[Macalaure]

Macalaure lifts himself off his chair in his dark corner and walks to the center of the room. Calmly but sternly looking into everybody's eyes, one by the other. As the last, the Ranger of the North meets his glance.

"I have to say that Meneltarmacil rubs me the wrong way of late. He threw out a 'random' accusation in the beginning, and later even called this the norm! I should be pleased to see him defend my ally from Harad, and accusing the Elf. However, I trust no Dunedain more than any Elf. Lommy could be a wolf, for sure, but Menel's arguments I do not find to be convincing. She voted Naria because there was no one better. Sure Naria wanted to get people into talking, but without doing so herself.
You say "if she turns out to be innocent"? Are you already plotting what to do after her death, even before she collected even one vote? Then you will go after Naria, you say, and expect us to accept this as logic, because it then will used to be the suspicion of a proven innocent. To me, this looks like a wolf laying the tracks to be able to excuse his involvement in the future lynching of no less than two innocents. I do not say Lommy and Naria are innocent, but Menel's words strike me as very suspicious."
