:"I will pay whatever you require. Just help me. I will give anything to get her back."
:Get who back?
:''"Pariel, my bold, brave, beloved Pariel. My wife. The Wood Orcs captured us. They did unspeakable things …. They were going to kill me. She couldn't watch me die. She killed them all, but now she's missing."
:How did she manage to escape? How did you get free?
:"Pariel … broke our pact with Y'ffre. She called upon Hircine, Master of the Hunt. He changed her. Now, by Y'ffre's command, I must end her before she hurts others. She fled into these caves. She knows my scent. I can't get close."
:Very well. I'll look for her.
:"She is not in her right mind, filled with rage at our treatment. Please, if she comes at you … subdue her, don't kill her."
:You're going to kill your own wife?
::"I have no choice! What Pariel did goes against the Green Pact. She made herself into a monster, and she can never change back. I cannot let her wander unchecked or slaughter others. I owe her that."
:How do I track your wife?
::"As any hunter would. Look for signs in the cave—a broken stalk here, trampled ground there. Anything to show recent passage."
:You said Hircine "changed" Pariel?
::"Yes. The story is, the Bosmer received their form from Y'ffre. It symbolizes a break from our wild nature. Pariel called upon the Master of the Hunt. She gave into her wild nature and slaughtered the Orcs. She did it to save me."
::What exactly is Pariel now?
::"I don't know. The change was not instantaneous—it was wild, fast, brutal. The Wood Orcs were unrecognizable when she was done. But she's my wife. I can't let her suffer."

You will find and try to subdue Pariel, only to have her run off injured. Thonoras will join you, distraught over your treatment of his beloved:
:"She is wounded! Did you hurt her?"
:She attacked me. I subdued her, as you asked.
:"Subdued … yes, I see. I'm sorry. Now, please, leave us. I left my pack at the mouth of the cave. Inside is all the gold I have—all yours."
:Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?
:"I'm sorry. I was desperate for help. Desperate enough to color the truth. Pariel did this, sacrificed herself, to save me. How can Y'ffre ask me to kill her? I love her! I can't slaughter her like a common wolf."
:Then why have me track her down?
:"This is the only way we can be together. I will pray to Hircine and hunt beside my wife for the rest of our days. Now please, leave us. This is between Hircine and myself."
: 
::"Thanks for understanding. After I change, Pariel and I will leave this cave and go deep into Valenwood. But you should go - I don't know that I'll be able to control myself during the transformation."
: 
::"Don't use my wife's sacrifice to lecture me. Someday, you will love someone half as much as I love Pariel. Then you'll understand why I can't kill her."
::[Persuade] You cannot violate the Green Pact. This is wrong.
::"Damn it all! Why me? Why is this burden on me? Pariel, oh Pariel. I'm so, so sorry, but they're right. I'm so sorry."
::Do what must be done, Thonoras.

:"Peace, my love. It will all be over soon."
He will then finish her off.
:"Forgive me."

If you talk to him before leaving:
:"I have done as you asked, as I knew I must. Now leave me to my grief! Please."

If you instead let him choose to join her:
::Very well. I'll leave you to your ritual.
:: 
::"You must leave now. What transpires next is between Hircine and myself. Thank you."''
