Mmm. Our last meeting was during the ball. Well. He's out of it now, and we must carry on.

[It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. Have to keep focused on the big picture.]

I'm trying to track him down myself, but you know how slippery he can be when the mood seizes him. Though the matter I wish to discuss with him concerns you as well, but might be better to discuss that in person. Are you free today?

[No time like the present, after all.]
