The nobleman crossed his arms, lifting his chin a bit as he observed the man depart hastily once the outsiders had succeeded in their intervention. At last stepping forward, he addressed the priestess with a slight nod, shooting the half-blooded elf a glance and a nod as well. Imposing himself into the conversation, his gauntlets came to rest on his belt and his address began quite simply, starting with the company nearest to him and working out. "Not to interject," The bald, lean man noted to the hound of men, then next on to the woman of the church whose steps they gathered beside, "But perhaps it would be for the best for outsiders to attempt to remedy this issue." His slate eyes eased and he smiled, giving a soft bow while allowing an arm to fall across the chain and tabard on his chest, the other at his armored girdle. "Forgive my manners as well, but this is an interest of nobility, something I needed to address on behalf of the peerage I share with them. You, my dear, may address me as Lord Beaduric." The man returned to standing, his posture far less formal than it just had been, but he carried on in calm, almost serene demeanor. "Perhaps I could even persuade you, on account that it is my duty as a knight-errant as well, that I too need look into this matter personally... but, I could certainly use fellows." [hider=Effects] Lord Beaduric introduces himself and attempts to lend credibility to Tamarack Vanna's request, even assuring the priestess the man will not go alone in it and that the serious situation seems to have attracted peers of the feuding families, as well as the claims made.
