Steerpike was lurking. That's what he did.
He had his stick in hand (purchased from Hepplewhite's of London, Purveyors of Fine Sticks and Stick Accessories, "The Beadle's Favorite"), tossed it idly and thought.

*Vimes walked down the hallway, unknowingly falling into his copper's walk. That's what this place was, after all- an investigation waiting to happen. Though how anyone could expect royalty to be sane was a bit of a poser, after all that inbreeding.*

Steerpike heard someone coming. The someone in question certainly did not have the nancing little strut of most of the Elves, and Steerpike instinctively held his stick in a potential attack position.

*Vimes hadn't survived for this long by being unobservant. Once aware he was being watched, he suddenly appeared at Steerpike's side*
"You aren't an Assassin, or you wouldn't have a white shirt on under your coat", *he said matter-of-factly*, "unless they do things differently here."

"The fact that you're lurking in a dark hallway while carrying a weapon and trying not to be seen."
*He shrugged*
"Work for the king?"

"It's not a weapon," he said idly. "It's my stick. And no."

"My mistake."

"My apologies."
Not an Assassin...and I think he's telling the truth about not working for the king. And not a Watchman, either.

*The hint of a smile showed on Vimes' face*
"You have good taste."
*A stupid thing to say, if the king had spies or the boy was lying, buit he couldn't help it.*

"Sorry to hear that."
*His eyes flicked to the portraits on the walls*
"I don't have such a good reason. It's just genetic."
