[ it might be reading into things a little, maybe, to call her voice tense ]

It is — uncommonly quiet today, no?

I trust that all is well, [ a pause that manages to audibly convey the act of suspicious looming ] Else we would hear of it.

[ is that a threat or a question? ]

Comments

infinity

[ probably, she shouldn't feel so relieved for that — ]

Was anything taken?

[elegiaque]

No. I might be being paranoid.

( a beat. )

And Thranduil doesn't need to hear about it.

[limier]

He does not need to hear of paranoia?

[ that's not a real question ]

What was left amiss?

[ if there wasn't a theft ]

[elegiaque]

My desk—my bookshelves. My dressing room, maybe, but it's harder to tell. The servants never touch my books. I am very particular about my books.

( there's a brief pause. )

I took everything that someone might have wanted to take with me, when I decamped to the Gallows.

[limier]

It would not be so difficult to get through unseen. You are well-hidden from the street.

[ locks are only so good, and there's the balcony — ]

I presume your neighbours have volunteered nothing. Are all the staff accounted for?

[elegiaque]

They are. And all of their keys, before the close.

And you know what I think of my neighbours.

( speaking of paranoia. )

[limier]

[ 'i know you're terminally nosy' is maybe. just maybe. the pot calling the kettle. ]

You've had no further contact with the man?

[elegiaque]

We've occasionally exchanged polite unpleasantries passing one another in Hightown. Other than that.
