So much as he dislikes crowds and the like Norrell would be remiss to ignore an opportunity when it presents itself. So, of course, on at least one day he makes himself available to very kindly be present at the Night Council's stand. He answers questions as pleasantly as he can, willing to talk to students and other interested folk who come forward, and is always ready to talk about what an excellent president Miss Redbright has been. How much he has enjoyed working with her! How much good she has done! How well they have all worked together, and how much good they have done!

There are one or two slightly irate questions directed his way, but despite an arch of an eyebrow he deals with them relatively smoothly. Norrell is well versed in people disagreeing with and mocking him, it makes bitterness simmer unhappily inside him but he can handle it.

Those who have visited him before may even recognise the bright red hair of Lascelles mixing with the people near his stand (no doubt talking up how great Norrell is) and Drawlight's extravagantly dressed figure subtly spreading gossip about the other candidates. Norrell himself, however, stays on the stand -- and offers a small smile to anyone who comes to speak with him and a questioning loft of one eyebrow.
