I told him the only thing I saw, i wasn't quite sure in that moment but it is clearer now. The man was wearing a stone bird mask. It was bizarre to say the least. On the way back, The Detective asked me where I learned running like that...

I remembered back to all the dreams I had where I ran through the city, someone yelling thief not far away, clutching whatever I had snatched recently. My parents always told me I had all those dreams, because I played catch to much with my siblings. I'm a mailman, I have to run fast yeah, that's right. We also properly introduced ourselves, he is quite the gentleman!

When we came back, we decided to investigate the room the hooded figure had fled from. We passed by The Earl and Dr.Alexandrow, who were trying to get Johann to be (unwillingly) operated on (which, yet again, I can't believe how the Earl treats this poor man).Continuing on to the washing room the man had fled, McArson found A bit of black material which McArthur later identified as a feather (fits with the whole bird thing, I guess?) and we saw an open window on the opposite in the east wing...curious.

Shortly before turning in for the night, we heard another sound, of something hitting the ground outside. The detective and I went along one side of the house, while McArthur took the other side. We found the Earl, who had apparently fallen while on a nightly walk (Would it be mean to say he deserved it, Aphrodite?). He also showed us something curious he found: A bed sheet with flecks of blood. I suggested maybe it was a women's blood (I have many sisters, these things happen), but alas we couldn't quite make out where it came from, and thus we went to bed.
