"I am at a loss", said Éomer. "I do not know yet who to vote, and already evening draws near. Like I said earlier, I fear lord Radagast and what he might be hiding beneath his fair mask, but hesitate to drive him away without more proof.
"Though I have given much thought to the ranger Halbarad, I still do not know how to think about him. There seems to be something going on around him, if he is not a traitor then I suspect one of his accusers is. I do not know. I will think through once more what has been said about him, and what he has said.
"There is something sinister in how Mistress Lobelia talks, though her arguments are generally good and sensible. She has become more controlled and more careful, and I do not like the change. She explains it very reasonably, but something just does not sit right with her.
"Of the others I have nothing to add to what I have said before. Like I said I do not know who I am going to vote. I guess it will be a choice between Radagast, Lobelia and possibly Halbarad, depending on the result of my thinking. I am still a little uneasy about both Galadriel and Elrohir, but will probably leave them alone at least until tomorrow.
EDIT: x-ed with two Toms and a Radagast
