==Dialogue==
Upon first meeting Clavicus:
Lord Vile, I have a request of you. "By all means, let's hear it. It's the least I could do, since you already helped me grant one final wish for my last worshippers... They were suffering so from vampirism, and begged me for a cure. Then you came in and ended their misery! I couldn't have planned it better myself. So, what's your heart's desire? What kind of deal can we strike?"
:I'm just here to reunite you with Barbas. "Ugh. That insufferable pup? Forget it. Request denied. No deal. I'm glad to be rid of him. Even if it does mean I'm stuck in this pitiful shrine, in the back end of... nowhere. Well... perhaps there is a way he could earn his place back at my side. Maybe. But no promises."
:An end to the civil war that plagues this land. "Oh, if I had my full power, granting that would be trivial. I'd simply snap my fingers, and everyone in Skyrim would die. War resolved. As much as I hate to say it, you're almost as powerful as I am right now. But that's just because half of my power resides in that mutt, Barbas. Come to think of it, I know of a win-win situation for both of us."
:The power to crush all before me! " As much as I hate to say it, you're almost as powerful as I am right now. But that's just because half of my power resides in that mutt, Barbas. Come to think of it, I know of a win-win situation for both of us."
::What's your offer? "There's an axe. An incredibly powerful axe. An axe powerful enough for me to have quite a bit of fun, indeed. If you bring it to me, I'll grant you my boon. No strings attached. No messy surprises. At least, not for you. As I recall, it's resting in Rimerock Burrow. Barbas can lead you right to it. The little mutt might even earn his place back at my side."
If approached again:
What did you want, again? "In Rimerock Burrow, there's an artifact called the Rueful Axe. Bring it to me, and I'll take Barbas back. Simple as that."
After obtaining the axe:
"Ah, you've got the axe! And my dog. Splendid."
:We're back. Now fulfill your end of the bargain. "Excellent work. A hero and faithful companion, retrieving the ancient artifact for the prince. It's almost... storybook. Ah, but it almost seems a shame to give a weapon like that away, doesn't it? I suppose I could be persuaded to let you keep it... But only if you use the axe to kill Barbas. Simple as that."
::I sure would like to keep this axe... "And I could absorb the spirit of poor, dead Barbas. He'd still be reunited with me. And I'm sure Barbas doesn't want me to have that axe. He'd want it this way. The choice is yours, friend. We're all counting on you to make the right decision. Put him out of our misery!"
::No deal. Take the axe and take back Barbas! "Hrmph. You're no fun at all. Guess I'll have to make my own fun elsewhere. And with the pup back, I'll be restored to my full power. There's a whole world just waiting for me!"
If told to kill Barbas, and approached again:
I've been thinking it over... "And?"
After killing Barbas:
He's dead. Are we done here? "Absolutely! Now I can reabsorb his body, and return to full power. All without having to listen to his whining. Oh, sure, he'll be back in a century or two, but think of the fun I can have 'til then. Enjoy that axe! And don't worry about poor old Barbas. After all, he really should have picked a better friend..."
==Conversations==
;Barbas's survival
Barbas: "I knew I could trust you!"
Shrine to Clavicus Vile: "Yeah, yeah, dog gets master, master gets cosmic axe, everyone's happy. Just get over here, mutt."
Barbas: "Don't worry, I'll make sure he sees the light. I trusted you, now you trust me."
[If told that reuniting Barbas with Vile was the desired wish]
Shrine to Clavicus Vile: "Ah, that feels so much better! You forget how nice supreme power feels until you've been stuck in a cave for a few years. It's a shame you wished for something so dull as me taking back the mutt. Quite the lack of imagination on your part. A lack of ambition like that really ought to be punished. Perhaps by turning you into a worm, or a few decades of... Oh, fine. Have my boon and be done with it. I've got more interesting deals to make, anyway."
[If told that ending the civil war was the desired wish]
Shrine to Clavicus Vile: "Ah, that feels so much better! You forget how nice supreme power feels until you've been stuck in a cave for a few years. Now, as for your wish... An end to the war, was it? I'll make sure this war ends, all right. Just as soon as the dragons swarm across Skyrim and wipe out all of you puny... Oh, fine. Have my boon and be done with it. I've got more interesting deals to make, anyway."
[If told that power was the desired wish]
Shrine to Clavicus Vile: "Ah, that feels so much better! You forget how nice supreme power feels until you've been stuck in a cave for a few years. Now, as for your wish... Power, was it? You can be part of a tremendous power - all you have to do is let your soul be absorbed by this axe. I never said it would be your power... Oh, fine. Have my boon and be done with it. I've got more interesting deals to make, anyway."
