...will having a romantic relationship, having children together in the end?

Well, they are a long lost friends, finally meet with each other, and they both live in a secret place far from peoples, a man and a woman, alone....

Nope.

Why not? I always see them like a perfect couple...

Even Esbern wouldn't stoop so low. The man still got brains after all

Esbern is close to 80 years old and has Erectile Dysfunction...

Their relationship seems to be entirely platonic.

If Esbern is a pedophile and likes to be bossed around, and Delphine doesn't feel any need for sixual intercourse; maybe. Also, they're not long lost friends. They're just two people from the same organization who were reunited. For all we know, they could've hated each other's guts back in the days, but are now simply tolerating each other because they have to. Being in the same organization =/= best friends.

Besides, I still have to meet the female side of Delphine, aside from her b.itchy personality.

lol the very thought of them together makes me think of that song by Kanye West.. you know the one that goes "cos I ain't sayin she a gold digger"

They were and still are friends. Delphine is also old (60+ I think) so Esbern wouldn't be a pedophile.

I very much doubt it. Besides, Delphine is a little too old to have kids, don't you think?

60? I'd estimated it to be between 40 and 50. Hence why I'd thought he could've been her father in comparison.

It's medieval, there is no such thing as pedo in medieval

Esbern know how to make potion from dragon, sure he could make one for his virility, dragons are immortal isn't it...?

Other than the 3 recruits, they are the only Blades in Skyrim, there is no organization, so they maybe going liberal along the way and not so stiff with "no rromance in the same office" thing....Esbern is a lonely guy, who know how long he being in the room at Rat Way, and Delphine a spirited woman yet she's single, maybe they will going in love and decided to settle down having kids....

If that were to happen, Delphine would have the pants between those two. Esbern would be bosses around.

Thank you, people. Now I'll never get this image out of my head.

My poor brain!

To be honest, I always saw them as just deeply good friends and comrades who respected each other, and understood each other (as, y'know, they both survived the Thalmor purging of the Blades). I don't see anything that suggests that they have any romantic feelings between each other.

I feel they do have romantic feeling with each other, maybe it just me, in Season Unending

Ulfric: Is he with you, Delphine? If so, I advise you to tell him to watch his tongue.

Delphine: He is with me. And I advise you both to listen to what he has to say, before you do anything rash.

I think it is more than mutual friendship...

Ulfric: Is he related in any way to you Delphine?
Delphine: I approve of his existence here

Is the translation of that dialogue

If the Great War was 30 years ago, and Blades are an organization which requires some experience to get in, I'd say ol' Dolly is about 55, making her 25 at the time of the war.

I kind of doubt she's good enough by age 25 to avoid the Thalmor.

I'd say she's about 28-30 by the time Thalmor won

wat

Mind blowing how some people think.

you are completely misinterpreting that dialogue...

If I went to a meeting this afternoon, and I decided to bring my Intern, the group i am meeting with would likely ask "is he with you?", as they would have no idea who he is or why i brought him...

there is nothing that suggests a romantic relationship in that sentence...

speaking of which... I DO have a meeting to go to...

'The [censored]?

What.
