*Around halfway through Dallid's commentary, Donovan once again emerges from his room, bearing an empty tankard. He listens appreciatively to both Dallid and Robin as he fills his mug from Atrum's ample stores. After draining the tankard and filling it yet again, he takes a seat by the fire. He speaks over his shoulder.*
"I have heard several fine ideas, my lady captain, and as usual Dallid has much of value to contribute. I favor simplicity in a memorial - perhaps just a standing stone with the name of any who perished in defense of the haven etched in their own language."
*Pauses for a drink*
"Perhaps a spell could be researched to prevent it from being desecrated? I imagine we'll be fixing it after every battle once the beasts know what it means to us. As it is, I fear we'll be carving on it more often than we'd like..."
*Raises his tankard to the fire*
"To our honored dead, our departed friends, and those whom we've forgotten; to our kinfolk and our children, to the lovers we've besotted; to those we've sought, and those we've slain, and those who wished us ill; to those ahead who laid the path and we who walk it still; lead them not astray as a spirit doomed to roam; Prithee, we beseech thee, Light see them safely home."
*He drinks deeply.*
