Much like the mouse he had first appeared to be on arrival, Josias' residence in the Diplomacy offices has been as tucked away and unseen as possible. A desk chosen as far into one corner without simply becoming part of the wall, with a steadily growing barricade of books and ledgers across the front edge. Quiet and unobtrusive, he can be there hours or even possibly days without anyone overtly noticing. All a simple bookkeeper could want - quiet, and several years worth of ledgers to pore over.
And all Josias could want of this position - to be able to observe, and think, and yes, do some work occasionally, when it was warranted. Some of it Diplomacy. Most of it his own.
So it is that he is stationed there when the Ambassador returns. Tucked behind his fortress of books, he nevertheless has a clear view of the man, and so comes the best part of being in Riftwatch that he has found so far. Observing the members of this strange collection of people, their manners and interactions. He is quite sure he wouldn't have been able to find similar anywhere else in the world.
