A healer would have cured me after the murder... but here I had a guest, and the murderer was afraid to come in... so, everything indicates that the captain was protecting me.
A pointed ear might be related to a cat, as Ar already said. But I think that the demonologist and this ear have nothing in common, because if he had come to you, he would be dead (do you think you were just having tea with the captain again?).
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
