[Lord John Grey is not in the habit of walking about a house quite so undressed as Jamie is himself. Not because of any embarrassment on Lord John's himself, but because it simply isn't proper for a gentleman of John's status. And because he's only ever really lived in the barracks (public quarters) or in his mother's house, for that matter.
So when he stumbles across the other man in the sitting room, despite the hour and the fact that it would be nice to have wrapped himself in a banyan, he'll have to make do with the circumstances presented him.
This whole affair has Lord John similarly restless as the rest of the Fraser family, if not for exactly the same reason as themselves. He knows there are some personal dramas going on, but for the most part he's left them well enough alone. He's not a member of their household, after all. He's merely living in their house. There is a difference.
Soft-footed, Grey steps into the sitting room to find the other man muttering to himself softly in Gaelic. While Lord John cannot understand the language himself, he understands the gist of it quite clearly.]
I hope I am not interrupting... [He flicks the other man a wry smile.]
