When first speaking to her:
"You're not one of the regulars here at the Flagon."
:Your father sent me to help you. "I can do this. I can resist the mead. For my Gamirth. Father sent you? Good, I can use the help. The mead is enchanted. It muddles our minds and clouds our memories. But I may have found a way to purify the mead and stop the cravings it inspires."
::What can I do? "I need a rare magical flower, Kyne's Tear, to make a potion. Unfortunately, the flowers are invisible. You need a Kyne runestone to see them. There may be a runestone at the nearby abandoned shrine."
:::I found this letter. I think it's for you. "I knew Gamirth was gone, but … this makes it so much more final. He worked so tirelessly to find a way to end this enchantment. I'm determined to finish what we started."
::::Why are you all here in Coldharbour? "Gamirth believed it had something to do with a Daedric Prince and a bad bargain. If that's true, we never figured out who struck the deal. All I'm certain of is that the mead is delicious and it never runs out. And drinking it has cost us our souls."
:::::Do you just stay within the tavern? "Yes. We stay inside and drink. We have no souls. We were afraid to die in this godforsaken place. Nords without souls aren't welcome in Sovngarde, you know. The Thane does what he can to keep us happy, usually by opening another cask of mead."
::::::You and your father seem less drunk than the others. "I've been fighting the craving, trying to find a way to break the spell. I want to save my father and the villagers, if I can. As for my father—he was always a strong man. The mead never seemed to affect him the way it got to the rest of us."
:::::You have no souls? "Not a one in the whole place. Some of us shrivel up and turn into the creatures outside. Others run off to die, like my Gamirth did. The rest of us drink. I abstain from the mead for a while, try to remember the old days. Then the craving returns."
:::::How do I find Kyne's Tears again? "The flowers grow around the trees near the lake, but they only reveal themselves to someone who carries a runestone of Kyne. There's a deserted shrine to Kyne not far from here. You should be able to find a runestone there."
After retrieving the flowers:
"You came back. I was afraid I'd imagined our earlier discussion. My mind plays tricks on me. Especially when the craving gets really bad."
:I found the flowers you asked for. "I wasn't sure any of the flowers survived the trip here. Coldharbour is a dead place and Kyne is concerned with living things. If you found the flowers, maybe she hasn't abandoned us. I'll make the purifying potion now."
::Here you go.
After Bernt confesses:
"Look what my father's selfishness has cost us! How could he have been so foolish?"
:Do you think you can forgive your father? "That's asking a lot of me. My father always seemed more … aware. I sometimes wondered if he knew more than he let on. But to have caused all of this suffering? My poor Gamirth!"
::You need to forgive Bernt. He's the only family you have left. "I know. I keep thinking about how kind he could be. Always helping others. He did something terribly foolish, but I know he is not a bad man. I'll try to forgive him. But I do wish we could leave this place."
:::The Hollow City is safe. You should go there. "We will go to the Hollow City. Some of the villagers may decide to stay here, where it's familiar, but that will be their choice. I grieve for the lost, but it's not in a Nord's nature to just give up. Thank you for helping us."
::Bernt needs to be punished. He can remain here. 
==Conversations==
===Special Blend===
After the Vestige tells Bernt to confess:
Bernt the Brittle: "Nelhilda, please come here."
Nelhilda: "What is it, father?"
Bernt the Brittle: "I need to get this off my chest. I made the deal that doomed us. I made the bargain with the Daedric Prince."
Nelhilda: "Father! Why would you do such a thing? I lost my love to this cursed place because you weren't selling enough mead?"
"How can I ever forgive you for this? I never want to see you again!"
Bernt the Brittle: "Nelhilda was the only thing that kept me sane in this dread place. What will I do now?"
"I beg of you, daughter. Try to forgive me. What I did was a foolish mistake. I never imagined anyone else would be at risk."
Nelhilda: "I don't know what to do. I'm so angry at him … and yet … my father is all I have left."
After finishing the quest, if the Vestige convinced Nelhilda to forgive Bernt:
Nelhilda: "I think I can forgive you, father, though it may take time. For now, it's best if we leave this place."
Bernt the Brittle: "Oh, my dear girl. I will do everything in my power to make this up to you and to the others."
Nelhilda: "Listen, everyone! We're going to the Hollow City! Join us! We're Nords and we can handle whatever Coldharbour throws our way!"
"Come, father. We need to make plans to travel to the Hollow City."
