"A few old friends of yours just arrived downstairs," she says, all good spirits as the door is shut behind her. She breezes farther into the room, helping herself to fetching his coat from the back of that suspect looking chair. "Unless you've a particularly strong desire to visit with a few old Knights of the Order, I might recommend we be on our way. I can't say that they sounded particularly agreeable from what little conversation I overhead."

Is a lie; she knows for a fact that Bernhard, the tall lad with the face like an axe, is a perfectly charming and would be delighted to make conversation with any old friend. Which is precisely the issue.

Marcus' expression is unchanging for this first thing, patient for clarity to arrive— well, maybe a slightly disturbed flicker of a glance, tracking her as she fully enters his lodging and collects his coat, both for the motion itself as well as what it must mean. They've leaving, clearly, or such is the action he is being shepherded towards.

But there's a hardening at the edges of further elaboration, a certain quality to his stillness. As if his standing in place reflexively becomes more rooted, stubborn. He wants to ask what she's talking about when she says they don't sound particularly agreeable.

"How many?" he asks, instead.
