When they catch a criminal, Khajiit guards will have various things to say. Depending on the choice you make, you will also overhear them comment on said choice:
Female KhajiitEdit
If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.
- "Stop right there!"
- "Halt walker!"
- "This one says halt!"
- "This one orders you to stop!"
- "Desist, criminal!"
They'll accost you when they catch up to you.
- "How does this sound? Hand over your gold and this one crosses your name off her list."
- "Don't bother running. I have ways of finding you. Best to pay the bounty now."
- "Evil deeds always come back to haunt you. This bounty is the least of your worries."
- "This one fears no lawbreaker. Justice always prevails. No, you must pay your bounty."
- "The path to redemption is open to you. Simply pay the bounty."
- "I mean you no harm. But if you refuse to pay the bounty for your crimes, this one must fight you."
- "Try to run, clawless one. I dare you!"
- "This does not need to escalate. Simply pay the bounty and you'll go free."
- "You were bad, so now you must pay, yes?"
- "I would look the other way, but I am bored and in need of amusement."
- "This one does not mind a little mayhem every now and then, but you should never leave witnesses."
- "You were caught with your hand in the moon-sugar jar again, weren't you?"
- "This one has caught you. Pay your fine. Or don't. I could use the exercise."
- "You lack the characteristics of the degenerate. Nevertheless, you are guilty. Pay the bounty."
- "So tell me, walker. Do you feel that luck is on your side or will you pay your fine?"
- "Justice is impersonal. You committed a crime. Now you must pay the bounty."
- "This one loves the scent of crime almost as much as she likes collecting bounties."
- "This one knows how you suffer, always on the run. Pay your bounty and this can all be over."
- "Every action has a consequence. Your actions require payment in full."
- "Always good to meet a colleague, even if we work on opposite sides of the law."
- "By order of the law, pay your bounty!"
- "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the guard who will be collecting your bounty, yes?"
- "This one likes dealing with the lawless types. Pay your bounty and then we can discuss your punishment, yes?"
- "We have business, you and I. Intimate business. And there's also that matter of your bounty ...."
- "Though the criminal mind is rarely rational, I'm sure you can comprehend the value in paying promptly."
- "Desist at once from your criminal acts! Pay the bounty or face the decisive claws of justice."
- "The criminal is a volatile element in the alembic of justic. Now, to extract a bounty."
- "I am the law in this place and you will pay the bounty for your crimes."
- "This one would like to get to know you better. A lot better. But first, your bounty."
- "Stop what you're doing and pay the fine."
- "This one detests being a hagraven, but you do have a bounty hanging over your head. Will you pay?"
- "Surrender and pay your fine, if you please, and this one will not beat you until you bleed."
- "Decorum, attentiveness, and good manners––these cornerstones of civilizations demand you pay your bounty."
- "This one is pleased to meet such a distinguished scoundrel. Will you pay your bounty now?"
- "Pay the bounty or meet your end. Very painful ... much folding."
- "I enjoy a good chase, but did you consider what happens next? Let's collect the bounty and find out, yes?"
- "Lucky for you, this one likes to toy with her prey. After I collect your bounty, of course."
- "This one sees how you look at her. But we are from different worlds. It would never work out. Pity."
- "You've been caught committing crimes against society. You will pay the bounty."
- "Good citizen, this one insists that you surrender and make restitution for your crimes."
- "Do not attempt to flee. If you refuse to pay the bounty, I will use force."
- "This one wonders, will you pay your bounty or will you die?"
- "This one has a thing for criminals. That's why I got into this line of work. But I still need to collect your bounty."
- "Guilty? Innocent? This one couldn't care less. I'm just here to collect your bounty."
- "For many, the bounty is the warning they need that their life has gone awry. I hope it's the same for you."
- "The criminal's dilemma is easily resolved. Pay the bounty and live to defy the law another day."
- "I don't hold your malformed sense of morality against you, but I'm afraid you must pay a fine."
- "The criminal mind rarely learns--justice always comes calling."
If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.
- [Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.
- "I knew you'd come around."
- "A predictable result."
- "The law forgives you, my friend!"
- "Sufficient."
- "You are right in this one's laws."
- "The law accepts your restitution, friend."
- "This one always collects her bounties."
- "I hope that was good for you, too."
- [Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.
- "I'm in a generous mood. You can go."
If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.
- [Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.
- "If that is your wish."
- "It is unwise to flee!"
- "So you really want to play hard to get?"
- "This one won't warn you again, criminal!"
- "I challenge you criminal!"
- "Very well. Pain it is!"
- "Guards! To me!"
- "The criminal is a boundless enigma!"
- "Don't you dare run from me!"
- "I love it when they try to run!"
- "This one hates rejection!"
- "A puzzling tactical choice!"
- "This one expected you to do that!"
- "Don't say that this one didn't warn you!"
Male KhajiitEdit

- "Wait right there."
- "Desist, criminal!"
- "Stop at once!"
- "This one says stop!"
They'll accost you when they catch up to you.
- "Don't test this one. Pay the bounty."
- "Halt, walker. It seems that your crimes have caught up with you. Time to pay the fine, yes?"
- "You have a bounty to pay. This one takes it straight to the guard commander. Promise!"
- "A bounty has been placed on your person in accordance with local law. This one is here to demand payment."

