[log] i fall into the shadows, to the core of shattered things

After Henry and Hasi are gone following Ethina to their guestrooms, Martel speaks with Ewar briefly before meeting Langler at the library. No one (particularly Langler himself) is entirely sure why he's found himself more and more called upon personally - but nevertheless, there he is and he does as he's bid without complaining or questioning. The fact he's actually capable of working when he's set to it is probably why he's still got a place here in the first place- but that's not the point of this.

When Martel's satisfied with what he has noted down and has run out of errands to send Langler on, he dismisses him and files it away in his working library, and finally leaves work and wondering for the night. It's not nearly as late as it feels, just late enough that he can safely rely on expecting Candice to be in their rooms - which is his next destination. There are conversations he's been avoiding, and...he intends to continue avoiding them, but now he has something much, much more interesting.

And he prefers to spend as much of his time as possible in her company, yes, yes; obsession, thy name is Martel.
