Normont moves across to stand little behind and to the side of Dev.
"That is Lady Gwendolyn de Rolo, the youngest child of Lord Percy and Lady Vex'ahlia", he whispers.
For a full six seconds, Dev continues to stand motionless, seeming not to have heard. Normont may be tempted to repeat himself, but at that moment, Dev's mind leaves its state of suspended animation and he suddenly says, in a voice far too sharp, "WHAT?," as if calling over the roaring of ocean waves.
He shakes his head, hearing now, in hindsight, the rudeness of his tone in the echoes rebounding down the hall, and then tries again, this time in a civil tone.
"What? Oh.. Lady Gwendolyn de Rolo... oh, thanks," he trails off, reluctantly peeling his eyes from the family portrait, knowing that he will be thinking about it for a long time. But later. For now he has to pay attention. He notices the glances of the others at him and smiles wanly, 'let's go', before turning to continue following Normont to the archive.
