Listen to this Orc, he thought, boasting and half-threatening us already– not to mention trying to pre-empt our suspicions with his "I know that I'm probably more likely to be suspected than most here".

Elladan's hand rested lightly on the hilt of his sword. He never forgot his mother's torment...
