[ The locket is, as usual, in the air and facing the Outsider. Unfortunately, his gaze seems to be a bit to the left of the locket and instead of floating in mid-air, he's sitting on his bed. A large white rat scurries up his arm and across his shoulder, then leaps to the mattress and then the floor; judging by the faint noise in the background, it's not the only rat in the room. ]
I can no longer see, [ the Outsider states simply, sounding faintly confused. ] The Maidenfish have handed me a piece of paper, but if it says anything, I cannot read it.
[ The aforementioned piece of paper is held up so that the locket can get a good look at the writing- or that's the intention, anyway. He's holding it backwards, and one of the Maidenfish (in the form of a woman, wearing a veil and a long, black dress with a train) gently turns the paper around so that the words face the screen.
Dearest Outsider,
You will have found by morning's light that I have divested you of your eyesight. Is it something you miss? Something you might like to have returned to you?
I'd hoped so! For I'd dearly like to have those shards of mine returned. I propose this to you:
Deliver either a fully-powered shard or a sigil tablet to an old, ruined place where the Black Shuck was once worshipped, in the dark of Nimh Gleane: a circle made of seven stone statues of the Old Dog himself. Place the object in the open mouths of any number of the statues and be on your way. If this is done within a month, I shall make the return to you as swift and silent as it was stolen!
If not, I'll distribute what I've taken among the humble populace of native folk.
Best wishes,
Reynard the Fox, Rightful Lord of Maupertius, titles & honors, etc. ]
If someone could inform me of what it says...?
[ After what he deems an appropriate length of time, the Outsider lowers the paper. Shifting slightly on the bed to hand the note back to one of the Maidenfish, his movement reveals one more thing: on the wall behind him, a fine drawing of a winking fox's face in red chalk. ]

And I had my eyes closed. Well. I suppose we will have to see if I learnt it a-right.
When shall we hunt?

[ Maglor's eyes are bright and his smile has too many teeth - not that the Outsider can probably tell ]
I will be ready.
