Lhuna read the writings of the newly revealed girl, Brinn, as they came.
"You make a good point," she finally said when the latter was done, "about Nogrod and Mith. This makes Nogrod all the more suspicious to me than he already is. As for Mith...we have to consider that she could not fully participate in our discussions, thus her rather hasty vote. But that does not rid her of its possible consequences."
She stood up and stretched, and, as she was wont to do, started walking around.
"It's been a couple of Days, and Gil's absence is now making me uneasy. I know he has valid reasons for leaving, but all the same...we need him here. Not just to help us discover who the wolves are, but also to scrutinise him and learn if he is or is not one of them. His prolonged absence casts doubt on the possibility that he is a wolf, but he needs not be here if his partner is. I curse him to a swift and dreadful death if he actually is a lycanthrope.
"Another thing that worries me is this spectacle between Nogrod and tgwbs. I am now almost certain that one of them is a wolf - or both of them, I certainly wouldn't put it past them. I had been uneasy of Nogrod yesterDay, and I remain so, and it is strange behaviour that tgwbs should also place himself in the limelight..."
Lhuna scratched her head and frowned.
"It's confusing. They're both being hasty, Nogrod feels furry, but he makes a good point about tgwbs's inconsistency. I can't make a conclusion now, but they're both high on my list, and I'll need to see the rest of this, as well as the others.
"Brinn's now no longer as suspicious to me as before, having heard more from her - in my dreams, it seems - after I fell asleep last Night. As for the rest, not much has changed since yesterDay, but that's probably because I haven't spent enough time recalling their statements. I particularly wish to hear more from Mith toDay."
She strolled again towards the pool outside to be alone with her thoughts, but all the same trying to keep a keen ear on the voices inside the house.
