"I agree with you that Kath's performance toDay, I mean her last speech, was really baffling. But she's out of the limits toDay as both Lommy and Sleepy already have two votes. I hope she will have some explanations for her actions toMorrow."

Nogrod went for another pint and sat back to the armchair.

"Okay, we will decide this then. Not a happy situation, I and I say."

Nogrod went on to have a couple of sips, puffing his still lit pipe thoughtfully.

"I've tried to recall the things that have been discussed here from the beginning. It's somewhat frustrating. When you look at someone with an evil-eye, man... you know whaddye mean? Look at someone with Morgothian eyes and you see malice everywhere. But we will have to choose from two now.

You say we go for Sleepy. That sounds reasonable. These ladies have come out from somewhere to outspeak their "hunches" that the wolf is a male. Okay, the only unknown male is Sleepy and we do not know, whether there is something like an oddsy trick by Glirdy here bubbling under. Maybe they know it? Lynching Sleepy would prove it. But are they just making fun, at this hour? Or just trying to shield any suspicion on them by making the wolvery gender-relative - and wishing we would fall for it? Kath using Lommy as her excuse here? Lommy has a hunch and Kath sides her to make it a believable case when two already "know" the wolf is male?

Kath's sudden turn-around really confuses me: in the morning all for Lommy and in the evening for Sleepy because of his gender? If there would be something like Glirdy-based weirdness (him giving a piece of information to innocents / giving people new roles), it should probably happen at Night, not in the middle of the Day. At least it would sound more probable that way...

But yes, Sleepy looks pretty bad. If he's a wolf, he has done just those things a succesful wolf might think of doing. Being shady, not saying anything of substance, laying low, being mysterious and voting safe everyDay with carefully distancing himself from his votes. This last I hold as carrying the most blame.

So

++ Sleepy

For the reasons above.

If we are not getting things right now brother, I'm afraid we two are not going to meet toMorrow. Only the Ranger and the wolf know which one of us the wolf was after last Night; it might have been Volo too, but I doubt it as the wolf probably has more reasons to silence one of us. But tonite, it will come to knock the door of mine or yours again and there will be no guardian angel any more. So I and I just wish to say, that it was a pleasure to have met you, Easterling. You speak wisely."

Nogrod raised his pint to toast with Maca. He smiled melancholically to him and took a long draught from his ale, emptying the glass. He left the pint on the table next to the chair and took the first steps out from the door.

"If it's you who wakes to the new Day, please require an explanation from Kath, I really have bad feelings about her last actions."

With that he went to his own house and locked the door.
