	Providing a polite smile standard to British manners in times of new introductions, Reginald turned to Lauren to respond to her initial query. Last In is First Out, as the uniform rules for military rotation went. Naturally exceptions were made based upon rank and nature of emergency, but if all things were on equal footing, it was considered proper to act in the manner prescribed by the immortal Lewis Carroll's equally immortal character, The Mad Hatter: "Start at the beginning, and when you come to the end, stop." Not that Reginald put much stock in the words of an opium-smoking mathematician turned author who didn't have the forthrightness to pen under his given name, but wisdom came in many unexpected places. 

	[color=b8860b]"A pleasure, Miss Ridgeway, for certain. I shouldn't mind lending my eyes in the archives, of course, if only temporary in nature owing to other business. However, permission must be established by the masters of this institution before a relative layperson such as myself place hands upon the treasures herein. To wit, I should have to hear from the Curator or Lady Munn on the matter."[/color] 

	Concerning the man he had personally approached, Mahendra Zalil, the Lord Major found himself pleasantly surprised. He was being mildly satirical with the comment about the man being Oxford material, and found it noteworthy when he responded that he did indeed attend and graduate from Oxford University back in jolly old England. Unless he was not fully understanding the British idiom, in which case Reginald was simply going to have to push onward, conversationally. [color=b8860b]"Yes, quite. Action in service to King and Country is never wasted, sir. I am a Woolwich man myself; career military, you see. But so long as circumstance brings the two of us together in this place of revered study, I would like to pose a very pointed question, sir: Did Lady Munn happen to mention when she would return?"[/color] 

	Josephine took the occasion to make polite greeting, though it seemed that her attention was focused elsewhere. Not wanting to ruin her emotional crest, he responded with a simple, [color=b8860b]"Likewise of course, madame."[/color] She had her eyes on a potential target, or Reginald was the Queen of France. 

	Ms. Banoub finished up the exchange by posing a question of relation. [color=b8860b]"Ah, I see that you have met the Lord Captain. Yes, the young man is my brother's son; nephew by blood and the Second Heir to the Earldom of Sussex. It would otherwise be a miraculous coincidence having two Keystones this far away from the Motherland simultaneously."[/color]
