[ Arthur is taking a rest for the first time since he happened upon the fairies, and he looks the part. Slightly pale from the cold but cheeks flushed from running about, but he is put together and battle ready. This is the leader of the Knights of Camelot. ]
For those of you as of yet unaware, the touch of these creatures is as dangerous to bare skin as is flame - I'm told you call it frostbite. They're not difficult to kill, but their claws are sharp enough to tear through cloth and freeze flesh.
Those that are unarmed or incapable of combat would do well to remain indoors where they cannot reach you. Those of you that find yourselves caught in the streets with no means of escape, find the nearest blunt object and attempt to fend them off until myself or anyone in the vicinity can assist you to safety.
Sir Leon, Sir Gwaine - I know we are no longer in Camelot, [ He pauses, and inhales lightly ] but we are still knights, and as such, I believe we've a duty to protect the people of Asgard as much as our own. I would ask you to fight alongside me once more until the city is free of this plague. We need to ensure the women and children are securely out of harm's reach, and drive their numbers back to whence they came.
[ He pauses again, contemplating his next words carefully. ]
We may all be from separate worlds, different upbringings and customs, but we are all on common ground here. We've all been brought here and left to fend for ourselves, and so it's up to us to protect each other. I may be royalty in Camelot, but here, we are all equals, and I will do everything in my power to keep you all safe so that you may live to see your homes again. If there's to be a war and we're to be caught in the middle, I will proudly stand beside you and see it through to the end.
Stay strong, Asgard. These gods haven't seen the best of us yet.
[ He hesitates a second, as though there is so much more on his mind, before he turns the feed off. ]

I've heard them called faeries, though they're quite unlike any I've ever heard of. My thanks, all the same.
[Video]
No, there's no need to thank me. I think I should be thanking you for giving me the privledge to hear a wonderful speech. It's been a long time since I last heard one quite like it. [The good old days when Ansem was known as a wonderful and wise ruler, before Radiant Garden's downfall.]
Mmm, they don't seem like your average fairy. At least, they look nothing like the Gullwings. Although, they're about the same size, but...it really is rare to find fairies as big as these. Too bad they're not friendly, they really are beautiful from a distance. [She's pretty disappointed about it because she used to be fascinated with fairies when she was little.]
[Video]
It's an honour.
[ But then, oh. That catches his attention. ]
You've experience with the sort, then?
[Video]
You can say that, yes. I've seen and met fairies before, but again nothing like the ones here. Fairies aren't violent, and don't usually attack others unless they were somehow threaten. [Sadly looking down.] ...I really do hope there's a reasonable explanation over their attack. I don't want other people to think so negatively about them now. Fairies really are kind and generous creatures!
[Again, she can't help think about the Gullwings, the Fairy Godmother, and the kind fairy Pinocchio told her so much about.]
[Video] apologising profusely for slowness ;;
... I find it difficult to believe that any creature of magic could be "kind and generous," though I suppose I'll have to take your word.
[ More or less. Mostly less. He's still struggling to accept being openly surrounded by magic. ]
These ones are hardly so pleasant, at any rate. I've heard tell that they've been sent on account of the "Ice Queen."