- "You don't look violent. That's good, as this one prefers to deal with civilized scoundrels."
- "Payment would be an acceptable alternative to fighting, yes?"
- "Guilty? Who am I to judge? But I must insist you pay your bounty, if you would be so kind."
- "My voice does not quaver. Well, perhaps a little. Still, this one must ask. Will you pay your bounty?"
- "This one apologizes in advance, but the question must be asked. Will you pay your bounty?"
- "This one has caught you? I mean, this one has caught you! Will you pay your bounty now?"
- "This one smells fear. Oh, wait. That is me. Well, at least one of us has the proper attitude."
- "I hope you reach for coin, and not a weapon. Paying the bounty is much easier."
- "Your crime spree is over, walker. Pay the fine or face the consequences. There will be no second warning."
- "The moons have gifted this one with sharp eyes and fast feet, yes? You are caught, you dungy fool."
- "This one has decide he doesn't want you to pay your fine. Resist so that I can hurt you very badly."
- "Pay your bounty or give this one a reason to hurt you. Perhaps this one needs no reason, yes?"

- "This one thinks you ugly and stupid, like all muskarse criminals."
- "Why do all the dungiest criminals come out on this one's watch? Make this quick and be on your way."

- "Pay your bounty, corrupt one. Or refuse, if you prefer, so I can gut you like a fish."
- "In the name of the law, this one demands your swift and peaceful compliance."
- "This one is a guard, truly! Look at my fancy uniform! So hand over your bounty or ... uhm ... justice!"
- "Dark moons and dull claws! This one is so tired of confronting criminals! Pay your gold and go away."
- "Please don't make this one get his fur dirty! Not for one so pathetic as you. Just pay your bounty."
- "There is no gold in my hand, outlaw. Why is that, I wonder. Must I show you the anger of the law?"
- "Yet another criminal who dares to cross this one's path? Pay your bounty, you dungy coward."
- "Do you know what happened to the last criminal I dealt with? Not even the healer could help him!"
- "This one has come to collect your bounty walker. Resist at your own peril."
- "Pay your bounty, you skeever-faced culprit, or I'll flay the skin from your bones!"
- "You think you're so smart, yes? Not smart enough, it seems. Come now, make this easier for everyone."
- "This one believes you should be punished, since you were stupid enough to get caught."
- "If not for poor choices, this one thinks you would never make decisions. Pay up, yes?"
- "Run like a frightened skeever or pay up like a five-clawed warrior. Your choice."
- "Come, fragrant one. You know you'd much rather deal with me than with one of the other guards."
- "You know you did it, I know you did it. Even the moons know you did it! So give me your bounty."
- "It is better to claim bounties than pay them, yes? This one would know."
- "This one hears the jingle of ill-gotten gains in your purse! I love dirty gold! And justice. Yes."
- "You transgressions have been noted and a bounty has been assessed. Pay now and you are free to go."
- "You owe a bounty. No running."
- "Do not make this one do something rash. I have already hidden one body this week."
- "As long as you retain your criminal standing, the law allows me to be as mean and unfair as I want."
- "This one loves it when they refuse to pay the bounty. I keep my claws sharp for just such occasions!"
- "This one knows who you are. All the guards do. Your only chance is to pay your bounty."
- "Pay your bounty or I break your legs. Maybe an arm, if you cause me trouble."
- "I'm not responsible for accidents that happen to those who won't pay their bounty."
- "Your crimes are known, and the law dictates you liable for damages. This one is here to collect."
- "It is this one's duty to demand payment in accordance with local and regional statutes."
- "This one knows that crime tastes sugar-sweet. But only when you are not caught, yes?"
- "This one loves justice. And gold. Lucky me, I will claim both!"
- "Pay me your bounty, walker. This one will put it to good use by ... uhm ... giving it to the poor. Yes."

- [Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.
- "Blegh. Your excuse smells as bad as your boots. Just go away."
- "Leave now before I get angry."
- "Go away now, smelly one!"
- "That was a silly excuse, but I'll let you go with a warning."
- "This one is glad we've cleared it out. Move along, citizen."
- "Get out of here before I decide to triple your bounty."
If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.
- [Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.
- "If that is your wish."
- "Not another step!"
- "Where do you run, dung-eater?"
- "You would like to fight? So be it?"
- "I don't want to chase you!"
- "Why wouldn't you surrender?"
- "That was not a request!"
- "This one hoped you'd refuse!"
- "Was I not clear? Surrender!"
- "I said halt, you accused!"
- "I hoped you wouldn't listen to reason!"
- "No surrender? Then let us dance!"
- "Another rat to be rid of, then!"
- "Smelly and stupid? So be it!"
- "Violence? My second favorite activity!"
- "Then I'm obliged to use force!"
- "You will pay dearly for that!"
- "This one hoped you'd refuse!"
- "There's nowhere you can hide from me!"
- "Don't say this one didn't warn you!"
