[Standing on the edge of Nimh Gleanne, Lancelot held his locket with a cool hand. Rather than brimming with rage, he kept a demeanor closer to ice. He didn't say very much, but it wasn't as if he were going to have to.]

I will pay great sums. I will reward those who give me good information and those who cement any suspicion for me.

[His voice was as passive as could be.]

I desire the necks of those who have tortured and killed the fae of this world. Cathraon's safe haven has been annihilated.

I do not care which banner the offenders wear. I will kill them and their kin. If the perpetrators bear shards, I will present those bloody trophies to the fae in recompense, whether or not I am torn from this court or not.

I suggest all information come to me with great urgency and haste. I will only remain reasonable a short while. Direct your information to me directly through this locket. I am the Knightslayer--Lancelot of the Lake.

[ A little too contained in Alice's opinion, but she will will worry about that later. ]

Does it have to be torture? Surely there's other ways to gain information and it would be better if you were to cleanly kill them.

[ And maybe she's a little too casual having this conversation. OH, WELL. ]

Come to think of it, would there be anyone or anything in that area who would have seen anything strange?

It's entirely likely that no one would have seen it. Cathraon's nymphs and dryads weren't easy prey--they were capable enough of scaring hunters and loggers. Suffice to say, no one would have normally been able to approach.

[An attack from the air? Perhaps a poison set in the forest.]

The method aside, I've already decided on what I would like to do. Without a doubt, I cannot let those who have committed these acts to perish in peace.

As you shouldn't.

[ Concern aside, Alice would focus attention on helping him figure out what happened. ]

Please, tell me how I can help.

You need not worry, my love. Your attention and your affection will make me patient. In time, we will find the culprits and punish them accordingly.

[As sweet as silk.]

[ Alice is gaping -- it is going to take some time to adjust to this. Good grief. Give her a moment to recollect herself. ]

Well, I'm more than happy to.

[ Is it a little disconcerting that she's ready to fall back on a hunt? ]

Idle hands and all of that.

[He knows. He knows and he's not going to relent.]

I'm thankful.

[Lancelot added--]

Oh, right. Could you give me a measurement of your forearm and the middle of your arms, by the way? I'm going to prepare something for you.

You're endearing when you're content.

[ Isn't being sarcastic, either. One of these days, she'll be able to verbalize her feelings. For now, not so much. ]

Ah? The width or the length? What are you preparing, Lancelot?
