After some time, Lancer is again aware of her Ladyship's presence; she is in the library. Doubtless she has important business there, and to interrupt would be ungracious, but this -- this cannot go unaddressed. Slowly, he stands, and makes his way to where her Ladyship is working. Saizo fades into the shadows as Lancer walks, which may be for the best. He will discuss this with the Braves later, but now isn't the time for it.

He cannot remember when last his steps were so uncertain.

He pauses at the doorway to the library, and means to clear his throat to announce his presence, but finds the sound stuck. Instead, he raps lightly on the doorframe; truly, he could not knock any harder.
