WW LXXXII: Return to Tol-in-Gaurhoth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A question for those (that's you, Zil and skip) who allegedly made the same mistake as me, thinking Lottie had seerish reasons to suspect Shasta: didn't it at least occur to you to give Shasta the same benefit of doubt? I naturally didn't consider it myself, knowing his suspect to be innocent (and was utterly flabbergasted when I read the narration), but since none of you could have known that (except, of course, if you're a wolf!), didn't the possibility at least occur to you?
By the way, in this respect I tend to find skip more genuine, since he gave this explanation without anybody suggesting it and it fits his line about undisclosed reasons yesterDay, whereas Zil only came up with it after both skip and me had already talked about it. For that reason, I'm not so happy with Greenie's vote.

As I already said here, I didn't think Lottie could be the Seer. I considered that skip might be. Since Shasta already looked odd, skip seemed more believable.

So skip explained his vote for Shasta without being asked? You asked him to explain it, did you not?

Scratch the last bit. I think I know what Pitch meant now.
