Herman liked to think of himself as a good judge of character, but it seemed he'd been wrong in having never pegged Lord Edwards as stealthy. When he thought about if further, though, the signs were all there. No-one gets that sort of reputation without at least some aptitude for sneaking around... But then again if no one had ever caught him how would he have the reputation?
It was due to pure luck that he saw him - walking, light footed, down the corridors leading to the fire escape. And whether it was through some sort of concern for Victor, or possibly just due to the sort of urge that kills cats and leads children to poke things with sticks - he suspected it was the latter - he just had to make his presence known.
"Guten Morgen, Herr Edwards."
