The castle is chill, in the hallways, and dark apart from pools of light created by torches placed at wide intervals on the walls.

Havelock is moving, if possible, even more silently than usual. He'd be twitchy if that wasn't a surefire way to mess up your stealth. The shadows are blending obligingly around him, more strongly here than they had in the bar.

Puck can take care of himself, he knows that, but also holds out no hope that any of this is going to be particularly pleasant.

Puck turns, and permits his expression to brighten because Margolotta can't see his face from where she is.

(Yeah, yeah, he knows he's not fooling her. Sometimes it's about the principle of the thing.)

"--Oh," he says.

"Hullo."

"There you are, Havelock," says Margolotta, turning around and raking him with a critical eye.

Apparently he passes muster, as she continues briskly on.

"It seems your friend may be staying for a time. Find him somewhere?"

Puck pushes off lightly from the chair and goes to him, throwing Margolotta a backward glance and a beatific smile.

"Ought I to be worried?" he says under his breath, smile unmoving.

She just raises her eyebrows back at him as if in innocent incomprehension.

"Call for Igor to settle him in when you find somevhere," she tells Havelock. "Then come back here for an hour and we vill run through an exercise or two."

Puck sighs, and rolls his eyes, and drifts through the door with an absent sort of grace.

Havelock gets a realer smile.

Puck makes a bit of a face at the prospect, though the face is mostly anxious enquiry.

"Do you want me to stay? I shall be happier where you are, but she implied I should be more hindrance than help."

"How lucky, then," Puck says lightly, "that if I must, I either need not sleep, or may do so in a discreet cobweb."

A tilt of his head.

"Do you think she shall make better use of me than you will?"

Date: 2010-02-21 03:12 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] puckishly.livejournal.com
"Perhaps," Puck agrees.

He smiles faintly.

"But you have all my will, and she has none of it."

Date: 2010-02-21 03:35 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] puckishly.livejournal.com
His expression, at this juncture, is as relieved as it is pleased-- which is to say, not too much of either, but both are noticeable.

He leans in on tiptoe to press a kiss to Havelock's cheek.

"I regret to report, though by now you must be well aware, that 'wisdom' has never been a particular attribute of mine."

"Oh, do."

Puck trips along beside him to the top of the stairs, reflecting that it is rather a long staircase-- he still hasn't any notion how large this place is.

He glances up and down the hall in curiosity, then back to Havelock.

Puck may not know exactly where they are in relation to the coffins ... but he might suspect a thing or two.

"Where are you going to hide me away, darling?" he asks pleasantly.

"I presume you've free rein in the matter."

Date: 2010-02-21 09:02 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] puckishly.livejournal.com
Puck sticks his head around the door, and quickly puts a hand to his mouth to stifle a storm of snickering.

"Oh my."

He looks to Havelock with a grin.

"Only if you promise to steal inside of a night or noon whilst I feign sleep. Do you suppose the lady has about the place any particularly insubstantial nightshirts?"

Date: 2010-02-21 09:18 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] puckishly.livejournal.com
"--Ooh."

Puck disappears, reappears in said (shadowy) corner, pries open the wardrobe door, and rifles around inside.

After a few moments, there is a muffled "A-ha!" and he emerges triumphantly clutching something ...

Ah.

Well. It's definitely nightshirt-shaped. And ... potentially made of some manner of cotton.

Very ... gauzy ... sheerish ... cotton.

"What do you think?" he says with a grin, holding it to his chest.

(If the answer isn't ridiculous, Puck will begin to suspect that the fusty castle air has touched Havelock's wits.)
