Cornifer doesn't try to catch sight of the letter--they were incredibly insistent about the string--but he is watching Lemm carefully.
"I don't know. I missed most of whatever happened," he says honestly. He'd just returned from a trek around the Peak when he was informed hurriedly of the circumstances. "From what I've heard from my wife, they appeared quite suddenly, rattled and possibly injured, and brought a few wounded strangers in through Dirtmouth. Most of those moved along immediately, but they've shut themselves and someone else in their home and only come out to purchase meals and lights. They haven't been receptive to anyone stopping by since."
He sounds apologetic, and on the edge of worried, now. He hadn't tried, but Iselda had, and got only Geo pushed through a crack in the door for her trouble. Giving little response isn't particularly unusual for them, no, but under the strange circumstances, she'd been upset.
