*again, quite slowly as though it takes great effort to think (and it does, a bit, when he knows that Maeglin was in this very office and you are intent on denying it?)*
That's. *pauses* Disappointing. I had wondered if he might make himself known to you. *with a small shrug* But if you're sure ...? *briskly* Of course, you put it best yourself. You could get in a lot of trouble if you saw him and didn't report it. *another pause* And Maeglin hasn't made any attempt to contact you at all?
