dawnstar.

My only aim is to keep the peace.

Skald is very... vocal about his hatred of the Empire.

The tenacity of the Imperial Legion is legendary. We need to be ready for them.

I served in the Great War against the Thalmor. I remember how bravely a Legionnaire can fight.

If we win. This war is going to drag on for years. I can feel it. We need to prepare for a long struggle ahead.

With respect, Jarl. You can't ask everyone to throw themselves against trained Legionnaires. Let's leave the fighting to the Stormcloaks.
