[ Inigo is good at reading people - or, at least, to an extent. So when he sees Vero's eyes linger on that armchair, he gives his arm a gentle squeeze to stop his thoughts from drifting too much. ] Come on - I'll keep the rest of the tour short, so you can come back here and start reading.
[ The rest of the day goes by in a blur. He shows Vero the rest of the castle (the gardens, the luxurious bathing area, the other hidden nooks and crannies for hiding away and getting a second of privacy), then together they join the rest of the Ylissean royal family and Lyric for a grand ol' dinner to celebrate the beginnings of their new alliance.
It's only once the moon's high in the sky and the majority of the castle's inhabitants have gone to sleep that Inigo feels like he can breathe. He's swiped a tea tray from one of the servants and carries two cups of tea toward the library. One's for himself, and the other's to share if luck's on his side.
He opens the door to the library and calls out to the room. ] Vero?
