A man quickly limped out of the tree-line and up to the monster, surprisingly quickly in fact. She could also tell he was armed, but since he was heading straight towards the creature and no-one else she didn't raise any sort of alarm. Despite wearing a hood, the man was obviously old thought you wouldn't know that by looking at his frame. In fact despite his age he was still fairly well built, with broad shoulders and still a head taller than Alice. His voice affirmed his wizened state though, as it cracked passed his lips. 

[b]"That was simply astounding! Watching that battle was a remarkable memory to be obtained, if I do say so myself, heck it even reminded me of when I was your age, adventurin' and killin' beasts very much like this one."[/b] Alice was taken aback, it wasn't often you saw an old adventurer. Well, at least one who isn't an elf or Dwarf. Though there was no doubt that if anyone was an old adventurer, it was this man. [b]"Yeah... I reckon it was about as big as this, maybe a bit bigger, and what it did was even worse, I'll tell ya', but I'm gettin' a bit ahead of myself for right now."[/b] He quickly began to work on his book, most likely a drawing if his movements were anything to go by. Alice knew better than to break someone's concentration or to even peek. Last time Geradin interrupted her during a similar activity of focus he ended up with a book on his head and a lump

The man drew himself up from his book once more and addressed no-one in particular, [b]"So, what brings y'all out to these parts? I wanted to have a good time on an adventure that reminded me of my past, so that's why I'm out here."[/b]

"We are here on queen's business, there are some threats in these parts that need putting to rest." she didn't hide her Vrettonnian accent, "I would tell you more if only for companionship, but I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to who you are, friend." she offered her hand in greeting, in a position to be shaken as is custom in most human lands.
