The Finch family manor was...impressive. Set far back on a rolling green lawn, it was clearly built to impress, a Restoration-era country manor house three stories high and dominating the several acres it was set upon. A broad stone path, lined with small purple flowers, led from the front of the house through an archway that ran under the second floor and through to the back. It was this path that Fletcher, Justin's personal manservant, led Zacharias down to take him to Justin, awaiting in the south gardens.
The gardens were delineated by low square hedges, and in the center was a small raised stone dais, upon which Justin sat, waiting for Zacharias at a small white table with a fruity sort of drink in his hand. He smiled when he saw Zacharias approach, and waved Fletcher away with a gesture as he started down the path in his direction. He looked perhaps more gaunt than he once had - months on the run would do that - but he still smiled even if it didn't touch his eyes as much as it used to. His hair was tied back and he was wearing loose-fitting khakis and a white shirt open at collar and cuffs, simply taking his ease with his journal still open on the table. "Zacharias," he said warmly, embracing his old schoolmate.
