[ Perched on the windowsill, the device captures the sight of Guilford at a dutch angle. He is seated on the edge of his bed, hands busy running a sharpening stone along the edge of his newly-acquired blade. A set of small, iron-flecked daggers are set in a leather strap around his abdomen, over his white shirt, and a rag over his slacks is catching any fine shavings of metal or dust.
Also beside him on the bed, weighted down with a stone, is a stack of sheet music. ]
Though the crofts were further secured in the time I was absent, it seems the work came too late. [ He looks up from his work briefly. ] If anyone has seen a violin, inform me of its location. Perhaps it is in the hands of some fae creature, or was cast aside somewhere in the forest. My inspection of the village has proved fruitless. [ Guilford pauses, as if considering a second question... but no, he highly doubts that anyone here can actually craft such a delicate instrument. ]
No matter the case, it provided me with an adequate distraction, and I would appreciate any details that will lead to its retrieval. [ It's rare that he front-loads a "thank you", but there you have it! Though, now that he's said his piece, he reaches up to shut off the device. ]
