Just taking a break from my at-times-perilous calling of supplying YOU, the discerning customer, with the finest, most pure-blooded equines in all the Riddermark–

Where does the suspicion (and vote, now) on Kit come from, I wonder?

Here's her posts, in their entirety:

Unfortunately I can't stay for early Day 1 banter. I do have work and then mandatory work "fun" after hours. I imagine I'll be back in ten hours at the latest. Don't have too much fun without me.

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said and resaid. Most of the conversation is about our odds and the size of the village or typical IC banter. Nothing scandalous there. And by my count only Eomer and Pitch haven't shown up yet.

Now... there actually are a few points here, albeit minor ones. It's true she's said "almost nothing", but she's now taken quite a lot of posts to say it. Also, Post #2 is pretty much just "hey, guys, remember to suspect each other, 'bye", and Post #1 might be said have a faint "wolvish hypocrisy" vibe– though that last is a bit of a reach.

Okay. Pretty "thin", indeed, but I suppose it's enough to justify Zil's "ill-defined feeling of unease" comment, given this is Day One and there hasn't been that much else to analyse yet. Sally's vote, though, looks pretty opportunistic and her explanation sounds like hedging.

–Also– as a general thing, I find myself looking askance at people (Zil, Nessa, Sally), who paint lack of gifteds or excess of wolves as a positive thing, mostly because there's then statistically less chance of hitting the former than the latter. While true, this quite misses the point. I mean, I suppose one should always look for the silver lining and all that– but it's also often in the lupine interest to play down the village's danger. (None of this is an accusation, mind you– still much too early for that.)

EDIT:wrong word used.
