That is very cool. I mean maybe the guards just make that comment around members of the Circle, but then again maybe not? Either way, Vilkas is quite the dragon slayer.
Then I must tell the tale of how Mr Tough Guy Vilkas turned into a complete wuss.
I did Dragon Seekers with him, and got that lair on the peak above Labyrinthian (Skyborn Altar I think). We were almost there when another dragon started circling above us, not yet attacking.
Suddenly I hear someone shouting for help. And didn't it sound like Vilkas...? I looked around, saw no one except Vilkas behind me. Well, I thought, that VA does like half of the male voices in Skyrim, so probably someone else is around here somewhere.
The dragon flew off, we started walking up towards Labyrinthian. I'm absolutely sure there was no one else but us around when the dragon returned.
"Help!"
What?
"Somebody slay the dragon!"
Definitely Vilkas.
Now WTF? YOU asked ME to seek out a dragon for you to slay, now I get you an extra dragon as a little warm-up before we meet the levelled one in the lair, and you turn into a complete coward?
Anyway, I don't remember the details, but we ended up in that little mining village nearby, Stonehills or something, where the dragon attacked for real, and then Vilkas finally remembered who he was and charged in as enthusiastic as usual. Afterwards, he was very surprised when I absorbed the dragon soul, which was kind of amusing, since one might have thought that a wife tells her husband some minor things about herself, like being Dragonborn and such.
