Partly knowing that Evandau is a military man, and partly simply out of habit, Septimus is likewise dressed with slightly formal, slightly military-cut clothing. It isn't quite overt, though the sword he absently belted on makes it more obvious. He'll let the guards take it if he must, but habit rules at times.
He'd known quite well how to deal with Eshai, of course--somewhere between his parents--but Evandau is actually slightly new to him. His father is not a military man, never had been. This will be an interesting experiment. He likes the to-the-point attitude, though, and inclines his head somewhat in acknowledgement.
(It may be slightly less deep than to Eshai. Hopefully Evandau does not know this.)
"Sir." Septimus's own tone is brisk. "Two months ago Emperor Eshai," slightly more respectful for occasion, "graciously discussed the matter of the young turtles and imperial interaction with the hospital."
His expression clouds a little; he'd liked her. Besides, her murder was about the worst trigger he could have gotten. "Under the circumstances, I thought it best to check in, for progress and confirming the information I received."
Gaius Septimus - sorry this is so late :|
