Arthur avoids Faolan for a couple days after he finds out. He knows he needs the time to cool down. It feels like a betrayal, but more than that it feels like he's been stupid, like he should have seen it. He winds up trying to remember every detail of every conversation they've ever had. He's always been careful with Faolan, but if he had known he was Night Council, he would have been moreso. It's maddening, and finally when he's trying to retrace the steps of the same conversation for the twentieth time, he decides it's time to just go see him.

It's after lunch one day, and Arthur finds Faolan's office empty. Gone on a break, no doubt, but that just means Arthur can lean on the wall outside with his arms crossed, driving himself crazy with details again as he waits. His usual frown of concentration is sharpened by frustration now, but it's not like he has any weapons on him or is making any attempt to be intimidating.

He's just a little angry, is all.
