"Deasaigh was part of our company, an archer of more than passing. It seems that both Deasaigh and Béar were exposed to one who could bond us. Deasaigh was turned and betrayed the group while Béar has remained stanchly loyal to the queen. I guess we've talked little of it as we were all stung by it. Of course at the time we knew nothing of the Cuibreach"

"Hmmm, that does, indeed, shed new light on our present situation. I was not aware that you had already encountered one who had been bonded against his will. I don't think that I could ever forgive myself, if I were so used to harm those whose fates had been so strongly allied with my own."

That's part of what makes him so much fun to play.

A Toast at Airgead's
About a half an hour before the clock turns to a new day, Naoilann hops up on a table and raises his glass. As he stands silently, glass in the air, the crowd gradually quiets in expectation. When everyone’s attention is focused on the swordsman, he quietly speaks a name: “Adamnan.” Everyone raises his or her glass and repeats the name: “Adamnan.”
After Naoilann returns to his seat, the crowd remains quiet for a moment until Gealach stands and intones “Eamon.” Again, the gathered Bairdéir raise their glasses as they follow: “Eamon.”
One after another, the Bairdéir rise and toast. After a few moments, the Criú recognize that the names are those of Bairdéir who have been lost in the performance of their duties to Queen and country. The list is quite long, and the flood of names only begins to slow as the clock nears Midnight.
OOC: I'll pause here for any responses . . .

OOC:
All of the names are of those who died or were otherwise 'lost' in service over the past year, or have been missing longer than the year but have only been declared 'lost' in the past year (either due to evidence being found or to the Queen simply deciding it was time to succumb to the inevitable and get closure). Some have been missing since the early days of the efforts to consolidate the realm - the Bairdéir have only been in existence for about 5 years.
There are 23 names called - it is fairly common knowledge around the campus that this has been an extraordinarily difficult year for the Bairdéir. 'Normal' losses would be 5 to 10 in a year.
