"Sir, yes, sir," Pree replied lightly, though if Dieter would've been able to see, he would've noticed that the levity didn't reach Pree's expression. He was worried and doing a shitty job of hiding it. But the show had to go on; as Dieter had said, there were people still in the library, possibly people stuck in other places, too, thank to this latest trick of the hotel's.
Pree did as instructed. Fortunately, he didn't have to go far to spread the word of other guests suffering surprise blindness in the library. Nor was it a long journey to pour Dieter a warm cup of tea and top it up with a generous glug of liquor. He returned to him before long, announcing himself before he sat down. "Alright, sent out a search party. Apparently there's a maze behind some of the doors, so there's quite a few people we have yet to locate... What a day this has turned into. Here, I fixed you up a little something to take the edge off. Careful, it's rather hot."
