The morning after Osren's visit, Due started making notes.
He didn't announce he was making them. Alistair noticed only because Due's hands, which had been resting for the first time in weeks, picked up a pen and began moving again. It wasn't the fast obligation-management writing Due had done through the inquiry weeks, however. This was slower, and steadier, like he was building something that wasn't urgent.
"What is that?" asked Alistair.
"Infrastructure," Due replied, not looking up.
Alistair pulled a chair over and sat across from him.
"Explain."
Due paused. He set his pen down, then adjusted his collar.
