I guess I'll have to find someone else to protect me on my journey.

Heartless oaf!

You! Because you wouldn't help me get out of town, the Thieves Guild took my shop! Go away.

Stand aside, [your race]. [quest giver] is wanted by the Dark Brotherhood. You aren't such a fool as to try to protect [him/her], are you?
