Tol-in-Gaurhoth IV (The Saga, erm, Still Continues...)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

the phantom brings up an excellent point and I am very glad he has. It allows me to give an explanation of my seemingly contradictory quotes.

- I did say that the werewolves would not kill a loudmouth.

- Then I did wonder why they hadn't killed the phantom (a loudmouth).

There is a reason for this.

In between making those comments, I considered the phantom's plan in greater depth.

Originally I had thought that he was certainly safe from the wolves just because he was a loudmouth, prone to cause trouble and confusion among the innocent villagers.

But then, I realised the meaning of his lack of volunteering for his plan, thus suggesting that he is gifted or a werewolf. Which begs the question, why was he not killed by the werewolves if he is gifted.

I realise I was not especially quick to grasp this myself but hey! I'm no werewolf, I don't have to carefully consider which villager to feast upon!



EDIT TO ADD: I was quick to reply to that query, phantom. Not so your follow-up. I am off to bed. Don't consider apparent hesitation to be suspicious, please.
