After retrieving the notes from Magnus, Morvannon shows them to the captive. "These were found at the scene of a very grisly murder. One that violated the laws of both man and gods. You don't happen to recognize the handwriting, do you?" he says, eyeing the dwarf carefully to gauge his reaction.
"Murther! Nae, it cannae be! The haindwritin'... Ah thenk... Well, it could be auld Maister Crabhairn, wha been tutor t'Milady Porphyria fer nigh on fefteen yeers. Ah glaimpsed a coontraict he scribed fer the laird, not twa weeks agin. His lairdship wasnae sae happy wi'th'letterin, I reckit. Nae oop tae th'Maister's usual stenderts, 'e said." Again, the dwarf seems earnest, but his brows purse in thought suddenly as he considers the last bit.
Vrrsk't came closer to the dwarf, Answer truthfully, or before Lauto can reach your soul, Apoli's radiance will burn it away. Are dark deeds committed in this house or no?
"Dark deeds? Nae, nae, it's nicht sae dark, sair knicht! She's jest a wee bairn, nae danger tae naebiddy. She'll sneekit ite and licht a caundle or thra wi' her girlfriends, chant a bet, betimes barn some encense or puir ite some wine. She's nae th'type t'be envolvet wi' nocht sae fearsome as murther or deevils. Jest wants t'tweak her deddy's nase a bet, aye?" The dwarf pleads, impassioned almost to the point of incoherence, but he seems to have no fear for his own sake.
