Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing…

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm not really sure what dancing spawn is asking from me so I'll say this: I suspect everyone. That's right. There are three wolves in this village and they could be anyone for all I know.

Yes, I have suspected some people and then taken it back: It's a method called querying someone and then gauging reaction. Yes, I have asked other people's opinions: that's called interacting with the village. Yes, I have 'hesitated' (or whatever you want to call it): that's due to a lack of certainty, because I — like everyone else in this village — have no knowledge of the roles of other people. And yes, I have mildly suspected some people: I trust that most other people have mild suspicions too.

'Real suspicion' is apparently an unattainable ideal according to this lady. And I'm very confident I could insert the names of many other villagers in place of Eomer in her analysis and end up with a similar result. I hope to quiz you on that tomorrow, Spawn, because I think there's a bit of selectivity in your choice of target today.

Has anyone investigated you yet?

Good night.
