Aiwendil's recollection is correct. It was my crazy paranoia!

Wen you dropped the hint about being the one to give the Wolves death, you mentioned Farael and tar-ancalime as your main suspects, in addition to Eomer. I thought that Boro might protect you. Then, if you survived and no one else was killed, you and Boro would have a strong indication that neither of them were Wolves since, if they were and they took the hint, they would not have dared attack you. On the other hand, if someone else had died, then Farael and tar would be looking very Wolfish to you.

Crazy, huh?
