[ It is definitely a mess of napkins. There's not a huge amount of them, but it's definitely enough to be weird. But Varian can probably figure out just why Fane has them at all, since there are notes scribbled on them all. They're very hard to read with how the ink is absorbed into the napkin, but he'll be able to make out some words easier than others: "village", "illusion", "festival". It seems like these might be Fane's notes on the festival? But any more than that will take more intense study to figure out what he had written. No wonder he's annoyed by the napkins considering the fact that he's been trying to use them for this... ]

Precisely my idea. It will only be rough, since even this is not accurate, but... [ He taps the napkin with the partial footprint ] At least this is something that needn't be precise. As long as it is generally that size, then it should suffice.

[ since without knowing anything else I'm going to take a guess that his is an average sized partial print, so it'd probably eliminate the Cinderellas and Big Foot (Feet???). That's what Fane is roughly thinking, at least. ]

I almost long for the simplicity of Fort Joy. Why, if you were to be murdered there, it's perfectly straightforward!
