[ If Maika didn't storm out for the first meeting, the second certainly isn't going to catch her easily. There's information she wants — and it's easy for her to feel detached from all this, she's pretty sure.

There's something to be said for knowing how to be angry.
She wonders if it's a skill a knight ever has to learn. The frequency with which she can drive Corvin to distraction suggests maybe no. But after Argenti had kept his cool in the last meeting, she hadn't expected to see him storming off now. Probably plenty of the others will be along to check on him in short order. And yet...
Later, but not that much later, Maika spots her quarry as she prowls through the streets, a wolf with intent. Who needs scent and night vision when her target is that eyecatching? Apparently not caring how it looks to stalk and then sneak up on a probably unarmed and grumpy man, Maika lengthens her stride to slip between city residents and catch up to him from behind. ]
