byerly.

It's respectably early but respectfully not too early when Madi's carefully neat handwriting appears in the Lord Ambassador's enchanted book:

Lord Ambassador Rutyer, I would like to request an audience at your convenience. Rest assured it is not urgent by any means.
- Madi Scott

bastien.

"I am looking for a man called Bastien."

That's Madi's opening line, after appearing in the doorway to Bastien's office and knocking on the open door. She looks about the office, naturally curious about what the contents might say about the owner. Not that she has much of any context to place anything in, but there's still value in seeing things without any bias.

When she looks to the man in question, aware of who he is even if they haven't been introduced formally, it's with a slight tint of amiable amusement.

"Do you know where I might find him?"

"Oh, I see. It would be my pleasure." He straightens a few things on the desk before he comes around it. "It is downstairs."

Presumably she doesn't mind the walk.

Once they're on the stairs, he says, "Is it very cold here compared to what you are used to?"

[filotimo]

"It is," she nods. "I had never seen snow before coming here."
