With the air of somebody who knows they are not delivering satisfactory news, "Unfortunately not.
I alerted Cousland, who instantly brought his guards to come and search the place, but they didn't find anythin'."
Perhaps they would have, if she had helped? But she hadn't wanted to leave Cousland's side, wondering if the spy might come back to find him had they all torn off together to look. It was the wrong decision to make. "I asked him a few questions, but he didn't know anythin' of it. Didn't have a clue why somebody would be spyin' on him."
A beat. She has just realised something and adds it in guiltily, "He might have been lyin'?"
