I second-guessed my case for Boro being the seer after all this, but re-reading, I still see it. I think what happened was that Boro didn't dream of a wolf, again, so he didn't have any name to give us and didn't want to lose our trust by giving us a mere suspicion only for that mere suspicion to quite possibly turn out to be wrong.

Instead, he used our trust, the wretch! I think Rune was just a more or less random name he threw at us to see what the living would do with it.

This sounds like he primarily expected to learn from it. Both here and in

he actively tries to dissuade people from following "our" lead. He didn't actually want to see his bait lynched. Also, assuming Rune is innocent (which he is, for all we and presumably Boro know), his survival leaves the village's trust in us more intact: not following is better than following and being wrong.

This, too, looks like he laid a trap.

I can't see an ordo or the Child act the way he does. At all. If he's a wolf faking it, he is showing quite amazing commitment and consistency. Has it ever happened that a wolf faked being the seer (for more than a day or two) and got away with it?

Finally dreaming of Greenie now, since that's the one he didn't get to?


(It did occur to me, too, that Boro might be a wolf and the pack intentionally planned on sacrificing I-don't-like-being-a-wolf Lhuna. I like the idea, I must say, but I don't think it's realistic.)

I've seen an argument here for Boro being the Seer. I had toyed with that, partly as a way to explain his odd behavior. But then I'd also picked up Seer vibes from Shasta, as in "X is good, Y is dodgy, end of discussion".

For the record, Kit, I do feel bad about drawing attention to your slip. I honestly couldn't see it as anything other than evil intent, and I had no doubt it had been noticed by the wolves already.
