Dialogue
When spoken to:
:''"Don't forget my name. Someday, everyone will be saying it."
:"If you ask me, this damned rebellion can't end soon enough. I had to end my tour of Skyrim's courts. Too dangerous to travel."
:"It's been my honor to perform at the Blue Palace on many occasions. His late lordship was quite the admirer."
:"Now you can say you've met the most talented bard in all of Skyrim."
:"To be honest, I can't stand some of my students. Only Aia shows potential for greatness. The rest are just wasting my time."

Pantea can be overheard in several conversations with students and the headmaster:

:Pantea: "You there, have you performed your voice exercises today?"
:Aia: "Always! Perfection takes dedication, after all!"
:Pantea: "Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all."

:Pantea: "Your performance has been excellent lately Aia. You still need training but one day you will make an adequate singer."
:Aia: "Yes, Dean. Thank you."

:Pantea: "You there, have you performed your voice exercises today?"
:Jorn: "Yes, Lady Ateia. My voice is strong as a Dragonborn's!"
:Pantea: "Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all."

:Pantea: "You there, have you performed your voice exercises today?"
:Illdi: "Yes, madam. I know I have a lot to work on."
:Pantea: "Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all."

:Viarmo: "How are your students coming along?"
:Pantea: "Passably. Aia is my star pupil; none of the others can hold a candle to her, especially not that wretched Illdi."
:Viarmo: "Try not to play favorites, Lady Ateia. It does a disservice to the whole class."
:Pantea: "Yes, Headmaster."''

Pantea's Flute
"That damn fool! I should ring her neck!"
:'''Who's neck is that?
:"Larina. That fool student of mine stole my flute and sold it to some necromancer. I just got a ransom note for it. That flute has been handed down for seventeen generations! Well don't just stand there. Go get my flute!"
:Why would a necromancer want your flute?
:"Apparently Larina told him some story about the flute being able to make the dead dance. It's just a flute. A really old and valuable flute, but just a flute."

Once the flute is recovered:
:I recovered your flute.
:"That's it! Wonderful! I knew I could count on you. I don't have any money to give you. But I can show you a few tricks I learned playing for the Winterhold wizards."

Bound Until Death
She can be found singing at the wedding and can be spoken to:
:"If you want my opinion, I think they should have paid for an entire quartet. Plenty of bards at the College would have loved the opportunity."
:Having a good time?
:"I am, thank you. I do so enjoy singing at weddings. It's just one of the many duties we at the Bards College are called upon to perform."

:"Ahem. Mi mi mi mi. Pardon me. Just, um, warming up. Never know when I may be called upon for a ballad."

Once Vittoria Vici is murdered:
:"I just came to sing! This is a horror show!"
:"The bride has been murdered! Somebody help!"''
