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 the 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."
