"For the dead in the woods, though. Yeah." Rubbing the back of his neck, he sighs. "The Watch-- they're stretched so thin just in town, there's no way they could patrol the roads too. But if you have any ideas, I bet they'd like to hear them." While it would be easy enough to say any of this with derision or judgment, Finian is, as ever, completely sincere.
