Ecthelion: *wants to get back to work*

Theoden: *brings the report*

Ecthelion: Theo! *surprised to see him*

Theoden: I've got something for you from Detective Gwaedhon, sir. *looking around in case of Celegorm ambush*


Ecthelion: From Gwaedhon, hmm?

Theoden: I think it's about the fire *glancing around the house*

Ecthelion: Let me see.

Theoden: *holds it out, it has the elf equivalent of a happyface after Lio's name*

Ecthelion: *takes and reads*

Theoden: *sees a grey tail sticking out from under the couch* ...Dagnir?

Dagnir: *was in a meeting with Lio before Theo's arrival and pokes his head out* *innocent tone* mew?

Theoden: what are you doing here? *crouches down to pick up his cat* sir, I'm sorry

Dagnir: *cat sigh*

Ecthelion: *looks up* What? Oh. Don't worry, Theoden. He comes to visit me sometimes.

Theoden: but Huan would eat him!

Dagnir: *scornful noise*

Ecthelion: No, Huan's left him alone, don't worry. *frowns at what he's reading*

Theoden: ...really? That wasn't how they were when I last saw them together. *frowns at Dagnir* what are you doing when I'm not around, puss?

Dagnir: *paws at Theo's face and purrs in response*

Dagnir: *was giving his report of what he'd smelled around Nuala's shop to Lio*

Ecthelion: Hang on a moment, Theo. *pens a note to Finrod, asking him to come for a talk* Here, can you deliver this to Finrod for me?

Theoden: yes, sir. *frowning, doesn't want to go near Finrod, afraid of being accused* Should I take Dagnir with me?

Dagnir: *gnaws on Theo's chainmail over his shoulder to give his opinion of that*

Theoden: *under his breath* stop that

Ecthelion: You can leave him. I'm sure he'll find his way home.

Theoden: *nods* if he ever does something wrong, I'm really very sorry. I try to lock him in the house, but he always seems to get out

Theoden: *sets the cat down*

Ecthelion: *smiles* He's fine.

Theoden: *nods* I hope you're recovering well. I'll go deliver this right away

Dagnir: *tries to tidy his matted fur*

Ecthelion: Thank you, Theo.

Theoden: *salutes and goes*

Dagnir: he not there.

Ecthelion: Hmm?

Dagnir: I no smell him at fire. *firm*

Ecthelion: Oh, I didn't think it was Theo.

Dagnir: I smell other horse people. That all. *works on his tail*

Ecthelion: *nods* Theo's young and kind of dumb, but he's good-hearted. Not a murderer.

Dagnir: *chuckles* yes

Dagnir: what you need now? Or I go?

Ecthelion: I'd like you to try and learn who set the fire.

I no dog, but I can sniff people in city. I demand fish for kicks they give me, hm?
