Kazimeriz, on his way up to the owlery, managed to get up the flight of stairs just in time to catch Caroline's sharp, melodius voice.

Lawson... I knew it. She HAS been pulled into a conspiracy with the traitorous cad... Kazimeriz's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the two in conversation. Cari was speaking with Mr. Tipps... about Lawson? Was Tipps in on it too? But perhaps it was not too late. Cari had been an ally once... perhaps he could win her over once again. Perhaps she was just mad over... well, over how things had worked out.

"Tipps." he said gruffly as he gimped over to Caroline. Shall I address her as Miss Avalon? No... Best not to remind her of old wounds. "Cari. " he said gently, his ancient lips pulling into a tiny, respectful smile as he bowed slightly. "May I have a word with you, please?"

Sweet as pie.
