He works at several different places, depending on his whim.

He has rooms in one of the modern prison buildings, and that's where we're sleeping. (The one we're in is called the Victorian prison building.) He keeps me pretty close during the day, and generally I'm in the room with him if he's alone. If he is doing something with a prisoner, sometimes he'll have me wait outside, but I'm not supposed to stray out of earshot.

Mostly, the prisoners are either there, in the Victorian prison building, or in the Georgian prison building. Sometimes he takes the prisoners to a place called Cobb Hall, which is a tower built into the outer wall. I think he does that when he's experimenting with the really dark spells on them. He'll take two or three prisoners and shove them down into the oubliette in the floor below, and allow them up one by one through the day.

Sometimes they're not alive by the end of the day.

When he works in Cobb Hall, he doesn't usually have me in there with him (maybe he thinks I'll get dangerous ideas). I'm allowed to walk on the outer castle wall then, but it's wide out in the open, with good views from the street, and he can stick out his head outside anytime and yell for me, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me to get an owl there.

Sometimes I'm allowed to walk on the wall on the other side of the East Gate, between the Gate and the Observation Tower. Once in the evening he allowed me to walk around inside the Lucy Tower. It's full of the graves of people who were hanged in the castle, centuries ago. It's actually kind of nice and peaceful in there.

He has a suite of three rooms together. He locks the outer door of the suite at night and sleeps with the key under his pillow. Like I said, I sleep on the floor right by his bed.
