Macalaure stood outside the inn deep in thought while smoking a pipe of Eastmansweed and listening to what was being said. He heard Nogrod say "Also it's funny that Maca has not been suspected by anyone..." and wondered how he could have accumulated three votes if that was the case. Finally he got up and went inside, because he had some words for the others.

He recalled yesterday's words of Sleepy Ranger
"Indeed your vote for me was my main reason for suspecting you. I didn't expect a solid theory for it, maybe just a reason. You have to see, all I really know for sure is that I am innocent. So if somebody suspects me with no or few reason, this puts me on alert. I don't think I'm over-reacting and I surely don't want to intimidate you. My clan has a (short) history of being very defensive, just ask the dwarven tribe of Kuru. Then you said you dislike my tone. Hmmm, I apologise if it has been too rude or offensive - it's just the way we people from the East are like.
By the way, your status on my list went down from 'highly suspicious' to 'could be anything'."

Having said this, Macalaure turned back to the urgent matters.

"It saddens my heart that Valier has left us. Especially since I was going to declare her very suspicious today. Oh, well...

Nogrod said about Menel: "he must have felt him (that is me) a big threat as he left myself and Boro without any counter-comments".
Menel maybe just thought that it wouldn't be wise to counter the three of us at once, and thought that I would be easier to counter than you and Boro.

Talking of Nogrod, he starts to slightly worry me:

- He hasn't answered to the last words of Diamond.
- He said about Valier: "So she was wrong with Di - as many of us were..." That's it?
- He said: "Or have Boro or Maca (or myself) claimed one or two of them too openly so that they have not dared to kill the one?" I wondered about this, too. But you miss the possibility that Boro or Mac or yourself are, despite all their talking, waay off the track. Then why bother killing them? Let the three sway the vote and lynch the innocents they think guilty.
Or maybe you or Boro - the Lord Melkor have mercy on us if both - are a wolf, and therefore very satisfied with the current mutual trust.

As I said, he only slightly worries me. Let's see what he answers.

My chief suspects at the moment are Naria and Valesse (yep, I'm about to change my opinion on the latter). I will take a closer look at the two as the day progresses."
