I am somewhat uneasy about voting for either of them as, while I am sure that one of them is a Wolf, I am in a quandry as to which one.

True, but it really doesn't come across that way to me at all. I read it more as naive than duplicitous.

In these types of situations (rightly or wrongly), I tend to fall back on the voting record.

Aiwendil has voted for known innocents on every Day, with the exception of yesterday when he voted for Farael. Farael has either voted for Aiwendil or not voted every Day, with the exception of yesterday when he voted for himself. In some ways, Farael's voting pattern is the less bold, because he has never been caught voting for a known innocent.

On Day 3, Aiwendil voted for Garin to put him level on two votes with Eomer. Garin was lynched and found to be innocent. Eomer, as we know, was a Wolf.

On Day 4, Aiwendil voted for tar-ancalime to put her level with Eomer on three votes. Eomer was lynched and found to be a Wolf. Tar-ancalime, as we know was innocent.

Farael did not vote on either Day. I would have expected a Wolf to vote when his fellow Wolf was in danger, unless he thought he was beyond saving. Clearly, that was not the case on Day 3 as Eomer survived. On Day 4, Farael strongly indicated that he was likely to vote for Eomer, but did not turn up to vote.

Both of their voting patterns look suspicious. But Aiwendil's the more so, I think.
