He glances down at a small notebook, then whispers, loud enough to be overheard, "Sir, I apologize for interrupting, but you have an appointment scheduled for four o'clock. I did not anticipate how much time would be needed here. Would it be possible to finish resolving this matter at a later date?"''		''Willem taps Boudin gently on the arm.

			''"Hmm, no, that's a good point," Antheunis considers. "If they want to use a device like the one Willem read about on a Death nexus..." he shakes his head, "I have no idea what that would mean, but none of the options involve springtime and butterflies. Hmm, wasn't there also a Water nexus? I'll have to check that out too, after we visit the University."''

			''"When? Oh that, just now," says Lazer. "Hmm."''

	Meanwhile, Antheunis performs an impressive series of acrobatic feats and ends up outside the fence again, with the note plus loot from the guard's pocket. The note turns out to be an address -- later, when he shows it to the group, Willem recognizes it as a location somewhere near the university. The thing he grabbed from the guard's pocket turns out to be a heavy iron key on a key-ring, amazingly lifted without a tell-tale clank.

	Willem's impression is that whoever's responsible for this is nearby, off in the back where Maldeghem went to talk to the artisan. [This isn't necessarily obvious to either Willem or Aernoud, but in the interests of reducing confusion I will mention that the study Aernoud was in isn't directly connected to the throne room, but rather there's a connecting corridor which has some other rooms off it.] Whoever's responsible isn't someone Willem has encountered before, but he can tell that they don't have an academic "feel" to their magic; it's much more similar to the few examples of witch-magic or cultist-magic he's seen. What they're trying to do seems to be some kind of unpleasant and thorough taking-the-measure-of magic -- like, maybe the sort of thing you would do as preliminary work to lay a curse on someone, or set a tracking demon on their trail.
