Well met, Yusuke Kitagawa. The Lady Margaery is a good friend of mine, tis true. I fear I was not there when the attack happened, if that is what you wish to know. But of the demon that names itself Caedra...
[ That deep voice lilts, the musical cadences of a storyteller, painting the picture clearly in the minds eye ]
But it used the blood and life for its sorceries - something like a necromancer, I think. It called up beasts from her own world, for no reason than because it could, I believe. The guard was roused, but Curufin and I got there faster. Ah! So see him fight again, after so long. My brother is poetry, dark and terrible, but they wounded him sore, for they had wings and he did not. The guard came to our aid then, but it sued for peace and they believed it. To my king then, I appealed, and the blood-right he did not refuse me, for blood of kin spilt and blood of one under our protection. My elder brother came with me, and we constrained it in it's den. It fought us, but it has never fought the like of Maedhros, fell he was that day, as he was on the battleplains so long ago, and it's magics I knew by then how to counter. It died for its folly, but death here is but an interruption and it returned. It knows to be careful, now.
[Yusuke listens quietly. It's quite the story, and perhaps he would like to learn more of he and his brother later. But for now, however, his voice hardens.]
You say it knows to be careful, but that did not stop it killing again in a great crowd of people, where none were able to prevent it. It may leave the queen in peace, but others around the city are not so fortunate.
I knew it would try again. More careful, clearly, but not enough to stop - not that anyone believed us when we asked permission to kill it at first. Something needs must be done, but my hands are tied. We recieved censure for going after it at all, if I do so again, for one not my own I will bring only trouble.
