I appear to have misread Eomer's post. He simply stated that Kitanna was a Vampire in Post 67 just to see what reactions he would get. Interestingly, as he observes, Rikae and Celuien jump on Kitanna after his "suspicion" is mentioned.

What to make of Eomer's strange action? We know Celuien is innocent. Kitanna, Eomer, and Rikae are unknowns, though Rikae has been a suspect of mine.

Possibilities:
1. Eomer is innocent. He was not actually suspicious of Kitanna, and was trying to flush out Vampires. This is possible, but I don't think putting a likely innocent at risk is something that another innocent would do. However, Eomer's predecessors from past ages have been known to be a little ruthless from time to time.

2. Eomer is innocent, and genuinely suspicious of Kitanna. This is alomst certainly not the case, as he claims that he "didn't have a single point about Kitanna" in post 79. I highly doubt an innocent would deny an actual suspicion.

3. Eomer is a Vampire and was trying to set Kitanna up to be killed. No. See above.

4. Eomer is a Vampire, and Kitanna is another Vampire. Doubtful, but Eomer would probably be willing to sacrifice a fellow Vampire if it suited his interests. His predecessors from times past have done similar things. However, casting suspicion on a fellow Vampire and hen washing one's hands of it seems a little too sloppy to me.

There are problems with every hypothesis I've come up with, but I think 2 and 3 can be eliminated. As for 1 and 4, there are not many clues to go on.

Eomer, were you honestly expressing suspicions of Kitanna back there, or were you just trying to see how people would react?
