[Day 2, Night - A House South of Town]

[Written into the ground alongside one of the houses to the south of town tonight are a series of strange letters, forming a rough circle near the wall. A figure of approximately Loki's build, not there during the day's exploration, leans against the wall at the corner. The door to the house is open.]

[Some hours after the sudden switch from day to night, Loki stands in front of the door, a candle before him, a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other. He checks the mirror set carefully in the darkness, nothing yet visible in its surface. Then he strikes the knife with the spoon's handle, and he holds his breath - and he waits.]

[Turns to look at him, ears still fixed on the sounds without.]

How well do you think?

Like a cat, I would imagine.

... Why don't we investigate?

I can muster a reasonable amount of self-defense, as well as a very good sense of where to stick the pointy end.

Which places me in the very lower echelon of skill sets here. Watson perhaps being the only worse fighter.

It's not exactly my strong suit either. Except for Judith the whole inn's all brains and no might.

Indeed. Fortunately, investigation need not involve combat.

Sounds like this time it might.

[Heads out, steps quick and path sure.]

Whatever it is, it's quiet. Light clacking, that's all. Wood on stone.

There's no pattern to it. Not like footsteps have.

All the more reason to find out what's causing it.
