[Barodir]

After Pio came over and threatened him, Barodir decided to watch his manners.

Still, he just couldn't shake the thought of Erdamineon being the robber. He waited for Pio and Harenthiel to leave, and then approached Erdamineon more casually.
"So, if you are not my robber, then who are you?" he asked.

The Elf replied "I am Erdamineon, son of..."

"Have you ever been to Gondor?" Barodir interupted

"I have, but on official business." Erdamineon answered harshly, tired of the guards accusations and questioning.

"Hmph!" Barodir sneered. "Tell me, what part of Gondor were you in."

"Minas Tirith, but it was long ago." the Elf replied.

"Well," Barodir said as he brought out a journal, "we shall see. This log book holds all records of the events of the day the treasures were stolen, and," pointing to a certain point on a page, "it says an Elf with fair looking hair was seen with a large bag over his horses back, and" taking a second to look at Erdamineon, "you match the description!"

"I assure, on that date, I was nowhere near Minas Tirith" Erdamineon replied. "But, you'll notice that the Elf in the book is said to have shady eyes, and mine are clear, as you can tell."

Barodir, hearing he had made a mistake, searched the page, saw the error he made and went red. "Err...sorry...you must forgive me, I'm quick to judge and I forget things frequently....err, I guess you're innocent."

"You are forgiven. We all make mistakes every once in a while." Erdamineon said. "Next time, please think before you act." To this, Barodir went red even more.

"However, I do know one Elf that matches that description." Erdamineon said. "He's actually in this area, and I could take you to...."

Just then, the door swung open, and there was the Elf that Barodir was searching for, seemingly ready to kill...
