After taking a few more minutes to make sure that his new informant was going to be properly cooperative, as well as calm her down over the fact that he was having her search for a woman with his last name, Seth moved out to the castle courtyard.
He had already had Corvus positioned out there, looking over the gains from the portal outbreak and, like the good squire he was supposed to be, Seth fell into place behind his Lord.
The issue with the portals had been resolved whilst Seth had been working in his lab. It had already been brought under control by the time he was retreating to his studies, hence why he felt comfortable doing so, but only now had it finally been truly resolved. At least as much as possible.
Since it was an issue that stemmed from the weakening of the space around the city, and possibly beyond, it wasn't something that could be solved for good. But with Lee's help, they at least had it under control.
