"There are many ways to find out where your excellency is, but each method might make you feel uncomfortable. To prevent any misunderstanding from growing, please allow me to keep it a secret for now," Pat said, half-bowing to Angel with the polite courtesy of a gentleman of the nobility.

As Angel scrutinized Pat, he also took in his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
