[L's focus is on his breathing, longer and slower. It means something invasive and upsetting, after a long stretch of invasive and upsetting things, but it is not inherently threatening. It's a piece of crumpled-up paper that was seen by someone whose eyes it was never meant for, a few words scrawled in his spidery hand that trail off after still managing to say far too much.
He should have burned it. He's grown far too comfortable with the relative anonymity he's afforded in Aefenglom, but he was careless in this case. And lying to Myr will only prolong this discomfort. His blindness is a disadvantage to the faun, but what he feels through the Bond more than compensates for his ability to suss out a lie.]

Searching the room's rubbish bins for an item he hadn't even witnessed the creation of wouldn't have been on his agenda.
But L has a stalker, as they both know. He brushes past Myr, dropping to his knees to look for fibers in the carpet.]
It's the season for it. If he was here, there would be traces...
