Sherlock continued to examine Frodo, only briefly glancing at his phone to see the message from John.
"You carried the ring rather than wore it. Occasionally on a chain but more often as not in your pocket. You favor one arm, just slightly, but the dirt on your shoes tell me you have been working hard at something, likely righting your household again after the recent quakes meaning the injury is not recent, as I suspected. I imagine you have been over the places outside which you might have lost the ring, but needless to say I need access to the property to check myself. Still, your worry about this ring 'leaving' you rather than being simply lost is most interesting."
