[Thinlómien]

Thinlómien couldn't help bursting into a girlish giggle. "Cute and cuddly, Oromë save me, hopefully not. Mac, you're amusing me greatly." She smiled at the wainrider. "May I offer you a pint? Or a glass of apple juice maybe?"

She changed her position, and continued in a more serious tone. "This is no counter-suspicion, Macalaure, but your urgent and avid defence of your actions yesterday stroke me as a bit odd. Yet, now that I think of it, innocents too can overreact on things a bit, but I think that your eagerness to jump to your own defense is somewhat remarkable. I don't see you as a clear suspect, but not someone I'd trust to be innocent either."

"Now, I used quite a lot of time in recalling all the past events. After it I can say that I'm not as suspicious of Kath as I was before. Her defense yesterday was quite convincing. I'm not ready to trust her either, though."

"Volo I have no reason to suspect this far and that is the only thing that worries me in him or his behaviour. I'm inclined to think he's innocent though."

"Naria has been fairly vocal for a member of the Nariatic family and I'm still puzzled is that a good or a bad sign (though it certainly is a good thing), but I'm leaning towards her being a good guy. she's on the gray zone too."

"Gil is fairly suspicious and the threat he poses shouldn't be underestimated."

"Sleepy is a talking question mark for me."

Thinlómien sucked her hair. "I've no idea yet who to vote. Back to thinking, it is, I say."

Before falling to a trance, she suddenly rembered a comment she wished to reply. "Oh, Kath, that twisting of words... I just mean that I didn't say I was surprised I in no means - in my own opinion - conveyed the message I was surprised. I was actually interested and intrigued. I think there has been a misunderstanding and do not wish that to haunt this village life any further."
