[ 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? ]

Are you touched in the head?

not here

[faithlikeaseed]

[because...]

[dashing]

You all but invite discord, Knight-Lieutenant.

not here

[paladingus]

[limier]

You needn't whisper, Harrimann.

[limier]

If something has gone amiss, I'd sooner know than allow it — [ the absence of some small, frustrated sound; meaning somewhere: a small, frustrated gesture ] — Escalate.

[ like the phylacteries. or the forest. or the venatori intelligence. or the new altus mages strolling about. or, or, or, ]

i / ii

[elegiaque]

Well, something's certainly going to go amiss now, isn't it.

private.

[elegiaque]

I think someone broke into my home while it was shut up for the worst of winter.

[limier]

Discord is a constant neighbour. I've concern when she goes silent.

[onlyhymns]

I'm-- [clears throat and speaks only a fraction louder] --sorry. Everything is fine.

[dashing]

No need to provoke it with goading and doubts.

Private.

Have you reason to suspect some particular disturbance lurking?

[tar_minyatur]

It is rather boring, yes.

[limier]

[ the faint sound of someone pacing, ]

What has happened?

infinity

[limier]

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

Was anything taken?

private infinity

[limier]

I am not — [ a sharp breath. easy now. ] — Maker's sake, when do they not?

[ lurk ]

[elegiaque]

No. I might be being paranoid.

( a beat. )

And Thranduil doesn't need to hear about it.

[onlyhymns]

nothing







why

[limier]

[ a little too cold to be quite polite — ]

One might find excitement in working to further a cause.

[ like the inquisition. and its divisions. freeloader. ]

[limier]

private;

[limier]

Why are you apologizing?

[ other than that it's just what he does between breathing ]

[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 ]

[tar_minyatur]

[ He shrugs, casually ]

I've been down in Lowtown all day, chopping firewood for the folk there. That's cause enough for me. [ And more than what most of the Inquistion does, is implied ]

private infinity PLUS ONE

[dashing]

You sound like a bored child.

( Evenly; maybe she's making a joke. Maybe it's a reference to the sort of thing whoever trained Herian would tell her in the White Spire. It's whatever you want it to be. )

[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.
