Will the Greybeards wait for me? I'm kinda busy looking for a wedding ring... that night's a little hazy to me.
Also, the wolf that has been terrorizing a certain Whiterun resident... will it still be causing trouble in a few months from now? Because honestly... I've got way bigger slaughterfish to fry.
Every jarl has some important task they're waiting on me for, but for once I'd like to blow it off and just have a nice day out hunting bears and stags with Lydia.

Will they all just wait for me?

edit: the reason I ask, is I notice each save is time stamped with the actual in-game month and time. Supposedly, I could 'wait' for years and years... would it make a difference to the prophecies?

yep, they have all the time in the world and will wait for you
