When you approach him, he will be exasperated:

"Done. I can't do my job, not all with this going on!"

He will be panicky for leaving both Prince Adrien's dead body and the graveyard behind due to the undead rising:

"I know there's a war afoot and all that, but there's a problem here at the graveyard.
The corpses are climbing out of their graves! I promise—this isn't my fault! I buried them all real good!"
Do you know why this is happening?
"No! I don't know nothing. I was just bringing Prince Adrien in here to lay him to rest in the royal crypt, but when these walking bones started popping up, I ran for it.
I-I just left the prince's corpse laying out...but what was I supposed to do?"
Where is the prince's corpse now?
"It's up there a ways, outside the royal crypt. One of the prince's knights stayed there to protect him. She can be noble if she wants, but I'd rather be alive. I do feel bad though. That's why I was thinking maybe if I could find someone to help her?"
I can go help her.

He will mention how Prince Adrien died:

"If you could find a way to get all those corpses back in the ground while you're up there, I sure would appreciate that.
I can't make a living if I can't get into the graveyard!"
How did the prince die?
"Died in a battle with the Reachmen—right there with King Eamond. You have to feel for the queen. First she loses her daughter, then her husband and her son.
Prince Adrien deserves a proper burial...just maybe after the graveyard's safe again."
