[Sarah gives the lighter a brief glance but says nothing about it. Somehow it wasn't shocking that out of everyone she'd met, this guy would be the first smoker she ran into. She does flick her next glance to the book-laden shelf nearby and perhaps to any of the sleepy attendants still meandering through the library. There weren't many given the deepening hours of night but she still wondered if any of them would say anything before he ever lit up, if he even did. The way he tapped the package seemed more a gesture to do with his hands while he thought more than anything.
She ends up huffing out another vaguely amused breath.]
The only king I ever met didn't even try to hide his true colors so I suppose the Emperor has a one up on him that way.
[If that had been Jareth on the throne rather than the Emperor? Oh it would be a completely different meeting. She could practically visualize it in her mind and hear the singsong taunt of his voice.
She looks back to her paper, the neatly written rows of questions and answers given. At least all the ones she could recall anyhow, from Bigby's own to Tyrion's and then questions from people she didn't know at present.
I should at least try to introduce myself to everyone on this side eventually, she muses. Not that she deeply cares about sides but it would make it vastly easier to organize themselves in the future, wouldn't it?]
