Zaeryn watched them go for a moment longer than he needed to, and then he turned and walked out the way he had come in.
The Citadel was a large building, and the moment he was back in the upper concourse he had to admit that he had no real idea where Annalise actually was.
She told him to come and find her without actually telling her where she was. And he did not know where her office was, or whether she even had an office in this part of the Citadel at all.
He asked someone where Annalise was, and they told him they had no idea.
He kept walking anyway. He took the lift up to the level where he had last seen her, on the loose principle that if he stayed in the upper halls long enough, someone who knew the building better than he did would eventually point him in the right direction.
