[log] i'm the stranger's lonely glance, i'm the hero's only chance

After Martel leaves again, Morray stays in his office for a good long while - a few clerks from Lenda come and go in the intervening hours, but he doesn't emerge himself until well after dinner, seeking out Teobhan with no particular agenda in mind yet but finding her. He supposes, perhaps, they should discuss some of what Martel had to say to him

Teobhan, coincidentally, is looking for Morray as well. When she sees him, she pauses in the hallway for a second, as if considering her method of approach, and eventually she just walks over and kisses him hello.

If her life is ruined by the end of the month, she might as well enjoy what time she gets to be free.

For his part, Morray doesn't rightly realize she's there until she's in front of him, at which point she's rather efficiently distracted him from whatever was in his thoughts. "...hello," he says, half into her hair.

"The Lord General knows, now."

No sense in beating around the bush. She stays leaning on Morray.

Morray hesitates, and then wraps his arms more securely at her waist. "Yes, I know."

...it wouldn't hurt to continue talking, there.
