Diamond regained consciousness in the morning, and learned of the death of
Menel with grim satisfaction.
"One dead werewolf," she said. "Excellent. I shall now have to cast my mind back over everything he said, even though I was unconscious during some of it. You may wonder how this is possible, well, I wonder too, but whatever."
She turned to
Kath, "I appreciate the posting, it makes for an interesting read, much clearer also than most everything else. Still, it makes me slightly worried, since we are both Hobbits previously acquainted with each other, and if people know you like I know you, they know how devestating your analysis can be when you are using it for ill deeds."
She walked to the bar and helped herself to some day old pancakes, feeling that the age and coldness of them made the consumption of them less gratuitous.
Casting her eye on
Nogrod, she observed, "I can't put my finger on it, but you still worry me. You talk long and pretty about the actions of others, calling on people to speak up and such, but that is all I really get from you and it isn't much. Seems a mite unfair to always be calling upon others to speak when that's most all you yourself are saying. Aye, I know I haven't said much of substance but then, at least I admit it. However, your vote for Menel at a critical time speaks well of you."
She heard her name mentioned in passing by
Mac:

Diamond didn't give any real contributions to our cause. Her vote was for no reason. It's weird that Menel commented on her fun accusations and told her to go wolf-hunting instead. Why would he ask this of an innocent?

She snorted. "No one around here tells me what to do. Period. I'm a rebel and I've never ever been any good, I'm a rebel and I never ever do what I should. I mean, you think I'm into ascectism for the morality of it? Pshaw. I'm in it for the rebellion. Ask the other Hobbits... my parents don't speak of me. Anyway, as to why Menel said that, you will have to ask him in the afterlife."
"But," she continued, "speaking of those being coached,
Volo today strikes me as very smooth for a newbie. This may speak well of his general intelligence, or it may indicate he's being helped along by a furry teammate. Time will tell."
"Eru willing, I will stick around and be able to contribute more to the discussion before I vote, but I must warn you that I feel another fainting spell coming on and do not know how long I can last."
