[Lady Frost]Frost doesn't make any efforts to keep the grief from her voice, but there doesn't seem to be any tears on her icy face, though perhaps that's only due to the cold."I'm called Lady Frost.  We'd like to pay our respects to our friend, that is if you have a few words left in you Father.  His name was Osiris Blake.She slowly walked towards the rough monument, staring at it as if concentration could fix the events of the day.[/Lady Frost]
[Alex]Alex takes a deflated breath. Going through so much. Seems like almost everybody she knows dies.
"Thank you. I hope he had a good death." There is a stuffiness in her voice as if fighting back tears.
Pausing for a moment, "I am Alex Hawk, a simple wilderness scout."

In our land, and in this land of New Camelot, they are held in the highest esteem, and it seemed only proper to I and my companio that he be given a proper burial.  If he was a comrade of yours, then I extend my condolences."

We are searching for what happened to the lost company.  We found a few of their bodies, but not enough to account for them all, and among them we found the Cyberknight.  But this place, the Faeries have made it their own and it is not safe for those on two legs.  If you can help us, we would be most grateful."
