I noticed that too,
Lommy, and wondered about it. I thought she might be sending some kind of hint, actually. On the other hand, it's easy to forget. I realized that I had left
Eomer out of my list yesterday just before I posted; and somebody else (can't remember now) left someone out of their list as well.
Farael...is not himself and admits it. I think he's clever enough to use that admission as cover - "no wolf would admit to acting different!". I also think he was clearly trying to behave as people have come to expect him to, until he was called on being different. It's weird and unnerving to have
Farael lurking on the fringes, instead of in the thick of things.
Of course, I felt the same way about Morm, and he turned out innocent.
(In case you haven't noticed, I try to look at both sides of things. I realize that's considered "evil".
