[ It's not difficult to track Emmrich down, not in a house full of gossips and maids with considerable emotional investment in, as one of them had put it, "older men with a sort of sexy librarian thing going on". Armand encounters a little difficulty when the manor itself contrives to throw him off the scent and the room he's directed to ends up being on another floor entirely, but he finds the correct window in the end, alighting on the balcony and glad to find no sign of magical wards. A different sort of necromancer than John Gaius, then. Or at least a man who doesn't expect to be disturbed.
The lock is no problem for a telekinetic vampire; he slips soundlessly into the dark room, finding himself in something that looks more like a study than a bedroom, piles of books on every surface, strange diagrams on the walls. The faint scent of the man he's hunting tells him he's in the right place, so he lingers, exploring a little while he waits for his quarry to arrive.
By the time he's discovered, he's made his way through half a dozen volumes, moving them from one stack to another as he finishes them. He doesn't glance up from his latest acquisition as Emmrich arrives, having made himself comfortable in an armchair, flipping through the pages with uncanny speed. ]
You have made yourself very comfortable here, Professor.
